I tried visually testing the EA and there seems to be problems with the first order? It should only be closed if we are in profit ...

Could you show me an example chart? I can't recreate this problem.

When the trades go in, do you put your own SL and TP or will the EA do it for you. Or please explain how it works. Thats the ASHFX VERSION 11 am talking about
Everything works by default. If you want to stay true to the system, don't modify any of the settings, EXCEPT for the lot size. (it's 0 by default)

Hi D_Trader,
I think I have had something similar. I couldn't work out why the first part of a USDCHF buy was closed. Seemed to be triggered at the open of the new 4H bar 00:00.
From the ea properties I have;
UseStopLoss true @ 100
OverRideStopLoss false
UseTakeProfit false
UseTrailingStop false
MoveStopOnce false

While typing this up, I noticed the Stoc & AC had gone against the trade on the last bar to be closed (under the yellow vert line).
I must have stared at that chart for b---- ages & only just saw it now.

I am on IBFX, but I'll post the chart anyway, since I saved it.

cheers

I don't get it.

What's the problem now?

Ronald apologies for the delayed reply

EA opens orders even if the bar doesn't correspond with the direction - candle needs to close below open for short and close above open for long
1st screenshot - long opened since all criteria is met, hwoever the candle has closed red

2nd screen shot - the 1st position of the long that was opened in the 1st screen shot is closed on the next bar despite being in loss at the end of the day. We don't close the order the next day, unless we are in profit for the day. I suspect that the changeover in AO has been programmed to close the first position. The first position is only closed if we are in profit - regardless of what the AO/psar does; its the second position that is closed based on AO/Psar crossover

If you would like to replicate results, I'm using a GMT + 2 broker and visually testing EUR/USD over 2006-2007, the order in the screenshot took place on 17th jan 2006.

I probably should look through your code, but don't wish to hack in, change it and post it, await to hear your thoughts

The second order in this example is then closed based on AO crossover - but I suspect that the second order coding is fine, but the fact that the first order has been closed - the second closed ...

You're right about the candle direction. I forgot to put it into the entry logic.

As for the exits, these are the possibilities:

First trade:

  1. StopLoss
  2. The first day that closes leaving you with a profit

Second trade:

  1. StopLoss
  2. MoveToBreakeven after the first trade is closed
  3. AO turns the opposite direction
  4. PSAR Switches sides.

First trade is only closed by the EA if the candle closes in the same direction as the trade, and only if the trade is in profit.

I think you need to add in the code that both orders are closed if the stop loss is hit (first order has not yet been closed, and price hits the swing high or low - both orders are closed)

Yes, my EA is designed to give two trades/signal. I designed it so that in the event of a power-outage, or computer reset, or other dangerous situation ,my EA can recover completely and know exactly where it left off.

I personally find it easier just splitting an order into multiple trades than trying to get one large trade and split that into smaller trades. It's a personal programming preference.

Hi RR. Thanks for explaining that.

2nd position doesn't close if the swing high/low is hit it leaves a rather large equity loss... do you want a screenshot?

Does the 2nd trade get a stoploss value?

That's what should happen. Does it?

Is there any thing you do to the ea other than you put the lots in before you place it on the charts.

As I said before, if you want to follow the system exactly, that's all you have to do.

Sound too simple? I can make it more complicated if you like

SignalsOnly means exactly what it says...the EA will give you SignalsOnly, no trades....

as for the lines, those are the lines corresponding to the EA's calculated swing high and swing low.

Was there a stoploss?

The stoploss is what closes the trade in the event of a non-profit...are you sure you're not disabling the stoploss?
