I trade EUR/USD, USD/CHF, GBP/USD and EUR/CHF.

Right now only trading on EUR/USD and USD/CHF as we have buy cross on USD/CHF at the stochastic divergence and sell at EUR/USD wich make sense as Dollar is appreciating while euro depreciating.

The other two pairs have the EAs disabled right now, waiting for a new arrow and cross.

2 trades opened on €/$ and 2 on $/CHF. I'm quite sure this 4 trades will have 100 pips each. 1 Trade closed today with the trailing stop at 40 pips, i've disabled the trailing stop right now on all the 4 pairs.

I think tomorrow all the 4 positions will be closed.

It's TrailingStop, nothing to do with Pipstep, I just use the default settings.

I'm not using pipstep, i've set it to 0 right now because it''s risky on a live account, you could get margin call. I want one trade per time, we'll see how it goes.

Ok, thanks gasgas for the Stochastic Divergence indicator. I'm using this, plus another one for crosses that catches major trends.

So basically it's samurai power's chart, plus the QQE indicator I use and the Stochastic Divergence.

I made a zip file, with the chart template.tpl and all the indicators you need to make it easier for everyone. Attached an image too that explains.

I'll sum up the rules for my chart:
1) Watch for an arrow on the chart.
2) Check the [b]Stochastic...
Hello TheGabriel,
I am fascinated by your posts. I'm a newbie and just curious to see if you (or anyone) can explain how to read the QQE indicator? Thanks.

Does it make any difference if I remove this indicator from my chart?

SafeArea: 50000
Pipstep: 400
TakeProfit: 1000
StopLoss: 3000
TailingStops:400

Hi again,

thank's for your reply.

I searched the thread, but couldn't find answer to this one:

Can I disable the DV limit function? Even I have set "Use V63 Divergence" to "false" I dont get any trades due to low Divergence.

I would like to disable the divergence, can I do that? II also tried to set it to 500, but still no trades (GJ).

Thank's in advance,

PC

hi!
If trend changes, should i manual closs open position to reduce DD, or waiting till Sl hit?
Another one, i did tried to draw TL named UpTrend_Alert_45, and switched TrendLineWatch to true, it showed "Trades Disabled - Waiting for Trendline activation" and thats all.
Can someone help with it ?
If you set variable TrendLineWatch to true, the system will not trade up to a point where the price action hit a trend with an Alert set to it. So if the pair does not trend, you can set two trend on up and one down with Alert to it. When one of those will be hit the system will start to trade the way you have selected. This is a nice feature to setup your chart and you don't have to look at it every hour or so.

So if you don't want to wait for a trend to be broken before it start to trade leave this variable to false.

No matter how much I try I canīt get this to work. When I drag the EA to my chart it just doesnīt show up like nothing happens, the same as when I drag the indicators , they donīt show up on my charts, very strange, as everything else is working well... hmmm
Make sure you have the Heiken Ashi indicator in your custom indicator folder.

If it still does not work, look at the expert folder on metatrader and look at error message, it will give you an indication what is missing in your setup.

Elovv
If you set manage trade to true, the EA will look at variable "index" and if it is set at 1, it will trade or not according to the previous bar setup to the timeframe that you have selected on Heiken_Ashi_timeperiod. So to monitor what happen, you need to set your chart to the same time frame that you have set in your setup. And look at the Heiken Ashi indicator.

P.S. if you set index to 0, it will look at the current bar, so if the bar change color during the 240min, you can have a trade if it is in line with the trade direction that you want.

Thanks for answer Actionpl

Just wondering, what pair are you guys in a trend with now? I set downtrend on usd-jpy, eur-usd, eurjpy. Made about 250 pips so far, but not to good now Suddenly they all turned against me, maybe I was to fast determing a change of trend....

Oddien

Start with EURUSD and GDPUSD, all the JPY pair have a more volatile way of trading and you need to adjust the divergenceLimit to a higher level if you use it and need to be monitor closely

Thx actionpl for covering all the questions....owe u a lot..

EA seems to work perfect. Have it on 10 pairs with Samurais settings. I have write a trendline in every chart. If trendline is hit...am I protected and the EA stop trade + close all trades?
Or do I have to write something somewere on the trendline?

Elovv
Hi Elovv,

I think it is much better if u just have 1 pair or maximum 2 pair to trade with the EA but with larger lot size, minimizing energy, the FB setting is doing great for EU and GU, let say U trade 10 pair with 1lot each, why dont just use 10lot with 1 pair, that way u can focus on predicting the major trend direction, less analyzing time, less stress, not much news (if u are fundamentalist).
About trendline thing, i guess u got the answer already....
keep pipin'.....

Hi All,

GU overall is still in an up move, +100pips today untill now and protected with trendline and keep moving up (I hope...).

EU I see that pressure on bear is higher, still stick with buy since 2 days ago, but if its go down my trendline protect me at 1.3240. If its happen i might lose arround 180pips after gain hundreeds of pips before.

Samurai Power
