That is just some debugging code - but "SELL" indicates to me that it should have tried to place a sell.

Anyone else running the EA and it not opening trades (hasn't opend any for a while today).
i found your EA after work, i will place it tomorrow

I have never used and EA before. I have attached it to my chart with the settings supplied here in the thread. How do I know if it is on. It is showing and x and not the smiley face I see in the charts posted. Thanks

Smiley face would indicate it is on.

1) At the top of your Metatrader there is a button that says "Expert Advisors", it should be GREEN and sunken

2) click on the X of the EA in the upper right corner of your chart and on the first tab "Common", down at the bottom "Live Trading" should be checked.

Does the current EA version follow your 13SMA rule?

Other than using the EA, do you have any re-entry rules or would you wait for another signal whereby the entry rules are met?

The only re-entry at this time for the EA would be retracement from either brown line (+89 & -89 SMA) back to the 89SMA.

For manual trading, if you get stopped out (say 35pip trailing stop) once the candles have started gravitating back to the 89SMA you could possibly go back in.

DO NOT REENTER if it is close to danger zone (right now set to 18pips above and below the 89SMA). There tends to be a lot of whipsawing arround the 89SMA.

Hi Neal, Using your presets I have the EA set on a 1h UJ chart on my demo account and its been on for last 10 hours with no trades.

Any ideas what could be the reason?

Is it because it will place a trade only between 8 and 15 GMT ?

Below are the entries from experts tab.

Thanks once again

Correct - Default settings is 8:00-15:00 GMT You may have put it on after 15:00 GMT therefore it's not looking for anything.

1hr or 15m? I thought it's suppose to be on the 15 minute chart.

The EA is hard wired for a 15 minute - doesn't matter what timeframe the chart it is on. (of course the signals won't visually match if different than a 15m chart)

The EA is in development... You cannot expect it to be perfect from the start

edit : EA lost 90$ but has 200$ in floating gain. Weird thing is that it has a +96 pips gain on GBPCHF but the SL and TP has been removed after some time ? Is it how it is supposed to work ? (note : the TP set originaly would have been hit by now )

You have had my same problems.......but at least your ea is opening different positions with different pairs....
ps. my ea dasn't update for the triling stop

ps.what i can see now is that ea makes one trade per time in the same platform

Yes - it's in developmental stage.But, it looks like it should have.TRADE ENTRY: (Close of current candle >= EMA89+Sensitivity) && (Close of previous candle >= EMA89+Sensitivity*Point) && (Open 2nd previous candle < EMA89+Sensitivity*Point) = ENTER BUY

Entry into a trade is fairly straight forward.MAINTAINING and EXITING a trade on the other hand gets a little complicated sometimes.A SL should be in place almost all of the time (can't think of an exception at the moment).The TP is removed when a candle overflows the river banks (+89/-89) to allow it to shift into TrailingStop mode (we don't care how far it goes in the positive direction). The SL is moved on a tight 15pip threshold so we can drain all the pips possible out of the trade when it reverses.

The EA will make only 1 trade per "MagicNumber". If you have the EA on several charts, check to see that the MagicNumber is different on each. That's how the EA knows which trades belong to it.

Unfortunately i think there is something wrong in the code as ATM i have this trade with no stop nor take profit ?

Also, i see in my log one trade that went up to +40 but closed à -35
Some orders SL has been moved once but until now no trade has closed in profit...

Edit : Another trade (eurusd) closed à -9 after going to +45... The EA needs some work on the exit strategy but i think i has a lot of potential...
