Added new parameters and features
'Use Even LotSize' - trading only with even lots to reduce commissions.
'Minutes To Start/Stop Placing Orders' - allows you to fine-tune the trading interval.

'Rollover Start Time 23:XX' - rollover start minutes.
'Rollover End Time 00:XX' - rollover end minutes.
'Remove TakeProfit During Rollover' - removes TP for all orders at the specified rollover time. This option helps to avoid closing trades via TP during bad trading conditions, since slippage can turn a profitable trade into a losing one.
'Increase StopLoss During Rollover' - increases SL for all orders at the specified rollover time. This option helps to avoid activating SL due to spread widening during bad trading conditions (which may lead to a big loss).
'StopLoss, in % ATR' - volatility based stop loss expressed as a percentage of the Average True Range indicator.
'Check for Instances of the EA' - checks that only one instance of the EA is running at a time. If EA detects other instances with the same UID, trading will be disabled.

'Disable Trading on Holidays' - enable/disable trading on bank holidays according to the real-time Economic Calendar (https://www.investing.com). This filter is currency-specific.

'Adjust Order Price?' - if false, all child orders will be placed at the same price (without a step). If true, then the entry price of child orders will be placed with the step specified by 'Order Price Step' parameter (positive or negative).
'Font Size' - reduce this value if you're having trouble with the info panel.
'Show News List' - displays a list of upcoming news events to the right of the info panel.

Версия 3.56
2021.07.21
Рекомендуемое обновление
- Добавлен резервный URL для автоматического определения GMT: http:/ / timesrv.online (удалите пробелы!)
- Добавлен новый параметр: 'Disable Automatic GMT Detection'. Установите его в значение 'true', чтобы отключить автоматическое определение GMT. Вы можете использовать параметры 'GMT Test/Manual' и 'DST Test/Manual' для ручной установки смещения GMT в реальной торговле.
- Добавлена опция использования фильтра новостей в тестере стратегий. Для применения опции необходимо скачать файл данных новостных событий 'NewsEvents.txt' и скопировать его в общую директорию MT4/5 - '\Common\Files' (File -> Open Data Folder -> Up to 'Terminal' -> Common -> Files). Файл данных можно найти в разделе Комментарии.
Версия 3.45
2021.07.05
Рекомендуемое обновление
- Улучшения в 'Swap Filter', которые увеличивают производительность (количество сделок).
- Добавлена новая поддерживаемая пара: CHFJPY.
- Добавлена новая функция 'Adjust Order Price', позволяющая корректировать цену открытия отложенных ордеров. Этот параметр может помочь улучшить исполнение ордеров на крупных счетах.
Версия 3.33
2021.06.21
Рекомендуемое обновление
- Введен новый параметр 'Maximum Net Number of Currencies', позволяющий ограничить количество открытых сделок с одними и теми же валютами (не символами/валютными парами) в одном направлении. Параметр не приводит к улучшению производительности на тестах, однако ограничивает риски, поэтому рекомендуется использовать его со значением 2, если одновременно торгуется более 3 пар.
Например, мы установили 'Maximum Net Number of Currencies'=2 и имеем 3 открытые позиции:
лонг EURUSD
лонг GBPUSD
шорт EURCHF
Чистое количество открытых позиций с одинаковыми валютами:
EUR = 0 (лонг EURUSD + шорт EURCHF)
USD = -2 (лонг EURUSD + лонг GBPUSD)
GBP = 1 (лонг GBPUSD)
CHF = 1 (шот EURCHF)
Как видно, USD достиг максимального предела (-2), поэтому любые ордера, которые могут привести к новой короткой сделке по USD (например, шорт USDCHF), будут отменены и запрещены.
- Улучшения в параметре 'Maximum Symbols at a time'. Теперь он обрабатывается на каждом тике, если это необходимо.
Однако, советник входит в сделку с отложенными ордерами, поэтому максимальный лимит может быть превышен, если при сильном движении цены одновременно срабатывает/исполняется множество лимитных ордеров.
- Исправлены некоторые проблемы с логированием.
- Несколько небольших улучшений, не влияющих на производительность.
Версия 3.28
2021.06.16
- Изменено значение по умолчанию параметра Lot-sizing Method (с 'Low Risk Preset' на 'Fixed Lots');
- Исправление мелких ошибок.

Initial update
I wanted to wait until I have gained sufficient experience before posting a review for this EA...I am using 'Night Hunter Pro' now for appr. 10 months and - despite having some declines - I am very happy with this scalper. I run it for the three main currencies GBPUSD, EURUSD and EURCHF. In two months I had (minor!) losses which were overcompensated by gains in the other 8 months. In my opinion the EA is very transparent and "honest", i.e. not promising a fortune overnight but giving a solid gain over time. Thanks, Valeriia!
