The simple stupid system

Thanks Wahnone for the system. I traded it today using the demo and made some pips in the process. I live in the US so its a shame that the good pairs does most of the moving overnight. I like the prospect of the EA and I'm really looking forward to when it is finished.

I use the 1hr, 4hr and ocasionally the 30 min. I like the longer time frame the best. Larger moves, market news doesn't effect the trend too much and you don't have to stare at the screen all day(night).

Is there a way to have a 2 hr and 8 hr chart on metatrader?

What's new in beta 2?
=====================
1. separate entry and exit signal buffers for EMA and QQE.
2. Fixed logic error in Update_Status() which didn't work when there's only one trade in play.
   (breakeven and trailing stop should work now)
 
3. Fixed minor errors in Update_Status(), should use MODE_ASK instead of MODE_BID when closing a sell position.
4. Fixed logic errors which didn't allow trailing stop when BreakevenPip was set to 0.
 
5. Fixed bug which cause opening in opposite direction when there's already a trade running.
6. Added additional comments on top left corner of chart.

There is a way to have a 2hr and an 8hr chart. Pull down the scripts from the
navigator, scroll to period converter, drag it to the screen you wish the new chart to update from and select time frame. Then you go to file, drop down to open offline, scroll down to the TF you just created, double click it and it should pull up the chart.

Now there are a few things you need checked before the new chart will update as a live chart. When it asks for the options you want on the chart, ie TF, you must check allow live trading and allow DDL imports from the inputs tab. Then go to tools from the toolbar, options, expert advisors and allow DLL imports.

I don't really use this feature all that much so i hope this gets you what you want.

I realised I should've named the first EA post as beta 1 since this is really still in the beta testing period.

so here's beta 2.

the reason I separate the signal buffers for EMA and QQE was after seeing how taravolta's EA caught a trade that my EA missed. I realised that was due to the signal buffer and my EA's persistence on checking for crossovers in both EMA and QQE.

if I'm not wrong, taravolta's EA doesn't look for crossovers in the QQE, instead, it simply checks if the solid line is above or below the dotted line. this is probably a good idea. so I've allowed this in this beta.

if you only care about above or below and not about crossover, you can set "QQE_Entry_Signal_Buffer" to 0. and now that I've separate the 2 signal buffers, you can check for crossover in one and not the other.

have fun.

regards,
Zen

On another note, for your later updates (if there are any) I notice the comment on the trade saying SSS_Buy(magic#) even though the actual trade is a sell. Just a nitpick thing for the list of non priority fixes maybe

Krux,
As with any ea I have used, the indicators do not have to be on your charts, but have to be available in the experts/indicators folder.

I am sure Zen will inform us if I am wrong, but I don't think I am.

I had just installed new versions about not too long ago and all pairs opened trades almost at the same time as well. However, signals on all were still valid it looks like. Will have to observe as next signals come if this will occur again. Im running mine with 40 pip stop loss althou to test if the EA is closing and opening positions correctly based on signals i probably should run it without SL, TS and TP, just for testing purposes. 1st version was not closing trades on oposite signal, it was just opening new trade leaving original running to hit SL. Good news is that overall even with few bugs and swapping out versions, EA is still profitable. I think Zen made a great job and i think once polished this EA should be a profitable performer.

Well, I guess I'm having issues too, mine won't even make trades. The other EA posted a few pages back as 'SS' works just fine. Really kind of odd.

I see you have QQE indicator set to "5".
can you change your QQE indicator setting to "1" like how Wahnone stated? then post the new chart.

and what time did you run the EA?
