HAS Indicator - Misc indicators & EA's

I started running the EA that 4xMaster has coded. God it looks like a lot of work went into it. I like what he has done with the # of pips for penetration. There is some interesting inputs that he has let the user modify. It is worthy of a good work up.

Unfortunately I don't have much experience using the stategy tester and don't want to comment on what I am seeing. I do want to say that he provides for stops. I don't have any except those outlined in the strategy by way of color change.

I will leave this area to anyone on here that understands my previous posts on what to look for on an entry and exit to comment on the accuracy of the coding on the EA.

Thanks 4xMaster it really has some extra inputs that I didn't think of.

I agree. I would like to have some nifty alerts that can look at the current TF and all three if possible.

4xMaster,

Many other HAS type systems have been coded with EAs have also failed miserably in backtesting. I do not know if its due to lack of tick data from MT4 [don't ask me the reason, but I always see this as being the issue for backtesting] or maybe the EA have to be able to somehow distinguish between a trending and ranging market or a better exit entry is required.

I guess if the EA method does not work, maybe just give one an alert if two out three timeframes agree to either go long or short. For me, I do not like staring at a screen all day waiting for a setup.

It looks like the EA is entering and exiting lookig at only one TF. Anyone else see this?

I have two templates set-up. One is just the HAS and the other is HAS with AH. If I have a close call and need to bring out another tool from my tool box I can see if the AH confirms like the other gentleman suggested.

It's handy when you have decided to use penetration to confirm on the next higher TF. If you see the AH confirm you might take it. If you just want to see the velocity of the entry on a color bar confiirmation you can look at the AH and see what kind of set-up to expect.

FYI: the AH confirms a 4H long on Cable as stated in an earlier post.

Have plugged in all the numbers as you stated, but the candlesticks are still
showing under the HAS. I am using the version that you posted. Should
the candles that come with MT 4 be visable, I thought only the HAS would
be showing. Everything else looks good. BTW: I know this would be alot
of trouble, but could your put together all of your views & recommendation
on trading this method into a pdf for everyone? I am also missing the
MA line if thats what that is that is visable on your charts. Tks for
your help.

Hi Ace,

Maybe you have candlestick chart as your type of chart. If you click on line-graph (not sure if that is the name, can't check since am at wrk), it should solve your problem.

Regards,
K.

I really don't know what you are doing that is different. Maybe you can post a screen shot so we all can see what you are talking about.

I will see what I can do later about a pdf. I feel this thread will be useful to see what we finally come up with.

Steinitz,

I am trying to see what you are looking at on the 4hr chart. I don't see the red candle with blue wick. Could you post a pic of yours? I have attached a shot of my mt4.

Thanks

Steinitz,

thanks for the quick reply, I must be thick I just don't see the blue wick on red body on the 4 hr. Here is a closeup of my 4hr. and I believe I have the settings right 2,6,3,2. Is this what your chart looks like?

Great stuff so far! I have been lurking since the beginning and have gotten more into your system the farther along the thresd has gotten.

Thanks

High has been +30 pips so far, after a retrace which was -9. Not bad Steinitz

Hello Jokerswild, I really like the HMA, it is nice and simple, how do I get it? Is it already on MT4? With the HA and the HMA together it paints a nice simple picture, for this nice simple chap. Cheers, and sorry for interupting the flow of this great thread again!!

Oh and the settings oof the HA indicator at 2,6,3,2, where does this get input..........

Another variation is to just plot the hma and price line on a 4 hour which is basically the "fozzy" method

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.

Thats should not happen.
It should enter after confirmation from the 2nd TF, and exit after confirmation from the 2nd TF and if the x_3rdTFCloseConfimation is set to true, it also looks at the 3rd TF.
Please give me a specific example (the exact time and currency) when it didnt follows these rules.

BTW: currently the EA raises debug alerts, which means after each bar close, it raise an alert with the value of the current HAS bars in the 3 TFs. When the rules applies it also opens a trade.

Steinitz,

Can you please post clear rules with all indicators on one post? It seems this has splintered and needs your BLACKBOX rules on taking a trade.

Thanks,

Go to post #13 and save to experts indictor both attachments. Close down MT$ and re-open it. Drag and drop the indicator which should say Heiken_Ashi_Smoothed. Go to charts, indicator list. Click on indicator and hit edit. Common = Allow external....Inputs = 2,6,3,2. Colors = Red, blue, red, blue. Width = 1,1,3,3. Style = 0,0,0,0. Visualization = All timeframes & show in the data window.

End

This should work

Dear Stientiz;
Your rules are pretty fine and the system is thought to be pretty fine. I went through the whole thread and got to track all your rules from many posts. I wonder if you would post a clear entry and exit rules with stoploss and profit taking in a single post so a member can follow this post about the system

Thanks;

Ahmad
