need help recoding the 39/39 hilo EA

hello people! i was one the folks using the 39/39 hilo EA from the very first post of that thread. but if you have read about it, they had a problem determining the longer tern trend and started switching the EA manually from short to long and vica-verca when the longer term time frame changed directions. i said to myself "why don't they just program that into the EA?" so that it will look at the 4hr silvertrend signal after that bar is completely closed then go short or long on the 30 min chart, according to the EA's rules? then when the trend on the 4hr changes, close all trades automatically? can somebody help with this? here's a pic below should have good backtest from 2005 and on. before that won't matter cause the market was different before then. EA is here too.

thank you to whomever helps! feel free to use it when it's done!

Those dots on that chart look re-painted.

they aren't. you have to wait for the candle to completely close or else they will repaint read about end of day candle close here:

Where is the indicator?
Send me a PM when you reply. Thanks.

here it is

I am 99.99999999% sure that the indicator repaints, but just in case, i'll check it on a 1m timeframe.

oh, it will if the bar is not closed. that's why you see a lot of trade systems saying wait for the bar close, as that won't be a valid signal if you do not wait. there is a non reapinting version, but that is way of and of no real use.

Here's you PROOF IT REPAINTS!!!

yeah, it does if you refresh the chart a bunch of times. but the higher in time frames you go, the more valid signals are anyways, which is why i don't use lower times frames. at least not to trade manually. but can it be programmed or not?

hey hazelj80.....got your pm and yes we should be able to add higher timeframe trend determination.....

the silvertrend will not be useable...... open 5 or 6 one minute charts.... set them where you can see all..... place silvertrend on the first.... as soon as you see a new dot appear on the first chart place the silvertrend on the second chart.....

there will be no more dots on the first chart.... no matter how long you wait....

now watch the second chart, as soon as the new dot is seen, place the silver trend on the third chart....

no more dots will be seen on the second chart.....

continue this till all 6 charts have the silvertrend.....

they will be different..... there are ways to camoflauge repainting..... it might appear as it's not but the short exercise above will prove it does.... also just looking at the code can tell you it must repaint.....

you would need a better indicator for effective trend determination..... and yes it would help..... my personal favorite is psar......h

ok, supposedly this indicator from here does not repaint or lag at all i opened thre or four charts and kept putting the indicator on there... nothing but changes color but does not change the bar it's on so of course it would have to wait for the daily bar to close for confirmation.. here's what you could get it to do. go long on blue dots and go short on the red dots. this trend direction would be determined on a daily chart. then the EA would enter on a 1hr time frame using it's entry rules and automatically close out trades when the opposite color dot appeared on the daily bar close
