Hi, Ronald,

Thanks for writing the ea. Could you put in the following code into your ea?

Inserted Code
[font=Arial]if(AccountFreeMargin()<(1*Lots)){
      Print("We have no money. Free Margin = ", AccountFreeMargin());
      return(0);[/font]

I found the ea is still trying to open positions even after it runs out of money.
There is a version of that in the code already...

Thanks for sharing. I tested it manually, I like this system. I would love to know results of others who are live. I will share mine too.

You've been forward testing today? What broker do you use? I ask because today is Saturday, and the market is closed.

As for PSAR being spread out, it's nice to look at visually, but if I were to give you a set of numbers, (the values of each dot). How do you pick which one to use?
Hi Ronald..
Check the indicator I posted. It is a modified PSAR indicator.. and it goes green to light green when it is spreading out. So the code must be there to change the color of dots.. just use those value..
say for example..
1st dot is 8567
2nd dot is 8568
3rd dot is 8570

2nd dot and third dot has diff of 2 .. it is when the DOTS spread out and dots become green to light green.
So the ea should be..
when slop is green and last 2 dots value diff is 2 or more in upside ( User can set this on properties) it fires the trade..

in a brief.. see the indicator i have attached in my last post. when the dots become green to light green and slope is up.. fire the trade..

I hope it may help..

Thanks anyway for the EA that we already have.. i think we can make this better even...

In future if we can do this after that we can then filter the trade against the trend this way we can have more winning trades...

Also ronald have a look at the attached Pic.. it is a momentum indicator. Is it possible for u to code this for Metatrader?

Aminur,

I appreciate your enthusiasm for this system and respect your drive to improve it.

However, I will not code every indicator/adjustment/tweak/etc possible. Can you please explain why you want a specific modification and more importantly, how the modification helps?

Hi Ronald..
Check ur PM..
The thing is to work with this system..
If u have SLOPE / PSAR with spread out dots .. along with Momentum..
in same direction .. it will give u some pips every time..
u may notice PSAR sometimes put dots in choppy market too..
but PSAR only goes green to light green when there is a move..

my idea is to stick with the main system and momentum and Modified psar to filter out some signal that won't work..

Thanks

Hi Ronald,

it gets me wonder even if still I am collecting only losses

Sometimes happens strange things
I would like to know if there si something only on mine
or if others have occurred in the same problem.

The settings are the basic, with false on eachtickmode

thanks for your help

The PSAR and slope line were opposite each other most likely. If you want to stop that problem from happening, set "EachTickMode" to false.

Does said slope indicator repaint?
This is the actual code for updating the indicator:

Inserted Code
    Comment( "e:",e, " period:",period, " e-period:", e-period);
    for (x = e-period; x >= 0; x--) {
        trend[x] = trend[x+1];
        if (ExtMapBuffer[x]> ExtMapBuffer[x+1]) trend[x] =1;
        if (ExtMapBuffer[x]< ExtMapBuffer[x+1]) trend[x] =-1;
    
        if (trend[x]>0) {
            Uptrend[x] = ExtMapBuffer[x];
            if (trend[x+1]<0) Uptrend[x+1]=ExtMapBuffer[x+1];
            Dntrend[x] = EMPTY_VALUE;
        } else if (trend[x]<0) {
            Dntrend[x] = ExtMapBuffer[x];
            if (trend[x+1]>0) Dntrend[x+1]=ExtMapBuffer[x+1];
            Uptrend[x] = EMPTY_VALUE;
        }
    }
In the above, the first line was a debugger I inserted to show the values of e and period.

The variable x is oftentimes assigned the value of 2; and thus it iterates for 3 times. Therefore, it repaints the last 3 candles. You will seldom find the "cross-over" because it will repaints and you'd think you missed the entry.


PS. The repaint does not modify/change the values of the indicator for the last 3 candles, but rather the *color* or signal (ie, Long or Short).

Ronald Raygun,

I wish to experiment with not using the PSAR dots and use only the Slope Indicator of the EA. Could you please tell me how I could disable the PSAR in the EA so that it only uses the Slope Indicator to generate signals. Can I do that with the external displayed details under Properties or do I have to go into the Metaquotes Language Editor. What changes do I need to make.Thank you.

In the code: Look for:

Inserted Code
string TradeTrigger = "None";

Below that is the criteria required for a trade. Just delete the part which has the PSAR.

Ronald Raygun,

Thank you for your response. In the MetaEditor I deleted the parts which have the PSAR and what remains is as follows :

if(SlopeDirection == "Long" && (SlopeDirection1 == "Short")) TradeTrigger = "Open Long";

if(SlopeDirection == "Short" && (SlopeDirection1 == "Long")) TradeTrigger = "Open Short";

if(SlopeDirection !=) TradeTrigger = "Close Trade";

Have I done this correctly? Especially the last line. Is that complete or is there something else which is required to be added?

The response I get after making the above changes is "Access is denied". How do I proceed, please. Thank you.
