Hi

In the Carmen indi posted on Post 1, There is no option to set start_at_pips_profit2 OR start_at_pips_profit3. Is that the most recent indi.

Please suggest...

On this subject, I made a discovery regarding a better way to take profit with the system . I'll put in a more detailed explanation of why it works with pics later but the crux is...

The default values for expand_rate so far have always started small and then become larger.

This is intuitive because we instinctively want to breakeven asap, but it's the completely wrong way to go.

expand_rate instead should always start large and get smaller, like this:


[code]extern string SetOne="**********************Set_One_Settings***************";...

In V2.01 aicccia made those internal variables. You can easily change them back to external yourself but it's really not something you have to be too worried about at this point.

WE need EA or at least semi-EA for just Enter when lines crossing,
because it's almost impossible
to enter trade exactly or near, when the line is crossing manually
and it will be even harder on the real live account, cause when
pair is moving you'll get "off quotes" error messages and when you
finally place the order, it might already too late..

Test account will place the orders even when pair is moving, no problems,
that's not the case in the real account.

Hey, Skyzer.

I have no idea what your trading style is or how you're using the carmen indi but the signals I'm receiving dictates an intraday style. Maybe half a dozen or so signals per week. Off quotes aren't going to make much difference in the long run. From what I've been observing, most times I could easily afford to wait for one or two confirming candles, M5, before pulling the trigger.

With that said, I agree with you 100% that an EA is the only way to get the full benefit of this system/indi. Following the system keeps you in back to back trades at all times, 24/5. Physically impossible for one human to manually trade.

I updated the alert EA and this time it should give the alerts correctly. The problem with the indicator was that it repaints a little, so I just "remember" the last trading mode (buy or sell) and whenever that changes it triggers the alert.

Again, this EA does NOT trade, it should only pop up the alert when trade direction is recommended to change.

I attach the image with successful recent alert, the EA and the version of the indicator it works with.

Since I last posted, I've gone through versions 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, and 2.8 on my way to v3.00.

Since it's been a while, I decided to show where I've gotten so far so people can see where I'm going so I'll be putting up 2.8 in less than an hour.

While the influences of 2.00 will be definitely in seen in 2.8, it's definitely another generation of indicator and I'll be looking for the people here to look at it and give their thoughts on what is bloat and what works.

Carmen seems to have re-pain or refresh problem?

Look I'm loading now absolutely the same template on the different

broker and some screens got just different views.. Same pairs I mean..

This is strange on 1 account you think it's a sell, while on the other

it's more like a buy?

Check these screen shots Same pair/ Same time frame

Maybe it's just a glitch, cause mostly screens look the same..

I like Indy though now playing in Real account. EA_ALERT for some reason also got settings for the Carmen indy inside.

Why? I don't get it, since Indy already set all it needs just a Alarm when lines are crossing one or the other direction

Just need Alarm option in the Indy itself "true" "false"

Just posted 2.8 on the front page. The code has been completely re-written, and re-painting does not happen anymore.

Loaded the indicator into my indicators folder, but it doesn't load up on to the charts like previous versions.

Same here. It does such a good job not re-painting, that it doesn't even show up on the chart.

thx,
