ecforex,
Sweet little EA you've proveded here... Just had my first chance to use it...
Even though it is bank holiday here in U.S., and market is slow, London now closed.
Picked up +4 pip scalp of EURUSD 1 min TF...was so easy to adjust for PA...
Stoch's had just turned over, pointing to 4 oclock...
Probably should have waited for 3rd push up after hitting Mid Range Num.
But... that's trading.
Thanks much.
Cliff

I'll throw it out here but why didn't you wait until 12min later? No draw down, stoch @ 5 oclock, an easy 10pips!

That's the market... never know exactly...could have continued higher even...in which case I would have averaged back down...but as I just wanted to test that cool Easy EA...couldn't help myself.
In all reality I shouldn't even bother trading on a day like today after early London session.
Good point, John. Glad to see someone's looking out for me.

Make sure your options are set like this.
CCE,

I finally got it in my Experts folder. Thanks for the help. Now I have got to figure out how to use it. I'm new to this type of trading. Where do you set the SL and TP levels? I see that I'm getting the on my chart when it is active. What then? Does it start working when I place a trade? I don't see any lines pop up on my chart.

Thanks again

You can either use it to place your trades...by first placing a horizontal line at the level you want the trade to initiate (which acts like a stealth pending order..."stealth" because the broker doesn't even know you have a pending order). You double-click on the horizontal line, then right-click on it and go to properties...and in the description change the name to ss or bs (sell stop or buy stop...or sl/bl)...and that's it. Once price hits your horizontal line, the trade will initiate (if the smiley face is on...which means the EA is working).

The other way you can use it is to enter your trade manually (I always use F9 to enter trades)...once the trade is initiated, the EA will take c/o the SL/TP. You can change your SL/TP 2 ways; 1) hit F7 (short cut for the EA), and change the numbers right in there and hit OK twice; or 2) you can drag the newly placed horizontal lines that say SS/BS Stop/Profit and that will move your stealthed SL/TP instantly...very nice!

Hope that helps,
Neo

Hi Neo (and/or any others coders),

I just tried out the fractal alert indi and the arrows sit too low - covering the extremes of the candle... closer than the default MT4 fractal indicator, and a bit annoying.

I saw that you edited the code to raise the 123's in the semaphor indicator a short time ago and was wondering if you knew which line to edit in order to space out the up and down arrows for the fractal alert. I looked through the code, but didn't find anything that worked.

Appreciate the help.

The only way to have it keep your desired SL/TP each time is to add the EA to your template. Once on your chart, the EA will keep the same SL/TP and lot size each time you use it. Apart from that, contacting the creator of the EA would be the only way I could think of to permanently change it.

Kind Regards

I don't have the time right now to do this in the Fractal indie, but this code should work to move the signals/arrows (or whatever it is that this indi plots on your chart)...to sit higher above the candles:

extern int delta = 10;

If there is a section called "input parameters" in the indie (once you have it open in the MetaEditor), you would input that line (above) as the first line on top any other lines in that section.

Hope that works for you.

Best Regards

FWIW, I have 2 live accounts with 2 different brokers and 1 demo account with another broker. The demo account with the other broker is simply to get signals with different end-of-day candles (and not having a Sunday candle), etc. If you have more than one monitor, you can use multiple monitors to use your charts for signals while entering your trades on your live broker.

Best Regards

Thanks for the response Neo..
I tried your suggestion, as well as a few other ideas, but wasn't able to move the arrows....
Anyway, the most important thing is that the indicator works as it's supposed to, which it does...
but thanks again for the suggestion
