Generic MA Crossover Version 2 [TD]

Dear Mr Raygun
Thank you for providing this EA .

I got 2 Qs if you could help I will be very happy.
I set
EachTickMode= TRUE... CloseOnOppSignal= TRUE... MoveStopOnce= FALSE

1) I use it on 1 Hour candle. If my TProfıt 20 pips is hit , if it is still on the same candle ,the EA opens the same order again, which I dont want it . (If it is still on the same candle , if the second TProfit is hit, it opens a 3rd order, I really dont want it......)
How can I prevent the EA from opening a second.. third order on the same candle after it hits its first TakeProfit ?

2) Is it possible to alter the static Lot size to increasing Lots sizes with a Lot Multiplier ?
because keeping the same lot size Donot recover the losses . It might be very helpful IF the EA increases the Lot size itself with a multiplier , if it lost the previous order .
Thank you for reading.

With my Best Wishes for you and everyone contributing here.

Today on GBPUSD 1Hour chart , here , the EA hit its TakeProfit target and then opened a second order (which I dont want) . Second order also closed in profit. Luckily it didnot open a third order as the candle closed before it did and price then retreated.
I really like this EA and use it on Live-Real account ,this EA is simple-easy to follow for me, if a solution is found to prevent it from opening unwanted-multiple orders on the same candle that may save/keep the realized Profits from losing .
Good Luck everybody .

There should be a variable in the EA called 'TradesThisBar'

Does your version have that variable?

Hi ,
I have Generic MA Crossover Version 2 (TD) .
No , I don't have variable 'TradesThisBar' .
My settings are as in the attachments .
Thank you very much .

Should be in the code, not the settings

RR ''Should be in the code, not the settings ''

I see TradesThisBar; in several different places . Thanx .


int TradeBar;
int TradesThisBar;


//Limit Trades Per Bar
if(TradeBar != Bars)
{
TradeBar = Bars;
TradesThisBar = 0;
}

if (PlaySounds) PlaySound("alert.wav");
TradesThisBar++;

Are you sure there are multiple trades being placed in the same bar?

That particular variable tells the EA how many trades per bar were taken

RR ''Are you sure there are multiple trades being placed in the same bar?

Here is the TradeLog ;These are orders opened by the EA
#13846097 Buy opened at 10.00 and order #13847183 opened at 10.28 on
1 Hour Candle GBPUSD .
What you see is what I see .( Lot sizes , Profit hidden)


I use this EA in Real account 3-4 days/week . IF I knew why sometimes the EA opens multiple orders ,then I would be more comfortable when I am away from MT4 . But still , I like it , it has been working for me, as it is also .
I Thank you kindly for this EA , it is one of my favorites.

Hello Ron

Does the last version (posted Aug 3, 2010) open only one trade per bar??

May be this happens because is set "each tick mode= true", try with "false"
Regards

Can anyone share good settings for this EA?

Thx

Thank you for the offer .
However I trade only 1 Hour and Higher TF (Time Frames) and
I personally need the EA to enter the trade sooner than later before it is too late in these TF . I 've been currently using this EA and
I am personally happy with it ,as it is also .

Good Tradings .


extern bool EachTickMode = True;
If set to true, the EA will take a trade immediately if it sees a signal. If set to false, the EA will take a trade only if there is a signal at the end of the bar.

Is it possible to use strategy optimizer to find the best MA values on the history data?
Can you do it?

I wouldn't suggest that...its curve fitting. Buts nontheless, it sounds enticing...

Hi RR,
Was just wondering, is it possible to add a Triangular Moving Average option (where you have Simple, Exponential...etc), or is it way too late?
Thank you for your time,
Dmitry

Does any one know why i cannot backtest this EA?

It doesn't take any trades.

My broker is FXDD

I'm using Ver. 2 of the EA

My settings:
extern string Remark1 = "== Main Settings ==";
extern int MagicNumber = 16756;
extern bool SignalsOnly = False;
extern bool Alerts = False;
extern bool SignalMail = False;
extern bool PlaySounds = False;
extern bool ECNBroker = True;
extern bool TickDatabase = True;
extern bool CloseOnOppositeSignal = True;
extern bool EachTickMode = True;
extern double Lots = 1;
extern bool MoneyManagement = False;
extern int Risk = 3;
extern int Slippage = 5;
extern bool UseStopLoss = True;
extern int StopLoss = 100;
extern bool UseTakeProfit = False;
extern int TakeProfit = 60;
extern bool UseTrailingStop = False;
extern int TrailingStop = 30;
extern bool MoveStopOnce = False;
extern int MoveStopWhenPrice = 50;
extern int MoveStopTo = 1;
extern string Remark2 = "";
extern string Remark3 = "== MA1 Settings ==";
extern int MA1Period = 0;
extern int MA1Shift = 0;
extern int MA1Method = 0;
extern int MA1Price = 0;
extern int MA1CrossBuffer = 0;
extern string Remark4 = "";
extern string Remark5 = "== MA2 Settings ==";
extern int MA2Period = 0;
extern int MA2Shift = 0;
extern int MA2Method = 0;
extern int MA2Price = 0;

I'm just stopping by and taking a guess, but you have both MA values set to zero ??

Wont that make no MA at all??

Thanks Price!

That worked. Sometime it's the most easy things and it's straight in front of your eyes

No problem George. Let me know how the results go. Since this thread has been brought to my attention now, I'm gonna do some testing with it a little later. So, if I have any questions, I'll know where to go.

Dear RR,
Thank you for this free EA. Want to know if this thread is still active. And any member using this EA, kindly assist because the EA is not taking trade on my Demo . But it gives signals
regards
