Better yet ZZ, instead of deleting the post, how about taking over the coding job
This is a very simple strategy that should be pretty simple to code correctly. I think it deserves a nice ea for testing. You know you have the free time!!
I second that.

This trade not valid setup so something in the code needs a change. Price has to close above the MA then look for the next trigger candle.

Thank you in advance for what I know will prove to be a great EA. I really like the methodology here. ZZ, thanks for chipping in as well. I feel bad that the "other coder" is so bitter that he literally manages only to get in his own may, far more often than not. Anyway, looking forward to testing and helping with whatever you guys come up with. Thanks, again.

Toothman,

Doing some testing. The attached chart shows a valid trigger candle (gray dotted vline). Pending entry is 1 pip below the low of the trigger candle (red hline).

The next candle does not trigger short entry. It closes above the SMA(50).

In this situation, should the pending short be voided and should we start looking for longs?

Or, should we continue to give the short a chance (up to the 3 candle limit)?

Thanks.

Disregard gap in data...bad demo environment.

zz,
Great question. Yes, the pending short should be voided and we start looking for longs since price closed above the 50SMA. Any other questions, let me know. thank you

Please see attached EA. I thought I would send it out before the weekend so users can customize it according to their own preferences in preparation for next week. I use high resolution monitors in my setup...some users with smaller screens may want to alter the display section for their setup.

Two include files are needed:

WinUser32.mqh - I've attached my version of the file...the version that comes with MT4 may work also (I did not try it).

LibOrderReliable4.mqh - An excellent collection of order functions from this thread: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=265640.

I tested with Alpari(US) and MBTrading using M5 timeframe (EA works on any timeframe). These are both 5-digit brokers...I have no idea how the EA will perform on non-5-digit brokers. Everything seems to be working according to the system specs. Use with as many symbols as you want, but only attach to one chart per symbol - there is logic that assumes the EA is attached to one chart per symbol.

Also, I coded this with my main broker (MBTrading) in mind. For non-ECN brokers, you may need to alter some logic accordingly. Again, the source code has been provided for personal customizations.

Let me know if you have questions.

Hi zznbrm,

I just tried to use your EA, but its grayed out on my platform. Not sure what i am doing wrong.

Any thoughts? I'd love to test it out.

Thanks

Did you put the WinOrder and LibOrder in your include folder? Click experts then include. It's not greyed out on my platform.

Really appreciate this. Will have fun trying this out over the weekend. By the way, I sent my application to transfer my account to MB Trading at the beginning of this week.

awesome zz, thanks for taking the time! It's backtesting for me like a champ.

tooth:
are you still verifying your updated method vs your original with the macd+stoch filter? Was wondering how the two are comparing.

Sir,

Many thanks for this EA

Loaded it yesterday with OOTB settings

It has taken its first trade today on demo. A successful AU short which is now closed.

I put it on a couple pairs demo after some extensive backtesting, if anything nice pops up i'll report. It's a very slow trader but hopefully results will be good nonetheless.
