Re: caspian EA

 

 

Their tests are run on FxOpen with 22-24 EURGBP respectively 23-03 EURCHF:

 

I've just installed the FxOpen client and I can confirm that their GMT offset is +3. So, unless I'm somehow mistaken, the EA creators run it with 19-21 GMT EURGBP and 20-00 GMT EURCHF as the trade interval.

 

 

birt got official GMT times.

Don't study roots while others pick up the fruits.

Somebody said E/G dll was a fake so I didn't include in my library. Both E/G and E/C trading fine today.

 

 

logical because the E/G version have no dll calls, the E/C version only have dll call functions for the E/C dll, so the E/G dll it´s a fake that you think it can´t be dragonpips!

Re: caspian EA

 

yes I have same spread showing on all my live brokers as well with the demo too, but they open trades on EURGBP so i think its should be a error from the code, can someone please educate this version for us to be able to make some possible corrections.

 

Cheers guys

Re: caspian EA

 

I read the Caspian CHF code, and want to share some my understanding with you regarding the time setting:

 

extern int StartHour = 23;

extern int EndHour = 2;

 

1. The two parameters above are SERVER TIME! They are not GMT.

 

2. If you set StartHour = 23 and EndHour = 2, it will trade from 23:00 to 2:59!!! (This is different from what we have got used to.) If you do not have any existing orders, it will not open any new orders after 2:30.

 

3. If you set StartHour = 23 and EndHour = 23, it will trade from 23:00 to 23:59. This is different from what Fapturbo does. Fapturbo will trade 24 hrs if you set start and end hr the same.

 

Thanks, wesladf. I add one more note here:

4. If you want to trade 24 hrs, set StartHour = 0 and EndHour = 24 (or 23 does not really matter here).

 

5. On Monday, if your EndHour = 2, it will not trade before 3:00am (2:00+1). But if you set EndHour = 22, it will not trade before 23:00(22:00+1). Then you will not get any trades on Monday. This is a mistake by author. I have backtested, and the result confirmed.

 

6. On Friday, it will not trade after 18:00(Server time! This is another mistake by the author. He should not use server time here).

 

7. For some brokers with minus GMT offset (for example ATC's GMT offset is -4) will start trading from Sunday. But this EA will allow trading on Sunday. The author missed checking trading hours on Sunday.

 

Anyway, we need to be careful with those mistakes of trading hours because the author did not use a GMToffset parameter, and he did not know how your server time is related to GMT.

 

Caspian GBP EndHour parameter works differently from Caspain CHF Endhour. If you set Endhour = 2. It will stop trading after 1:59 instead of 2:59. Caspian GBP has some similar mistakes of trading hours. I have to take a look further more, and do a backtest.

 

Any comments?

Thanks so much for your observation about this EA, but to my own understanding if we want to achieve a trading for 24hours we only need to set the time from 0-23 then it will trade 24hours all days.

Let me know if this is useful to you.
