I've given you some screen shots and the time period visually tested... were you able to replicate the error? It was Trade #1 since the odd number in the screenshot was the one that did not have an initial stop loss

I'm not getting that option to see trade comments in visual test ... Right clicked on the trade in the 'results' tab and there's no comment option; if I right click on the arrows on the chart itself, it tells me whether Trade #1 or Trade #2, but the ...

Been a bit quiet in here... unfortunately last few days have been ranging - especially eur/usd which is setting up a brilliant flag on daily. After demo trading this system over the last week, I think that it is 40% discretionary in that some trades ...

I don't get "Trade #1" or "Trade #2" in the top left hand corner if that's what you're referring to when you say that it should be in 'trade comments'? When I say 'first position' or 'second position' I'm just referring to the order that they appear ...

No I haven't disabled the Stop loss - if I did, then neither positions would close (one is closing and not the other). I should have mentioned, in the example above, the first position was closed at break even (despite hitting the initial stop loss ...

After looking at the screen shot again, its actually the 1st trade that doesn't close... attached screenshot

2nd position doesn't close if the swing high/low is hit it leaves a rather large equity loss... do you want a screenshot?
- D_Trader replied Mar 25, 2009
I think you need to add in the code that both orders are closed if the stop loss is hit (first order has not yet been closed, and price hits the swing high or low - both orders are closed)

The second order in this example is then closed based on AO crossover - but I suspect that the second order coding is fine, but the fact that the first order has been closed - the second closed ...

sma = simple moving average Please read first post in the thread to know what EA does - surely you'd think to do that first?

Ronald I tried visually testing the EA and there seems to be problems with the first order? It should only be closed if we are in profit ... DT

Thanks Bernard ... must have missed that post where you mention about the stop loss movement Didn't want to 'bog you down' with past data results but to ensure it was trading as it was. Good luck DT

Some currencies won't have data stretching 20 years back, imho you can capture most market conditions in currencies looking at a 5-8 year period... A basic backtest on this strategy doesn't seem to pull out profit ... but i'm not sure if there is a ...

Okay just reading through it again... I've only coded a handful of EA's so basing my comments of that Anyhow, over the next couple of hours I'll look through your code and discuss... will also manually demo test the strategy
