GirlFlier my ea has just stopped working on my live account I think. When the ma 5,8 both cross the 28 and 18 thats when it should either buy or sell right. The gbp/usd crossed and nothing happened. The only change I made to the setup is the time frame I went from 30 min to 15 min. Thanks in advance by the way Ive already booked 61 pips yesterday on my live account but it just stop working. Valerie.....
Not sure what's up with yours, mine went ahead and made the trade..., but I run mine on the 1M charts, so maybe for the finer entry points, its necessary for the 1M.

Good job on your live account!

Another quick question GirlFlier When you use another time frame do you set the ea up for that in other words when you pu your parimeters in do you change the time period from 30 to let say 15 or 1 or 5 for what ever your using. Thank you for such an excellent ea....Thanks Valerie..

Valerie,

Generally, I leave the Time Period in the parameters to 30 no matter what chart I run it on. Although I have been testing the USD/CAD using the 15 as backtesting shows slightly better results using the 15M time frame for it.

Marci I swear just 1 more question and I will leave you alone. What I've done is made a template with the ea and the ma's that I'm using and I set all the paremeters for each individual 1 like you had recommended; that shouldn't stop it from executeing a trade should it ? Thanks again and have a wonderful weekend....Valerie....

Not that I know of Valerie...

There are several things to look for to see if there are errors. Look in the Experts tab and the Journal Tab to make sure no errors show up in there.

The other possibility is that the crossing didn't quite fit the time parameters that judge whether or not to make a trade (not your parameters... the coding parameters... what I programmed). If that was the case, it wouldn't open the trade. This happens especially if it takes too long to cross the line. I designed it that way so that slow ranging markets wouldn't trigger trades.

Hope all that helps and have a good weekend yourself!

Valerie, this is an issue I've found. Certain brokers do not round the lot size automatically I'm discovering. For instance, that would not cause an error with IBFX which is what I'm using.

I'll be updating the program over the weekend for a fix to this problem.

Hey GirlFlyer,

Read your entire thread (so easy to say when the thread is not 999 pages long!!!). Your EA sounds promising so I've loaded it in my MT4 testing platform and will join the party on Sunday. Looking forward to it!!

Did anyone get a buy signal for USDJPY on 10/5/06 at 21:25 thereabouts or at least the one at 10/6/06 at 12:30-12:45(IBFX chart time)? I'm using the settings as recommended in the comments of the program: SLV 38, TimePeriod 30, PointAdjust 0.0, TrailingStopLevel 45, and running on a mini acct starting 10/4/06 @21:35. That was a nice move to miss! 135 pips +/-
Lots of other trades...some good, some bad, some ugly but I still like it's potential. Wish I could help more!

I really can't understand how people are getting positive trades with this EA. I have had it running since the third and it's made eight trades all losers.I started with a 50,000 demo account and it now stands at a little more than 37,000. Here are the trades it has made.
10/3 at 23:36 bought EUR/USD price 1.2734 st. out 10/4 at 8:36
10/4 at 9:45 sold AUD/USD price .7426 st. out 10/5 at 7:03
10/4 at 18:43 bought EUR/USD price 1.2708 st. out 10/6 at 11:59
10/3 at 23:55 sold USD/CAD price 1.222 st. out 10/4 at 8:32
10/4 at 14:30 sold USD/JPY price 117.84 st. out 10/6 at 12:51
10/4 at 19:30 bought EUR/JPY price 149.95 st. out 10/5 at 00:16
10/5 at 11:30 sold AUD/JPY price 87.77 st. out 10/6 at 12:31
10/4 at 19:00 sold USD/CHF price 1.2492 st. out 10/5 at 12:41

AfterI downloaded the EA I dragged it onto 30 min charts. Should I have dropped it onto 1min charts? Any help is appreciated. thank you

Hi Toothman,
I hope that I'm not stepping on anybodies toes; but I beleive it is what ever prefence that you may have. Myself I prefer the 15 min charts but I think it depends on you. I hope this is of some help....Valerie....

Hi Toothman,

I'm noticing some differences between your trades and mine...

First I noticed was your USD/JPY trade on 10/4 at 14:30... mine made the exact same trade... but, took profit on 10/5 at 15:28 for a small 8 pips.

My system never took the short USD/CHF trade on 10/4 at 19:00... don't know why yet... I'm working on that one. It picked up a buy shortly thereafter which was a winning trade.

USD/CAD... Bad week on the CAD... I'm down two or 3 positions in a row on that one, too. Performance on the CAD is not that good with this EA on the 30M chart... I actually found a bit better performance by backtesting using TimePeriod = 15.

AUD/USD - All winning trades until NFP hit and it whipsawed up and down so much that the S/L triggered... but was in it the right direction if the S/L had been a few points higher.

EUR/JPY - This cross may prove to be difficult for this EA. I've had some winning trades this week, but 2 S/L's took those profits away.

EUR/USD - 1 win, 2 losses.... - Had the same trade as you listed at a loss.

GBP/USD - You didn't show anything there, so I'm assuming you didn't trade it. However, this was the best performer this week. It made 2 awesome trades with over +50 pips each...

Same with USD/CHF in my case. Still holding on to one buy position of USD/CHF with a current 110 pip gain.

USD/JPY has been profitable also. 1 loss and 2 wins

-------------

Final Comments... the Euro this week has been a really up and down ranging currency with a lot of quick fluctuations. Consequently, pairs tied to the EUR seemed to perform poorly. I think that may have to do with the ECB announcements and NFP, etc. I knew going into this EA that it would perform poorly in a ranging market, but would catch major gains on trends. GBP/USD and USD/CHF proved that this week for me. The gains on those 2 pairs alone covered the losses on most of the other situations.

Perhaps this upcoming week will see us get out ranges and start some trends and thus allowing the EA to show its strong potential.

GirlFlyer

P.S. - I'm trying to figure out if there is a difference running live with the EA in any chart setting. There have been quite a few instances where the trades have taken place exactly on the 30 minute mark of the hour if the EA is run on the 30M chart which is where I run it most of the time so I can view the trading signals it makes. Though, it is not supposed to make a difference. However, it may require running it on the M1 setting live as it does in the backtesting for the precise entry ... hmmm... test required this week. Will update you on it.
