About the Ea...
I've been on hiatus for a bit, mulling over the feedback and recent posts of the thread...
so far I've got the program to recognize and draw the lines where the macd, stoch, and lag indicators crossover and give signals...mostly
I say mostly because when calculating the current bar in the mix sometimes a line will appear prematurely because price action will call the line and then retrace within the current bar, for the most part though I'm content with how it's working as is.
Presently I'm not allowing the EA to make any trades, I'm using it as a scanning indicator which I run on several pairs and then can see at a glance if any of them are setting up.
I have one other helper Ea that I'm running in the 4 hour chart which basically only sets the take profit and stop loss relative to the order open price. This allows me to not take time to click in all those little drop down menues when placing an order. I can just call the order window and select lots and buy or sell and I know that the first tick thru the platform will set the take profit and stop loss for me as I have preset it. 15 pip stop and 30 take profit.
I call this semi-automated trading where i'm just using the ea to do some functions for me but not all of them and I'm keeping some decisions in my own hands manually.
Until I learn the more discretionary parts of this system that's how I will do it.
Got some kind of conflicting signals here across the three lower time frames, anyone care to comment on this today? I"m thinkin this is going short?
My compliments to pipskateer on that program heads up display putting all the charts on that one time frame. Care to post the code for that?
