M1 timerame is better.

Don't forget "allow live trading" in 2 places: in EA's settings (small window during the attaching to the chart) and n MetaTrader's settings.

Don't forget allow DLL and not allow confirmation.

Check calendar here https://www.mql5.com/en/forum

Probable, no any high impact 9rating=3) news today.

You may use your own settings or close trades manually. Most of the people are monitoring the trades to close it manually. I ma not closing manually (don't have time to monitor).

Thank you for all your help.

It should work fine now. It was some problem with Metatrader/broker connection, or gap in data or something. It should work now.

Thanks ND... its working fine now.

You're doing an awesome job!!

 

Setup ?

I have my EA NewsTrader_v5.3_gbpusd compiled and running on M1 chart with the following default settings, but it didn't take the trade this morning at 4:30 GMT.

Also I seem to be missing the news info that shows up on the chart.

Any thoughts on how to fix the above?

Thanks again for all your help.

It should not be any trades this morning for GBPUSD.

You may see some movement on my image at 10:30 Alpari rus broker time (it is 08:30 GMT) but I rated this news as medium impact (rating=2) in our calendar.

Because if you use my settings so I am trading news with high impact only (rating 3) according to this calendar https://www.mql5.com/en/forum

This NewsTrader is trading exact this calendar. I am testing my calendar in my settings (ID=4) here https://www.mql5.com/en/forum

Because it is just only calendar we have.

You may trade news with high impact and medium impact all together if you want. Just change rating filter (minimum 2 and max 3).

I am trading rating 3 only because I do not have time to manage every medium/high impacted trades to close it manually for example so I decided to have just few trades per week with high impact only.

Two months ago I traded NFP only (once per month) and it was very profitable.

Your chart should look like mine on the image.

If not so it may be a problem with symbols in IBFX broker. For example:

- my broker: GBPUSD, EURUSD, USDJPY and so on;

- your IBFX account: GBPUSDm, EURUSDm, USDJPYm and so on.

I just looked inside the code and did not find anything to change from GBPUSD to your GBPUSDm. So,

- if the other charts/pairs are working for you so it is something with your Metatrader's setings ("allow live trading", "allow DLL" and so on);

- if the other pairs don't work also so it may be with those symbols (GBPUSD - GBPUSDm) and we may ask Igorad to made modification for IBFX broker especially.

I do not have account with IBFX and can not check. probable it works fine with IBFX.

May be some other members who are using this broker may reply.

 

yezbick...

just a guess... but have you checked the following:

Edit: sorry ND... we must have been posting at the same time.

Newdigital & SuzanneFx,

Thank you for your assistance.

I have the settings as you have shown in the EA properties. I changed the Min to 2 and Max to 3 other settings are still listed as default. Confirm DLL function cells is unclicked as above.

My chart is still the same. All other pairs have the same trouble and show the same as below.

GBPUSD NewsTrader did not trade the CPI news at 14:30 with min and max at 3

Thanks again for all your help.

 

Hi yezbick,

I've some questions to you:

1. Do you have file Calendar_2007-05-13.csv in ..experts/files folder?

2. What you can see in the Terminal-Experts Window?

3. Could you send please your log file for today from experts/logs folder?

I've just attached the EA to IBFX(minis) without any problems.

The EA creates this file itself.

Could you upload log file for today ( 20070515.log )?

Hi yezbick,

You did not forget about webget files?

EA consists of 3 files: EA, webget "include" and webget "library" dll file.

Check everything with MetaTrader's settings.
