Time EA
We developed an EA that opens either (depending on settings) a buy or a sell every one minute, and then closes them based on p/l setting. If you like I would provide this for testing provided that you share the results with the community.
Hello !!
Will be a pleasure.
Best regards.
Someone else wants to help me?
Bests regards.
CROM, please

Really thanks sxted.
I want to do some tests, I think that there are some intraday hourly patterns.
Best regards.
Hello,
I have this code, but I try to close the trade after a period of time ( for example 3 hours ) but I can´t.
If someone else wants to help me....I´m looking for intraday hourly patterns. ( 15:00 - 18:00 / for eurusd) ;)
