Same here - -40 for FMT, NO TRADE for TMT.
I had a TMT trade today (full SL).
I had the following filters set:
UseADRFilter true
UseMomentumBoundary true
UseLongCandleFilter true
Have I got my setup wrong?
Thanks
Maybe your time was wrong? 0730 Alpari time?
At 08:30 Alpari time, my signal was No Trade. Alpari US Pro is GMT+2, or 08:30. Not sure about Alpari US Standard.
Well, I had two TMTs running on separate demo accounts with the same settings on the same computer/connection, this morning.
One traded and the other gave 'no signal', not 'NO TRADE'.
I'm not sure what is going on. Both my FMT accounts, also on the same computer/connection traded.
Anyone else getting spurious results?

My No Trade yesterday was on Alpari US. Had a long today. Using a -25 offset pending trade:
Expert Advisor to me
show details 1:31 AM (5 hours ago)
LONG Trade opened at price : 1.60168.
Must remember next time use a higher TP and lower SL with a pending order. Yesterday I caught the market with -35 pending order. But chickened out, because of the red alert news.
Thanks. As I suspected, multiple variables at work here in terms of entry settings; not just filters and not to mention connection gripes. I'm migrating my DEMOs onto ThinkForex's VPS today. That should give me a constant from a computing/connection point of view ate least.
Please let us know how ThinkForex works. My provider, Gallant, seems buggy and crash-prone with Turbo, and their support is worse than their platform. I advise others to look elsewhere for VPS.
I have to say I have found ThinkForex to be excellent so far. Quality of advice and speed of service has been second to none; responsive live chat is very good too. Financial security checks out too. Dealing time is spot on, always. Ive had no slippage either. The VPS has just has a revamp and claims 100% uptime with fast connection and STP/ECN availability. Spreads are very reasonable too. I recommend them, thus far.
hi,Someone has created a backtest on TMT which is attached to this thread. The file is called Backtest(Turbo Morning Trade).
I have tried to find this post. Can you help me, please?
I have attached it for you. I found it by using the 'paper-clip' icon in the top right area of this web-page.

Hello, everyone ... Thought I would finally pop in here at T2W. Usually on donnaforex. Quite nice here.
I have a slight problem with TMT ... It only places a live TP when it reaches target, not puts an order for TP ahead of time like FMT. so i am getting slippage. ... stealth is false,.. use atrtrailing, false.
AlpariUK micro.

True. But I haven't found any ATR trailing setups that are as profitable as Mark's default settings. Do you have any?
My guess too. To try to lower risk on predictable spikes, I use fixed targets on red news alert days. My other alternatives are not to trade close to news, or to get out of the market at a safe distance from the announcement.
How do you set a fixed target? Thats what I have been trying to do, so its locked into the brokers side.
PS: ... I think i will set up multiple charts on different accounts and try variations live.

I've only set a fixed second target on backtests. Not profitable enough for me to use. If I go for a fixed target, I go 100% 35. However, on volatile days, which to me means an Asian range of 40+ pips, I enter a pending order, usually between -25 and -40. Haven't been doing this long enough to recommend it to others.
