Topic: Daily Strategy does not open trades because of "closed market"

Hi,
I downloaded daily data from EURTRY and got some wonderful strategies with EA Studio. However my broker never opens trades because at the beginning of any new daily bar "the market is closed". A bit later it opens again but the EA is ready for that day then!
Is there any possibility to open trades some minutes earlier or later? Or should I try other timeframes?
Thank you for helping me outsmarting the brokers who always outsmarting me!

Try this.

Modify the existing code in Metaeditor for the void OnTick() in the Portfolio compilation or single strategy with the following code. Recompile and then run.

I use this for Pepperstone for D1 as some trades were not initiated on open using the native code from the portfolio compiler.

void OnTick()
{
if(Time[0]>barTime && MarketInfo(_Symbol, MODE_TRADEALLOWED) )
{
barTime=Time[0];
OnBar();
}
}

It is a nice idea. If it works well, I may add it in the standard code.

I use this for real and demo accounts in MT4 but not for backtest strategies. Once the code is adjusted it won't work in Strategy Tester. You therefore need to include 2 types of 'On tick' code elements if you want it to work in both MT4 environments (one for strategy tester - eg. the current standard code generated by EA Studio) and this separate code for (live/demo accounts).

Re: Daily Strategy does not open trades because of "closed market"

Detecting Tester mode is easy.

Do that modification work well on all timeframes?

Fixed `OnTick` function:

void OnTick()
  {
   // Modification: Check if trading is allowed
   if(!IsTesting() && !MarketInfo(_Symbol, MODE_TRADEALLOWED)) return;

   if(Time[0]>barTime)
     {
      barTime=Time[0];
      OnBar();
     }
  }

Hi Popov :-).

I haven't tested the 'On Tick' modification on shorter timeframes as I only trade live on D1....so not sure.

Thanks for the enhanced code.
