Are you running an EA or just manual by the Rules on post #1?
What currencies and TF?
Manual trading with rules from post 1 bollinger bands and trendlines. Also using a sw to identify trends. Trade on the 1 min chart with trends on 5 and 15. Exit trades at arround 15 pips.

Read also my other posts. I took out heiken ashi from the chart because was misleading for me. I am using the wahnone template without Heiken and with bollinger bands and on black.

Wooooo
Is this supposed to actually generate and execute a trade, like a trading robot?

I can't get the QQE to pop up alerts or arrows either on Vista.
Do you have the QQE Alert v3?

I took the (1) out of the QQE file name and now it works.

I had a very good week trading demos.

Happy Trading,

Yes, I do have the v3.
Will give it a try, thanks.


Perhaps this is not the same version.
Maybe, I need to take the (3) out of the file name.

Nope..Taking the 3 out did nothing.
Where in the file name was the (1) ?
Maybe I just need to try to get another version.

Right now, this is what I have in the indicator directory.
Still doesn't work though.

Thanks for the help though.

CWAVE.

Could you possibly post all your QQ alert and exe files?

Thanks in advance.

Wahnone's simple Strategy seems to work extremely well on the USD/JPY 30 min time frame.
Even without the QQ alerts working. Haaa

Greatly appreciate the files, many thanks.

I installed and overwrote all the previous files and loaded the template.
However, I still do not see any arrors or pop up buy or sell messages.

Maybe I am just doing something wrong and need to load them somehow but, I can;t for the life of me work out how.

This is the Screen shot of the setup just in case anyone can spot what I am doing wrong here.

Thanks in advance

Delete QQE alert v3. Also, you are missing the EA.
I added another template and in the end it should look like this.

Many thanks for posting these files again.

I installed all the files, deleted the QQ3 file, opened a new chart and loaded the template as you can see in this screen shot.
It still does not have the pop up indicators for some reason and when I try to click on the SSS_EA_beta2 indicator, nothing happens.
Sorry for all this trouble.

Check in you Experts and Journal log to see if there are any error messages.

Wonder what could be wrong with the QQE alert file?

I just downloaded all the files and reinstalled them into the INDICATOR library in MT4 and put the template in the template directory.
Now, I get a window popping up when I load the template, which I was not getting before but the errors are still there.

I think that has done the trick.
Greatly appreciated and many thanks to all.

Now, I just have to learn to use it wisely.


I have just noticed that theEA is actual trying to trade on this demo I am using.
Will this program actually trade automatically if setup correctly?
I noticed that it is telling that there is not enough money in the demo acout to open an order even though there is around $2,000 in it.
Do I need to set up the EA with smaller amounts or something?

Sorry for more questions.

I think I have got the EA working in auto trading mode.
Had to edit the EA to reduce the size of the lots it was trying to buy because of the margin in the account.

Just taking it for a spin in this demo.

Once again, I can not thank everyone enough for extending their kind assistance to a newbie who is still bewildered by MT4 and indeed trading itself.

Youre welcome. But I would reccommend to read some of the posts here. The EA can trade by itself but I found that the results are less good than trading the system manually.
Wahnone created a very good system but in my opinion does not work by itself. So education is the key. Use the system with suport and ressistance lines and determine patterns like triangle, wdge, channel, etc to se that you are trading in the trend and not against. Even so the market can trade against you. To give you an example, today a 60 pips spike triggered my stop loss though I was trading in the trend. See picture. So trade wisely, with money management! Happy trading.

Thanks for the info.
I am just testing out the Autotrade function in MT4 as I am very new to this platform. I intend to trade manually, perhaps based loosely on an EA but mainly with fibs and my feet in a bucket of iced water.

EA open hour setting?

Does anyone know if this setting is country specific?
I mean, I am here in Japan with a large time difference to most countries.
Some of the Open hour settings in the EA were set to 7 and some to 0, so I am a little uncertain as to how to set these up.

These are referring to the Metatrader hours. Look at the bar in the left side - Market watch. That is the hour the EA will take. Determine your best hours.

Hmm, after careful deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that I can not make head nor tail of the meaning of the "Open Hour" even after examining the market watch chart. Actually, I am more confused as my market watch time says 08:33 when actually here in Japan it is 17:33.

I am trading USD/JPY GBP/JPY & EUR/JPY so do I have to set a different "Open Hour" for each, or just the time of day I want MT4 to start trading from? I have it set to trade 24 hours so perhaps this is why I can not get a handle on the meaning of it.
