Locked in 10pips on GU sell. I was going to manually cancel the long order but I was not sure what you guys are doing with the other side if one is triggered. No trade on E/Y yet. I am not getting errors yet......
From a quick look, there's a serious issue with the way EOD time is defined.
Following lines are wrong: EODMinute=StrToInteger(StringSubstr(EOD,0,2));
EODMinute=StrToInteger(StringSubstr(EODHour,2,2));
They should read:
EODHour =StrToInteger(StringSubstr(EOD,0,2));
EODMinute=StrToInteger(StringSubstr(EOD,2,2));
- EODHour is defined as an integer for hosting the 'hour' portion so it cannot be used as a string StringSubstr(EODHour,2,2) in which we have to search for the hour portion.
- The Minutes and Hour were swapped from the search string (minutes are at the 2nd part of the string (2,2) whereas hour is at the first part (0,2)
Thank you Yannis for pointing this. I would like to ask everyone to please re-download version 3.31 at post #2.

There is also another mistake in The Best where the defaults settings use a 13 pip lock on a 3 pip B/E. (Move.To.BreakEven.Lock.pips and Move.To.BreakEven.at.pips parameters).
Assuming we have a long entry at let say 1.9050, it won't be possible to lock 13 pips (meaning SL should move at 1.9063) when our trade reaches +3 (at 1.9053)

forexdude123, based on Yannis' remarks above, do you think you have accidentally entered those two parameters in reverse?

The long on GU was also triggered and hit the 60 pip T/P.
E/Y short was triggered and just hit T/P of 100

I have made a mistake and reversed the Break even Pips/Lock. Due to my stupid mistake I took a small loss today.
Moving on... Thank you Yannis for correcting all of the bugs in the EA
After testing out this EA on several different pairs and and settings, I have found that it is most profitable on the following two: EUR/JPY and EUR/USD with default settings for each custom EA.
I have optimized these EAs below for the two pairs.
- Default settings are the best (Default is for IBFX, don't need .set file for IBFX users). I have attached settings files for FXDD users. The only difference is FXDD is + 2 hours than IBFX.
- "The Best" is ONLY for EUR/JPY
- "The Best 2" is ONLY for EUR/USD
* Once again, these EAs are set to execute trades during IBFX server times, but I have attached setting for FXDD users *
Enjoy and post comments

forexdude....sorry for all the questions! Do you only take one side of the straddle? Cancel the other order once one of them is triggered? I got lucky and both sides of GU gave me 110 pips today. Lots of movement on the pound/$ today.

No problem for all the questions bro, any time.
I use the 2 EA's for my IBFX Live account, but I also have FXDD for my Demo to test my new ones out.
I trade both sides of the straddle. Thats why I set the break even lock pips very small just incase there is a reverse so it locks in profits.
I also stopped using the GBP/USD straddle EA a few days back. Since you guys are showing impressive results, I will start using the straddle&trail for GBP/USD aswell with my original settings.
