Trading Made Simple EA by Guess Whom

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.
I read some place on ff that a angle can be coded and used in a EA. I do not know how to do this as I am just learning about code.

Take a look at this. The present angle and previous angle are shown at the top of the comments. Take a look and see if these would work if I put them is as a trigger also. So far they are only shown for testing purposes and don't change the way the EA trades. If you think these would work as another trigger for a trade I can add them in.

At present I am trying a bunch of different alerts to see which ones in combination will work the best. I am doing all testing on the H4 time frame.

TMA D1T = TMA trend on the daily, Up or Down
TMA Zone = Price above or below TMA center line on H4
TDI D1 = TDI on Daily, Green above or below Red line.
TDI H4C = TDI cross on the H4
TDI H1 = TDI on H1, Green above or below Red line.
TDI M15C = TDI cross on M15, for better entry.
Cnd H4 = Candle colors must be in proper order, no trade on third candle
sma5 H4 = Price above or below sma5 for long or short.
Sto H4 = Stochastics must be between 20 and 80 and either rising or falling for Long or Short.

At this time I am using all these to trigger a buy or sell. This may be over kill, but I am only looking for the best trades.

If you have any ideas as to what works for you please post them.

Hi Seller9,

This is the one that is on the forum.
The best slope angle is around 4.0 - 4.5

Thanking you.

@Seller9

I have checked the above EA/attach,but i couldn't see anywhere in there that slope angle is included.
there is no slope angle in the EA at present.What i can see in there is just Green/Red cross.
I guess that is why it is working the way it is right now.

Thanks.

N-B...
I guess if specific angle can be included,then we ca test it and see any improvement.
and it can also be tested against the one you are doing at the moment.
so we can all test and see how to improve them both.
as the wise saying goes ..two heads are better than one.

I am using a formula that appears to come up with the same numbers as in that indicator. Without the .mq4 of the indicator I can't tell wheat he is calculating with.
If you try the latest EA version I just posted it will show the angle in the comments to the left side of the chart. I have not included it in the criteria that triggers a trade as of yet. If these numbers are what you are looking for I can add it to the selection with a setting to pick what value you want to use as the trigger.

It is only shown in the comments on the left side of the chart at this time. I have not included it in the EA criteria yet. If these numbers look like they can be used I can add a setting to select them.

Try this one, I have changed the version to "v3", so we can tell them apart.

If you put 0.0 in the "UseSlope" setting it will work just like "v2".
The default is set at 4.0, slope has to be equal to or greater than the "UseSlope" setting for a trade.

Thanks for your work on this EA. I have been following along with the recent developments and trying to test myself. The latest version you posted with the slope display seems to be missing something (or I am missing something). In the manual trading thread, the originator used a slope between 12-2 for buys and between 4-6 for sells. As I look at the parameters you have provided, V3 only seems to check for slope greater than 4.

Attached is a screenshot of V3 with the TDI Red Green and the @TMS/TDI indicator that displays slope for a comparison. I only have the .ex4 so I do not have the source code to use as a reference.

Yes you are missing something.
you see the owner of the thread (Big E ) slope in TIME format which is ( 12-2 and 4-6.
Big E has a lot of experience and he can gunge the Angle very easily but it is a bit difficult for others especially newbies.
So another person (can't recollect his name at this time) now code this indicator which shows slope numerically and he found that between the number 4 and 5 (Buy/Sell) is equal to 12-2 and 4-6.
I believe i have tried to answer your question.
but if i miss anything,i hope someone with more experience can assist.

Rgrds.

The 12-2 and 4-6 referes to the hands of a clock. Not knowing how the indicator is coded I do not know if those numbers shown in your circle refere to the "Hands of a Clock" or are calculated numbers that refere to the actual slope. The 4.0 in the EA can be set to what ever you want. I believe 4 - 4.5 was the range traders were using. Anything less is not a trade.

I turned off the "Trade only durring London" so now I am just testing using 24 hours, seems like there were some trades that could have been missed. The screen shot shows a trade that just went off on the H4 chart. I am not using the slope yet but have added it to the bottom of the chart just to see what the slope was. I am also not using the TDI D1 trigger at this time also as it looks like it may filter a little to heavy.
The trade is in a little draw down at the moment, but thats normal when it first takes off.

Will see what happens, this is a Demo account.
As you can see I would have not taken this trade if I would have been using my normal trade window, as shown by the gray blocks in the screen shot.

wow a lot of post yesterday. thanks to all for your input. Yesterday (Thurdsay) I trade us open for a few hours on the 1 hour. had 2 winners and 6 losing trades. Last night I put the new ea on the 4hr tf. this morning I check and had 6 trades taken with 5 trades hit sl. I have one trade open at the moment it is +0.02.

Might be on to something with all these losing trades. if the ea can find and take even more losing trades this would be great. I would think all a person has to do is change the settings backwards and then all losing trades will be all winning trades. lol

I read somewhere of a software that does that.
It takes the EA that is doing very badly and it changes the settings backward ad it becomes profitable.

Back to this EA and system,what i noticed is that this system works with trend or Volume and you can find this Basically in London trade time and a bit of US trade time.
So when it is used at any other time other than this two,it fails.
