@roar Oh I see what you mean! I definitely wouldn't have been able to get it working without your help (very tricky!). It works! Thanks very much mate.

Re: My backtest EA stops due to "Market closed" message in the Journal tab

Hi All,

Regarding the post mentioned above on the "Market Closed" issue...

I love fxDreema but this is the ONE REAL ISSUE that I have come across and can't find a way around. @fxDreema

I have tried the ideas that have been mentioned on the few posts on this matter but nothing works for me.

It is logical to expect that you are asking the EA to trade when the market is closed, and so the error occurs. But I don't think this is the case. Third party EAs do not show the same error within the same trading periods.

Does anyone know of a solution that works for this issue?

Thanks,

Dre

@OntradingX Thanks again.

I'm not using any Variables:

@OntradingX Thanks, appreciate the support but I'm still struggling.

Copying the code & instructions above I get this error:

Also, is the last parameter Datatype ENUM_CALENDAR_EVENT_IMPORTANCE ?

Thanks

@OntradingX What adjusts are required? Could you send a screenshot?

@morteza-alishahi Is it working for you?

Has anybody been able to get this to work?

Hi all,

Thanks for sharing the great work @QuantEngineer

Should this work as a simple test?

It's not working for me currently as trades are still taken 2 minutes before and after economic calendar events.

Any advice?

That's great - thank you!

Hi guys,

Is it possible to create a condition that calculates the amount of account equity drawdown within the current day?

Use example:

If the account equity drops below -$100 for the current day, stop trading

Thanks
