Where did I go wrong...?

Do you have Autotrading patch installed?

Goodmorning from Greece!
I have the Trading station console and Marketscope 2.0, also I use some strategies with the "allow trade" ON. Is it OK or I must have the autotrading patch for this strategy?
THANX for your time!

Hi

I've installed the Breakout indicator and strategy and both seem to work fine, but when I backtested the autotrading option against either G/J or G/U pairs, I cannot get the entry strategy to co-incide with breakout of the pair. It is usually a matter of a 2 or more hours out when on a 60minute timeframe and despite fiddling with different time frames. I'm running off local time, GMT - not sure if that has anything to do with it. Also the pip offset is set to zero.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

thanks

Hi all!!!
I install the "autotrading patch" and all seems to be OK.
But... I have the same problem with costock. The time that breakout take place must be at 15.30, but the backtesting give me a sing at 22.30.
(see the screenshot below)

Dear
First of all thanks for your big effort
The strategy working fine except some pairs doesn't trigger like GBPJPY and EURJPY
Also can make some modification i try to list it
1- strategy deal only with its order not with any other order with the same pair from another strategy
2- the strategy doesn't close the opposite order i.e hedging ( my account allow hedging) so can catch to order buy and sell at the same time
3- the ability to change the number of order 1, 2, 3, ... or any other number ( now either one or all )
sorry about my language
Thanks so much........

Well, I think that problem is on time settings. Strategy does n't recognize the time zone (EST, GMT, LOCAL). Trades are synchronize with EST time zone only.

e.g. If I setup the strategy from 10.00 to 15.00 local time (GMT +2), trades take place from 10.00 to 15.00 EST time (means 17.00 - 22.00 local time).

Best regards for your services. Kisses from Greece

I would know if the problem on time setting have been correct
I have applied this strategy to Eur/usd but I have problem of entry time.
If I put the same setting on the indicator on the strategie the backtest make different entries.
I believe that it doesn't recognize the "local time setting" on strategy.
I have also set the parameter "once a day" YES but the strategies makes two operations in one day
Can you fix it ?
if works I would add incremental and decremental order,if it's possible .

thanks in advance
