trading with specified hours
-
I've used the hour filter and specified to trade during the hours 8-9am and 2-4pm (GBP/USD) - Asia and NYSE over lapping times.
I'm using a moving avrage cross over to enter trades.
It does start trades in the specified times but when the moving average cross over signals a close position AND is outside of those hours it does nothing (which is good as its only doing what its been told).
Is there a way to tell it to allow the current trade to finish then close it then wait for the next specified trading times?Andrew

If you have "No trade is running", nothing will happen below this block until there is a trade in the pool. But I'm not sure that I fully understand what you mean. If you can show an example here? (I saw your last opened project, but there is no any time filter there, so it's maybe another project)

Hi,
I was experimenting with just a simple moving average, but I've been watching it in the backtester for a while now and it may have been a false alarm. It definately did not close out a position when the MA's crossed. But this time I have only used 1 lot of hours (08:00-21:00). Strange! - probably the backtester in MT5.
I will keep a note.

Looks normal here, ot at least I can't spot the problem
