Hey ec, I can't seem to get your ea to work. Have loaded in expert advisors as well as in indicators. Any suggestions?

Oops, got it loaded now. Tks.

It Places a stop order on the horisontal line .. and sl an tp horisontal lines .. all invissible to the brokers ...

So when price reach stop order it executes the order and keep sl and tp invissible.

Real magic

ECFOREX
where can i set the type of order (sell limit, sell stop, buy limit, buy stop) ?

Thanks

This is slick. It appears that it's just for managing your exits. If you have a 5-digit platform, don't forget to change the defaults by adding another zero to the preset. This adds a red (stoploss) and blue (take profit) line to your chart which you can then move anywhere you want very easily wherever you want it. Tks

Thanks ECForex, for sharing this. I'm quite impressed actually. Until now, the only EA I have seen or heard of that hides the SL and TP from a broker is the Artemis Sitter, which costs $400. Have you used this EA on a live account with success? Have you noticed if it fills the SL and TP orders even during news events, or when price is moving very fast?--that's usually when these types of EAs don't do their job properly.

If this EA had a scaling out option, that would make it a must-have for me. The thing about the Artemis Sitter that I'm interested in, is that it scales out a position in up-to 5 parts (or maybe 6) and you can choose from a selection of different scaling out options, like MAs, PSARs, certain pip counts, etc...and it also hides everything from the broker. If there were a way to use this Easy EA along with another EA, like ManageTP, or some other scaling out EA that could run at the same time, then you'd have both! But I don't think 2 EAs of this nature could run on one chart at the same time. Also, if you enter a hedged position (a long when you are already short, etc), this Easy EA would probably not know which order to TP for, etc. The Artemis Sitter has the option to set ID numbers to help with that.

I love how you can move the SL and TP by simply dragging the horizontal line, that's great!

Has anyone else been using this EA? I'd love to hear some examples of Live trading with it...especially when the market is moving fast.

Best Regards,
Neo

P.S.
Whenever using an EA to manage your SL and TP (or even for scaling out in multiple parts), be sure to ALWAYS have a hard SL set on your platform, even if it's a big SL (like 50 or 100)...because if you lose your internet connection or the power goes out, or the computer crashes...the EA will not fulfill your stop or any of the other settings.

Excellent advice Neo!!

With no dis-respect to ECforex, there are a number of these EAs and scripts available before you get to $400 ones.
Not that I know much about them other than that but they could have your scaling out. I may even know of one... I'll look around but I think that I recently saw something of that fashion.

Hi Neo,

Glad you like it like me ...

Nice thing is you can place the stop orders within 1 or 2 pips away from price ... AND it is SO EASY to move it .... and once trade is triggered SL and TP is a wizz to move ..

Yes it would be briliant if we could stage the exits ...

And yes one should run a safe sl like 50 to 100 pips on the trade with the brokers ...

I run it from a VPS ... but sometimes loose contact with my vps ... but at least vps is very good with connection ... 99.99% up

I will speak to a buddy who is excellent with EA programming ... to see if we could perhaps do 1/3 1/3 1/3 exits

And remember you can only run one ea at a time ...

I managed to edit fractal alert indi to enable any alert I need ... like inside bars, outside bars, reversal bars, double top bars, double bottom bars and doji ... and ma crosses or macd crosses ... anything you like ... then I carry on with work and wait for indi to shout alert ... and I can decide if I want to respond and take the trade ...

Hi Neo, Glad you like it like me...
I've actually been using it all evening on my live account...and I'm lovin' it! Not one mess-up yet...not even with a news announcement that made the market jump like crazy. The exact SL and TP sometimes is off by 1 or 2 pips, but this could be caused by the spread changing.

Quoting ecforex

Yes, I noticed that!--as opposed to the regular pending orders which have to be 5 or more pips away from price. That is truly amazing and helped me enter trades closer to the reversal candle.

