Time dependent EA, timing of Algowizard Hours vs Broker Hours

2 replies

3 years ago #268397

I have a set of EAs in multiple timeframes and currency pairs that looks great during certain trading hours, when I set specific hours to open trades in Algowizard.

When I run the same backtest over several years using metatrader data which appears to be GMT+2 (i.e. at 11:50am time on the chart now GMT is still 9:50am) it gives totally different results.

What time is AlgoWizard trading hours based on compared with GMT so I can adjust it in the EA correctly to get the right results?

Hello,

AlgoWizard uses GMT zone by default. Note there is also GMT+2 data available in AlgoWizard …

Thanks, the EA’s best hours in GMT is hours 20 to 24.

The code for GMT+2 hours of 22 to 02 doesn’t work. Could you please fix the code so that it will work correctly with the required timeframes for the EA.

A helpful option would be to allow 2 time periods of trading, rather than just 1, as this would fix that issue.

Risk Disclosure:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
