{quote} the trade you have came before I started this demo, I was wondering what is it that initiates the trades, is it possible to have the template you are using, so i can make sure i got the same screen going forward. Thank you so much
I am working on the video for version 14 using those same settings and when I get it done and version 14 posted I will include a template that is the same as the one for that trade and the same as used in the video.

With those settings if you missed the exact cross of the HAS you would still be out of that trade. Below is the exit the Robot took of that trade, I did move the SL as shown in the previous posts and the Robot closed the trade when it pulled back and hit it.

I am just letting the Robot run and see what happens next, it is possible if we get a little more pull back I could get a re entry with Entry 3, or I just had my stop too close and this down trend will go further, in that case I will have to wait for HAS to change and hope IXO1 and IXO2 agree with it.

This also could be the second part of a double bottom with upside to follow.

Sorry for the delay on the SD EA, but I can't keep my fingers out of the BT_14 code, hopefully when version 14 is released I will be able to stay away from it for a while.
Below is a screen shot of the latest incarnation of the SD EA. You will have 2 choices of time frame combinations to trade, this is not a scalper. You can trade the H1, D1 or the H4, W1 combinations, the H1 or the H4 will be your trading chart where the EA will be placed and the D1 or W1 will be for trading direction.

I have it running now so hopefully I can get a trade in the next couple of days.
I will put together a short video this week end on it to give you an idea of my way of thinking, I am trying to make it simple and reliable, that's why I am sticking to the 2 combinations of the higher time frames, hopefully a set and forget without much intervention.

Hi,

If you look at my picture is there anyone who can tell me what it takes before this will become a trade? is it when usd/cad fills up?

Here is a trade that kicked off at the top of the hour.
You can see I had no initial TP set and my initial SL is too close, (25 pips/pair = 350 pips), so I can now adjust those.
This is an Entry 0 trade entry.
Will see what happens next.

Thank allot Seller9 for taking time to explain this to me, another question and that is about the settings for Entry 0, can you just bu looking at the picture see what settings i have ?
I have not changed anything except the IXO values in the EA, what i wonder is if i need to change for instance [Entry 0]
UseHAScross=true
UseHASDirection=false
UseIXO1cross=false
UseIXO1direction=false
UseIXO2cross=false
UseIXO2direction=true
When i look at these value on these settings it feels like the only 2 values it will use are UseHAScross and UseIXO2direction, since they are set to true, this would mean if these to value turn green it's a go, it does not need to have IXO1 green(as in the picture).
Sorry for the dumbass question but im trying to take sort of shortcut to understanding the whole concept.

Don't know yet, last I heard was February 1st for the release, so I don't think I will release anything new or updated until we see what happens after the new release comes out.

Looks like another learning curve.

I was looking at the code to produce clickable buttons on the screen and the code was as long as some of my EAs just to do some buttons.

To bad it isn't like VB6 or others where you can just drag objects to the screen, maybe we should go back to machine language and HEX code, I haven't done that for years.

Will see in a few days, unless they postpone it.

Everyone better make backups of your MT4 folders.

I did remove all the .mq4 files from my experts, indicators, and scripts folders so the new version doesn't try to recompile them.
Hopefully most of the .ex4 files will still work.

I really haven't seen anything to the point of using offline charts and if our present ones will work, anybody have anything on that?
It sounds like the History chart file structure will be different, so that could affect the way we create our offline charts now.

Maybe someone can bring us up to date on all this and maybe someone has already played around with the new version and has the answers.

Your screen shot is showing me something different than what you have set above.

This is what your screen shot is showing me.
UseHAScross=true
UseHASDirection=false
UseIXO1cross=false
UseIXO1direction=true
UseIXO2cross=false

New release will be out on 3/2/2014, i am beta testing build 579 , HA et and IXO indicators are working just fine, the EA should work just as fine, the only thing not working are offline charts, it will require some modifications to the indicator that creates the offline charts, it should be an easy fix, its not the end of MT4 as some are saying.

Do you have a link to the changes needed for the offline charts, I was looking around at the various sites but didn't find any, even with search engine.

From what I hear the documents won't be released until after the software is released.

Is the date you state the new date, as the one I have seen is February 1st?

Hi Seller,

I switch on the computer this morning and activiate the EA, then the Ea make a long trade to the C14 which should not be done under the rule, please comment.

@Seller9,

Just had a scary thing happen on a live account - robot opened a short trade as expected with an entry 0.
The robot then immediately closed the trade using HTP (which is set @ 80 pips per pair so a long way off that).
As the conditions were still correct for a trade to trigger it re-opened another short and again closed it immediately using HTP.
This occurred 11 times in quick succession before I was able to close the loop only by deleting the offline chart.
This was on a 240 min chart using C5 basket.
I have onetradepercandle set to false.

At the same time (with a different broker) the robot closed a (losing) long trade on a 240 min chart using the C14 basket. It then immediately opened a trade in the opposite direction as expected due to entry 0 conditions being met. That particular set also has HTP activated (60) and onetradepercandle also set to false to enable the closing of one basket and the immediate opening of another basket in the opposite direction yet it behaved normally.

Glad I was there to spot it so I could close the endless loop.
First screenshot is the opening of the trade and the second screen shot is the closing of the same trade
