EDIT: My intent wasn't to embarrass anyone. From my own experience I know that sometimes clearing-up one simple misconception opens up a whole new way of viewing something. And, in hindsight, I can't tell you how many times I wish I would have asked that one, "silly" question -- but instead I put fear of embarrassment higher than my desire to learn.

We're all anonymous here, so it is safe to ask away -- even if sometimes you get a rude response. The most important thing is to unravel forex and not let people fool you into treating it as a "black box".

{quote} @timidave -- I have seen these from time-to-time on different accounts (and brokers). When the EA first runs it loads the indicator which then needs to load the price data for different symbols. Those Alerts are mine to let me know that MT4 was slow in providing price data to the indicator. You'll notice that after the first pass through all the pairs then the Alerts stop. So -- I believe these are harmless warnings. However, if the Alerts continue even after the EA has been running for a few minutes then please let me know.
Yes, you're right, thanks.

Hello traders, i'm still wondering how the EA takes profit. It seems it only follows the ADR % in the EA to take it's profit, but according to the manual trading i thought it will take profit at the middle band?

It does. I run a test on M1 so there are many trades. It closes on the midline for sure. Maybe zoom in the chart and watch the the points created by the EA. You will notice the calculation is always one bar behind open bar. It firstly has to finish this. But im no expert, just my two cents. And maybe upload some screens so everbody can see what settings you use, .
Stick to the plan!

@timidave -- I'm confused by your chart. Are you running Strategy Tester in visual mode? The reason I ask is because your TMA bands are dots, instead of lines.

No, i'm not. I just installed the R4M-BDX-EA and indicators running it on a live demo account

@timidave -- sorry, my error. How should I know? I only wrote the software...

I only run the single trading EA in Strategy Tester, where the bands appear as dots instead of lines.

I agree the trade should have closed at the 'x'. However, the fact that the bands stopped drawing looks strange to me -- almost as if the EA crashed when it was about to send the Close request.

Could you send a screen shot of the error log -- under the "Expert" tab.

@Cheiser -- yes, I agree. I'm currently looking at this to better understand why the Exit wasn't made. Also, I wish you wouldn't cut-off the x-axis time stamp. I need to see the x-axis time labels in order to reproduce the chart.

@R4M Sometimes there are situations where prices cross the midline, pull back and close at a loss...any idea how/whether to avoid that?

@timidave -- do you have DLL imports enabled? If not, that could be the problem in this case.

My bad R4M, i try again with the time stamp. Thank you for looking into it. I think it also did not close on HA smoothed transition in this case?

Hello @jdva -- you are #4 on the list this evening (my time). @timidave, @Cheiser, @bishopdotun and now you have reported a problem with midline Exits. I agree something is not right. I'm looking at it now. Clearly midline Exits work sometimes or even most times, but now it appears not always. I think it has something to do with how the EA and indicator share data and how data is indexed.
