Madscalp, Faryne, & Ezios,
Fantastic idea and excellent coding skills. Thank you for starting this tread and sharing so generously.
Read from the beginning and ready to take it for a test drive. Just download Medusa 5.1 for testing on demo acct.
Some questions:
1. What are the settings for "Strategy"? Default is 0 - what are the other possible options?
2. What switches EA from manual to auto trading?
3. Which individual currency value is the key impulse value (Strength, Delta or Ratio) to trigger the EA? Currently, USD is 6.6, 2.37, 1.56.
Thanks a million,
John

1. Strategy is a parameter for hard-coding strategy (like reversal only between some steps, etc.). Currently, only once is coded but I've not tested it yet. So you can let this parameter to 0.
2. 1st solution: "OnOff" button. 2nd: "add_new_trades"=0/1. 3rd: "OF" buttons (by pair). 4th: AutoTrading on MT4. Be aware that 1/2/3 keep the TP/SL management but Autotrading one don't.
3. EA only check the Delta value.
Hi Everyone, what your current USD delta reading?

Ezios_indy.ex4 and pwtcea reflect two different value, which 1 i should refer to?

I'm also working on the "ghost" version. Code is ok, I'm currently testing it.
Thank you very much!

Thank you Faryne for your quick reply.
MT4 has "Auto Trading" enabled and Medusa Common Tab has "Allow Live Trading".
To confirm, if dashboard shows "Waiting signal" flashing then Medusa EA is in control waiting for Delta value trigger.
Thanks again for your work.

the indicator you have to follow if you manual trade.
the ea opens automatic trades upon the conditions.
about deltaup it can vary in seconds as can vary the currency in top of the list or in botton...
so it depends the second. the code from the indicator is the same in the ea for the calculation.

Oh, I didn't see your question.
reverse_news change the direction to revert trades on news (if trade_news is 1). But I was testing on USD it might be a bug the basket was shorting.

Oh no...no mistake
I have set Trading news=true and Trending on news=false...so the EA have taken a correct USD sell.
My question is : when Trending on news=true, is the EA taking an opposite trade with the same conditions of delta ?

Working to improve news management, but yeah if no revert it is ok.

if delta>step1 and trade_news=1 and reverse_news=0 it will SELL
if delta>step1 and trade_news=1 and reverse_news=1 it will BUY
no other condition is verified for news

OK it's very clear
but traders, be sure to use this option with caution because you can take a ugly DD
the currency don't stay a long time with a delta > 5.2

This is why trailing stop is VERY important. On news, if you reach 5.2, you must be in profit (with 2 other step) and had locked it with trailing stop.

You are right. Fellows, check cautionly the settings before trading.
the last version that i did it continues to trade until the stop loss. then it wil auto remove itself from Platform and you will have to restart.

Got it, thank you so much!
Hmmm with Trending news=true and Trending on news=true....I have had a USD sell instead of a buy
please check this last option and maybe renamed "Opposite option" to avoid the confusion

Well trending is not an appropriate word. Will change.
I'll remove hurst (don't find any edge with) and add "Cost of trading" value which is the cost for opening a basket (basically spread+commission) to monitor it.
Tried Medusa this morning. It opened 2 USD baskets on positive Delta and closed with nice profit. It also opened 1 GBP basket on negative Delta in the wrong direction. All went to SL.
Does Medusa correctly open both positive Delta and negative Delta baskets at the same time?
Or, does only open in one direction?

Thanks for the terrific EA.