That would make this indicator amazing! I know the Artemis Sitter is updated every-so-often...because these EAs that scale out often have bugs that cause them not to work, or not to scale out at the right time. That was one interesting point for me with the Artemis...because the creator says he updates it when any bugs are reported and it's had something like 10 updates since it was first created. But if your friend could have 3 exits built into this one--that would be very nice indeed! Even if they are simple exits at specific pip counts (not complicated scale out options that follow MAs or other indicators)...that would totally make this my go-to EA on all trades! First TP at 20, 2nd at 30 and 3rd at 50...or something like that. In my back testing more than 50% of my trades would make it to 30 pips and another 20% or so would make it to 50%. About 10-15% would make it past the 50 mark.

Just a heads up here for the AUD_USD
Taking us out to the Weekly chart, also shows up on the Daily too.
Kind of an extended HS pattern that bears (pun intended) watching.
China is tightening banking requirements which intern will slow their business market. Australia is dependent on the Chinese for their business. This may have a negative affect on there currency.
Although this is a longer trade please notice my entries were per CH rules regarding Stoch's direction with an additional entry after market retrace.
Will keep all posted as to the eventual outcome win or loose.
Trade well...pips to all,
Cliff

Thanks ECFOREX. I'm am loving this EA ... the ability to move your SL % TP line manually with the mouse is what has always appealed to me about the Dealbook 360 trading platform. I have the EA set up to place the SL 35 and TP 20 like CH works with and then adjust them to technical positions - big numbers - S/R - fibs
Thanks again

E,

I may be new here and not know who you are if you are actually somebody of significance but you sure do come off as arrogant. From how you write you act as if you are the only person on Earth who ever studied charts for hours on end and you never pass up a chance to mention it and push it in everyone's face like it is supposed to make you better than everyone else. Maybe you should check your ego at the door just like you told everyone to check their guns at the door when you started this ego serving thread.

Hi Guys,

I've been reading this thread and loved it.

I have an EA that makes trading so easy - AND INVISIBLE TO BROKERS...

Just save it under experts folder.

I have set ctrl+E as hotkey .. so it's easy to run.

After you ran the EA ... place horisontal line where you want to trade and call it:
ss - for sellstop
sl - for selllimit
bs - for buystop
bl - for buylimit.

It stay invisible until trade ... and then keep stoploss and takeprofit invisible as horisontal lines.

Enjoy

Hi Kolin,

It is not my EA at all .. I just uploaded it because it makes my life so easy placing trades and INVISSIBLE STOP LOSS AND TAKE PROFIT

I found brokers to go for vissible stop losses ... if they are in close proximity ...

And SL and TP is so easy to move ... even stop orders ... just ove the line ... it is like ON CHART TRADING !!! but INVISSIBLE all the time .. until trade is executed ..

Hi Pardy,

The nice thing about this EA, is that it is easy to add whatever alert you need ...

It is all controlled by external paramaters which u can change.

I modified the fractal alert to show TOP FRACTAL Alert only when High is less then SMA20 ... to indicate pull backs ... same with LOWER FRACTAL .. it will only alert if above the SMA20 ... once again to indicate pullback ..

I will attach it here ... remember I just did the modifications ... it is not my indi

Mike 22,

Sorry if your offended and I certainly did not intend to come off arrogant in this thread. I started it with the sole intention of helping others.

There are a mass of new traders on FF AND MANY DON'T KNOW WHATS REQUIRED TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE LONG RUN. I try to emphasize those things over and over until they finally ring a bell. Early on often discussing my short comings and how I over came them... while still working on current ones. I learn and grow more each day by studying the market.

Every one is welcome here. If your not happy I suggest you start your own thread or like post #1 said..."Move On". It's impossible to please everyone and again... I'm sorry it offended you... however...

Hope you'll join us and prosper.

Mike22...really??? You need to chill or at least consider getting back on your meds.
Eelfranz, has never come off the way you are describing/bashing him. He has always been straight forward with this project and what he feels it takes to succeed.
You've only been a member here at FF since Sept. 2009. You have posted 5 times and 3 of those are to complain or trash somebody. Not a great start for someone that intends to learn from others, Sir.
Eelfraz, has extended the olive branch as it were...
You owe him a genuine apology big time.
My hope is that your man enough to do that and indeed to stick around and prosper.
See you in the trenches.
