Trading Made Simple EA by Guess Whom

The EA opened 4 trades this morning, 2 hit the TP and the other 2 I closed as they were in profit and it was at the end of my trade window. I like to close things down for the day at 12 EST if they are in any profit and then get ready for the next London session.
The EA was set running on 9 pair last evening and I then went to bed and let it do its thing and I didn't check on it untill 12 EST when I closed the open trades and reset the Robot for the next London session. I may not get all the pips possible, but a nice even positive pip count works...
Nice work !!!

You seem to have this EA humming along. I would appreciate a little guidance. I have put the EA on an OANDA demo account. lot size .01 on USDCHF, GBPUSD, and AUDUSD. The EA has been turned on since the opening at 5 pm EST yesterday - with no trades. In re-reading the thread I noticed that the setting for the "criminals ECN" can make a difference. My settings were set to false, which I think was default. Just a few miutes ago I set the criminals ECN to "true".

I read the original thread with regard to preferred times and see that...
I had the same thing happen to me untill I changed the criminals ECN to "true" and then it worked.

Hi, Steve. Why don't use the basic logic of "Trade Made Simple" in your EA?

I realize that you made coding changes (which I look forward to seeing!). did you make any other changes to the base EA settings ?

Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

PS" That dashboard is great.
Look back a few and you will see where I posted a Screen Shot that shows what I am presently using to trigger a Buy or Sell. The codeing for these is just a little different than the original. I also have added code so the EA will only take one trade and then needs to be reset if you want it to take another. My goal is to just be able to set it with a fixed TP and SL and and let it go on its own. I get it all set up and then go to bed and it will start trading at 2 AM EST and stop sending trades at 12 noon EST. After it stops looking for new trades after that period it will still close the trade on the preset TP or SL that were sent to the Broker when the trade was opened. Most of the time the TP is hit on the first or second candle into the trade because it is fairly conservative from 19 to 42 pips depending on the pair. If I happen to take a look at the open trades while they are in progress and see one that looks like it could be a runner I may change the TP with the broker to get more pips. Also at 12 noon EST I look at all the open trades and close the ones in profit and reset the Robot so it is ready for the next London open. If any are in draw down I may watch them and look for a chance to get out at Break Even, if they look like they are going no where I may close them with a small loss, so far I haven't had to do this.
At this time I am able to close a trade when the SL I sent the broker is hit, when the TDI goes flat, or when the TDI crosses in the opposite direction. Right now I have only the reverse cross turned on, but so far with only a couple days of testing none of these have been hit, but I have closed a couple with a couple pips of profit around the 12 noon time. The only thing that still pops up some times is the Broker Busy error, causing me to miss some trades, but I am trying different things to see if I can get it to send the trade again if this happens.

On my Penney Live account durring my last tarding session the Robot managed to open 4 trades and made $4.40 using a Lot of 0.01. As I feel more confident with it I will start increasing the lot size and maybe also increase the TP set point.

On a demo account, durring this same session, the EA also took 4 trades for a profit of $12.31 with a lot size of 0.01.

Strange thing is, these accounts are at different Brokers and the Live account took trades on EURUSD, AUDUSD, USDCHF, GBPJPY.
The demo account at a different Broker took trades on GBPUSD, EURJPY, USDCHF, USDJPY. This may be do to the Busy Error as I believe there were 6 trades all together at each Broker, where 2 got Busy signals. Not sure, next time I will see if they are both the same. I have noticed in the past that the same EA may take a trade at one Broker but not the other, as there is a difference of one hour between candle starts at these two brokers.

Time to go to bed and let the EA do its thing, be back in the morning.

These trades are all on the H4 time frame.

Hello, I'm interested in this EA, excellent indeed, but I want to know somethig before run it on live; this EA close the current trade and opens a new one if gets an opposite signal? I mean for example there is a long trade away from TP and SL yet, and market changes to short,that long trade is closed (winer or looser) and a new short opened?

I have also tested this EA and i could say it is working well.
But the only issue i have with it is that .. when it opens a trade and it is in profit and SL is moved.. when it comes back and hit the SL and the trade is closed.
It immediately opens another one automatically,which often results in a losing trade.
Can this be kindly corrected by the author or anybody here please.

Thanks for the help.

This is one of the main reasons why I stop using this. I could not find out how to stop this.

Try this, I added a selection, when set to true will only let the Robot take one trade. To reset just open and close the EA properties and you will get a box that will ask you if you want to start the Robot again.

For an Open Buy Order if the Low of the previous candle is greater than the OrderStopLoss and Orderprofit is greater than or equal to 0, the StopLoss will be moved to the previous Low.

For an Open Sell order if the previous candle High is less than the OrderStopLoss and Orderprofit is greater than or equal to 0, OR OrderStopLoss equals 0, the StopLoss will be moved to the previous high.

I know this is a very basic question but I don't know the answer. I put v2 in the experts folder, reopened MT4, and it's now showing in Experts. So far, so good. However, it's gray. I put it on a chart anyway and I'm getting a smile. This can't be right, can it?

When you have the compiled .ex4 file (not the source code which is in the .mq4) then it is greyed but still works. Greyed just means you can't edit it.

If you use the .mq4 instead it will work as you expected.

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone could check this out and see if it could be coded in this or another EA.
There is TDI that shows the angle of curve or the angle of the cross when the Green crosses the Red.
I noticed this EA at present makes a trade immediately at the cross,which often times turns back or becomes a bounce trade.
so if this can be modified that a trade can be taken at a certain angle ( say 4 or 4.5) ,this will invariably be the Second candle that Big E uses as a rule.

What do you guys think.

Thanks again.

Cheers.
It Is Well With My Soul..(Amen)
