MaTF = 15; MaTF2 = 1...I set it up like your post #14.
Now Results for parameters like post #14, and TP=20 and SL=20.

It is currently running on a per tick basis but could be adapted to check per bar if required.

So far this week a variety of results, what is the general consensus on how the EA should work. Lh has it working more like Lawgirl's manual system i think but saying that quite a few people have had good trades this week. I have had 3 losers and 10 winners so far but i have been messing with the code so the 3 losers are possible winners. I am running this on the same demo as jiva34's ma cross and Steve's generic ea to test the CBI module (see hanover...
Hey Mike. It's very cool that people like yourself are on the scene these days. Steve's tireless efforts have led him to what I believe is a major turning point in his 'robot journey' and to have capable coders pitching in--beyond being a tremendous help to him--is going to have a major, positive impact on our trading community here at FF. You definitely have my gratitude.

Yeah, the LG EA seems to be off to a good start and if we can get enough of us testing it, I feel it has great potential, as well. Can't wait for Monday.

Mike

Please add to your ea some martingeil function. When we have a loss next order (buy or sell it's no matter) should with 1.5 koff from the first order (we should start with the same first order always) and so on until we'll get an order with a profit to close, after it we'll start with the first order. (my english is not too good) if we have a tp to sl 2 to 1 we will always win at last. i'm trading this way with just ma's crossings

I had the ea running OOTB for part of the week with miexed result

I will be playing with TP and SL the OOTB setting not working for me I noticed pairs where in profit only to go to loss 2 pretty bad. I might use the 20SL and use another EA to manage the profits. I like scaling out my trades

Dryclean, I was demoing on GBP/USD, AUD/USD, EUR/USD starting about 10:30 AM EST to close on Friday, resulting in 7 winners and no losers, using TP8 and SL20. This coming week I will diversify the pairs, so they will not be so closely related.

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

thanks for all the work that has gone into...


babnz, that is an artifact from an order placed by a script (EastOrder).


To get rid of it Right Click on the chart and select "objects" find the item in the list and delete it, then re save the template.

Someone saved the template with the object on the chart...
FYI: here is the thread with the EasyOrder script... I use it, it works very well as a basic order placement and allows you to adjust stops by moving the line on the chart..

I left this EA running over the weekend.
I have set Close On Opposite Signal to true
so it should close out once the ma's cross down for the short position on the chart below. right?
In the open order window there is no TP/SL shown is this because they are hidden ?
all closed orders so far have closed negative, so I think there must be a hidden SL?
all but the ecn to true and the close on opp signal are as default
any comments welcome
B

p.s. The ma's crosed down on the 15 min chart but it did not close will it anly close on a cross down on the 1 H chart. The EA was loaded on the 1 H

Probably because the 200 EMA was in an uptrend when the H1 3 & 8 SMMA crossed over.

Were you watching it at the time? Just a guess, but maybe the MA's crossed up on the H1 temporarily at the time, but later as the price moved (down) the cross is no longer apparent.

It's reasons like this that often MA cross systems look great when you visually backtest them, but in reality they don't perform as well.

I think you are correct here and i would guess that the option UseClosedCandle=false. If you set this to true it will check for the previous closed candle for the cross not "live" so should stop this problem but entry will be later. The default is false as it was not in Lawgirl's original system.

Anyone have any other thoughts on this?

thanks skoda & magft I'll make the change and see if that stops that happening again.
No I did not see it take the trade so I don't know if it crosed at the time it opened the trade. I have others that have opened trades in the wrong direction..

I am a new member and relatively new to EA's. I have greatly enjoyed this topic but am having some trouble fully figuring out the system and the EA. Was hoping someone could take some time to explain it to me, I will compensate you for your time.

Dear anthony,

Everything you need to know about the system and ea is in this thread and the threads mentioned here.
You don't need to invest money, just some time and effort.
If then you should have any specific questions left i'm sure many here are willing to help.

Nothing really to learn, take profit and stop loss. Pretty much random entry like most ea's. Unless, of course your looking back at the market, than it looks as easy as pie!!! Unfortunately, you will learn after a few years that it can be difficult to control randomness.
