erzanza Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 The fact is, is now the edu version working wth GMT 2? In my case it has made no trade... and your experience? I mean the previous edu version ....not the distro of djmanu.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elma Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Hmm..i have weir experience with educated Shocker v2.0 (not dmaju edu one).. I still have opening on USDCAD pair after set DST = true & GMT = 2 (Alpari broker) but other pair like EURUSD, USDCHF all no opening. the setting for these 3 pairs are exactly the same... I was wonder why this could happen? Quote ~Money often costs too much~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipaholic Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I didn't get any trades today live, but got 4 trades on demo. Go figure. At least no losses live, 7 hours later and still 2 trades open on demo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmanu Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) Hi, Don't use the previous version i posted, the trading hours are not correct in DST. You can download this one, it will work as expected, the setting 'usedst' has been implemented so you'll have to set usedst=true. Feedbacks appreciated :) http://www.multiupload.com/7Y0YNE22YG Also i've an issue with the original version (with DLL & license), error msg when it tried to close a trade (Alpari UK Micro Live): 2010.04.06 23:17:13 Forex Shocker 2.0 EURUSD,M15: There was an error closing the trade.Error is:3 I had to close the trades manually, do you know where is the problem ?

erzanza Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Dear all, sorry my ignorance. BUT DST = true, is not used for who is trading in north america broker? I mean a person that is broking with alpari, need to use it? Or just put GMT 2.0 manually? Sorry but i have doubts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmanu Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) Use autogmtoffset=true and usedst=true in summer and autogmtoffset=true and usedst=false in winter ,usedst is used in the US as well :) If you want to backtest in summer: manualgmtoffset=your_autogmtoffset in summer and usedst=true in winter: use manualgmtoffset=your_autogmtoffset in winter and usedst=false Clear enough ?

erzanza Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Umm, Yes I think is clear enough, thanks... Following you , i am on alpari so my setting have to be...: autogmtoffset=true and usedst=true and just ignore manual GMT (live and not backtesting) (summer period) If i need to backtest in summer --->manualgmtoffset=your_autogmtoffset ...Ok I will try, Is my statement correct? Appreciate you help dj, sorry i am quite a newbie in the settings world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipaholic Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Hit 2 SLs yesterday, on both UC and EU, wiped out a lot of gains. It will take a couple of weeks to recover this. And that is without any more losses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
⭐ Ormazd Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Same here. Suffered 2 stop losses on USDCHF which wiped out whole previous gain. And i using legit version. The price for the EA they charging now for newcomers is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaCrazy Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 not a good idea to trade when FOMC minutes are released or when the fed chairman speaks during the afternoon as well as FOMC statements or FOMC rate announcements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rio Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I join you guys in the wipeout department. UCAD had a wipe, as did twin UC wipeouts which will take another 3 weeks of (hopefully no more wipeouts) to recover from. A really terrible start to the month. One more wipeout and we'll be lucky to break even this month. The thing is, Shocker often trades counter trend, and the asian session has been heavily trending recently. The Ucad and UC wipeouts could have been avoided if shocker decided to trade with the trend instead of against it. I have to wonder what logic it was thinking of... Even still, the trades never quite hit tp (came close), and this may well be a spread issue. (damn brokers) Narrowly dodged a GBP wipeout just last session (it settled for a small loss. Grr) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonKwok Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 hello, I wanted to buy this EA but they dun offer any refund. If you have bought this EA earlier before they doubled the price, was there refund policy at that time? Please kindly advice. Thanks.

Chip4Pips Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 No refund when I bought it either, and I've been using live for quite a while. No issues with support when I've needed to be sent a new version when switching brokers. JasonKwok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip4Pips Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Saw the U/C S/L in Backtest but not the E/U S/L, how comes ? My guess would be that it's got to be the data feed. I didn't experience the E/U S/L in my account, so maybe your brokerage data feed would not have tripped the S/L either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rio Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Forex shocker has a better last session. Will take a while for it to dig itself out of the hole it made this month, but it's half way there. Another 2 good trading sessions and we'll be back at square-one. That should leave the next two weeks of the month to actually pull in profit (assuming no more wipeouts this month) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Msdogan Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 What is the settings of this Ea ? Must i do usedst false or set gmset manually while backtesting ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rio Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Forex shocker climbed itself out of the hole it dug at the beginning of the month now overt he last 3 consecutive sessions, and we are very nearly on track for our 10% monthly profit -- one week early (assuming more SL hits do not occur to drop my profits out by the end of the month!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rio Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Well, so much for that. Last night Shocker experienced a whopping 4 full stoploss hits, taking the total of wipeouts for this month to 7. That wiped out all monthly profits (it was up nearly 20% for the month before it did this!) and left a hole in my balance. There is one more week of the month to go, so assuming no more wipeouts of this nature, we may break even this month, but 10% is looking a bit close to call! 4 SL wipeouts in one session is a new low for this EA.

acosma Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Same thing for me, 4 full stoploss. When I see this thing I start to think again if it's possible to make profit with ea on forex !! anyway my shocker is still in profit from first day of start trade (15th of march) but now only 6% of gain. consistent profit I think it's not possible with this type of ea, maybe there are others ea around that makes consistent profit but I don't think scalping ea, maybe swing trading ea on higher timeframe like h1, h4 and d1.

Rio Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 4 wipeouts on one night is the worst I've seen this EA.... and it was going so well this month even with the setback of 2 wipes earlier on in the month! Last time I saw wipeouts this bad was with Forex Shocker v1 I will have to pull Forex Shocker off if it has an unprofitable month. I think the law of averages says that we'll end up back in the black by the end of the month, but events like this are really disappointing.
