Firstly a very big thank you, TCO, for freely sharing your EA & its support. May you be blessed abundantly for your tremendous generosity. Just want to verify, in the most recent version 1.6 under the WPR confirmation is 0=false & 1=true? If anyone can reply is much appreciated. Thanx

Hi Wabbit, thanks for you kind words. Yes 0 is false and 1 is true. Thanks!

Have you thought about including a REVERSAL system into your Ideas.
You have a great trading system, don't give up just because the other
folk's ideas did not help you out. Keep looking for your own Trading
systems and apply them to this trading system you developed. Or use
this whole thing to make a trading alert for a less populated trader system.
Don't give up. But have a little fun experimenting.

Hi TCO Could you please add xsupertrend indicator to EA ?
I know...supertrend indicator looks good as a possible LTF trend tool. Do you have the indicator that you would like me to use?

@TallCoolOne
Hi Eric,
Hope you're well.
I got what I was after, so I haven't been following this thread for the past couple months.
Just noticed that your EA has now turned into a massive coding monster.
Let's hope that people are appreciative of your Herculean effort.

@Everyone else,
1) Keep it simple...The strategy is very basic...look at DAILY chart to determine long or short, and then use HOURLY chart to do the actual entries.
Everyday, when the daily candle on your chart ends, just spend a few minutes study the charts that contain WHATEVER indicator(s) and WHATEVER method(s) of your choice to determine if it's time to go long or short. If the daily charts give a signal based on WHATEVER indicator(s) and WHATEVER method(s) of your choice, then turn on the EA to enter long or short. If you cannot spend a few minutes a day to do this (for whatever reasons, and I totally understand because not all of us have the time), then you're NOT at stage in life where you can trade.

2) NO NEED to have the indicator(s) or condition(s) or combo(s) coded into the EA. Of the people that requested this/that indicators/conditions added to the EA, how many are still using them now? Or will still be using them a month from now, or a year from now? I'd bet that there would be NONE. Chances are, what you called your Holy Grail today and can't wait to have it coded into this EA, won't be your Holy Grail a few weeks from now. And the combinations of indicators/conditions are infinite. Eric could spend his whole life coding, and it won't be enough to satisfy people's needs and their changes in taste.

3) Interventions are needed...knowing when to turn on the EA and when to turn off the EA is the key to financial success. You simply just CANNOT blindly apply this or any other EA to the market and expect to make money...if it was this easy, then why Elder is still writing books and charging people for his classes? If it was this easy, then why UBS (or any other financial institutions) hires so many traders (not to "make" the market, but to strictly trade UBS accounts) and pays so much for the super stars? Think people!!!

TCO TRADER EA Hi Guys/Gals, I have decided to start my own thread for my EA, I simplified the EA name - TCO Trader It is based on a couple of 100PipsADay strategies and also Ichimoku and Turtle. Basically it determines the daily trend using 4 different methods (select 1-4) and then uses the Williams% or Stochastic to enter trades on the lower TF. 2 of the Trend Methods by 100PipsADay - He and others are doing very well with it on FF. 100PipsADay 20/50 EMA Method - http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=425041 100PipsADay Third Screen...

Hi Yasirfx, you can set the lower time frame to 5 or 15 instead of the default 60. You might be able to use H4 for trend time frame = 240 instead of default 1440. The template will need to be changed accordingly. You can set the TP and SL to what you want. Just make sure the ATR TP and SL is set to false and set the standard TP and SL to your desired level. I hope this helps! Thanks!

Hi Mohsen,
Do you meant that when the EA signals a Buy, you want it to open a "Sell" trade and if the EA signals a Sell, you want to open a "Buy" trade?

Hi Mohsen, you should be able to TCO_Trader.mq4 file and find where the BuySignal is set to true and change it to SellSignal being set to true and vice versa. I don't guarantee this will work, but that would be a place to start. Then recompile the program. Thanks!

Hi Robinho,

I Didn't get it completely. Should we change MACD setting in EA to this setting or it should be set as you shown in EA setting.
Then in where these MACD and MA ribbon setting would be applied?

tks

Hi TCO!

Congrats to the EA, its really nice. Thanks for sharing it. I have started to do the backtesting on several pairs, but could not yet achieve your results shown in "backtesting.xls". Could you please share the settings: parameters, timeframe, dates (from - to) used in your backtest?
Apologize if you have already shared it, and I just cannot find it.

Thanks,
