I have made a change and posted version 7 on the first page. In the present version the CCI is looked at at the present candle after the signal candle so in version 7 I have changed it so it only looks at the closed signal candle, this may keep you out of a few bad trades, see what this does.

See the screen shot below where I have marked where the signal would have been read using nonaggressive mode with this new change.
Aggressive Mode would be where you have your lines drawn.

Wow! Thank you!

I have attached the set I will be using for this version 7 in the coming week, in case anyone wants to try.

Chiche - you'll see how I've changed the bands settings in there.

Nice to see you posting some results I wish more traders would do this so we can continue to improve the EA.

If you can could you post a screen shot of your loser so I can see if there is anything that could be changed to maybe avoid it.

Are you going to continue on with the same settings or are you going to change any?

Thanks for the input.
Hi seller

I will continue until further notice with the same settings.

here my loser trade EURJPY (last week)

I think the GBPUSD has often breakouts down AND up in a few seconds or minutes of 15-30 pips. (or more) no newstrading !!

It is therefore often been stopped, although the signal for a few minutes later, appears well.

Therefore, the Cable is suitable for this EA.

Here is that same trade area on the new ichimoku EA I am working on this week, I marked it with the red line. The PA is just a little different because of different Brokers, but you can see ichimoku would have ignored that short and also the following one from the EA using the Bands.
It will be interesting to see if ichimoku works better than the Bands.

Nice job seller9, question: can you work with 2 EA in the same account? Example: eur/usd rb_renkov5 and other chart with eur/usd same Ea but v7.

If set to true and you are using the partial close it will move the stop loss for the remaining lot to break even when the partial close is taken.

May interact with the BEJS, depending on your BEJS settings.
So it could move to BE but then if BEJS kicks in that may move it again.

The two EAs will conflict with each other when it comes to managing a trade that is placed...

So, the answer is no - get another demo account and run them on two demos.

Thank you seller9. I didnt understand very well.
BreakEvenPips and BreakEvenProfit aren't enough for this operation?

really ? ... are you sure ?

I had these losses all the day too ... but the reason is a flat market today ... the price is jumping around the channel today ... a bit to north ... after that a bit to south ... and so on .... losses all the time

no brakout .. no trend into one direction - today !

hi seller9 ... I use 25 pairs for trading ... for training only ... and to find out, are there pairs which we never could use for this EA ... I put the ichi cloud (MT4 - OOTB) on all charts of these pairs and to be honest: not very often it helps to filter out the "bad" trades ... or do you have any other experience about the advantage of the ichi cloud ?

On EURUSD and GBPUSD with these settings v7 appeared to take consecutive trades - one hitting SL and then within minutes taking another trade that went on to win.

Screenies attached at point of order take, and logs attached.

There may be nothing to worry about, but I came home at lunch and spotted this, changed the settings to add partial closure again, and it didn't do it again.

Am I being paranoid or is it a problem? I wanted to move away from partial closure and just do straight BEJS.

Am I being a muppet?
