{quote} Hello everyone, i think i have found the right setting to make this EA profitable but i need a third MA to serve as the trend filter. I can only see 2 MA settings available. Can we have a coder to make the third MA in this version please? {file}
Friends..
Can someone help me with this EA with some modifications?
->The EA should open a trade on every crossing of the fast EMA towards the direction of crossing
->The trade should stay open untill TP or SL. TP and SL should be customizable
->Every crossing should open a trade, irrespective of number of open trades. Floating Profit / Loss may not be considered.
->The EMAs should be 20 and 10, or could be customised too.

Thanks in advance.

I was able to modify the TP and SL, infact... but with every new signal, the old trade closes and new one opens. I dont want the old trade to close, when a new signal comes. The new signal should open a new trade.. even if there is an open trade available. Open trades should close on TP / SL only.
can someone help with this?

put // in line 219 and it will not close any trade apart the sl or tp set by you.

Is there a way to get the visual indicators for all the different types of Moving averages this EA supports ? I would like to be able to see them on my chart.
Some of these I have never heard of before....

Hello Traders,

I am testing 8.2 version of that EA and realized that if you set shift function to -1 (minus 1), Ea gives some results but if you set it to -2 or less it just does not work. I want to test it with shift values below -1

Does anybody know the reason and/or if it's an error in the code, is there anybody who can fix it?

Thanks.
There are no weapons that will form against my financial prosperity.

For some reason this only enters crossovers on 5 min chart no matter what time frame I'm on. How do I set the time frame? Thanks.

{quote} Here you go... I stopped demoing with this to move on to a new type of trading. But if you manage to turn it really profitable, give me a buzz. I modified the EA with the values I used so there's no .set file required. Just use "as is". Greetings from Mexico! {file}
Hi Chan,
I have been testing this EA and I am finding it very interesting, the main problem with this EA is if you set it to say 10 cross 20 ema then add the EA to the market it waits until the 10 crosses the 20 before it starts to trade, this EA would make much more profit if it could be set to start trading as soon as its placed on the chart in the correct direction, for some reason I cannot get it to do this, Is there anyone who can sort this for us all?

Geoff,
