Yet Another Moving Average Crossover System - The EA
ok, I have loaded the LG EA using the LG template.
I have changed the ECN setting to true every thing else is as ootb defult
on the pair chart up loaded there is a red dot in the middle of the chart.
If I place the mouse on it I get the following
#654434 sell stop 0.03 USDJPY AT 77.995
easy order (8051)
77.99
any thoughts on what this means or how to get rid of it?
there are no open orders in the terminal panel
odd thing was usdjpy was not loaded or on my market watch panel
will this EA work on gold and silver?
thanks for all the work that has gone into this EA

Forex can only be understood backwards, but it must be traded forwards.

Sorry i havent been in touch with regards to the EA, work have updated our infrastructure so i cannot connect to my home pc any more 
but i am working on it!
Ok to clear things up, Steve wrote the Hanover module for the Hanover EA. He then started implementing in all his EAs including a simple MA Cross EA, it was very basic more of proof of concept. I took this and made it work with jiva34's 5min open/close system. I added all the MPTM features Steve usually adds as required, i added the option to close on opposite signal, the trend detection is from his generic EA but i left Hanover in there to test. I then setup the entry signals and i think it is best if i list them so we can make sure they are correct and also optimum.
So based on Lawgirl21's system you need 4:1 or 6:1 tf to check on. So i have coded it so you put the EA on the chart you want to monitor the trades on, LG said she uses H1 so that is how the default settings are fixed. So drop on H1 chart and for long trades it will check for a cross up on the H1 and cross up on the M15 (ma tf 2) and will check the trend direction is up if using trend direction and if Hanover on it will check for relative is in correct direction (see the thread for details). For short trades the reverse is true. I found that i had to make the cross on ma tf 2 still show direction if the gradient was in the correct direction as the cross may have occurred. However on rereading the thread it may be better to set ma tf2 to H1 and use ma tf as M15 so as long as higher tf is in right direction and then cross occurs on lower tf it then enters. Though at the moment i have have 4 winners and currently 2 losers but i have not added any sl to them and they have been left unattended!
In the code the ReadIndicatorValues() routine has the check for crosses and LookForTradingOpportunities() has the actual triggers. Currently the EA checks every tick but could be made to look for entry on bar close if required, the LookForTradeClosure() routine is called every tick what ever and currently only checks if CloseOnOppositeSignal is selected or if in stealth mode the hidden SL or TP are hit.
Also, if Hidden Pips is > 0 then lines appear on chart at HiddenPips distance from entry and they can be moved to desired location (i haven't tested this but it supposedly works in the Aurora EA).
I hope this helps

I have had the EA set on a demo account on four pairs for over 24 hours and have not had any trades opened. OOTB, I am assuming means all defaults except what you have mentioned above?
Should trades have been opened? If so, in your trade terminal window, click on the Experts tab. If things are awry, there'll (hopefully) be messages explaining why. Mine sat for a couple hours doing nothing and when I finally checked there, sure enough, I'd renamed the AllAverages indi so naturally the EA couldn't open it and therefore get on with its duties. EAs are very particular about their information.
Let us know and I'm sure we can get it figured out.

Well, I checked the code and it is normal the EA take a very few trades (or take no trades at all).
The EA looks for a cross in current TF and higher TF and the same time.
It almost nerver happens.
You should look X bars back for the last cross a set that value.
here is the function I use in my EA :
Use that one too 
Cheers,

PHP Code
void getPreviousCrossHigh() { int backBars = 1000; for(x=0;x<=backBars;x++) { Higher_FastMaVal = GetMa(hTF, 3, 0, 2, 0, 0+x); Higher_PrevFastMaVal = GetMa(hTF, 3, 0, 2, 0, 1+x); Higher_SlowMaVal = GetMa(hTF, 8, 0, 2, 0, 0+x); Higher_PrevSlowMaVal = GetMa(hTF, 8, 0, 2, 0, 1+x); if (Higher_FastMaVal > Higher_SlowMaVal && Higher_PrevFastMaVal < Higher_PrevSlowMaVal) { higher_cross = up; break; } if (Higher_FastMaVal < Higher_SlowMaVal && Higher_PrevFastMaVal > Higher_PrevSlowMaVal) { higher_cross = down; break; } } }
Cheers,
