Half f the settings are just there for the fake pending orders that the EA uses to determine if this is the first trade signal after an xpMA change. Don't mess with them. They're set at .10 lots and the fields end in 50 and 51.

The fields ending in 52 & 53 are your entries short and long. Put in your desired lot size and if you want a set s/l. Cubby originally mentioned 20 pips and that's what I'm using, but he last said he's setting this to zero and letting the EA stop out if he gets and early MACD zero cross. Set the t/p to 0 if...
Thanks a lot for the clarification

I'll be setting up 4 demos tonight:

One using the 20 pips SL
One using 0 (Macd Cross)

+ Two more, perhaps using a bigger SL and implementing a trailing/jumping stops. Any suggestions on what should be tested? I'll be glad to upload this demos into myfxbook for you all to track. I beleive in collaboration

Remember the EA will exit on the zero cross of the MACD no matter what you set as a s/l or a trailing stop. The only reason to set a 20 pip s/l is so that if the MACD line is far away from zero and you get rapid PA against you, your loss will be limited to 20 pips.

That may also be an advertisement for a trailing stop but I feel that's probably an unnecessary complication.

May be, but since I have the cpu-power to test it, I'll just give it a shot

If it turns out to be bad, at least we'll know

Thanks for all the help

Waheedpcc - some advice. Just let it run on a demo for a day or two to see if you do get some signals. During that time, trade it manually!!! It will help you alot to understand the method.

I recommend you try FXCM UK Demo or Alpari UK Demo - it works on both of those platforms.

I think the problem is he's not getting any signals on the manual side either. Not that there have been many today.

I would not use the 20 pip SL. Price action most of the time is not that smooth even when trending. There can be massive whipsaws in price and then the trend will continue. This usually happens some where early after entry. I recommend not using a 20 pip SL. The biggest trade I've had go against me using macd as exit so far is 40 pips. this really doesn't happen that often. A draw down of 20-30 pips does and will happen using this system. This is why I do not like using a SL. I don't want to get knocked out of a trend with to tight of stops. Remember. Most SL's using macd will end up being 20 pips or under.

I determine lot size based of account size with this system. Typically I use 3% with each trade but with the EA I'm only using max .5-1% of my total account size for each trade. I may bump this up next week....

But 3% of what if we don't have a stop loss to figure it off of? Do you just use 20 pips for calculating purposes?

If you have read carefully the whole thread, you surely remember that the settings are differents if you are on a 4 or 5 digits broker.

It seems that you switched from a 4 digits broker to a 5 digits one ... So your indicator settings should be changed accordingly.

I am surprised you would hold the AUD through this heavy docket... but it paid out big this time if you did.

You know... I did get lucky but the chances of this going in my favor apposed to it not going in my favor were the same. Mine as well take the chance and stick with the trend.

Take a look at this screenshot. Up over 3k so far...

I am down about 3% from sunday night threw monday in closed losses. I'm not to worried because I know I'll take away some good profit with these current trades.
