@Samurai: I thought I should help you out with English for giving out such a great system. You never have a "Default Language", what you have a mother tongue.
I watch american movie a lot, and i learn bad english stuff really quick, but anyway other people with "English is not my default language" thing can also more fluently than me. I should learn good english from u i guess..

No no, I didn't trade, just backtesting on live account. Im looking on 8pairs and none didn't in line yesterday, even if one were, I wouldn't trade it, couse its Monday.
I'm just thinking if arrows can repaint, never watched them closely. What do you think fren?

Ooo i see that..

ok based on my experience, if the arrow and the HA is in line, its rarely to repaint, but if its not in line, one of the indis (the arrow or the HA) repaints quite often, that can make your heart bouncing.

Hi Samurai,

I also tested the v2 EA yesterday, and found that some trades were loss because of this situation: with the 2 signals approved, the EA open several trades. the last one was almost openned at the end of the day and went loss 1 or 2 days later. That means not all of the trades were closed at the trading day. Did you find this happened in your back test, Samurai? I think the EA should close all the trades at the end of Trading day no matter win or loss trades.

Regards.

woah it worked for me and then it dint....
Made a 100 pips trade.....and then a 100 pips loss. Great idea if tested correctly with different settings.
Negative running position is normal coz the EA taking position on retracement, the market will recover your position when the probability is high, just make sure the indis is in line, all i know if u trade in a high probability setup the loss will reduce, never more than 150pips after u close it in the next 24hours.

Did u mean xchaparro fully auto EA?
Im backtesting xchaparro fully auto EA now, it seems accomodate my idea, if yesterday candle approved, the xchaparro EA should've been open in the right direction coz its based on the arrow and the HA indis. And yes the EA dont close the trade in the next 24 hours, maybe xchaparro will fix it soon.
Im trying different setting for the arrow indicator so that the EA can open more trades, with setting fasterEMA: 5 and slowerEMA:8 on the arrow indis, the EA dont open position quite often but its profitable, now im trying different setting. I'll let u know then..

Hi xchaparro,

I back test your EA on GU from Jul 08 to Jan 09 it seems following my idea, but for spesific month the EA wont open position although on my visual test there is a signal, any idea of catching more signal for the EA?
and i see on the back test report on 14 Jan 09 the EA open position eventhou no signal, any reason? thx

I think the indicator repaints, so sometimes will affect the result. I am working adding a extra indicator that doesn't repaint.

I added the option to no trade on Monday. I also added this indicator HMA hull, H4 to prevent to open trades when the trend change. You can choose "UseHMA" or not. I was running EURUSD today and the trend changed, even when the arrow and HA were in line at the begining. I refreshed the D1 chart and the indicator repainted. The EA will keep trading because it refresh the values once a day for the arrows. Samurai let me know if this work for your idea. Also do you want to close all the trades the next day, even if they are in profits? The EA won't open any trades until the next arrow appear. What about losing trades? do you close them at the end of the day or wait for retrace or stop loss

Hi,

one winning trade at 09:20 GMT this morning but since the afternoon 3 trades still open (see attachment). Monday must definitively be a big no-no for trading this system?
