Sorry everyone for being away from the thread ... been super busy! It seems like 1.3 is doing the best, but we should test more with pivot = true, and pivot = false. At the end of the month I'd like for everyone to post an entire month's details of trades. I will do a summary and pivot tables (please save in excel if you could, otherwise txt file or html is fine), and we can see which version is best and which pairs the EA works best on. After that, I will work on a version 2.0 to correct any issues (like the SL), and see if we can improve trade logic.

How can you test something if it doesn't work? I am the first to hand you a report on the work of EA:

I am running this on NZDUSD USDCAD USDCHF USDJPY and it does open positions. Just not on a daily basis.
My report will come in at the end of the month. Keep up the good work

Hi EZ,
I know a number of people have asked about what settings we should be using.
Can you confirm that the following settings are correct for each of the EAs?

Thanks!

1.0
All default, except:
Use SL TP: True

1.1 True and 1.1 False
All default, except:
Use SL TP: False
TS set to: 5
WeeklyPivotFilter: False (for 1.1 False) and True(for 1.1 True)

1.2 and 1.3
All default, except:
Use SL TP: False
TS set to: 10

Today positions bro. (See images)
After opening a position today, the Ea get blocked (can't compute pivots), so I have to reopen mt4 again. Can we fix this problem urgently Ez. It will affect the EA results and makes them less accurate. Thnx again Ez.

I know this is for EZ to answer, but honestly. Get your head out of your ass and in the game.
These tests have been running for past three weeks, with 5 different versions of the EA, over 28 pairs!

Remove the EA from the chart and reattach and it should work. It won't trade above the weekly R2 or below the S2 as statistics which I have indicate a weekly close beyond that level isn't likely.

I've been quite busy with work, so probably won't work on a new version at least till the end of the month. I also first want to see the results people had after a month of testing.

Except that I've mentioned few post before that 1.2 and 1.3 is somewhat the definitive version (for now) of 1.0 and 1.1 and ask EZ if we should test 1.3 with pivot true/false and he himself said yes (in the post you quoted), so..

The EA wants to be sure of an uptrend, so checks many things. One of them is (EMA4hr4 > prev4hrEMA4). In the screenshot, the EMA 4 is falling, so no trade.

If the 'system' is wanting the drop (or rise) back to the 30, wouldn't the 4 be declining (rising) anyway? As long as the 4 > 15> 30 (or 4 < 15 < 30) - not the angle of 4... I thought it was that after the trade is in, to watch if the 4 continues and crosses the 15?

It hit the weekly R2, so the EA exits and shuts down. Statistically the price will not go much beyond or close beyond the weekly R2, but in this case it did.

In the next version, I'll make an option to disable that.

Regards,
EZ

Great results! For v1.3, did you just run with the default settings?

extern bool weeklyPivotFilter = true;
extern bool EnableTrading = true;
extern bool wantLongs = true;
extern bool wantShorts = true;
extern bool AutoPipsFromEMA = true;
extern int pipsFromEMA = 20;
extern int pipsToTrailSL = 5;
extern int EMAdistance = 5;
