The strategy is good but the code has limitations in all places

So I plugged the idea into an existing professional EA and the result is this free Expert called 'NightOwl' that you can download 這裡

The SpreadReporter 102 is still available from 這裡

Thank you for excellent comment.

To check this you might want to run something to monitor the actual variations...

Download this free but non-trading EA (SpreadReporter_101) 從 這裡
Prints Min Max Average Spreads to the Journal and/or file (located in the experts\files folder)
Outputs once per bar, use on H1 chart (或更少) on any pair
Drag EA to the chart before or during market hours
Set Hours of operation if required
Select output options if required

Dear Brian,

This Ea is a spread sensitive and good result is possible when spread is <= 2 點數. FXDD usually does not increase the spread in the "quiet hours" on the EURUSD.

This is very spread sensitive, so as most brokers these days increase their spread quite dramatically in 'the quiet hours', this isnt a winner

Keep in mind a backtest uses the spread thats live at that moment 在市場上

Try a test around 12:00 GMT and retest the same historical data around 24:00 GMT and see the difference 🙁

Use the Symbol Properties button to see the actual spread used for the whole of the test (backtesting uses this fixed spread throughout)

FWIW

TakeProfit = 80;

this is TP 80 pips on 4 digits broker and TP 8 pips on 5 digits broker, which would give you error 130 resulting in not opening any trades. i havent tried your ea yet, but i think this should be the source of the problem descripbed in the first comment
