But your are not trading on candle close but current price (open candle).

no all signals are based on candles which have been closed
the current candle (which is still open) is not used by the ea

// check if price closed below SMA15 on previous candle
double ma1 = iMA(_symbol, 0, MovingAveragePeriod, 0, MovingAverageType, PRICE_CLOSE, 1);
if (iClose(_symbol, 0, 1) < ma1 )
{
   sma15Ok = true;
}

Is it possible that the EA just give a signal at the close of the trigger candle then stop? If the price retraces then crosses the 15 SMA again and the 3 indicators are still valid, EA give another single signal. Hope this helps. Thanks.
I think this request has a point.

@mrdfx @ebeckers Please correct my understanding regarding the System/EA. I see that it gives the first buy/sell signal when the 3 indicators are positive and a candle closes above/below 15 SMA. It gives continuous signal even after the trigger candle has closed (candle that crossed the 15 SMA) as long as it remains above(for buy)/below(for sell) 15 SMA as long as the 3 indicators are in agreement. This buy/sell signal continues even after a big move (as pointed out above by @slatusman). However, this continuous signal gives us late entries when...
Request seconded.

We would rather wait for another opportunity of a candle cross from below sma15 and close above it than open a trade when the move has already gone +60 pips.
Patience is key and we have 28 pairs we are looking at.

@ebeckers - Whilst we're on the topic of candles. In a previous post (read the quoted post) : https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...4#post10659874
I appear to have had an issue when a BUY trade was opened, despite the candle closed BELOW the SMA15.
I just wanted to highlight this, as I'm unsure exactly what happened here, and might be pertinent to the development/bugs.

And finally, just wanted to express my gratitude for your time and efforts working on this project!

Trades are taken inter-H4-bar.
MA15 switch looks at the close of the previous bar (shift 1)
What if previous bar closed on the right side but the current price isn't on that side anymore.

I'm just following mrdfx's strategy here ;-) Current bar is still open and in progress and we ignore it.
We only look at the closed bars

may be there is a coding technique to check if the price is x pips away from the 15 SMA and NOT open position if the price is too far away from the MA?

How can 1 have a trade opened @8:27:38 ?
Definitely not a H4 bar close time.

You are right (at least on the first part of your question).

I also am grateful for your awesome work on this system. My demo testing has shown profitable results. I just observed that when starting the EA it could be even better when trades are not opened so far away from initial signal. The trades my very well end up profitable in the end however the stress of waiting through drawdown I would rather wait till the next signal.

Again great system and awesome EA!

Start up your terminal and EA, this is a one time event even with upgrades to the EA or MT4 (trades are trades).
Look at the charts of the pairs opened by the EA and if you do not like the entry point kill them off.
This process will cost you a couple of pips but hey, it is only once (that is if you yourself do not mess around with the trades a lot).

some people seem to stop/start the EA 10x times a day ;-)
Anyway.. we will look into this.
