Hey,

You need to attach it only to the lowest TF.
Do you see a smiley face at the upper right corner of the chart?
If you don't - make sure that you checked the "allow live trading" checkbox within the EA properties window and enabled the "Expert Advisors" button.
Hi,
Yep all that is fine.

I have attached a screenshot for you.

Thanks.

I was playing with the VQ indicator and the HMA Modified indicator along with the HA_Smoothed on the 1 hour chart. While backtesting different settings on the VQ indicator I noticed something interesting.

The VQ buy sell indicators almost always lined up when the HA indicator crossed the HMA modified. What is more interesting is that when HA crosses the HMA it is a great enter/exit signal. It is when the HA candle body crossing HMA.

Here are my settings if you are interested in looking at this phenomena:

TF 1 Hr (I find VQ not very good under 1 Hr)

VQ Settings
Timeframe 60
Length 7
Method 3
Smoothing 7
Filter 2

HMA Modified
HMA Period 48

HA Smoothed
0,1,3,2 (default)


Just thought I'd share it.

Interesting indeed.

Since it works rather like the confirmation of a breakout, purely on price volatility you would expect the volatility to confirm the direction of the trend if one is underway. Where I think VQ is good is that it can confirm the intensity and 'quality' of the price movement.

I just ran the HA_Smoothed crossing the HMA on the 4 hour and it is really nice.

Should probably mention I'm just testing it on EUR/USD for now.

Sorry 4xMaster, but I don't seem to be able to get the indicator going at all. I installed it into the C:\Program Files\MIG Trading Station\experts\indicators area but it won't load.......any ideas?

Thanks for an excellent thread here

Hi All,

HERE IT IS:

The first version of the Heiken Ashi Smoothed EA works according to Steinitz guidlines.

I'm posting it currently only as ex4 file just for the purpose of keeping an organized version control.

Please backtest it on any currency and on any time frame, and post your impressions / suggestions / questions / bugs / etc..

Good Luck !

ok, 2 questions... what would be an entry signal (just a change of colour, or maybe combined with a price cross?) and how can they be filtered (maybe something you use)?

... I don't see any use for the HAS. The HMA gets you in quicker and alerts you.

Hi,
This is not an indicator its an EA, which means it puts trades automatically according to some predfined rules.
You need to put it in your experts directory (not experts/indicators) and then attach it to a chart. You can refer to post #143 on this thread for more details.

Liquidating part of your position is a personal choice. The great thing here is once you find a consistently profitable method/indicator money mgm't just becomes ones own personal preferance.

Just experiment or backtest to see what's best for your risk style.

Quoting stav01
Just a thought - how often do profits continue once the higher TF HA candles start to have small bodies? Is it an idea to exit part of the position once this happens and leave part in for the chance of extra pips?

I would also like to stay how marvellous this indicator is. Despite attempts by me and others to find other indicators to add to this to help (or even support and resisitance), they all seem superfluous so far. Just goes to show maybe we all overcomplicate things at times.

Be careful. The HMA repaints.......

Does this repainting occur in MetaTrader because the code looks (or loops) back to do its calculations for each bar? As compared to TS that starts at the beginning of the chart (after necessary number of bars) and works its way forward?

Just trying to understand as I am comparing Tradestation and Metatrader.

Thanks!

Thanks Jokers. I saw most of your post and I would say that you are very helpful, you're a great source of information to this community. Many thanks to you and specially to steinitz for starting this wonderful thread.

Sniper shares all of his indies. this is my favorite especially on the longer frames. enjoy

add a slow stochastis 5.3.3. and when they are in alignment- you got some pips

Joker, the indicator is not working. Seems like it has dependencies with other indicators. I cannot tell which indicator it has dependencies because it is a compiled file.

Here are the rules for long entry:

1. lowest TF must be at least one blue HAS candle.

2. The next highest TF must be a (blue wick with a red body or a (blue candle) and/or price must be >= HAS candle. [You need to look at the HA,val 2,3 or 4 and HLOC prices to figure what would be representive of this].

3. Note: if we made price > price [1] bar ago we would obtain a better angle.

Here are the rules for long exit:

1. Current TF displays it's first opposite candle color AND next largest TF is an opposite color of initial trend

Here are the rules for staying in trade when current HAS candle turns opposite color.

1. Go to next higher TF and if HAS bars are the same color stay in trade.

Reverse everything above for a short entry and all rules that followed.

This should be a good start.

I have attached two snap shots that would get you in and out fairly early with a small loss. As I pointed out in the description in the image you could alter my rules (could be discussed) and use the initial entry rules throught the whole trade.

I believe that there is enough risk inherent in 4x that survival is the biggest key. I know I have wavered and said you could get in early on the next highest TF if the candle doesn't confirm but price is penetrating HAS candle.

I personally will adapt a very rigid mechanical style that a monkey could follow and in hopes would be a black box trading system. I am going to just look for colors to match and make this system "black & white", whoops blue and red.

To all thanks for this great thread.

I have been testing the EA on 4 different pairs and it seems to be working well but if you could add the symbol() and period () to the alert it would be helpful to keep track of alerts from each pair. Also, I assume by changing the magic number in the setup this is allowing the EA to keep track of the separate trades.
It would seem that you could get a better entry by looking at the price crossing the HA.
Also, in the trades so far it would be a nice feature to add a trailer with the option to move to breakeven and lock. This would be very helpful on the longer TF trades.
A scale out to free trade scenario would also be helpful to free up money for additional trades in other TF.
If you need additional testing comments I would be happy to assist.

It's looking for this indicator, "FX_Sniper's_Ergodic_CCI_Trigger"

Please attach that indicator.
