don't know the latest version , but iam using this one and really it's a great one ..
gives me a sound alert when all conditions are met ..
Dear eng_forex,

Thank u for ur explanation, I"ve already download the attachment
"SignalTrendFollower+SnapShot.mq4" and already have the smiling face on top..

1. But STILL gives me the alert by the wicker system... Do I need to turn off the alert by the wicker system or I need to do something else so only alert when gives valid signal..

2. Or maybe it gives me a different kind of sound for valid signals from the EA?

3. Also, under option Live Trading, I click on allow live trading box, Do I also need to click on Ask Manual Conformation box?

Thank u so much for ur help...

hello dear...
1- 2- u should turn off the alert by the wicker system u don't need for it coz it gives alert when ema 4 and ema 8 cross... as the picture i sent u can disable this alert,, all u need is the alert of EA coz it gives alert when conditions met ..
3 -we just use this EA to give alerts and it does not do trades, i think u did it and wait for the signals alert.

Dear eng_forex,

I think I have the right set up for the EA and also already turn the SoundON to False (from the wicker system). My troubles are:

1. Sometimes the alert from the wicker system is STILL giving me the alert?
2. Also sometimes the alert from the EA is giving me a late alert, about 2 bars late from the valid signals?

Do you have the same problem? or anybody also has the same problem?

Thank u....

First I want to say thanks to Wicker for introducing this nice simple system.

Quoting aediaz1
Someone taking this signal ? Attachment
No aediaz1, it was not a valid signal for a short trade because Guppy was still in long mode (blue above green above red)) and additionally Guppy EMAs were tending sideways -> higher possibility of a ranging market after the big move.

I love this system but I don't like watching the screen for hours on end waiting for a signal so I tried to get round this by using Paul Murfin's EA to indirectly send a text message to my mobile whenever a signal occurs. This is fine as far as it goes but invariably the alert comes too late or does not give me enough time to make a cool judgment.

Before Christmas I was thinking wouldn't it be nice if I could get the alert earlier so I'd have time to decide whether to take the signal where to place the stop, TP and how many units I need.

Well cutting a long story short I pretty much massacred Pauls's EA as I don't have any experience of programming MQL4 but after a lot of trial and error I got something that seems to work, at least good enough for me.

I didn't have time to try it out before Christmas but have been using it to good effect this week and so thought maybe others might like to try it. Please understand this is not an automated system, it simply alerts you when all the criteria are close to a signal so you have time to be ready if and when the signal is confirmed.

Normally you will get a yellow alert before the signal is confirmed and a red alert when all criteria are met. One big difference is this EA does not wait for the end of a bar so even after a red alert its possible to find the signal not confirmed at the end of the bar. So it's up to you whether you want to wait for the end of bar or go with what might be only a transient signal.

I have an email account setup with my mobile provider (orange) and they send me a free test message containing only the the subject every time I receive an email. I assume most mobile services off similar facilities? I know it works for tmobile for example....

i just opened charts ,, don't know if it gave alert or not,, but in this case it should give alert the bar after the signal bar ( the candle after the arrow )
-- but it's so risky to enter the trade cos the price moved about 40 pips in the last 20 min , and the chances to go lower is so weak ...

Big thanks to everyone contribution to this system and for sharing the system.
I have downloaded the EA version "SignalTrendFollower_3e" but have a couple of questions and would appreciate if anybody helps,
- I tried the EA on the 5M chart of EURUSD but it has made to 2 loss trades:surprised, I am wondering if I am using the right chart or do I need to use 30M chart?
_ Do I need to change anything about the EA settings?, I personally didn't
