Check the journal in the backtest. Do you see errors for "invalid lots"?

90% of the problems people have with my EAs revolves around that problem. The solution naturally is to make sure the lot size is not 0.
Thanks for this. Yes this sorted it out. Now when I backtested it, I didn't get good results but I stress....backtesting is not my forte.

So, do you have results from optimisation that you consider healthy that you can forward? I will then play around with permutations.

I just put the EA together. I didn't bother trying to optimize it. I'll leave that to Ptournis as he is the one who knows this system best.

Rastaman: Can you tell me where I can get the Wolfwave indicator? I took the course many years ago, but have displaced all my notes. Thanks, Ken.

Magic number is a feature placed in most EA's nowadays which insures any trades that aren't made by the EA aren't closed or modified in any way by checking to see if the trades magic number corresponds with the EAs.

Its also useful if you're using mutiple EA's on the same currency pairs, as long as their magic numbers are different, they won't mess with each others orders.
I see.....Never really used an EA much before and am just trying it out of curiosity.

Thanks

Ronald, I tried the EA. It opened short positions, but did not close on opposite signal, even though that was set to true. I don't know how to troubleshoot it, but it looks like there is great potential here.
Thanks,
Bubba

Is the PSAR Ronald posted, working?
EUR/JPY with a 30 pip retracement and the Psar is still giving a Long signal?
The Psar is setup for the 5m TF 0.02 02 the chart is using.

I am finding that the slope indicator does, in fact, repaint. Just be aware.

PSAR is working. It doesn't seem to recognize a change in the slope indicator from short to long.

Or Long to Short for that matter.
I fail to see how a 30 pip retracement is not recognized by both indicators setup for a 5m TF.

The indicator WILL repaint until the bar/candle closes.

Hi all,

how can I set the Ronald Raygun EA to give me only signals, but ONE Time for each signal?

It keeps beeping all the time after a signal, and I must close it...

you need to make some amendment in the ea code, i believed Ronald was miss look on that...ie SlopeDirectionBlue and red !=EMPTY_VALUE instead of < and > 0

Changed the code to EMPTY_VALUE instead of 0 as per mazidah's suggestion.

Also, regarding the signalsonly function, if you want to reduce the amount of signals, set 'EachTickMode' to false

The simplicity of this is a definite plus. I can never get the strategy tester to work on anything, has anyone had some success with that on the 5 min TF?

I tried the Ea And I noticed that it only puts and closes trades according to the Psar and not the slope color change. Anybody having the same thing.

What do the comments on the upper left corner of the chart say?
Psar Direction : Long
Slop Direction : Short
Trade Trigger : None

Yet a buy trade was triggered and is still running. By the way ,I changed the setting of Psar and the slope could that be the reason ?
