You will need the program pkzip that you get get off the internet - once you have installed it on your pc you can double lick on the zip file you have and save the file in either you exper advisor directory (if it is an expert advisor) or in the dorectory expert advisor/indicators if it is an indicator

Hi Paul,

How do we use this ea?
I have added it to the metatrader 4 experts folder but I have no idea how to take it from here?

Do I need to attach it to a chart?

Please, give a bit of info.

Thank you,
Wim

Hi Wiper

Put it in the experts directory and compile it then attach it to whatever charts you are trading ... when all the signals line up it will create an alert to let you know ... at that point it is up to you as to whether you take the trade or not ... right now this only Alerts you of when all the signals line up, it does not trade automatically (Later versions will but I'm still testing that part)..

Basically right now it takes away the pain of having to watch all the charts and manually checking if all the signals line up ... I'm running it on 10 charts at the moment ....

Be careful though, manually check the Alert - I only completed it yesterday so we need to check it is working correctly before assuming it is always correct - my testing so far seems to look it it is working ok ...

Best

Paul

I have compiled the ea and no errors. How can I attach it to a chart? (I have never used an EA).

Sorry for all these questions Paul.

Ok, I could attach.

When I want to run a backtest, no results show up.

No problem

on your top menu click vew and then "show navigator" - expand the tree on the lefy hand side and you will see it is the list - just click and drag the EA onto the chart

I could run some backtest but I'm not sure I'm doing ok.
Prefer someone else to do this.

Is it possible to program real time alerts (red and green arrows) when signals occur Paul?

Refer to your latest post; I can see the signal now. Thanks Paul

Best,
Wim

Have placed alert in experts folder could anyone tell me how do I compile it?
Also should the Alert that came with original system from Wicker be removed
before adding Pauls new Alert?
Many thanks

Geoffery

open meta editor (yellow button with black vertical on your tool bar) ... then file open - open signaltrendfollower the click the complie button - you will see at the bottom "no errors" then it wil appear in the navigator under the exper advisors

Thanks Paul but for some reason the alert appeared in the navigation panel
under Experts without me having to compile it first. I have placed it on
chart and get the smiley face so I guess its working ok. Do I need remove Wickers signal/arrows alert for yours to work?
Kind Regards
Geoff

Hello to all this is my first post on forexfactory. Have been enjoying all the fine imput and efforts from especially "The Wicker" and the programming efforts of PMurfin........ my comment is to PMurfin .
Was wondering if you could ad to your EA the fact that the price is beyond the slopeline. I have noticed the EA will tell you to take trades that are not on the correct side of the slope.........thats my first post .......thanks to all ....

Just had short signal on trendfollower alert but think its too late to enter now. Today was slow using this system, so i guess patience is the key.

That is a great point and would be helpful if included in the EA. Also when I attach the EA to my charts my face in the right corner is a frown and not a smiley face, why is that? Is it becasue its not set to trade automatically? Becasue the alerts are working fine.

Thanks

I am curious on what these signals are based (the red and green arrows)? Is it a crossing of particular moving averages?

Thanks
