sad to say, with my current commitments (you know what I mean), I can only help out with quick fixes or minor code mods in the forums when i'm taking a break. I'm sure someone else can pick up where it's been left off.

It looks to work nicely on the 5 minute but would definitely need a trailing stop of some kind, and also a time filter so that it wouldnt trade during dead times. I always like a trailing candle type of stop where it would trail the high/low of the 5 previous candles.

Great concept! The RSI is the only indicator I use, so an EA based on one definitely catches my attention.

This one seems to be hard coded for 55 RSI only. You can change the numbers, but the trade features don't change with you. No matter what RSI you set it for (for example, changing it from default 55 down to 8), it will only open and close lots based on the 55RSI. So it would be nice to have it coded so that it changes to what ever RSI you desire.

Did you change the settings on the input tab for the EA? I have mine set to 21 (and also the indicator set to 21) as well as having the RSI on the chart to confirm and it is taking trades based on the 21.

I'm not sure how y'all r using it but I'm using it on 1m chart and using trade mgt ea for tp. No sl because opposite signal is a good stop by itself. I'm running on demo for a while as is so I can see avg loss. This will give me my target tp and I'll use avg loss as a way to determine lot size. Just to see what happened Today while watching it during US session it picked up 23 pips on EU using no sl and 7 tp. most I lost today was 7 pips

Not sure what I'm doing wrong then. I had the candle indi set on 8, and set the EA for that as well. The starting color was red and a trade opened. But soon after the color changed to blue, but the trade stayed the same and never converted over. It should have closed the Sell and quickly converted over to Buy, right? If so, it never did. So now I just have it all back on default settings.

If you know how to set it up some other way please post a template asap. Thanks!

Magic, are you sure you are using version 3?

Once you add it go to the inputs tab and go down to RSI period and change it to what you want.

As you can see, when everything is set on 21RSI it doesn't take any trades. On 55 it works fine, though.

Just wondering... could it be a magic number problem?

Im not to sure about the magic number. I did just add this to the gbpusd 1m chart just like yours and got a long trade that just triggered.

The pic shows that the bars have changed color, but the EA did not switch trade direction. By this time the EA should have closed the last trade, a Sell (at a loss), and re-opened immediately with a Buy. Can anyone explain what's going on? (FYI, all settings are now RSI-12.) Many Thanks!

In general, this EA is looking very promising. If these minor bugs ever get worked out by our better programmers here, and maybe some money management/SL/TP added in, I can see this becoming my favorite EA.

There's no bug in the EA. Its working just as I programmed it to be and according to the thread starter's requirements. If it works well for others but not for you, problems ain't with my codes...

Whether or not an EA works can be dependent on many things. this EA as it is now is the most basic form and should work with most brokers. If yours is an ECN, then perhaps some mods would need to be in place. have you looked at the expert and journal tab? are there any error messages during the time it should open or close out orders? Also, I ask that you exercise tact in your comments of work done by programmers here. And yes, I am a little offended.
