Any coders from the UK?

Hey Slimcat

i have already posted v3

on the 25th

pls look back and you'll find it

hi hawk, that's weird never saw that post before!

mines working fine now too.

so, having seen how it's working i have noticed that the tp is set as soon as the trade is entered. I don't think this will be profitable in this state.

I have included a screenshot of where the ea should tp.
this may be difficult to code however.

the tp is a moving target , so as the ma's move the tp moves with it until the point at which the price meets the upper offset ma (for a long trade)

whatcha think?

cheers Slim

Hey Slimcat

what i think?

well i thought the same thing

here is v4

have fun

Hawk,

here is a screenshot of the euro comparing entries on a 4hr standard chart of the euro and a 50 pip range bar chart.
range bars win more often.

Do you know how to run range bars with an ea in the tester or is this impossible as the range bars are created with a script?

you're a star aint cha

nice one mate, were on the same page

Hi Guys,
Interesting. You will need to forward test as backtests on renko/range bars are supposed to be very inaccurate.

BTW, how do I get the offset ma on my chart? Thanks

Pardy

hi pardy,

just add the ma's you want, right click to get the properties box up, click on level tab and add one - and one +, experiment to see which ones you prefer.

cheers Slim

Hi,

Finally I have found the way to get these ea's to work in the tester but there seems to be a bit of a problem ie they don't take trades where they should.

Could some one take a look at the code on v2 or v3

Conditions for entry is for example: using ema 3 and ema 5

buy: ema 3 is greater than ema 5 and price is x pips below ema 3
vice versa for sell.

take profit and stop loss is variable but looking at 15 pips for both.

I have enclosed samples of where the ea should take the trades, one from 1999 and one from last friday on cable.

I can't see why this should not work?

Thanks to anyone who can help me, the original coder has not been on the forum since end of september.

Thanks Slim

Hey Slimcat

i got email notification about this post
i am still around just very very buzy

pls do more testing and specify precisly what ea does wrong
as i wont have time to test it myself

once i know what needs to be fixed i'll sort it out

hi hawk, glad you are still around.

Well, i've tried to understand why the ea (v3) is placing the trades incorrectly but i'm stumped, it takes some and not others, tp is hit on the chart but the trade gets stopped out????

Perhaps it just doesn't work on range bars.

I will test it on standard time frame charts to see for sure that it is placing trades where it should.

Will update you when i've done more testing

cheers Slim
