{quote} The max number of bars after the cross is not coded yet. In fact, most/all of the "Trading Tips" as advised by RobinHood on post1 are not implemented yet. So basically if all indicators are enabled, after hma/ema cross, all other indicators should match that cross direction to take a trade. There are too many indicators and many rules and tips which I couldn't put all in one take.
A quick note about the crossover entry point.

"2. The candles must have just changed from Dodger Blue/Blue to Red/Maroon for short trades or from Red/Maroon to Dodger Blue/Blue for long trades."!

This is quite open to interpretation I think. Personally my observations, backtesting, and forward testing, make me feel that trades can only be entered no later than the 3rd candle after the crossover. If it takes any longer than two candles for the other indis to 'catch up' and trigger a trade the chance of it reversing or going sideways get much higher, and the potential return gets too low.

Abokwaik The Great,
Thank you.
Plan to run it this week on several pairs.
I want to work on getting the trailing stop loss to work better.
Should be interesting.
Thanks again

{quote} Taking trades "Only" after the crossing is not coded in the EA. So for now, whenever Stoch is below the signal line, and slope on (n) previous candles is down, and not trades are currently open, the EA will open a new short trade. In next update, I will but an Input Parameter, where you can limit entries to "Cross only".
By the looks of it you sure have a lot on your plate, man.
So I don't want to breathe down your neck.
But I'm looking forward to the update - with only one trade opened after crossing - so I can start backtesting the strategy.
Thanks

I am curious why the 5pip SL will not get hit before the TP every time? This system has no opinion about the trend and it has pending orders both long and short so why does it even need SL?

This falls under Grid systems, which as I mentioned before, do not have any real edge over the market, specially when they are played solely.

Grid/Martingale systems have a chance when:

  1. you have deep pockets (Big Balance - at least 10K trading 0.01 lots on 1 pair),
  2. and you can stand long periods of high draw down,
  3. and you can accept small return over investment (ROI). Usually interest rates do better than "safe" grid/martingale systems.

This is the message I got in the journal tab after attempting to optimize some settings (running overnight) using the genetic algo of the TANDEM EA. 2019.08.25 01:38:11.739 There were 293 passes done during optimization, 295 results have been discarded as insignificant How can you discard more passes than were done? Also -reaalllly MT4? 293 optimizations had no significance?? Another argument in favor of live testing.

{quote} Sure. I'll check the repainting issue to see if it affects the system.


hi abokwaik thanks,and i have attached the screenshot

rules are as follows,
buy: when u get an aqua arrow followed by the ss indi crossing 5ema and also checking the currency strength
sell :when u get an orange arrow the ss indi crossing 5ema and also checking the currency strength

the problem here is ma and also ss both repaints as it may cross first then again back to the old point when candle close so i usually wait till the candle close and only open it on next candle.let me know if possible will post the mq4 and tpl.

How about trying Hurst channels together with higher timeframe moving averages. That's basically what's used in HGI from Stevehopwood forex forum but they used TMA channels. It would be nice to shed some light on that.

Take it easy my friend.

I coded 5 requests, multiple versions, since the thread started on August 11th.
This, in addition to replies, discussions, PMs related to the thread.

These things consume time. I am doing my best while trying not to affect my ordinary activities.

I looked at your indicator. It is repainting, which will make it not suitable for an Expert Advisor.
See attached image, (yellow squares are examples of Repainting issue).

Here's what I've learnt. ok, so firstly, all of the papers I found through Google search and Google scholar.
