Pop,

Malaysia huh? Heard the scuba diving is amazing there. Maybe if we make it with this system, we can all meet for a vacation aboard your yacht.

I have attached the EA that was modified. BUT, there is one slight modification that I think works well. The EA now buys at the opening of the next candle, getting into the trade at what appears to be right after the close of the candle where the 18 EMA crosses the 45.

No worries, try it out, and thank Buk one more time for posting it so I could modify.

Run it live, and run it wide open.

Prosperous trading everyone.
scuba..
you bet bro..its fantastico here..especially TIOMAN island!

thanks for the EA..
but seems u already mentioned about orion version..i'll put his on trial..

thanks

Orion,

Thanks for joining the thread! I have seen your name around here quite a bit, and your comments are greatly appreciated. I haven't looked at your attached EA yet (I have a real job too unfortunately), but I will get to it soon.

For those of you that have trades opening at the wrong time, I'm sorry, and this just proves we need to test the EA more. I suggest all of you try the new EA just posted by Orion and change the MAs to your preference.

Orion: Do you think you could give us an update on the 8/34 EMA cross system to see how it has been comparing to the 18/45 this thread started with? Thanks in advance, and thanks again for adding to the discussion.

Cheers everyone.
Actually, what I attached was an indicator to alert one to the ema crossing initially. After the initial order, I would assume the EA would manage all further trades for that pair.

The EA, however, does not seem to be working correctly. I received a BUY signal for CHFJPY 3 bars ago (1H) but it has left the original SELL order open and has not opened the BUY. If we can get these problems corrected, I think we may have something here.

As far as the GJ trade goes, the trade opened by the original 18/45 setting is now in profit. I did change the EA properties to 8/34 but that has not triggered yet.

Nice work here. This is probably not the best time to test an EA due to the holidays but if some sharp programmer can fix the EA, we may have something worth testing going into the new year.

Happy holidays!

If that sharp programmer exists, he may want to add stop losses and take profits, maybe trailing stops too.

I tried to do it, but I think it more than a matter of adding inputs... am I right?

Actually, I just found an EA that does all that and more. I haven't tested it yet at all but, if it does what it claims, it will solve all our problems in automating this strategy.

I am not sure if I am allowed to post a link to another forum but here goes:

If the link is not allowed, I will post the EA here but I would prefer everyone read at least the first post as it explains the EA pretty well.

Cheers.

I am still reading through the thread but it appears an attempt has been made to filter out bad trades in choppy markets...maybe with RSI. I will post what I find out.

One thing I did notice is that it is not intended to be used 'out of the box'. There are a lot of parameters to set as it is not optimized in its default settings.

An interesting concept is the use of a third MA as a trend indicator. One can use a MA setting higher than 45 and tell the EA to only trade in that direction. Looks pretty cool

You da man! Thanks for posting this. Can't wait to try it out in the new year. I really should not have tried to squueze in trading within the last couple weeks of December. The holidays really screw with the trades. Yet again, another lesson learned.

Yeah...I use this time to try new stuff in demo.

I also like to take elements of systems I like to build my own. For example, using BB Squeeze with Imran's system and using Laguerre with Supernova.

Wow it even looks like it uses Pivot Filters too. This might be good for determining safe exits and stops...

That is pretty funny because I am doing the same thing, from the same systems. Supernova, Imran's and SnapCracklePip... I've seen you post in those threads. I think that if for the most part there is confluence among these systems, then it is a safe trade. I am still unsure about exits... what have you found?

Also unsure about the exits....entries are easy, exits are the tough ones!

Fellow traders,

Here's to topping the market in 2008, and to a fruitful collaboration from everyone.

I've been backtesting with this EA and really like all of the settings. It has everything that is required and more for this system.

Slade, what do you think bro?

I think I'm hungover.


That means I'll check it out sometime soon when I have a clear head. I'm going to trust you for now Tourder, but I will give it a go here in a little while.
