Semi automatic EA (Driven Version)

Quite new to forex as well as MT4 and want to thank all people on this and other threads for the enthusiasm and ideas.

I have gone through the code posted by ForexFlash and do think there is an issue with brackets. ForexFlash, below i post an extract of a local copy that i made which does seem to do both buy and sell:

if(
MarketAnalize()==-1
&& myMA*(1+Percent/100)<Bid
&& Direction!=22
&& (Bid>=(LastPrice+(CurrentPipStep*Point)) || MyOrdersTotal()==0)
&& RVI<0
) // modified by Renato
{
LogWrite("SELL: " + MarketAnalize() + " myMA: " + myMA + "Bid: " + Bid + "Direction: " + Direction + "LastPrice: " + LastPrice + "MyOrdersTotal: "+ MyOrdersTotal() + "RVI: " + RVI);
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,Lots,Bid,slip,Bid+(Stoploss*Point),Bid-(TakeProfit*Point),GetCommentForOrder(),MagicNumber,0,clOpenSell); // modified by Renato
ret = 1;
}
if(
MarketAnalize()==1
&& myMA*(1-Percent/100)>Ask
&& Direction!=11
&& (Ask<=(LastPrice-(CurrentPipStep*Point)) || MyOrdersTotal()==0)
&& RVI>0
) // Go LONG -> Only buy if >= 30 pips below previous position entry // modified by Renato
{
LogWrite("BUY: " + MarketAnalize() + " myMA: " + myMA + "Bid: " + Bid + "Direction: " + Direction + "LastPrice: " + LastPrice + "MyOrdersTotal: "+ MyOrdersTotal() + "RVI: " + RVI);
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,slip,Ask-(Stoploss*Point),Ask+(TakeProfit*Point),GetCommentForOrder(),MagicNumber,0,clOpenBuy); // modified by Renato
ret = 2;
}

Please check and see if this was the intention.

Thanks for taking a look at the code.
Can you attach the complete EA please?

Thanks

Hi,

I hope ForexFlash doesn't mind too much. I'm happy for him (or her) to take on my changes and integrate into a possible V3 after rectifying what i've done. For now, please find attached my version as Firebird_auto_trend_FE.mq4

I have included an automatic close facility for when the price seems to run away too far in the wrong direction based on an 300 SMA. It seems to help in certain cases, but happy to receive comments.

Hi Fredella
Unfortunately, there is no change.
This EA don't like to buy.... lol
That's why I said ForexFlash should rectify what I've done

However, I'm surprised that it doesn't buy for you. For me it just opened a buy on NZDUSD at 0.50965 (Demo account)

Now it's at 0.51385

Which currency pair are you looking at and have u done a back test?

Thank you very much, Samurai Power, for the trading system.

I am preparing to run the latest version of the EA.

Is it necessary to have to have a different magic number in the EA for each pair it is running on?

It may have already been posted somewhere, but I missed it.

Thanks for the help,
PD

Put the FireBird AutoTrend EMA(m5)V2 EA on EUR/USD and GBP/USD, and it opened a short trade on the EU, which is currently up 26 PIPS. So far, so good.

Update...trade closed out at the TP that I set of 50 PIPS. Trade lasted less than 3 hours. I know some others set 100. Just testing.

Sell trade on GBP/USD opened and closed at 50 PIPS profit. EA opened two new sell orders on the EUR and GBP not long after the two winning trades were closed.

Started demo testing today.

Running: Firebird_auto_trend_FE posted by FredElla on post #163.

It opened the following trades:

audusd buy
eurusd buy
usdchf sell
nzdusd buy
usdcad sell
gbpjpy buy
eurjpy buy

It sets the TP at 500 pips, the SL at 3000 pips.

Same magic number on all.

Thanx b4 Fredella, yes the main problem here is how to recognize the trend reversal and how to manage it to minimize the risk. Some of us using manual recognizing and some of us prefer to use EA.
Honestly im still cuorious bout using only Moving Average to recognize trend reversal for the EA, can u please help us on changing it to heiken ashi and EMA crossover just like I mentioned on post 153 and 156?

thanks alot

I have had some success using a 1 period MA to find the short-term direction for other trading methods.

Hi All,

I'm a newbie and just found this threat. My high expectation to make pips with this EA as SamuraiPower does. However when I upload the EA on my demo account, it gives me lots of these msgs on the Expert tab:

2009.02.04 12:52:24 Firebird v63G trader seven GBPUSD,M5: Account equity = 5000
.....
.....(every second)...

Is this normal? OR some error on my end? Any help are highly appreciated.

Cheers

Brilliant Pistol Dave,I never think about using 1 SMA, I just remember that the arrow indicator I posted on post 1 is based on Crossing between 1 and 2 EMA, it might be very usefull.
Im very cuorious, can U please backtest it with long and short setting since im wrtting this on the pda, and please post the reasult here. Thanks
