Hi Smurai,
Your EA sounds exciting. I do not trade robots they frighten me as one is no longer in control, I like to be in control of my own destiny. Having said that, I have just blown my account using Forex Ambush. As I write it is still 120 pips from profit target. There are many Sheisters selling rubbish.

Back to your EA.
I would like to use it where can I down load it please.
I like what I read and specially your own involvement, it shows confidence.
Please provide download link.
Thank you
You should not be freightened if you use Stop Loss and Take Profit, not very tight (depends on your margin) and follow timeframes like H4, Daily, Weekly.

Being frightened is a psicological problem with or without EA, you have to solve this.

I waited for two days.
About the settings. First I set it for the demo and I test it , after i see that it work i just logout from demo to the other account, i did check the settings and they did not change after the login.
Strange, i do that but it works fine. Maybe u should ask ur broker.

You have missed the boat my friend. Robots are mechanical things that can not change as the market does from minute to minute. That is why I like the Samurai idea. It leaves me in charge of my own destiny. I do not like my financial future controlled by uncontollable entities. I have no fear in me when it comes to trading. Having said that, could you please provide me with the download link of the Samurai semi mechanical system?
Thank you for the interest and your reply.
I hope and pray that you make big money and spend it wisely.
Good luck trading the forex Market.

Hey Samurai and everyone else, sorry I have been away for so long and not contributing. Just finished up final exams, and finished moving across country so out of the game for a while. Looks like I have alot to catch up on, and looks as though you have further optimized the Ea, nice!

Hopefully I can bring myself up to speed in the upcoming weeks.

What broker would you guys use to go live with? MBTrading is an ECN which is releasing MT4 platform soon, but I live in a province in Canada that is not allowed to sign up?! That is stupid! Do you guys know of a way to sign up in my case?

There are a lot of choices like forex.com or alpari.com or fxcm.com etc. but I suggest using a broker based in U.K. as in USA new law is coming into force from 15th. inst. which will prevent hedging.

If you phone MB directly they will set up a demo account for you. However, the MT4 has been in beta for months, and there is no sign it will be released anytime soon, I wouldn't hold your breath. Apparently I am told it is a programming nightmare to adapt MT4 with ECN. I stopped using the demo for that reason, very glitchy and offline half the time.

Hi Okehiedon
Thanks, you may be right.

Quoting okehiedon
I suggest you use the 4 hr charts for trendlines, they are better placed there and the daily charts for major support and resistances horizontal lines.
My thinking with using the daily chart for trendlines is that I want to see the price move within the entire width of the uptrend or downtrend channel. If the price wanders outside the channel the EA plays safe and immediately switches off. With a shorter timeframe like 4H smaller scale channels may come into focus, as well as the big one which I aim to follow.

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.

Hi Samurai!
In Your post 1280, your sample TL is drawn on a 1D chart. How do you decide where to place the TL on the 5m chart? -
1) do you draw on the 1D, then reduce scale to 5M? or
2) do you look at the trend on the 5M for the past say 4-6 hours plus allow for say a 30 pip buffer to allow for small retracements? Or,
3) any other method?

Sorry for getting mixed-up here. With the above settings, does this mean there is only one TL, and this is on the Daily Chart even though the EA is connected to the 5M chart? Or do you have an extra TL on the 5M chart?

Hi to all, with version 1.4, this fonctionnality will be included.
By the way, you can have as many trend line with alert as you want....
Hi, i have completed my test on this version for those two new features.
A trend line with the following word "Close_" will act as described in my previous post(just clic on the blue arrow at the beginning of this post to get the details). And a trend line with "Trade_" in it will intiate a hedge trade when the trend line is hit.

Note: If the Trendline with a Close in it is hit, the EA will stop trading waiting for your intervention. Any other trendline that is hit will toogle the EA state between able to trade and unable to trade.

This should provide us with more free time and still monitor the market efficiently.

Bye

Hi Andy, when you place a trend line, you can use any timeperiod that you want to draw it, it will show on all time period.
2- You can have many trend line active at the same time. Just make sure that you know what you are doing. Start with one as Samurai describ in his post and make sure you understand well how it work. With version 1.4, you can have 5 types of trend that will react differently. Make sure you understand the subtility. I will recommend to start with the Simple "Alert_40" in your trend line description. This is the simplest one, the only thing it does is to stop trading when it is hit. When you use it, use 40 as minimum on a 5 digit broker.

Hi The Gabriel
I don't trade live yet, but will start up with microlots soon. It is obviously a whole different ballgame with real money, as greed and fear comes into the picture. I will however start with 'small' balls in the form of microlots. My capital is very small anyhow, so it's got to be small - as small as possible.
