Nothing new... I'm leaving.

Interpretation: People had already priced in a 50/50 rate cut and also 60/40 further QE, that didn't happen, therefore, it's likely to see EUR and GBP stronger for a bit because of profit taking. At least until the US open.. so back on the selling road.

And that's exactly what happened

Entry
OK, give this a try and see what happens. I haven't had time to try it out yet so try it on Demo. I haven't put the timer wait in yet so just turn off the autorestart for now. You can also turn off your exit if you like, just set "UseAutoClose" to false. I have stripped out all the other indicators and you now have just the ones you wanted, it takes 6 to make a Buy or Sell.

Hi Seller,

Thank you for everything. Really I have never seen anyone make an EA like this. I have a few feature requests.

First, I think we really need money management. I know you have stated that you don't want to implement this until it's finished but this is already a very usable EA but it is a big hassle to constantly be changing the lot size every time my account size changes.

The second thing is along the same lines of always changing things. Every time I make a change to my template, I simply run the script to change all charts to that template. This works well except I have a lot of currencies that need larger sl and tp. What I was thinking (I am speaking to you as a profession .NET programmer) was that you could have a text file called lets say oddCurrencies.txt. In this file we could have a list of 3 digit currencies. In the EA there would be a bool setting under sl and tp called useCurrency multiplier. Then the EA would compare the last 3 digits of the pair it is set on to that file. If it finds a match then it would multiply the sl and tp by the multiplier. Obviously if the EA could get this info automatically it would be better but I think it would be fine if once a day we could edit that file. We could even post our files here so that really only one person each day would have to do the work.

I don't know how much more I can add without removing some items. After adding the Hanover module the size went to over 200K for the program. This is not a problem for me but apparently mq4 has a problem when I get larger than this. The other day I was adding a few small lines of code to try something and the program would not compile and came back with a resource error asking me to shrink the program it was too large. I have run across this before when doing some EAs over on the THV forum when the EA got real large. For some reason the program can't handle all my IFs and BUTs. So unless this issue can be bypassed or I remove items that are not needed I don't think I can add much more without hitting this apparent limitation.
Reading a .txt file would not be a problem if a trade manager was added to the EA.

Maybe we should all get together and decide just what we really need in this EA and remove all the other junk and make room for a trade manager.
Maybe it just doesn't like the way I program.

I decided to miss school today and so far so good, I recommend you to read the EurAnalysis thread.

This is more of a fundamental analysis thread... I know most of you have different strategies or trust a robot to trade for you.

Hey! I doo Cause we're all busy people. But at least it's good to know what's happening in the world

Had a couple bugs in the latest version that will cause some delay in my posting of it. I don't want to post something that kills everybodies account, I just want it to be OK when I post it. I haven't gotten any trades with it yet due to the bugs but they have been fixed now and it looks like it has a good future ahead of it. From looking back at charts and my present settings it looks like it would have gotten into some good trades this past week. You can look at the charts below and see what I am presently using for settings, I have narrowed it down quite a bit. What I am using is probably the BigE basic way with just Hanover Recent Strength added.

I am testing on the H4 time frame using the following.
1) TDI cross
2) TDI Slope
3) Stochastics
4) Stochastics Slope
5) Recent Strength with Slope on H4
6) Trade Window(Trade only first 10 minutes of new H4 candle)

What I am trying to do with this setup is create a basket of trades, each trade added as it meets the requirments every 4 hours, so they may not all get added at the same tiime and they are removed as they meet the exit trade managment settings of TP, SL and etc.
If you go over to this site and read what they have been trying to do you will see where I am going with this setup.
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...13181&page=151
They use a manual method to enter the trades suggested by there Strength Meter at the start of a new candle. They have some good days and some bad days. I think by adding the TDI ideas from this forum and the Hanover Recent Strength indicator into one EA we may be able to get the best of both Worlds and cut down on the bad days. I would suggest you read through that forum and the Hanover forum to get an idea of what we are trying to do, here is the Hanover Link.
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=163158
You will also find links to other EAs that Steve has already added hanover to that you may want to check out. So spend some time this weekend reading and come back with some great ideas on how to make this better.

Here are a couple screen shots of what this setup looks like.

Now I know that you say that you never use the strategy or back tester but some of us do and while it does have a certain inaccuracy to it, it does give you the ability to test your or any EA quickly on a large sample of time. I was unable to get why this EA wasn't working on the strategy tester until now. I am getting an error of "zero divide" which if you do a little searching it would seem that (as surprising as this may be) the code is trying to divide by 0. So if you could go through the code and check (obviously it would just be adding an if statement like if(x!==0)then do said operation)the spots of division so this error doesn't occur it would help a lot and then we could really take this EA to something special. Imagine. We could test different set files on different pairs on different time frames for the past few years in just a few days to get to the "perfect set file".

note: In ver 17 this error doesn't occur so it must be in the recent changes.

Heres my EPZ1 (sp500) weekly Results Testings, im not posting the FX ones yet but im just showing that this EA can trade Futures in MT4 if your broker has them.

total Profit = $201.25 based on 5$ per point or 0.10 order size

5 Wins & 3 Losses

Total Points PROFITS = 14.5 + 2.25 + 7.25 + 20 + 8.25 = +52.25
Total Points Losses = -3.25 - 5.25 -3.50 = -12

52.25 - 12 = +40.25 points total in profits for the week trading the EPZ1 nice average of 8 pts a day

not bad at all, still gonna make some adjustments but still good results

i missed some good reversals but i don't mind, im concentrating on what i already catched in PROFITS not what im missing, im also concentrating on minimizing the losses before trying to catch more Trades.

GLTA

and gotta give Seller9 the credit for making such an excellent EA "Good Job and Thanks"

hello seller9
what would be a good addition to this would be a tightining stop & jumpin take profit
for e.g
take profit = user input let's say 100
tightning stop 50% = user input let's say 35
tightning stop 80% = user input let's say 20
now when the price moves in ur direction the stops move accordingly (this is already there in steve's multi trade manager)
now when the price moves to ur target of 100 ur out, so if we had a jumpin take profit & the price keeps moving in ur direction to 85% or 90% the jumpin take profit would move to = user input let's say 50, now ur take profit is 150 (ur take profit which was set in first cycle of 100 at 80% = 60+ is guaranteed) & the complete cycle of tightining stop repeats at 150
this would help during strong move's in price to get the maximum pips
thanks
