Hi
Apologies if this has been asked before, but does anyone know whether the below settings would cause the EA to only look to open daily trades at 01:30 broker time?
When I tried this before, it did not work.
Thanks
Leon

I usually trade off lower time frames, but I have generated a few daily strategies now, which I’d like to use.
The problem is that most brokers close the market for a few minutes at the end of the day, so if the EA tries to place orders at this time, it fails, so I need it to place the order slightly later, which is why I played around with these settings.
I’m not actually sure what these settings are supposed to be used for? They do not seem to do what I thought they should do – which was to only place orders between the times specified.

Hello,
ok, I will create an example on how to time the entry precisely
That would be great, thanks.

Hello,
you can do it like this but you also have to limit the number of trades to 1 since you only require 1 trade per day
Also use ‘Every tick’ testing precision in MetaTrader to get correct behavior

Hello,
open EA WIzard, use the program menu Files -> Load Strategy. It should work. Let me know if any issues

I’m slightly confused though. I used SQ to generate daily strategies. I have already put in the work to generate them and backtest them. The file you sent me is used with EA Wizard, NOT SQ, so are you saying the strategies I have generated and the settings which I asked about originally can not be used?

Hello,
oh sorry I thought you were trying to do that in Wizard.
You can do it with EA generated by SQ but you would have to edit the final code. It’s not that difficult. Send me your STR file EA code to [email protected] and I can modify it if a need be
