Expert Logging Function(ver. 2.92 or higher)

• Take a look at Figure 1 in the screenshots section. This function can help to find out the reasons why the EA opened (or not) a trade in backtesting / live trading.

Settings:

• Fixed Order Size – fixed trading lot
• Enable AutoLot – use automatic lot calculation
• Balance For Every 0.01 Lots – balance to be used per 0.01lots (automatic lotsize based on balance)
• Max Risk Per Trade – auto MM based on the stop loss and deposit size. For example: at a value of 5, closing a trade by stop loss will result in a loss of 5% of the balance
• Maximum LotSize – maximal allowed trading lot
• GMT Offset Auto – if true, the EA will find the GMT offset automatically. Allow requests to https:/ /www. worldtimeserver .com (remember to delete spaces!)
• GMT Offset Manual – set your broker’s time zone (in winter)
• Adjust DST Manual – set your broker’s DST

• Monday Trading – true/false – enable or disable trading on Monday
• Tuesday Trading – true/false – enable or disable trading on Tuesday
• Wednesday Trading – true/false – enable or disable trading on Wednesday
• Thursday Trading – true/false – enable or disable trading on Thursday
• Friday Trading – true/false – enable or disable trading on Friday
• Friday Exit – true/false – if you wish to close all trades on Friday, you should use FridayExit=true
• Friday Exit Hour – the robot will close all open positions at this hour on Friday

• Trade Direction – long and(or) short can be selected
• Volatility Ratio – filter based on intraday volatility. Default value: 55. Recommended values: 0…100
• Hour/Minute to Open a Trade – here you can adjust the hour/minute for opening a trade. It has to be set in GMT+2 DST:US/EU (corresponds to GMT+2 in winter, GMT+3 in summer) timezone which gives five full 24-hour daily candles each week and is used by most brokers. The daily candles open at 0:00 during the bank rollover time. I use default settings. This parameter does not depend on the broker or PC/VPS local time. Minutes should be divisible by 5, for example: 0,5,10…55
• Maximum Spread – maximum allowable spread, pips
• Maximum Slippage – maximum allowable slippage for instant accounts, pips. Increase it to avoid re-quotes and off-quotes
• Take Profit – take profit in pips (1 pip = 10 points for a 5-digit broker)
• Stop Loss – stop loss in pips
• Hide Stop Loss – enable/disable hiding stop-loss (SL is executed by the EA). If Grid strategy enabled, SL will be disabled at all
• Trailing SL – trailing stop in pips
• Trailing SL Start – when to start the trailing stop
• Max Holding Time – maximal position holding time – a maximum number of bars between opening a position and closing it completely

• Magic Number – unique identifier for EA’s orders
• Order Comment – comment for EA’s orders
• Enable Grid – enable/disable grid strategy. I will not use the grid strategy, it was requested by customers
• Grid Spacing/Grid Multiplier/Grid Size – space between orders / grid multiplier / max. number of grid orders
• Grid Custom Multipliers – custom multipliers for each step separated by a comma, for example – 1,2,4,8,16
