TCO, Doesn't seem to be anyone(newbies) taking the time to read this thread, read the actual strategy threads, or even reading the instructions that comes with the EA. I am lost for words.
Hey MK. I really appreciate you, Erebus and everyone else fielding the questions. Frankly, this EA is a little befuddling. There is a lot to it. Many features, differences from the original strats - like the Williams % confirmation. So I understand the confusion. Plus the template stuff. You look at post 1 and I would be .......why do I want to trade this thing. OMG....so much to set up. So it is okay if we get a lot of questions. I'm not too worried about it. That is what this thread is for and why I never attached the EA in 100pips thread. I can't imagine how popular that would be.
With all these questions.I think once I get the newest proposed updates done, we will be pretty much done with new development for the EA and we can make sure we get all the bugs fixed. We will get a bunch of new posts in regards to the changes, but then is should settle down and we just trade the thing.
I appreciate all your help!!

Have a great weekend.
{quote} No problem at all mate. Unfortunately, I'm not blessed with patience like you are though.
My wife and I are blessed with 5 boys. All at college age. The only thing that would require more patience is 4 boys + 1 girl....sorry Claudia
. So God has prepared me to have patience. So all is good. Thanks!
{quote} TCO, That looks so great the way you have that laid out, and so logical, it will be an awesome update to an already awesome EA !!!First up, my thoughts on the Weekly filter, nice to visually check but probably not be much used in my trading, as you know, my TP & SL are based on ATR Daily, so the Trend as per Day chart is good enough for me. As I mention, if anyone sees something that bothers them on Weekly chart, don't trade that pair, or for trend change, you probably see signs on Daily already IMHO. What I do think might be...
Hi Erebus, I forgot to replay to this. Thanks for your kind words. 2 things to address. I"m not sure the turtle method will work or not. As far as the calculation for the turtle method it looks pretty easy. So i'm not even going to call the indicator. just put the actual calc in the EA. I just need to test it along with the indicator to make sure it works correctly. For the template. I tried to add the turtle channel to the lower TF and change the periods to represent the daily trend on the hourly chart, but that isn't working. ..So I need to rethink that for the Turtle. As far as the 20/50 EMA Cross method...I will add a toggle to the EMA parameters - Use_EMA_Cross = false. If set to true, then the 20 EMA will need to be above the 50 EMA and price above both for the EA to trigger a buy signal when we have the appropriate Williams % trigger, vice versa for a sell trade. That should not be too bad to code. Thanks for all you do. TCO.
very interesting !
The EA has 3 methods for lot sizing. Fixed Lot, Risk Based , or Lotsize per Balance
FixedLotSize = 0.01 - Fixed Lot Size to be used if DynamicLotSize is set to false
DynamicLotSize1 = false - Set to true to have EA calculate lotsize based on risk entered on the next paramater
EquityPercent = 1 - Risk Percentage used in DynamicLotSize calculation
DynamicLotSize2 = false - Set to true to use .01 per $1000 Account Equity
LotSizePerBal = 1000
LotSizePer = 0.01

Hi All It is Friday, and I am sober but thrashed and I don't know if I am hallucinating. This is a 1 cent per pip account I started running 2 days ago. I have attached a screenshot of both the Terminal and the Input settings. Please don't shoot me, but I am down 25 000 pips. The EA appears to be only taking buys. Fxarcher {image} {image} {image}
I think I found your mistake: your settings for the "Williams % settings" have to be -20 and -80 instead of 20 and 80.

Yo Olarion.......BIG KUDOS.....NICE. This is it. It is always going to be overrsold with those settings. Nice catch!!. Thanks!!
So fxarcher, make that correction and on Monday, hopefully, things will turn around. You may want to start a new demo. Please tell me this was on demo?

{quote} Yes I believe the previous daily bar should close above the EMAs before we take a buy. I will need to change the code and make this part of the next release. Thanks!
