Quoting cncsm
I just joined ff yesterday and really can't say enough about all the good info and sharing that is going on here. It is great. Thank you to those who share their system, and those who program ea's. My pouria 2 just bought eurchf and there was no crossover of the ma's. Did anyone else have this happen? Also if someone will tell me how I will post the screen. I will be glad to do so. I only need to ask once.
cncsm,

The same happened to me. MikhaildGreat will need to tell us if something is up with the EA or if we just aren't seeing something.

To attach a pic of your screen, just hit print screen, go to your paint program, do Control V (for paste) then save that as a jpeg...when You are typing here, just click the paperclip above, and then you can post your pic.

Hopefully that answers your question. Hopefully MikhaildGreat is still around!!


cya,

Mikhaildgreat,

USDJPY just opened up a buy, even though the 5ma did not cross with the 75/85....please let me know what you think is happening there.

I don't know if someone asked this but can you implement in the EA to take partial profits at one point and let the rest of the trade run? I think that is the most profitable way to trade this system.

Pouria beta 2 triggered an order to buy on CAD/USD and never got a complete cross...the trade is about to be stopped out... I know others are experimenting this situation in other pairs...I think we need to check this issue.
Thanks

I just got filled on the usdcad without a cross the EA is filling all kinds of orders and I have it set up according to Pouria specs for all the pairs mentioned. I would post the screen shot but when I attempt to paste into paint it tells me I don't have enough memory?

Mikhail,

This is interesting. The ea entered a NZDUSD trade. But it seemed to enter it really late. Attached is a picture of that.

Please let me know why or what you think happened.

BP
EA waited for the MACD to be above zero before entering the trade. This is in line with the rules...

Regards,
Mikhail

I see EA fills orders that it is not supposed to, I was afraid this could happen because of my encoding which might generate these false signals... Anyways will post a fixed version later.

But for everyone testing this EA pls refer to the first post to understand how EA really trades. EA will trade if 1) MA cross over and MACD is in the same direction OR 2) MACD crosses zero line and MA points to the same direction.

But the USDCAD was definitely a false trade, probably caused by how the variables are stored in the code... Anyways I will fix this.

Thank you for testing and for your patience,
Mikhail

Firstly, great work on this EA, I have been testing it now for a couple of days. I noticed one thing today however, maybe its a problem, maybe I have done something wrong.

However since the EA trades the live cross of both the MA cross and the MACD cross, we had a valid entry today on the M30 GBPUSD at 10:30. Because of the settings I was trying (quite a tight SL of 15 pips), I was stopped out on the same bar.

Suprisingly though the EA entered on the next bar also.

So all I can conclude is that both the crosses took place on the 10:30 bar, but because the bar closed above the low of the bar, then one or two of the crosses didn't happen at bar close, and then a new cross happened on the next bar. (I hope that makes sense).

The second trade was a success, but I wondered if we should judge entry conditions at bar close, otherwise this might happen quite regularly. We all know that as bars build the situation can change.

Also, as a suggestion, has anybody looked at using the 75/85 LWMA as your stop loss ?

Good work though !

Hello,

You will find that the cross will make a crossover then uncross again on the same bar. The only way to detect if a crossover has occurred is to wait for the bar after the cross.
The problem then is that the move is already over. Catch 22.
In short, you can not reliably use MA crossovers with an EA for an entry position.

If you want to wait for bar to close simply set ConfirmedOnEntry = true

this could be found in the external variables

Hello Once Again!

to All testers pls update the EA you are using. This version should eliminate false entry signals in the EA. When We have tested this version to be working without bugs we can add the improvements to the strategy such as MA based Stoploss and MA based Trailing Stop.

Thank you again for testing,
Mikhail

Mikhail, thanks for the latest updated EA ... now we can test this one .... sure would be great if this now made this one correct in the transactions and also Profitable. I am eagerly watching all those that are testing these. This could end up being one of those EA's I can turn lose. Thanks all!

Ok,

So here are my results for today....or specifically from Monday 8am to Today 9am, EST. This was with Pouria Beta 2, so there might be a couple bad signals, but then again, I do not know if those were profitable or not...will look into that.

17 entries and exits triggered.

Unprofitable - 7 trades (sl is 20)
Profitable - 10 trades (tp varies according to rules of Pouria)

Net result is -7 pips.

So, Day 1 = 40 pips profit.
Day 2 = -7 pips profit.

Still looking good!!

Thanks,

BP

Bandito,
are you using confirmonentry = false or true? Move to BE?...
Did you backtested?
I'm asking that because I'm trying now on GBP/JPY and I have only losses!
