First EA Version1 Near Completion- Need Help

Here it is....

I am looking at adding an additional exit strategy, especially for the draw down trades.... it seems that once a trade goes past a few hours it hangs for a long time... that is one option..... could use feedback on those hanging trades

Looking at your results, it looks that you are not using a stop loss or SL exit criteria. Don't be fooled by the no stop loss inflated profits. Your account will eventually crash or be margin called when the market turns against you in a bad way. When you include your SL or exit of some sort, this will shed truth on if the entry criteria is really all that. Not to sound like a downer. Just stating maybe things that still need to be addressed. None the less, keep going.

I do have a stop loss strategy... it is based on the price deviating further... I need to do research though on adding to the exit strategy....

I am getting to see some patterns, and will be testing adjustments... there was some strange occurrences in a couple of the trades that I want to look more deeply into.... it looks like it opening without a line a cross, still signifying pressure in the opposite direction, thus hanging trades.....

also looking for feedback and results to confirm... if you have suggestions or results to share either post them here on pm me please... I have found most of the problems when running a 2008 strategy test, but for Jan/Feb of this year have had good results

Down too much.

Right now, I am having no problems with 2009 at all... good results, minimal drawdown (5-6%).... Problems show up in 2008... see my post above...

The problem I am having is that when I click "Open Chart" after a 2008 strategy test, I am unable to scroll into 2008, thus I am not able to see what is happening to make any necessary adjustments... I suppose one option would be to set a hard stop loss (not an option I desire), close trades that are open for so long (this is a pattern that I see), seeing if there is something related to volume, or if there is some bug in the system that I didn't clean out, etc....
