Pablitto was kind enough to upload the files to Rapidshare, and I would appreciate it if you downloaded the ticks from there.

Hi Ronald,
Just a quick question. Any reason why "Previous indicator's data" and "First indicator's data" are not in the MA Apply-to options?
Would be great if they were...hint hint...
Thanks for a great EA.

MQL doesn't allow for that.

There are more difficult ways to do it, but I would have to code in every single indicator.

This EA works great- Many Thanks.

I have one small request-- a way to limit the email alerts to maybe 3 at a time -- currently it pounds the server till it fills up and then rejects the next signal.

My Journal error is:

Mail: '[Signal Alert]'Failed
Mail:450 4.3.2 and see(http://portal.gmx.net/serverrules )

Recalculate the MA at the time of entry. You'll see that the MA did in fact cross. If you want to wait for the end of the bar to confirm, set EachTickMode to false.

OK turned eachtick to false to see how it reacts.

just for experiment purpose I put

MA1Period -1
MAShift -0
MA1Method-0
MA1Price -0
MA1Crossbuffer -5

MA2Period 13
MA2Shift -0
Ma2Method-0
MA2price-0

that look ok now?

thx for the help with this experiment. I trade higher frames but 1m allows me to test faster.

Not sure if you meant for this, but with CrossBuffer = 5, MA1 needs to be MA2 + 5 pips or more for long or MA2 - 5 pips for short.

I backed the crossbuffer down to 3 on the fast 5m chart just to make sure the market moved +3 pips long and -3 short. Saves a few fake out trades.

The fast ma cross up over the slow ma seems to be working perfect.

Its when the Fast ma cross's down the slow (1,13sma) that it seems to be placing orders in weird spots or later than -3 pips.

I do have tickmode on false and that took out a lot of bad trades when price is coiling (flat). thank you for that

Anyway look below and see if its something I'm doing wrong still. I don't normally trade like this but its the fastest way to test the EA

I hope your enjoying your vacation.
Much respect.http://myimgs.net/images/lvqa.gif

I think the MA1 is causing problems. Need to double check. In the mean time, this version will take a screenshot of the chart at the time of a trade if enabled. The screenshot will be saved in [metatrader folder]expertsfiles[expert name] [expert pair] [expert timeframe] [buy or sell] [OrderTicket] [Timestamp]

Set ScreenShots to True to enable this.

We'll see what happens.

ok I screwed something http://myimgs.net/images/ywer.gifup now. This thing is trading backwards now??? I tried deleting it out of the experts folder and reinstalling it but that did not work.
I may have to delete every chart. I'm not running any other EA on this computer.

wait a second. I think I have that reverse signal set to true so that might be why its trading back wards.

I just want it to close and reverse on opposite signal that is set to true.

Its time for bed. head hurts cant do this now.
Sorry i'm a pain in the butt RR

Hi RR,

Thank you for your generous efforts.
I have been testing with various permutations and combinations.

Its working well so far.

Do you already have a code written for the EA to open trades only between specific hours eg 3 to 11 EST or something like that.

Would help in filtering out some trades when there is less movement.

Keep up the good work !!! Cheers!!!

hey Ronald, thanks for the Range Rover (RR...get it...lol) of ma cross ea's. i am working on some additional filters, i was wondering if it would be possible for you to add them to the ea once they are done?

thanks

Ronald, excelent EA congratulations, I'm testing it and works terrific .

I just want to ask you if it would be possible to make a slight modification, I'm used t trade when price crosses both MAs not when MA cross each other.
Regards and thank you
