The selling out of America — Least of our worries? The loss of the US manufacturing base IS what's driving this ENTIRE financial mess that's happening in the US right now. The US economy is NOT strong like some say. The "growth" the US has ...

hurtin USD — Who was the "expert" in the news section that said the USDCAD would go under $1.00 some but "we're not talkling about it seeing .9000 anytime soon"? It's scary how hard the dollar is falling. But to be expected since US ...

MegaDave5000 is right. — Dave's right. When comsumers waited for interest rates to drop to 6.25% because they couldn't afford a home loan at 6.75%, they were gambiling with everything they had. Just as if you throw half of your capital into ...

one at a time — Your code is telling it to only open an order if there are no other orders open. "if(total<1)" << This surrounds your open routine, it can't look for another order open condition if one order is currently open. Also, your close ...

blind test — I don't know if anyone's done this but it can be kind of fun. Cover up the main price window on your computer screen so that you can only see the indicator window. Now go back several months and looking only at the indicator ...

magicnumber — You have to have a magic number in the EA. A different magic number in each EA identifies the EA as being unique. You can run the exact same EA on 2 seperate charts and if they each have a different magic number, the server will ...

Must be the broker. My IB-fx chart is doing that but a different platform is ok.

Mine has been also for the past 12 minutes or so. Something weird must be going on. You never know with this pair.

One economist said it has a lot to do with hedge funds unloading and reloading carry trades. Probably a lot of other stuff too but those hedge funds have a LOT of money to throw around.

200.36? the way it's going it'll hit that tonight.

volume and time? — I don't think volume alone is very useful but I've been looking into combining it with time to determine the speed of the market. Once that's done then combine that with some other directional indicator and you'd have ...

MA's have probably been the most coded indicators around. The reason you can't find many is that everyone has tweaked them as much as they can and it's almost impossible to get a MA system to work. Yes, the chart looks good after the lines have ...

Spread? — I think we've all had similar issues with backtesting. Backtest is awesome and forward testing is terrible. One thing I think I've found and I'd like for others to reveiw this. When I backtest from the Jan 1 2006, the EA makes ...

If you set "CloseProfitableTradesOnly" to true, it will close any trades that get into profit once they are more than "Profitable Trade amount" but leave trades that have not reached that level open. You might have had that set to true and your GU ...

It's set up to close everything that's open regardless of what currency or MagicNumber it is. If you want me to add all this into an existing EA so that it only closes trades from one EA, send a PM and I'll give my email to send the EA. It'll only ...

Also, this code can be easily inserted into any other EA so that you don't have to run 2 EA's if this is how you want to close trades. If anyone needs help with that, let me know.

Yes, put it in your expert file. If you're running another EA just open another chart and put this on there. You can shorten the variable names to anythng you want to make it work. And you can set the "ProfitTarget" to any amount you want and when ...

another — You can try this if you want. I set it up with several close options. It doesn't use MagicNumber but that could be added. 1.) You can set a dollar amount and once your float hits that amount it will close all trades. 2.) You can hit ...
