I think it will work out. When 3-3 crosses on the Day chart that is when any positions that are still open are closed either for a gain or a loss and the settings in the ea are for the new direction. Set the ea so it opens a position immediately and then look for 10 pip steps. Even if the ma's are too slow it still should be able to catch 10 pips. Now I have to see how many positions can be opened safely. Am only looking for $1 or 10 pips at a time. So two positions should be more than enough. Really 1 position is ideal. There is potential for a...

Jiva, hi!

EA nicely taking the trades on EURUSD and USDJPY.
However, so far, no trades reported on AUDJPY,NZDJPY, and AUDUSD pairs.
May be because of high spread or other reasons, I don't know.
Thanks!

Probably the spreads. I noticed that too. Sometimes it should have certainly opened but didn't.
Good luck with it.

Okay. I found an ea that trades really nicely.
It is basically the strategy I am trying to get up and running. But no need to reinvent the wheel.

Jiva, finally got a trade on AUDUSD (boy trade), though I consider it too late.

How to control the number of trades?

Looks like, just need to increase the step value right.
Thanks!

That's one way. Someone probably has coded an ea that will do that.
Check out the Digger. It does everything I've wanted...
It does what this one does and more. I'm posting it on the title page.

I'm going to be testing experts. Maybe I should move to journals. I'll keep posting here until something says I'm in the wrong forum.
Digger is successful but the overall return is very conservative. At most 16% at least as I have tested with different setting so far. That means for $1000 account $25 dollars per month or $300 per year. Better than a cd, bonds and most stocks. But forex can do a lot better than that.
The coders put a free version out as a teaser to sell their high power version. You can see what their strategy is from the teaser and if you are comfortable with it they are hoping you will buy their expert.

From what i can tell digger will automatically install itself on a live mt4 account only. What I did was install it onmy live account and then opened the data folder and manually moved it to a demo.

That isn't the download. That's a "read me" folder.
Here's the actual expert.

Jiva, I agree!

(Digger EA)Making $300 profit from $1000 is really not that bad.

Anyway, Fishing EA made positive pips currently at $8 profit on eurusd, where as it made $15 profit on audusd (the trade was taken very later on this pair).
EA lost on audjpy and nzdjpy pairs, because trades were taken very late (at Europe session), by that time trend revered on jpy pairs.
One has to be in front of the computer in order to manage the positions taken by EA.
I am taking ONLY BUY trades .
So far, I found this EA is very efficient on eurusd and usdjpy pairs.

Thanks!

Market times is significant. Late in the day means flattening out usually.

If I was allowed to hedge by the US regulations I would use fishing eas, that is part of it's appeal... But If I have to identify the trend it makes it vey difficult for me, since i still have to use some other strategy to supplement it. I am looking at Digger ea, since it enters on candle strength... so trend is not an issue with it. If someone can hedge then fishing might be for them.

Good luck.. Keep us posted.

Jiva, eurusd reached to $34 profit range,audusd still around $15 range.

Absolutely, market timing is very important.
I attached EA after 2 hours of daily open, and that time JPY was in trend.
The problem I faced was EA did not take trades on jpy pairs in time (except usdjpy)and before euro session pairs already reached daily average range, and reversed the trend.

I also live here in US (Louisiana).
Recently opened live account at Tradersway.com and they do allow hedge.
For some more time, will concentrate on fishing EA demo, later look at Digger EA.

Thank you again for the sharing.
Regards,
RSwamy

Thanks for Tradesway... There is a way they can get around the fifo and no hedge. they make arrangements on their end to record the trades differently. I'll take alook. am using Oanda for now. That would change a lot to get rid of the fifo and no hedge.
EURP|JPY trades very duiffetnely. Smaller ATR's. They all trade a little differently. EURUSD is the most popular.
Right now I'm stuck in EURUSD from a few days ago. The ea took some short positions at the bottom of the retracement.
No telling how long it's be tied up.
Ho hum...
