I'm confused which exit on cross are we setting to false?

The Dynamic one or the static one?

Currently I have both exit on Dynamic and Static set to true

As I had said earlier, I am trying out a new settings (which is slightly different from my previous posting) so that I expect the EA to place a trade on the second color bar. And it did but with other considerations.

I am putting up another chart after this, and should you combine the other 2 two in one charts poster earlier, you can see the shortfall for an early entry.

Finally a happy ending.

After a roller coaster ride, EURUSD hits TP and I have to manually close USDCHF and make some profit.

Please combine the other two pictures (Good News & Bad News) in order to have a full understanding.

Hi, Seller9 and Star178,

Looks like you are doing some great work here in developing the ea and strategy. Well done and many thanks!

I have put the ea with Star178 recent set file on around 15 pairs M15 TF.
I am trying to understand the strategy and hope I can contribute with some ideas. I have not read through all the thread yet and I was wondering if someone could point me to an explanation of the settings, maybe there is a pdf?

Also I have tried to run the ea through strategy tester but found it only traded once. I noticed a 'Trade Once' setting and have tried true and false to get the ea to backtest, but with no joy. Can someone advise me how to back test this ea, I know forward testing is better, but I can try out different ideas first via backtesting.

"UseDynamicTDIcrossClose"

This only determines if you will use the Dynamic or Static TDI signal for the close on close of a reverse cross of the TDI.
true = Dynamic
false = Static
Dynamic is real time and static waits for the close of the candle.

"TdiCloseONcross"

Set this to true if you want the trade to close on a reverse cross of the TDI. Must be true if you want to use this feature.

The original strategy uses just the cross of the TDI and the slope and could include the Stochastics. By turning off the other triggers this EA will function like that, but I would only use it in the "Alert Mode" if doing that. The trader also looks at other things when evaluating the chart, even though he may not be aware of it he does. Support/Resistance/BRN/Divergence/etc. The EA doesn't have the advantage of seeing these, unless they are added to the code, if it follows just these first three rules it will not have as good a success rate as the trader who sees these other items, so other rules need to be added to help it out if you want it to be a stand alone, "ALMOST", EA.

At this time traders in this forum are trying different combinations of time frame and settings to see which work the best and maybe with some tweaking of the code get as close to a stand alone EA as possible.

Once we have reached that point some of the options may be able to be removed to streamline the EA.

Good Luck

how do I stop it trading on candle 3? I'm using star's set file, but I often see TDI crosses happen on candle 1 and the EA doesn't enter the trade until candle 3.

This has got to be wrong.

I am using Star178 template and for some reason EA didn't take any single trade in 24 hours.
I was watching 4 pairs in M15 and I saw few trade that should have happened. It closed my manually open trades though.
Any advise?
