Hi 100 pips I hope you can help me , I am using your 3rd screen Ea and I have 5 pairs open aud/jpy, cad/jpy, aud/usd, nzd/usd , nzd/jpy all are sell as both arrows are pointing down which I understand, I check your explorer and see you have the same pairs but are all buy. Can you explain is this correct as I have opened my positions at different times than you or is the Ea taking positions when it should not. Thanks for any help you can give.

For CJ my charts show MACD is up and the last Williams signal for a buy would have been 9pm PDT of June 26th. Although it looks as though there should be a new signal very soon.

Hi Stompe, please note there is another thread to raise issues with the EA. http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=431719

However... One thing I did notice is that your screen shows a 5 in brackets like this: "Third Screen Strategy D1 MACD (5)".

Mine doesn't. I've no idea if this is something to do with your problem.

Are you are sure you are using the right version of the EA? If you change your background colour to white, do you see the version number underneath the smiley face in the top right corner? It should read V1.1

In any case, as I say,it's best to post any EA related questions to the support thread.

Cheers.

I have a question for you , 100Pips . With how much money do I need to start to use 3RD screen strategy ?
Money Management: This is never a "one size fits all" type of question. You need to figure out proper lot sizing, max positions, and total pairs you plan to trade according to your own account balance and risk tolerance.

{quote} Dear Mr. HP, Thank you for keeping us update about your real and demo sets up and plans. Just i confused about your demo tests since you stopped EMA demo and made two demos for MACD method instead, even though you explained, but ref. Demo #2 , because its graphs is very looks like EMA EA and this explorer started since April so a question came to my mind that you might used the same account of EMA's EA for MACD and only changed its EA to MACD's EA. Pls. clarify.
It was the same account, however, results would still be ALMOST IDENTICAL though due to the fact that during the first month or so both the EMAs and the D1 MACD were pointing in the same direction for most of the pairs anyways. I also have the same "Max Positions" as well as delay in hours...

I also disabled the D1 20 EMA & 50 EMA about 2-3 weeks ago and only recently enabled the Third Screen Strategy - D1 MACD EA about a week ago as I started to see a reversal in trend. The D1 20 EMA & 50 EMA strategy is not as good at trend reversal points as it lags.

I'm not trying to lie or show fake results. Bottom line is that during the first month or so the D1 20 EMA & 50 EMA were giving same overall direction as D1 MACD for MOST pairs being traded. I hope this is OK with you and the other people here. Also, SL & TP parameters are the same on this particular test...

If anybody has a problem with what I've done with the Demo Test #2 then let me know and I can start a new one...

Please post a screen shot of your chart so that I can see if you are using the correct version. There are dozens of Third Screen Strategy EAs floating around this forum now...

If you're not sure you can always download the EA file on the very first post of the very first page. Make sure to follow instructions.

Post a screen shot once you have installed the EA and applied it to your chart.

Hi 100 pips, thaks for trying to help, the 5 and 6 you can see is the number of times i have down loaded the ea, example if i delete the ea and download it again and add it to my chart it will go yo 7. I have been using the 20/50 ea with no trouble, i have taken it off in case of a conflict. but still the same . I have run out of ideas to try.

When I read your post I was confused. The 5 and 6 numbers in brackets in the EA name (top right of chart) are confusing, how exactly do you get them there. I decided to try simulate your problem but i can't reproduce the bracketed numbers. Can you explain what you do to download or delete the EA? Do you get similar numbers if you down load or delete the 20 50 ea?

Anyway I did manage to simulate the label issue not showing on the MT4 platform, but I think it's a long shot as I'm sure you have done this. The MACD3SS.ex4 must be in the expert/indicator folder under to root directory where the EA is installed, if it isn't you don't get the labels below the version and the EA don't trade.

just double check that it is in the correct folder?

Hi Stompe,
The number (5),(6) etc is the problem. I am sure you downloaded the MACD3SS and its name in your PC is MACD3SS(5) or MACD3SS(6) or so.
So you must be sure that the file name is MACD3SS .
Shut down the MT4 terminal. Go expert/indicators folder, correct the file name MACD3SS. Then start your MT4.

This is the only way to resolve your problem.

Khaled
