Envelopes 3.01 - From Todd
I noticed the parameter.set didn't get attached, so here's what to do...
in the code, modify
if(Hour()>TimeOpen... to... if(Hour()>=TimeOpen
(for each of the 6(six) OrderSend commands)
then in F7, inputs (or in StrategyTester, Expert Properties)...
TimeOpen=0
TimeEnd=2
TimeDelete=23
everything else, default...
Is the data correct?
"If(Hour()>TimeOpen... to... if(Hour()>=TimeOpen
(for each of the 6(six) OrderSend commands)
then in F7, inputs (or in StrategyTester, Expert Properties)...
TimeOpen=0
TimeEnd=2
TimeDelete=23"
Todd,
In your forward testing results that you posted to the Yahoo group, are you still using this (below) as the standard setting instead of 0, 18, 23?
Time Begin.....0
Time End.......2
Time Delete...23
I found an other version of this EA. May be it is the same which was already posted here. I do not know. The author tested it with defauls settings, m5, 7 pairs and 0.1 lot having results.
New Version of Envelope ... refined, edited, will trade multiple pairs/charts in same account w/o conflict, will sendmail() trade results to email/sms address when trade closed. (DeleteOrders==true) will delete all open StopOrders, default=false. Double (variable)TimeDelete incorporated into OrderExpiration(). Use 0.4 EnvDeviation GBPUSD & 0.57 EURUSD.
sorry for all the updates, when i see something in the code that can be improved or streamlined i do it, but i'm not sure if it warrants a version number change. i too am testing on ibfx demo, defaults USD majors, and when the account expires i'll change the version number so that everyone can be sure to have the latest mod...
thanks for you patience, gl/gt
THX for this work 
Latest Version.
It was some very small bug in magicnumber as I understand correctly.
So, this envelope EA is the latest for 3.01.
