Conclusion:
Highlights to pay attention to
1. During live operation of the expert the GMT offset parameter is determined automatically based on local time of the computer (GMT_Offset_AUTO=true).
This parameter provides synchronization of the expert settings with the MetaTrader server time.
To ensure the correctness of settings it is necessary:
- compare the GMT time in the expert info area on the chart of currency pair, to which the expert is attached, with http://time.is/GMT (or other reliable source).
- If the values do not match, then set GMT_Offset_AUTO=false and set a value of GMT_Offset_Manual according to the instructions in https://fx-vip.pro/how-to-set-the-correct-gmt-offset-in-the-ea/
2 . In order to activate the News filter function, enable “Allow WebRequest” and add https://nfs.faireconomy.media to the URL list for WebRequest.
To do this, open Tools > Options > Expert Advisors. Check the option “Allow WebRequests for listed URL:”. Add https://nfs.faireconomy.media and click OK.
3. By default, in the expert settings, the trading lot size is set to 0.01 for every 100 units of balance.
After testing on real accounts this parameter can be changed depending on your preferences. I recommend using a fixed lot (Use_Fix_Lots) or a recovery money management (Use_MM_Reg_1 or Use_MM_Reg_2).
4. The expert works the same on any timeframe, as it automatically takes the necessary data from several timeframes.
Because the EA uses several timeframes for analysis, then for backtesting it is necessary that quotes of all timeframes (M1, M15, M30, H1, H4) be downloaded to the terminal. At the same time, the backtest itself is produced on the M1 timeframe.
5. The EA logs information on spread, slippage and other useful information when performing trades, and also when it is possible to make trades.
To write this information, set the parameter Record_Deals = true;
To view this information:
- go to MQL4/Files in the terminal folder and open the corresponding file (this action can be made in time which is not coinciding with time of opening of transactions by the expert and when there is no open transactions of the expert);
- after viewing, close the file (so that the expert could write down information further).
6. If you use an expert on different currency pairs, then there is no need to change the magic numbers (“magics”), since the expert identifies the transactions simultaneously by magic number and by currency pair.
frequently asked question
- What has caused distinction of transactions on accounts of different brokers? First, different brokers have a different behavior of change of spread value. I.e. spread values at different brokers change in different timepoints and on the different number of points. Secondly, different brokers have different suppliers of quotations. I.e. quotations at different brokers can differ a little. Closing times on Friday and opening trades on Monday may differ by several minutes with different brokers.

Reminder: As with every trading system, always remember that forex trading can be risky. Don’t trade with money that you can not afford to lose. It is always best to test EA’s first on demo accounts, or live accounts running low lotsize. You can always increase risk later!
