NY Close Scalper New Forex Robot Shared For Free :

This is a mean reversion strategy around the close of the New York session. It does not use martingale or grid and uses fixed stop losses for every position.

Symbols: EURUSD, GBPUSD, EURCHF, USDCHF, USDCAD, EURAUD, EURCAD

Time frame: M5

Max. drawdown in 16 year backtest: $56 per 0.01

Because the EA will trade around the New York close time (16:00 - 18:00 New York time), the GMT time will be different in summer compared to winter (DST: daylight saving time). But the EA has daylight saving times stored internally, so there is no need to adjust the trading hours manually.

The EA should run on a VPS continuously without interruption (also Friday evening) to store the historic data. 

Please allow web requests to the following URLs for the calendar news filter and automatic GMT offset calculation:

• http://fxdata.cc
• http://backup.fxdata.cc
• http://breaking.fxdata.cc (only needed if you use the breaking news filter)

For backtest it is important to have the correct GMT settings. Ideally, backtests should be done with Tick Data Suite GMT+2 with US DST.

Because this strategy is trading around swap time the spread can be very large. It is important to use real spread in backtesting and not some fixed spread. But be aware that the spread can be very different between brokers at that time.
