I figured out how to add the "Month"... but that didn't do it...

I added:
----------------------------------
extern int NMonth=9;
...
If (Month()!=NMonth && Day()!=NDay) {
etc...
etc...
------------------------------------------
But what it does now is allow me to back-test every day of the CURRENT server month (sept.) all in one run, instead of doing it day by day... (i.e. I set "use dates" from 01/01/07 to 9/28/07 and all it does is give me results for September) but I still can't back-test any other months beyond current month.
Changing the "NMonth=8",7,6,etc... doesn't do it.


BOTTOM LINE is this: I want to test this EA to see results of trading it EVERY DAY AT 2 am EST for the past 6 months.

I would really appreciate the help. Thank You.

I believe you would want a disjunction rather than conjunction, i.e., like:
In words, the condition is if either it is the wrong month, or it is the wrong day (of the right month), then ...

Well, trial and error is how we learn

I simply commented out the line where it has the (Day()!=NDay) condition and it worked like a charm. Thank you for helping.

Any body has used the EA for real trading ? How is result..

Hello; I know this is very easy for someone who knows what they are doing, but I spent 4 days trying and it just doesn't work

Attached is the original "Amazing EA". It is working perfectly for trading news. But it has only one "TakeProfit" level. I would like to use it for a tunnel breakout system and would like 3 "Take Profit" levels. So when price breaks out long/short I can have - 1st T/P at +15; 2nd T/P +30 and 3rd at +45 or be able to fade out and sell X lots in X increments (i.e. sell .5 lots every 20 pips)

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello;
Anyone have any idea how to modify "AmazingEA" attached to post #15... because I've seen numerous posts from people asking for a similar EA but haven't been able to find solid responses.

Is it even possible to do?... Add multiple, individual T/P levels to this EA.

Thank you kindly for your help.

So has anyone tested this expert advisor live?

A problem that I came across is the precise filling of orders. You do not allways get the price that you based your calcs on and that can kill an account in no time.

Another approach may be as follows: Open a long and short position at the same price, but with a tight SL - say 10 pips. You are then in the market both ways. If the price moves, you are already filled and not at the mercy of some broker, who widens spreads at news time. If either stoploss gets taken out, the other trade will go on into profit.

What do you think?


Cheers
