DislikedSeller, Guys,
I was looking at another thread here at FF that suits my style and while wondering how to make it work a question came up in my mind:
If I would remove all Entry set ups from ETB and take the trade manually - would the EA still manage the trade exit according to set up ?
Here is the thread:

Would you please advise?
thanksIgnored

Here is a chart where I marked all the possible trades that would have been taken with the alerts shown using 50 pip range bars. Yes, its in a uptrend so very easy to have nice winners, I will look for a chart with more sideways movement and see how it fairs as well. The long run of 950 pips gave you multiple entry points unless you managed to stay the entire run, depending on your Stop Losses or Take Profit points.
This is all comming in the next version. I have spent a lot of time setting in front of the screen watching trades open and close and looking for bugs and have found a few, so hopefully the next version will be the best yet, and some of the past trades that may not have been quite right may be weeded out with the code fixes.
Good Luck

Here is an example with some sideways motion in it, I have marked all the possible entries Long = GREEN and Short = RED and I have shown if a couple of them would have been taken and the reasons. Take a look at the rest of the trades and see if you think the EA would have taken any of them according to the alerts shown on the chart.
Do you think your account would have gained or lost through this period if the EA was left on its own without your intervention. The BE/JS you could have used may vary from what is shown, it would be your own money management settings.

i had a question but tried it before, i placed AUD/USD & EUR/CAD with Offline charts and placed the EA on them as seen in screenshots below, with a "M4" Period Chart, but it does'nt really matter what OFFLINE chart it's on, as long it's not on the same TimeFrame as a default Period that MeTaTrader4 provides.
but i was looking at your screenshots "seller9" and i did'nt see any TF shown where "Trading Active" is so i took out the "M4" in he EA -Trade Period- and it works, but in case i could remove the TRADE PERIOD in the EA or do i need to leave "M4" of my offline chart ?
so on these Trades what i did is set these 2 pairs up last night, worked well got these results below based on a 12 pips range with JS/BE 20/5/5 settings
A/U + 85 pips
E/C - 29 pips
Total = +56 pips
now i just switched EUR/CAD to 15 pips range with a 30 JS/BE setup, afterwards will test the 50 range and higher JS/BE, AUD/USD still kept the same settings as mentionned above.
- My 2 other trades with other setups we're both losses
but thats part of testing setups.USD/CAD Daily = -51 pips
AUD/JPY H4 = -66 pips
-AS you can see in the last PIC the "Jumping Stop LOG" shows that JS/BE is working like a charm
-Only one thing i kept on getting these errors on all pairs, don't know if it's only my PC or the EA causing the errors ? will monitor this
15:00:02 THV4 Coral T@H GBPUSD,M15: cannot resize the array

I don't know about the coral error as it is only calling that indicator, try leaving its time frame blank and see what happens if you are on a range bar chart, I haven't seen that error but will try it once and see if I get it.
I love the BE/JS, its crazy how it just keeps moving along. The next version will have the hidden partial TP and also a hidden trailing SL, so those should be interesting also. I get a kick out of just sitting and watching the EA do its thing. Its nice to see the BE/JS kick in as then you know your for sure in profit.
I also think the ichimoku in THV and Kumo Break Out could be a couple of nice additions.
Edit: Just added coral indicator ot my M2 range bar chart and also engaged it in the EA settings and got no error, it said it loaded fine. Changed between H4 and M1 candle periods for the coral also in the EA and it still was OK.
Edit: I see you are using the ichimoku, I don't recall if I had that finalized in v 1.05 yet, so results may change when the next version comes out, as I have been adjusting the algorythm that determines the breakout.

This trade just kicked off a few minutes ago, lets see what happens.
I have interesting situation today on cadjpy
when long was taken situation look like this:
and aftera while look like this:
so moment was perfect to go short
I'm wondering if there is option to make transaction only after finished candle if signal is still valid to avoid this type of situations ?
I checked etb options but wasn't found any similar.

I beat you to it, its already part of the next version.
Thanks for the info, I guess we all think alike.
RSI="- - - - - - - - - - - - RSI Settings - - - - - - - - - - - -";
UseRSI = false;
RSICandlePeriod = "D1";
RSIBuyTrigger = 55;
RSISellTrigger = 55;
RSIperiod = 10;
also a suggestion for the ADX, it may be already like that but it seems the ADX is only based on the ADX alone over/under 25, it would be better if the ADX would include the -DMI/+DMI in the calculations of the over/under 25 signals, IMO
had 1 open trade on the AUD/USD last night wwith a loss of -18 pips, now i switch the Range to 15 pips instead of 12 pips range.
for the Glitch with the "THV4 Coral T@H" must of been caused by my PC did'nt get them afterwards, so it's not the EA

i used the RSI before with the 45/55 buy/sell trigger lines, still got 1 or 2 srats (not beeing used for now) but then i switched to s single CCI with 50 or 100 as buy/sell trigger line, but they are both good to filter out RANGES in the maket, just im a long term CCI user now, but it's good to know the RSI with those options will be available... NICE
also a suggestion for the ADX, it may be already like that but it seems the ADX is only based on the ADX alone over/under 25, it would be better if the ADX would include the -DMI/+DMI in the calculations...
Any special way you want it to be configurable?

I will look into getting the ADX options changed also in the next version, thats a quick change that shouldn't give any problems.

below is a PIC of the ADX (beige line) thats often over 25, but by including the DMI -/+ (blue/red) you see with the Yellow vertical lines, it shows the cross over the 25 level giving a better signal making it a better tool

Thats perfect! you're the one again!!!
I was also thinking about that as a 5/10 ema cross filter, it would be too easy this set up would go so good all the time - its too beautiful!!
thanks for your great job! Inspiring and motivating!!!

EDIT: just added AUD/JPY to the "RangeBar Offline Charts Testing" with 10 pips Range with JS/BE 25/5/5 so now i have 3 pairs on Offline Charts AUD/USD (15 pips JS/BE 25/5/5) + EUR/CAD (15 pips JS/BE 30/5/5)

Tha only one I may not have mentioned here is the "Toggle" trade that is used mostly for the ichimoku Kumo Breakout. This will toggle the EA back and forth between Buyer and Seller.

I have added it to my 5/10 cross test and will see how it goes the rest of the week. Next version with it and other things mentioned should be out this weekend. Don't know if I will have time to update the manual but I think the new items have been mentioned enough so everyone should know what they do.

NO the options that are already available are ok, just the coding part or the Logic of the ADX by inlcuding the -DMI / +DMI
below is a PIC of the ADX (beige line) thats often over 25, but by including the DMI -/+ (blue/red) you see with the Yellow vertical lines, it shows the cross over the 25 level giving a better signal making it a better tool
The 25 trigger is settable along with the chart period and adx period in the EA settings.
present ADX >= 25 AND Present +D1 > Previous +D1 AND Previous -D1 > Present -D1 AND Present +D1 > Present -D1

Looks like thats what I already had, just forgot, had to take a peak at the code.
