MACD readings can't be "none", so you definitely have a problem there.Maybe the EA settings, or the default MACD indi in MT4 build.
Just checked your code:
MACD = none;
if (MACD1 > (0+2*Point) || MACD0 >= (0+2*Point)) MACD = up;
if (MACD1 < (0-2*Point) || MACD0 <= (0-2*Point)) MACD = down;}

This means -> if (MACD1 <= (0+2*Point) && MACD0 < (0+2*Point) && MACD1 >= (0-2*Point) && MACD0 > (0-2*Point) MACD = none;

So MACD can be "none", right?

Just at initialization.It's obvious EA can't read MACD for some reason, that's why MACD is still "none". MACD can't simultaneously be >0 AND <0, logical, right?

But it can simultanesously be < 0+2*point and > 0-2*point, or am I wrong?

Ok, just for fun, you got here the version that can use OsMA instead of MACD. It's a built in OsMA, so you don't need external indi. Use OsMA OR MACD, not both.

Thank you very much Mr Dragosd for the new version. Will set up two versions of the robot, one with MACD and one with OSMA, same broker, everything else the same (original rules) and will report back in one week.

I do not expect the robot to be profitable if trading 7.10 am to 4.30 pm GMT everyday, but will be interesting to see the results.


Cheers,
Pierre.

Hi Guegaber,

Please see post #279 above. Dragosd pointed out, use MACD or OSMA but not both.

I posted my set files a recently, but here they are again.

This robot is still in its infancy and may yet grow up to be a profitable EA if employed in the right circumstances. There is another EA here in FF that has been under devepment for quite a while, and has matured into a very promising young adult. It is called TMS EA. Do pay the thread a visit and see what is going on there.

Cheers,
Pierre

gms, once this string called "MACD" has an assigned value"up" or "down", this can't be none again, as it's cancelled just by the opposite. So, if MACD is below 0+buffer, value is "down".Opposite for "up".

Drago

Could you put an option in the EA to Enable/disable the
use of the 89 EMA.

Thanks in advance.

Lufkindog
That means to change the entire trigger logic, as MA89 is the basic trigger, so no, I can't make it optional.Sorry.
Try this, MA89 is completely excluded.

Sorry Drago, I do not want to be a pain in your neck, but whenever the function ReadIndicatorValues is called, the MACD string is reset to none. Since the function is called from the start() function, the reset happens again and again.

If at that point in time the MACD1 and MACD0 values are between 0+2*point and 0-2*point, then the string will stay on none.
In this situation according to the rules the EA should not enter a trade. However, the lines
if (MACD == up) return;
if (MACD == down) return;
will not keep the EA from entering in this case.

And that's what happened several times during the last two day.

Why not just modify this

if (MACD == down) return;
into this and finish with the problem?

I already modified the code locally. But I wanted you to know and understand! Otherwise the problem will be back as soon as you send out a new version ...

(I did not mean to correct you in any way. Your EA is great work!)

Interesting results Pierre...although its not recomended to trade GU...even so it appears the OSMA appears to give better results on that pair at least...should be very interesting how it performs on the others....
well done..

Hi Mr Dragosd,

The "number of subsequent candles for a valid entry after the white arrow" option appears to be missing from the latest version.

Can this option be restored ?

Thanks in advance.

UseMacd = false
UseMacd Buffer = false
