I am interested in how you draw your trendlines...I assume you draw them on the 4hr chart....Here is how my EURUSD chart looks right now on the 4hr with the trend line.

Hi Samurai, on your first question here the answer:
If you set up your EA with TrendAnalysis at true and TrendLine_watch at false, The EA will trade in the direction that we want irregardless of the trend line. So it is where you put your trend line that will make the difference. The trend line in your picture will do exactly what you have described. Trade above and stop trading if price action go below. If your place your trend line above the price action and you think that the market will go down, The EA will trade according to your setup up to...

Hi Nam,

For now i'm testing how the TL works to cut loses, so I draw TL quite close to the price to make it hits the TL quickly, after im sure there is no bug and works for about 2 week to 1 month then I will trade it on live regardles my pda on reparation or not ha..ha...
But I do draw line based on S&R line (no brainer thread is a good one to learn) , trendline on 4H chart based on PA slope just like I used to draw in the earlier of this thread (psiholog is expert on this one). I will post the TL pic as soon as i finish testing the function of the new EA. Cheers

Hi Namrettik, if you are trading with a 5 digit broker an Alert_10 provide you only a window of 2 pip to detect the trend. So in a fast market, the EA may end up missing the Alarm. So i suggest to use nothing below 20. In my simulation it happen to me, so in foward testing we will have to pay attention to this detail.

bye

Hi. I have firebird on demo at present and its doing ok. Couple of questions I wanted to ask you:

1. What are you using at present to determine the long term trend? Have you changed from using HAS & Signal Arrows?

2. At present, I have a series of messages coming up saying "excessive loss" Now the loss really ain't that much at all but there must be some tight setting I have in the EA. Can you advise please how I switch this message off?

Thanks

yupz thx actionpl,

hi vnath,
yes im still using the template on my 1st post, but what we are trying to do now is to minimize drawdown when trend reversal occur by adding a trendline recognition to the ea.
About the alert its in the code and i can do nothing but by disabling alert option might help u.
keep demo so u can get the feel. cheers

This message appear when you doing live trading and that the trade that you have is generating a high rate of loss. Variable "PippsLoss" will affect this message. IF you increase this variable, it mean that you can manage a higher rate of loss. It is a warning that your account is going in the wrong direction. If you don't want to see that set your variable "writelog" at 0,

Thanks. One of the indicators i use to give me an idea as to the direction of the trend is the Laguerre on a higher TF. It gives a reasonably good overview and when the Laguerre starts to flatten out, you take the trades off the table and wait for a turn up or for Laguerre to start falling again. Ok its not perfect but it should keep you out of trouble

Any thoughts on Laguerre?

hi vnath,

Using the approach in your first post, do you get a "neutral" stance on Cable right now? Yes HAS bars are pointing down but the signal arrow is up after yesterdays upward correction.

I am standing aside today until I see a down arrow appear or alternatively, HAS turns positive. Whichever is first

Also , typically on a given move, do you stick to 100pips TP all the way every day or do you change this as the move goes on over time?

Thoughts?

Hi vnath,

Sometimes if HA and the arrow is not in line I got confuse, most of the time I turn the EA off. And i do stick with 100 TP for GU and EU (Most of the time).
