The PriceCrossCoral exists in v1.132, in v1.134 it's replaced with PriceCrossMA and since v1.134 doesn't have a user guide yet, you don't have a manual about it.
v1.134 seems to have some bugs so if you want to activate PriceCrossCoral, put your setting in front of PriceCrossMA in v1.134, but you should do these as well:
MA_Trend=False
MA_Setting_Current_Period:
MA1Period1=60
Thanks for reply, actually I Had an idea to use it as a stop loss, looks like perfect stop loss point to me. Is there anything in v1.134 to make it use coral as a stop loss ?? Thanks

You can use the second digit as exit point:
PriceCrossMA= 0100 (closed candle on current TF)
PriceCrossMA= 0200 (unclosed candle on current TF)
For any other TF use the forth digit, like:
010M15 (closed candle)
020M15 (unclosed candle)
Don't forget to put MA_Trend to False and MA1Period1 to 60

If you want to use it just for the stoploss, active TrailingStopDisablesExit, and put a trailing stop, once you are in profit and trailing starts, if price crosses the MA it doesn't exit the trade, if the use of TrailingStop gets you out of the trade so soon then you can have a good setting with the use of TrailingStop, TrailingStart, TrailingStep, Breakeven, and LockProfit.

As far as I've tested it, on 1min the 65EMA would be better for exit, check it visually and you'll know, remember that all MA's in EA are Exponential and applied to Close, so when you want to check it visually you should have Exponential and apply to Close. And at first try to use it with closed candle.
Good Luck

It's from 17th January
I test this day because half of the day it's good example of a trend market and half of the day it's a ranging market.
I'll show the result on some other days.
If you have any specific date in mind, tell me.

real time test! that should be placed for real time test for the next week! if you want I can host MT4, only one out of 5 of test files made it to the end of the week with positive results. Will post results after market closes,

January 26th
I picked this date because Tread said it's a ranging one, I guess he was right.

surprisingly yes... my files had some profit yesterday which they blew today, and default M5 was not that profitable yesterday but very profitable today, so I guess I will have to play around on the weekends

I want to use 2 MA's on current time-frame, I put MA_Trend to True, and I put my 2 MA's setting in MA1Period1 and MA2Period1, and all other MA's to 0, like this:
MA1Period1=20
MA2Period1=40
MA3Period1=0
MA4Period1=0
MA5Period1=0
and it didn't work.
So I thought maybe all MA's should have value and I did like this:
MA1Period1=20
MA2Period1=40
MA3Period1=41
MA4Period1=42
MA5Period1=43
Now it seems to be working but I want to know if there is any other way to do so.
And how other MA's on first upper time-frame and second upper time-frame, work?

this is what i'm talking about when saying that Strategy Tester gives unreliable results which are different from real time, see the attached screenshot ... same settings same dates and every tick model

When I activate the MA_Trend, the other two upper time-frame MA's get active, and I don't know how to disable those.

Hey I search the tread and I might find the answer:
http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=3433
I'm going to test it.
But this may disable two upper time-frames and still I don't know how to use just two MA's of current time-frame, not all five.

I'm using it like this now and it seems to be working, but if anyone knows any other way please tell me, because in this way I can't use PriceCroossMA anymore and I can't use min/max CrossMApips indeed, I wish Tread come back soon.
MA1Period1 = 1
MA2Period1 = 2
MA3Period1 = 3
MA4Period1 = 65
MA5Period1 = 95

MTF2ePeriod = 5
MA1Period2 = 1
MA2Period2 = 2
MA3Period2 = 3
MA4Period2 = 65

MTF3ePeriod = 15
MA1Period3 = 1
MA2Period3 = 2
MA3Period3 = 3

I'll be back on the 14th, the good news is that i had already fixed it, along with giving the option of configuring the MA's (Open, Close, ..... SMA, EMA, LWMA).

I just need to spend a couple of hours tiding it up, i post it by the 15th.
