{quote} Sure. I display on a 15M chart. I make the settings on the MACD and EMAs show the 4H tend on the 15M chart. I currently like the MACD trend determination method better than the EMA determination. However, I leave the EMAs on the chart for visual reference. MACD settings: 192,384,144 W%R: no change MA Ribbon MA1 Period: 320 MA Ribbon MA2 Period: 800 EA Settings: TrendTF: 240 LowerTF: 15 Check once per bar: False Order delay: 6 max orders: 4 I use Dynamic lot sizing based upon ATR. during this testing phase I have varied the risk percentage...

{quote} Hi Erebus, I peeked inside TCO's code and saw this code on MACD Traditional : if(MACD_Method == 3) // Traditional { Trend_Method_Comment = Trend_Method_Comment+"MACD TRADITIONAL"; double MACD7 = iCustom(NULL, Trend_TF , "macd_adjustable", MACD_Fast , MACD_Slow , MACD_Signal , 3 , True , True , 2, shift); double MACD_W7 = iCustom(NULL, PERIOD_W1 , "macd_adjustable", MACD_Fast , MACD_Slow , MACD_Signal , 3 , True , True , 2, shift); you'll see that the EA calls the custom indicator "macd_adjustable" to decide whether its uptrend or...

{quote} I got to thinking about this some and had a look myself, both MACD Adjust and MACD Traditional call on the the "adjustable" indicator MACD Hanover call on the "MACD trad colored" indicator Now, I don't don't about the code & math in the rest of ? Another thing, as you can see in the previous post, I have a picture of the results, but there were only 2 for MACD ? I checked the spreadsheet and the columns for MACD - Hanover were hidden, not that there was much difference in the totals Hope TCO can clear this up soon; isn't there anyone...

{quote} I am using V1.4 with standard settings for MACD and WPR with CON, still evaluating entries, but they appear to be working. My platform has a Sunday candle which I am not sure if it has any effect on the indicators displayed as opposed to the inner workings of the EA.

{quote} hi ymleong, The EA is doing its job right from what i see in the code. Although u want the EA to close only your pre-assigned "MagicNumbers" trades, the EA actually closes all your open trades when the account profit is reached. Why does it do that? It's because all the EA running in the single MT4 terminal, altough on different charts/different magic numbers, sees the entire Account Balance is in profit and thus will attempt to close its own "Magic Numbers" trade. Hope i make some sense there. cheers, ck

{quote} Erebus, Attached is the G/U chart. I have mine set to Hanover MACD. Hanover MACD is located on top and MT4 MACD is on the bottom. As you can see, MACD Hanover shows uptrend. If you switch the EA to MACD traditional, you will see it will show as still in downtrend. Reason being, the histogram is below zero. MT4 MACD and Adjustable MACD is similar in that it uses the same formula but just displayed differently. The only difference is the histogram in MACD adjustable only shows the difference between the cross of the signal lines.

Hi Guys, I see there is some confusion in regards to MACD. We only need the 2 indicators that we have to select the 3 different types of MACD................Just goes to show. The more options and changes we add, we add complication and confusion also. Just need to take a breath and we will all figure it out. I hope this helps. Sorry for the confusion. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Hi TCO could u help me out with how I can go abt changing the code to allow acct percent profit basket close with magic numbers? That is, ea is supposed to accumulate profits according to magic numbers and close trades which conforms to the rules set and only those trades with the specific magic numbers. This way I can basket close trades using macd, ema, or turtle etc (I create groups for these methods so its easily to compared than having 3 or 4 demo accts)

Hey TCO and you code reading guys, I'm sure this was brought up before, but is it possible to read the histogram bars and have an EA trade from that? Seems to me that is where the markets turn and not when they cross the Zero line, that is when all the draw down happens, trades entered near the turns I think I will start using this to determine the Daily trend for which way to look for manual trades next week Have a good weekend all

{quote} Hi Erebus, what MACD are you using in your examples. Those look like very good trade examples. Are those indicative of how the MACD works most of the time or are those cherry picked? Thanks!
