I've been getting requests for a lot of MA crossover EAs, so I figured I'd post one here.

To all the other programmers out there, if you have any generic EAs to offer, I would most appreciate you putting them here.

Here is another EA by request. It closes all trades by symbol if the heiken ashi is opposite the trade.

2 quick questions - what does the smoothed heiken Ashi do? and how are the trades entered for the closed portion? for example can you enter trades manually and then this code will handle the closing of the trade?

thanks in advance.

smoothed heiken ashi is simply another indicator. Based off of Heiken Ashi. Google it if you need a better explanation. It's kinda hard for me to explain.

And this closes all trades with the same symbol as the chart the EA is attached to.

Many thanks RR. I'll start testing it right away and let you know how it works!

Ronald I know what heiken Ashi is and use it from time to time exclusively for exiting short term trades. I was wondering if the "smoothed" portion meant that it had been altered from the standard formulae.

Also, I noticed that you also created an EA for Ptournis's eur/usd scalping method - have you played with using heiken Ashi to exit a that system?

Thanks in advance

Instead of using price, the smoothed heiken ashi uses moving averages. That's really the only difference. If you want to convert to the regular heiken ashi, just set the method and period to 0 and 1 respectively.

Hey, I really enjoy your passion for programming metalanguage Ronald! Keep it up.
I was wondering if you could do same heikenashi indicator to enter when blue, close open trade + enter when red ?

There should be one out already. I think it's in the 'Traffic Lights" thread

Look at the price, not at the heiken ashi bars. I'd say you'd be capturing 1/4th of the move each direction if you traded straight heiken ashi rules.

this depends of the TF and and the exit strategy.....btw what is bad about getting safe 50-100 pips out of a 200 price move??
Ofcourse, its not a sophisticated strategy, but pretty successful, especially when traded only in the European and overlaping NY session

Hi Ronald
I think you are the special one, keep up the good work. I was playing around with the fxprime ea you made on the original thread, trying to optimise its settings. Somehow I got to higher time frames and found that CCI 8 and CC1 24, HAS settings 1132 was very profitable on the hourly chart. (Did not use the RSI). However during the month of Oct 08 it did not do as well as other months because of choppiness. I discovered that it needed a filter and based on my knowledge from my other systems, The ADX on MT4 would provide a good filter, if the ea is to trade when adx is above 25. I was wondering if you could progamme the fx prime ea with the above parameters ignoring the RSI and inserting the ADX. I used a fixed TP of 200 and SL of 100 with a trailing stop of 100. Thanks expect to hear from you

Because how often does a pattern like that occur? Not very. You have shown the perfect scenario. (As I see it). Let's tighten the range, and you'll see that Heiken Ashi lags considerably. If you can get a way to make sure that type of system doesn't get whipsawed in sideways markets, I'll put up an EA.

Have you thoroughly tested the ADX? or did you put it on a chart and it "looked good"? I ask because it is my experience that most requests I get for EAs are from people who want to use the EA to test profitability. I try to avoid that as much as I can because in almost every case (except for maybe 2) the quality of data they backtest with is garbage.

Hi Ronald

I trade with the ADX on my trading system on my live account, with a CCI8 as trigger AND CCI32 as trend, stoch and Pivot Points on the 15 min chart, basically Eur Jpy. Winning Ratio has been 66.7%. Could have been higher but human factor(trying to preempt the system) come to play. The ADX (10) has been my saving grace by acting as a filter even when I have an entry signal on the CCI. So I figured it would filter out the trades on the EA using the 1 hour setting on my previous post. I do not get your flow on the profitability issue, whatdo you mean?

I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that this ea works perfectly! I like the way both the indi and the ea are fully adjustable, as I use different settings for different sessions. It's also nice that I can tighten my stops in mid-trade if I think it is warranted. I love it, many thanks!!
