DislikedI hope I am not butting in here as I see there is already an EA in post 1.
xlitang pm'd me last week to ask me to code an EA. As it happens, I have just spent a couple of days coding something similar and writing a comprehensive user guide for it in preparation for release over the weekend. It has not taken long to modify the EA and the UG for this system.
See if the attached does the trick for you.

Dislikedok ok, i set up steve's EA already, was too curious about the results.
it runs on 8 pairs right now, but i often get error messages like this:
2011.09.23 11:39:32 '3249147': order buy 0.20 USDCHF opening at 0.90281 sl: 0.00000 tp: 0.00000 failed [Trade context is busy]
this means too many orders at the same time?Ignored
DislikedYes, and it is an insoluble problem when several ea's might be trying to send a trade at the same time.
Alerts such as this one are for the coder rather than the user. I have removed the alert from the EA and re-uploaded it to my previous post. The problem is still there, but you will not know about it. Frankly, in this case ignorance really is bliss.

DislikedSteve,
I know this system is simple and it's supposed to stay that way, but I've been doing a manual, visual backtest on several pairs of a method I learned in an ADX ebook called "ADXcellence" by Charles Schaap.
There, he says that for this type of short term scalping an excellent guide is the 20 EMA. If price is above this EMA, go only long. If below, go only short.
Now, if we add a minimum slope requirements for this we got an excellent filter for this type of scalping, and even though it is a filter that limits trading it's a pretty simple...Ignored
