Hi, I was first testing with the default settings to see how this performs.. but as you and 2George stated to try 13/34/55.. I think as I look on the chart that this would be a big improvement on the minute 5 for this indicator. I have another zigzag based indicator that I had professionally converted into an EA by ea-coder.com. If you look at my prior posts I attached pics of performance of this EA. It is called the Starburst EA v1.0.. It appears that when the market has clear direction this EA is unstoppable. It appears to take profit at every turning point over and over again.. HOWEVER.. when the market changes, and there is no clear direction in the market.. this EA becomes completely useless as the repainting now would cause losses over and over instead. I do not know how to fix this EA. I do not know if a trend filter will fix the problem, or changing the settings could possibly fix it. This evening I'm going to attach this EA to trade on my demo account again.. but this time i'm going to use 13/34/55 setting instead on the minute 5 timeframe to see if this improves the repainting issue. I connected my demo account to forex factory trade explorer so if you go to: forexfactory.com/tdhowl you can see if this setting adjustment helps. I am going to test using .02 lot size on EURUSD starting this evening. If it seems to perform well I will let it run, if its not doing well.. then I will stop it.
