MA Crossover System that works for me

I agree. This EA does something that I haven't seen before, which is to give signals when set on manual. Giving the trader control over the decisions is really good.

For sompe reason, putting the EA at work on the EUR/JPY pair gives me these blue arrows which I've never seen before, also not on other pairs. Anyone would have an explanation for this?

Those blue arrows are built into whatever App you are using to place your trade. In this case it must be the EA. I haven't seen them while using the EA either, but they are actually quite common. They are useful to mark your trade beginning and ending with a dotted line between them - you can use them to analyse the trade after it has closed. Some traders leave them in place over a period of time as data to review. I don't like the extra clutter so I delete them as soon as I can (using Ctrl-B as a shortcut).

Here's another trade, late in the day. It's kind of a perfect entry and a great response, but there is support just below that I need to think about.

EDIT: I moved my TP up to a pip or two above the support line. That was a quick 29 pips, 32 minutes from start to finish! And it leaves me with 2.9% growth on balance for the day. Very happy with that, it makes up for some of the bad days I had during the last week.

Starting EA on a pair is easy but I cannot seem to remove it. How do you do that? I remove all the elements from 'objects' and it just stays there ...
Sorry, no need to answer, found the right-click solution - select EA and 'remove'

a long at 1.64217 euraud i have now
good morning
as this pair has the last three days an adr of 154 the default stop loss of 80-100 pips might not be enough
especially with nfp today

I have started using manual trading on the EA with a signal provided and I like it a lot.


I have rejected all of these so far, and given that today is Friday and NFPs, it must be a convincing trade before I would take it: All on H4: USDCHF sitting on support, CADCHF oversold, likely to correct first, and GBPAUD overbought - open space between price and EMAs so likely to correct first. But how good to be able to review what the EA is thinking before it places any trades.

This also means we don't have to be conservative or cautious with the EA settings because we can reject them if we don't like them. For this reason I have set it to place multiple trades in one day.

eurusd-thijs, can you please clarify for me.

In the T version of the EA, have you kept this type of trigger candle? "Place a trade at the close of a candle that opens inside the fast EMA and then closes outside of it (i.e. in the direction of the trend)."

Thank you.

T_version:
Trigger time frame must have the three moving averages (small, medium ,big) aligned but slope not considered in the trigger timeframe.
The slope of moving averages of the small, medium and big timeframe most point in same direction (north or south) and must be aligned.
Trigger candle nothing changed.

Making a new version in which one can put in true or false this alignment in trigger time frame.
Also adding a not agressive option martingale

I have been exploring my "yellow arrow strategy" (I must find a better name for it!) that I first commented on last week. It is simply just the moment when all three EMAs align on that TF. Once the signal comes it is important to wait for a pullback and then find a suitable entry (which includes checking the HTF to avoid trading against the trend).

It had seemed to me that the trigger candle that I requested in the EA, where the candle opens inside the fast EMA and closes outside (on the trend side), should be an important feature, but whenever I look for an example, I am not sure about that.

Look at this case. There was the yellow arrow, then a bit later a pullback. I marked what I consider the ideal entry candle with a small yellow box. The next large green candle qualifies as a true "trigger candle" by the EA definition, and for the purposes of coding an EA, it's fine to use it. But for manual trading I think we can do better. The marked candle hasn't closed outside the 8 EMA, so I would have placed the buy stop order a few pips, maybe 5 pips) outside.

This next example is a new signal. Let's see how it develops.

The new EMA alignment signal came last night. This morning I saw that the consolidation zone (which is a kind of pullback) had extended but not broken yet, so I entered at the base of it.

emas 8-21-100 in h4 ?

Yes

With the EA I am doing an experiment. I set the trigger TF to H4, same as my trading TF. It is set on manual, so I get to control what happens, and so I also removed any time restrictions on when it can trade. SL and TP are both 80 pips. So far I have had one trade reach its target (long GBPAUD yesterday), and two both a small way into profit today (EURAUD long and EURGBP short)

This trade just reached its target. I had another trade running (GBPAUD long) that I used the OGT dashboard to identify (that's the so-called 3x3 method). It reached its target a bit earlier. That brings my growth on account to 5% for July so far.

I'm happy with the way my trading is going. I haven't decided whether the 3x3 method using the dashboard or the 3-EMA alignment signal method works better for my manual trading, but I plan to use both and see what happens.

testing version 12 martingale



eurcad in martin modus
if it is friday evening late still bad one should consider to take the loss

with 8-21-100 emas and h4 trigger
