Universal MA Cross EA by Firedave

Pls check again...
The EA has an option to take a "counter-trend" trade. This will be available if we set the EA to use the third MA. Is that what you mean?

Do you know why version 1.1 isn't opening trades the way it should. It did open one trade last week on eurgbp, and closed for a loss this week. But this week on e/u i'm getting this in the experts tab....

Using IBFX live. Neither eur/usd or eurgbp will open this week.

Reasons,

Ibfx 5 digit on live accounts this week?
Ibfx changing how stop orders are used?
My version 1.1?

thx,
todd

Ok per IBFX support.... i'm being told that that new rule about not being able to open a market order with T/P or S/L orders at same time. Being told the EA would have to be modified to have at least a 1 second delay after opening the order before it placed the TP and SL orders. Of course the gentleman didn't seem to really sound too confident about what he was saying either.

Make sence anyone?

thx,
todd

Of course it does, as IBFX switch to 5 digits and acting like ECN type

of broker now (thought they're really not) and in that case.. Position

(trade) need to be taken first and then modified with SL/TP..

Don't bother too much cause this EA sucks anyways.. Just another

account buster

Thx for the reply SkyzerFX.

I did have good results backtesting and would like to forward test it. Guess I'll have to pay someone to adjust the code.

thx,
todd

Thank you for this EA! This would be a great addition to my system!

Last six month! It's still work fine.

Hi, Monmak!

Are you making real money with this thing?

If you do... Please spare us your sets file or your settings here, if you dont mind...

No I am not.

It's just a backtesting. I dont use EA for live trading, but here is a best EA I've ever test

I wanna know why you don't trade with EMA system instead of NonlagMA

Honestly I do...
I trade EU M5 to make money using very simple EMA_STOCH-MACD-RSI from default indi inside MT4. My sistem is much like The Force M5 thread you can find it here in FF.

I trade NLM to test it for awhile with my testing account. Doing very good so far...

This MA looks great.

My backtesting on 3Q of 2010 achieved great profits in these settings:

EUR/USD @ H1 for EMA 24 and EMA 36.
EUR/CAD @ H1 for EMA 24 and EMA 36.
GPB/USD @ H4 for EMA 24 and EMA 36.

Take note that not all currencies can achieve profits with these EMA settings.

Is there a way to modify this EA to have 2 SMA that are the same value with one of them haveing a shift vale. I would want it to take a trade only on the open of a candle that is above or below both MAs.

Or has anyone seen such a EA?

Thanks,
Easy

What happened to this thread? Does anyone have latest testing figures? I am so technologically challenged that I need to learn how to backtest using an EA!!

is not accurate run it live to see how it does

What happened to this thread?

Hi guys, I am demo trading with a 5 digits broker and the ea is capable to open trades only if I put no sl, no tp and no trailing stop. Does any one know about this problem? I cannot use it like this, works fine on a 4 digits broker but not on 5 digits broker. I am looking for a good programmer to fix this for me, I will pay. Please let me know ASAP.

Hi,

I plan to use this EA to close a trade instead of opening one. How do I go about it?

TIA.

Hi, do you mean you are looking to use this ea to close orders that you opened manually? If is that is what you are looking for I think you need a script, not an ea. If you meant to say that you want to use just the exit strategy I do not know if is possible, but maybe a programmer can do it. I think at list would take some serious modifications but I am not a programmer and my opinion is not relevant in this case. Thanks

Yes, exactly what I meant.

I want to open a trade manually, and let an EA or script close it for me, after 2 MA crossed in the opposite direction.

Why would you want open orders manually if the universalMAcross ea can do it for you much more precise than you can do it manually? the entry strategy of this ea is perfect. You can use two moving average crosses and a third trend confirmation cross ma if you want to. Also is more precise due to the point that you can adjust the settings to open some pips after the cross. Works on all time frames precisely. You will never be able to be more precise than the ea, at list to enter a trade, that is if you are using a moving average indicator witch you already confirmed you are. Anyway if you are not using ma indicator to enter an order I think you need a programmer to code an ea for you. I am sorry, but I do not know any scrip or ea capable to do that, you will probably need a costume made script for you. You can post a project on freelancer.com, but beware, to delete the project you need to pay five dollars, the programmers will keep emailing you. Also that is what the trailing stops are for, exit a trade, you can use whatever size trailing stops you want, 15 pips, 25,35...and also costume trailing stops, depends on your broker, ask how the costume trailing stops works, on my broker works really fine, if I want to use different TS like 30 pips, would work fine and the stop starts trailing on 30 pips positive. Good luck, take care.
