Note to Taiyakixz:
The last email was another mistake. I was trying to send a file from one of my computers to another using hotmail and again I hit your address instead.
I know I bug the "hell" out of you. Sorry about that. I think you are probably a very quiet reserved person. But I do have to say this the ea is great. So whatever pains it took for the labor it has given birth to a great ea. It was no easy feat for you I am sure. But you've done it.
I took the liberty of removing the block of code that closed the losing trades if a candle crossed the channel.
There is no more stalling and this thing is flying. It is exactly what I had hoped for and a bit more.
Best wishes And apologies for my intrusions.
jiva...

Am posting the latest version v7.2a on first page.
No presets for it yet. Will post as soon as I have one.

v5.0 and presets will remain.

But v7.2a has a lot more going for it:

1. Candle expiration can be for as long as desired.
That will help in adjusting for capturing the big moves.

2. When a fresh signal appears the old pending order is deleted and a new pending order is placed based on the fresh signal.
That will help with avoiding getting caught in a trade in the wrong direction due to a whipsaw or spike just before a big move.

3. bug fixed and ea is now able to open 2 trades with pending set to 0 and expiration set to 0.

let the testing begin.

v5.0 settings are still running live in my account. Albeit they are very sleepy.

The settings for v7.2a are the same as for v5.0
EURCHF looks to be setting up for a short on v7.2a
The sell stop is in place. If it is executed it will open 2 positions.
1st take profit 15,
2nd take profit 1000
(so that is has room to run if it should be a significant move, with tsl 50 or stop at BE whichever comes first.
It has 1 4h candle to get executed.

Okay, it is the famous 100%-success-rate-for-the-last-12-months-trade, that does it again. But why ea is not opening 2 positions? The 2nd position is the one that would have some room to run...
maybe some problem with candle expiration set to 1.

GBPUSD has also set up a pending order (buy stop) on the 30 min
the ea has 10 candles for the buy stop to be executed before it will expire.
If it is executed the ea will open 2 positions
1st take profit 15
2nd take profit 30
stop 140 huge stop loss, but the success rate for these settings is 100% for the last 12 months.
I am looking for other settings that will allow the stop loss to be much less. But for now, 140.

v 7.2 ?
v7.2a
they're slow but they have 100% success rate last 12 mos.
I'm going to focus on finding some more of the slow but sure settings.
EVeryone has their own trading style, trading budget, risk tolerance, etc.
Skyzer is cleaning up because he has his space that he is comfortable with. I try to trade his style and I get eaten up alive.

1 lose. the highest value and entry point is closed, so it will be different by brokers.

What to do? Try more pips for pending order?
Skyzer and Sashasan are using trailing pending orders.

Interesting innovation.
Buy stops for trending mkts and buy limits for range bound.

I have an idea. to check the degree of the slope of the channel. If it is less than a certain amount consider the pair to be ranging. For the ea as it is now that would mean no trades. Just An idea. What do you think, Taiyakixz. Is this a good idea to research?
If we were to use buy limits instead of buy stops we could maybe take trades in the flat range market.
Buy stops for trending, buy limits for ranging.
Sashasan and Skyzer are testing something similar to this on their thread.

USDJPY 30 min just took a trade.
I had to close right away in my live account since I had other positions open and could not risk so much margin.
the trade is still running in the demo...

the demo just closed..
nice trade.

Here is the chart showing the problem with ea not opening 2nd position for EURCHF preset.
Only significant difference for EURCHF preset from other presets is expiration 1 candle. We used to have the problem of ea not opening 2nd position when pending was 0 and ex 0. Could expiration 1 candle be part of the problem?
Tester works fine for same preset. But in live account and in market demo no 2nd position. No error messages, ea did not try to open the second position.

The recent trade for USDJPY was fine. 2 positions opened nicely. USDJPY preset calls for expiration 3 candles.

I don't know about slope it always changes on your charts as they move.

Would a good alternative be rate of change?

It would look something like

Inserted Code
steepness = (iMA(NULL,0,extMALength2,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0) - iMA(NULL,0,extMALength2,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,extMASteepnessShift))/extMASteepnessShift;
