Hi Prosper,

Thankyou for the ea.

I have loaded it on my Demo account and it is running fine.

But when I load it on my LIVE account ... nothing.

Is there reason why it will not work on my live account.

Both accounts are with IBFX.

Many thanks.
Hi Mark,

E-mail me with your account number with your broker. I will generate a license number for you. The unique license number is generated from the account number. You need this to go live.

prosper4rex,

Hello bud, hows tricks?

Ok, so here's the deal. I've been a bit p*ssed off with forex the last few days. You know the score, losing trades etc..I'm down about 300 bucks the last 3 days.

Anyway, I'm trawling through the threads on FF and I come across this one, namely, Forex Trend Catcher EA. Ok, I think, another flash Harry with a so called "magic EA blah blah blah...."

So, I attch the "magic EA" to my floating demo account with about 600 bucks in it.

"Ah, what the hell" I think, "What have I got to friggin lose"

So, I attach the EA to my demo account, set the parameters to...well.....more or less out of the box apart from GMT time which for me is +2 and go out for a few beers............

So, a few hours later and I return to my PC, a little bit worse for wear but............my demo account is now up by 215.67 bucks and I have floating trades totalling -49.39 bucks

So, prosper4rex, have you created an EA that actually does what it says on the box?

Seriously mate, it looks good so far and if it can make me a couple o' hundred bucks from a 600 dollar account on a few hours, then I'm mightily impressed.

I'll keep you posted!!!

ADX was developed largely as a momentum-type indicator. Welles Wilder had something to do with it, I suggest you look him up.

Like all robots they cannot think and make a rational decision they can only do what the simple moving average or MACD or whatever is telling them to do... I think these trades will lose... IMHO!

Judging by that chart, it looks like the EA gets the end of the move...

Where did I put that time machine..

Hello Bernard,

Thought you (and others) would be interested in my results.

By the looks of things it's off to a good start but I'll keep it running on this demo account for a while and see how it goes.

Many thanks,

Benn.

Hi soeasy69,

I do fully agree with you that EA robots can never make rational decisions as human does. However, between trading manually and trading with an EA, personally I will choose an EA.

I have been manual trading for some time, and I can only say this....manual trading is boring, monotonous, testing my patience to the limits, ...and more. I will be sitting at my PC waiting and waiting and waitig for that perfect entry. I think I have done enough waiting to last a lifetime.

To me, trading should be easy and a breeze, and even fun too. But, manual trading seems not so. So, I decided - let the robot do all the dirty monotonous work, and I have my fun...out in the fresh air, smelling flowers, sipping coffee/tea with my pals at the malls, shooting the breeze, learning more from the forums and making new friends, watching the world go by.....etc.

Why handwash when you can use the washing machine? That's my rational.

On a positive note, I saw Benn's trading results which he attached below. (Thank you Benn for posting your results). Contrary to what you have predicted, the GPDUSD actually went into profit, although a small one.

Thanking you kindly for sharing your EA with the rest of this community. I would like to report that since downloading it yesterday, the EA has generated 4 trades with the following results.

2 x -100 pips.
2 x +400 pips.

Total +600 pips in less then 2 days.

Although it is early days for me in testing this EA, results appear quite good so far.

Many thanks

Hello dunny,

Right click on the attachment then save to your pc.

Make sure that your Fx platform is closed then right click and copy the trend catcher file. Locate the Experts folder of your Fx software and simply paste the EA into it.

Restart your platform and the Trend catcher should now be in your Experts Advisors folder in the navigator on the left hand side of the screen.

Bernard,

Here's my second day results from your EA. One trade is floating but its getting late here in Hong Kong and I'm bloomin' knackered!

Looking good so far I have to say.

Keeping my fingers crossed that this really is good and isn't just a fluke.!

Cheers

Hi People,

I discovered a little bug in the original version, version 1a. It involves the end of week closing function. There is a little computation error there. I have rectified it, and uploaded at the beginning of the thread as Forex Trend Catcher Ver1b.ex4.

Please download the rectified copy.

Regards,
Bernard
