It just fired off a buy order on GC in a demo account. May not be the ideal time to jump into this pair but it is only a test. Ideally, it would use the DiNapoli stoch like mikep put in his indicator.

i just noticed something
the signal is a bar old on the day chart
that means 2 bars back
if you set tick mode to true, its fixed

I believe the times affect when an alert pop-up/sound is generated along with the email. The arrows show up regardless of the time. The beginhour and endhour are there to align you with harolds reco trading time of 6GMT to 18GMT, I think 7 and 19 are what you want.
Yes the signal is generated when all the indicators are aligned based on the manual setting of the DailyDirection value. Again, it seems that the arrow will appear as soon as the last one agrees but the pop-up alert/email only happen on the hour. I think the arrow dissapears on the hour if the conditions are no longer met. Not 100% sure.

Hey everybody,

I want to thank everyone that has contributed to this thread especially Harold4x. This strategy seems to be working great for everybody. I have a question about the indicator made by Mike. Do we have to make any changes in the input values in the beginhour and endhour based. It I am in est time zone but my broker is 6 hours ahead of my time zone ex. 12:00pm here 6:00 pm there. I was also wondering if the signal is generated because all the criteria such as stoch, rsi and ema have been met. Thank you so very much and God Bless.

Hi Bunjow,

What's the blue dashed line on the chart from your tpl?
Ya, sorry about that.

I corrected the template file as soon as I realised that was there.
When I do my prep work at the daily candle close, I mark off the new daily candle with a vertical line - blue for long signals today and red for short signals.

I watch as many pairs as possible when trading. The line I put on the daily candle will show up on the first hourly candle of the new day. This way I never have to leave the 1 hr timeframe to double check what the daily direction for a particular pair is.

(and any pair that has no daily direction gets removed for less clutter)

Hey Martyman,

What are your exit settings for the EA? Just curious I am trying to figure out if I should use one of the indicators to exit or use tp or sl.

right now the ea will reopen if you leave it on
the problem with this system is the indicators
they all get to a point that they weave together
this is fine for manual trading but a robot
dont have eyes
the system needs a indicator that doesnt do this
i have a qqe that looks on open price
i made a version that qqe replaces stochastics
im getting much better results in the tester
iv optimised it already
heres a graph, its only 54% quality
but i tested since january
i only have 2 months of m1 data
if i test 2 months its 90% qualty
since qqe is to the open the live results will be very simular
maybe even better
i found also that reversing the ma's on the h1 chart gives better entry
you enter on a pullback

not very many trades
with qqe i was able to set all bars to current
im using the 50 line on qqe for exit

since theres not many trades im thinking a change in tf
maybe m15 and h4
and since this is changing the system i guess il need to rename the ea
and post it in my thread?

i can still work on the previouse ea
but its looking grim with the indicators used
far as exit anyway

the previouse ea may be good as a tool to go with your manual trading
to catch entries youd normally miss, due to sleep ect...ect...

you can tweak qqea so that it gives almost same signals as stoch
but without the lines bumping each other so much

Hey TC,

To stop it from opening so many trades couldn't you set it to only open trades from 6GMT to 18GMT.

Hey, hello. I have only put in the SL and TP and verified that the EA enters the order correctly with those values. I need to do a few trades with the indicator exits enabled to see how that works. Per harold4X rule:

Quoting harold4x
if you are in a trade and one of the indicators when the candle closes crosses in opposite direction close trade immediatley
So, he would wait for the current hour to finish befoe making a decision to end the trade.

Thanks for the method guys, I trade multi timeframe trends but on a smaller scale. I like this method as it reduces some of my screen time.

I took the liberty of turning trendchaser's EA into an indicator that may or may not be useful to you all. It prints the status of all of the pairs daily and hourly trends onto the chart irregardless of what pair's chart you have it on.


It prints out the six pairs I think everyone is trading using this method, you can add more by modding lines 68 and 70 of the mq4 file.
