go back a few days and there is a consolidation with the day trend down

If we actually want to do this it will take a lot of work to put both strategies into one expert.
Perhaps we could make a separate expert for the limit strategy and try to work out the bugs.
then consider the possibilities of putting the 2 together at some point. A one cancels other kind of ea.
I think it can be done. But maybe not until the limit strategy is running nicely by itself and we are comfortable with what it can and cannot do. Where the bad trades are, etc.
I like it. I think we have something here.

I checked only the direction of D1 200sma...
You check the direction of H1 200sma and 21sma...?

jiva,

what about this chart?

D1 200sma down, H1 200sma down, H1 21sma down
On the chart pending order is set when candle closes, but even with expire 1 candle the result would be loss.

previous trade...
D1 200sma down, H1 200sma down, H1 21sma down

from my previous post, 4 consecutive losses....

Okay your original screenshot #320 was for September. The sma200 and sma 21 were indeed up and so no limit sells.
these last screen shots are from June #326. Let me see what is going on.

There is something else to consider also.
If both stop and limit strategies were in the same ea, there will be another factor at play. Which strategy is activated, in other words which signal is generated first...
If bad trades for one strategy are indeed overridden by the signal for a good trade.
It may be that signals for both strategies are generated at the same time, in that case no trade... One of the signals may be good but which one? No trade would be the safe way to go.

the first sell limit would not have been filled
the second was a bad trade
21 ema rather than 21 sma would have avoided the bad trade.

looks like 21 ema may be better than 21sma.

Again the bad the bad trades would have been avoided.

yes...

I checked 21ema instead of 21sma....
No entry point from Jan. 1st....

I can put some time into this today. Am looking at some other angles also.

Hi jiva34,

any news on this topic (hope, you don't abandon your Dragon ) ?

There are some serious issues about to hit the proverbial fan.
US lawmakers have just passed bill in Congress that now makes it illegal for US residents to hold forex accounts with brokers outside the US. Unbelievable but true!! In a "free" country.
US brokers cannot issue more than 50:1 leverage and must adhere to FIFO and not allow hedging.
I shall have to see how to adjust to these new roadblocks. And what that will mean for using an ea.
these changes will start going into effect over the next month or so. It may be other countries will follow this standard after some time.
We have not abandoned the dragon. On the contrary I am digging deeper into applications and am having some amazingly good results.
Not ready to post yet. Still experimental.

As if often the case, by giving things a bit of a rest, and experimenting with this and that, whatever, a new angle of vision has emerged for jivadragon.
I have been manually trading with good measure of success by always trading in the direction of trend. As tempting as counter trend can be, I have avoided trading pullbacks, they are very unpredictable and can be quite shallow with huge risk.
By making sure the trend on the higher time frame is in tact, even an entry is not quite right eventually the trend resumes. Very elementary, however in spur of the moment it is very easy to jump in to try to catch quick gains, only to find oneself trapped in a runaway trade in the wrong direction.
Out of curiosity I set the expert on all time frames for the 10sma. Taiyakixz in his infinite wisdom has added an incredible multi-time frame option for up to 5 time frames with options for type of ma. (even a shift function which we have yet to even begin to experiment with) Incredible. I was completely taken aback when he surprised us with this. It has taken some time to begin to appreciate the great value.
The results of back testing EU with 10sma on all 5 time frames is great.
