seller 9 please use cloud candles instead of HA Bars as i find that when the cloud candles are giving clean entry , the HA candles are still touching the yellow band. so we will be delaying our entry by one candle using HA rather than cloud candles, and with a 15 pip range bar delaying entry by one candle means 15 pip lost. if you have already taken care of this then it is fine

Unimak--
What do you mean Cloud candles? Is this the same as price candles? I also don't get HA bars. Per my earlier posts, I agree that getting a 'clean candle' outside the cloud on a 5M or 15M chart seems to make the most sense, as it gives a better idea of momentum during specific time periods.

Beacuse I am watching the EUR at this point, there was a 64 pips max excursion yesterdayand 43 today, as price is reversing forming the M.

Please put the cloudcandles in your mt4 map! Open map of your mt4 then clock on experts and put the indicators in you indicator map. Then close you mt4 and reopen it and then load the indicators in your chart!

Hope you understand

refer to my post #18 for the indicators, Please understand this system is not indicator intensive,the idea is to keep it simple with minimal indicator so that it is system friendly . at the same time rake huge pips

I will switch my charts back to cloud candles for looks. This is what I am using for the cloud candle prices, I believe these are the same thing. MT4 doesn't show cloud candle prices in the data window so I am thinking they are the same as the real prices.

double close1 = iClose(Symbol(), 0, shift);
double open1 = iOpen(Symbol(), 0, shift);
double high1 = iHigh(Symbol(), 0, shift);
double low1 = iLow(Symbol(), 0, shift);

I don't have the mq4 of the cloud candle indicator so I can't look to make sure.

The original idea from the forum posted on page1 goes for 20ore30 pips/ breakout

Here is the EA as it stands so far, rough and simple, but maybe a start.

1) The Buyer/Seller is a toggle back and forth so when you put the EA on a chart determine if your next trade you are looking for after the present one will be a Buy or Sell. So if the pair is in a long uptrend, even if you are not in the trade, your next trade would be a Sell Trade. So set Buyer = false and Seller = true.
Even though this is a toggle back and forth between buyer and seller you still should check this from time to time as it could get out of sequence if the EA misses a possible trade. Just change it in the settings to the correct one.
2) You can also enter a trade manual and then place the EA on this open trade. The EA will ask you if you want to manage this trade. Your managment settings will then manage the trade. Be sure to set the Buyer/Seller settings correctly for the next type of trade after the present one closes.
3) At this time the initial stop loss is set at +- pips from the top or bottom of cloud and stays there until the BE/JS kicks in, the default is 3 pips but you can change this in the settings, this can be changed later as we develope the EA.

The pips / bar may not read perfect all the time, but it helps so you know what you are using for your charts.

Yes this is where our Trail SL or TP comes into play , as we know not all trades go for 100 pips, i consider if we make 30 pips in a entry trade it is a good one
. so in this particular case our trail sl would have fired when the price dipped and thus locking up the gains simple

I will need a screen shot of the trades and a template and indicators so I can duplicate.

What are you using to generate your rangebars?
I am using "RangeBarScript1" on a M1 chart to generate M2 offline chart.

Here is a trade from last night.

Seller9 refer to the chart that you have attached, it is clear that the entry has been taken by the EA on the 3rd clean candle since breakout whereas the entry should be on the first clean candle since breakout . so the ea should have taken entry 2 candles back .
