Maybe can add an option to allow Mon and Fri trading turned off
Good idea. Will do.

Taking a look at this one now.
Remember it is not taking entries correctly.

Added this whilst I was thinking about it. It will be part of the next version, once I have sorted out my entry logic bloop.

Now I have spent some time getting around your code ill take a look tonight and see what we can do.

to fix the logic flaw, we need to keep track when 4SMA crossed 133SMA and when 4SMA crossed 222SMA. all 4SMAs between these two crosses must either below 22SMA for crossing up setup or above 222SMA for crossing down setup.

Does this make sense?

I think I have everything working now - ds behaved as expected in a visual backtest. There may be a few bugs still lurking in the woodwork; we shall see.

Updated EA, user guide and template all in post 1.

dsugums, can you suggest a maximum channel depth suitable for a robot? Current default is 30.

ds took a demo trade with pinpoint accuracy just over an hour ago.

Then immediately closed it because it was the wrong side of the 60 LWMa.

Maybe dsugums can explain exactly how to use this filter. In the meantime, turn it off by setting SlMaTdPeriod to zero for now.

Well, the trade is beyond the acceptable trading hour zone

The LWMA should be ideally below 133 when the cross happens to be successful. Remember, we are going for 100pips home run with about 30pips stops.

Channel depth is not too important. The trade will develop eventually. Only problem is the SL will be large if using 60LWMA.

Latest update in post 1. I have added the 60 LWMA as a trade filter: it must be below the 133 for a sell, and above for a buy.

The order in which ds checks the 60 lwma needed altering, as did what it does with the information. Update in post 1.

I am not sure if the stops are being moved to break even when reach 30pips. I am not sure of 60LWMA is being used as stops as well. Oh well, not too difficult to trade single pair manually anyway

Nor am I yet. I will get there eventually.

I had an incorrect variable in this morning's update that should have prevented any trading at all.

Fix in post 1.

Have faith my friend, have faith. As you know Steve has automated so many systems with wide ranging strategies. He has so many EAs under developement and I wonder how he can cope. Sooner or later he will iron out the snags with this EA.

By the way I have been running your system`s template on 4 different pairs and I must congratulate you for creating a simple but effective trading system.:

kind regards
