DislikedHi, TCO, Q1) Do I have to apply the template or is it ok if I just placed all the TCO templates, indicators into respective folders and the EA will trade as usual? Unfortunately my vps cpu=1gb and with 5 MT4 running in parallel, its going like an old guy climbing a hill. (instructions said: Apply template, attach ea etc) Q2) Ok, this is totally silly, but I assume if I select ema method, then it will behave like 20-50ema, except that I got add'l stuff like ATR for sl/tp which I can used and Profit % to close all open trades. Similarly, if I select...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Good to see FF back. Didn't realize how addicted I had become. I'll see if I can answer these. TCO can correct me if I err. 1) The EA does not rely on the template for its operation.

Disliked{quote} The magicnumber option is already included in version 3. Unfortunately, the default at this moment is 0. That means, at this moment, without further notice, all orders with magicnumber 0 will be closed. Orders produced from your direct manual trading also have the magicnumber 0. So, these will be closed as well. What you must do is : change the magicnumber to some number unequal to zero (for example 763659) and recompile the source file. Then you are set. Otherwhise, you must take extra care everytime at startup and change this number manually....Ignored

DislikedHi Excellent thread TCO! Although a forex junkie for many years, this is my first post at FF. I have been looking at the 20/50 EMA method and can see huge potential in the simple format of trading with the trend and entering on pullbacks (which is what the method is attempting). However I wonder if the main problem with the system is inevitable huge drawdown when the tide is turning...? In other words the winners look after themselves, but when you are fighting the tide, using Williams % confirmation you can load your cart with lots of bad apples...Ignored
