{quote} Roger7777, Looking and analysing the 4 Charts you posted, what is the specific entry type you use for your trades? The 4 charts have different entry combination for HAS, IXO1 and IXO2 Chart 1 Uses HAS Cross and IXO1 Direction for entry, Chart 2 used HAS Cross and IXO2 Cross, and IXO1 Direction for entry Chart 3 used HAS Cross , IXO1 and IXO2 Direction for entry Chart 4 Used IXO1 Cross and HAS and IXO2 Directions for entry
I use all 5 entries. Like I said in my earlier posts, entries are the easy part, getting out with a profit is the issues with any trading. I put a lot of time in with this EA. You have to do to the dynamics of trading. Like good management and leadership, you have to monitor. If I see a coming setup that does not look good I will turn off the live trading a wait for the next trigger point. As Scobby stated above, got to watch out for those ugly times during the trading day, i.e. the opening of some markets, ranging... etc. You know what I'm talking about. Manage the EA and it will do you Justus!

All,
I have found that using the trend line exit with a good TP setting gives and save me more PIPs than any other combination of exit settings. Looking back at my last few weeks of trading it has worked out to return about 30% more PIPs.

good point. at the same time, every person has their own personal management style. can't be living in the shadow of others.

Hi,

I am currently in a SELL trade which is going nicely. But does anyone know why it previously took a BUY trade as looking at the HAS it wasn't BLUE at that time.

Cheers

PS. I attached the SET file as a ZIP.

I did post the screen shot. Notice the blue buy arrow around 7.15am.

Very strange.

As you can see from the screen shot the IXO were both GREEN around the time but the HAS wasn't BLUE when it sent a BUY trade.

Cheers

Do you have the screen shot that was taken at the time of the trade, it would be in your files folder if you have that setting set to true.

The IXOs may have re-painted, its always hard to tell from an old screen shot, we need to see what the robot saw at the moment it took the trade.

I loaded the EA (on a demo acc.) but it is not opening any trade, no matter what.
The direction lamps at the mid-right of the panel are constantly grey. Is that Ok?, I see other screenshots that are red or green.
I even tried to open a trade just based oh the HAS cross but it did nothing.

Could somebody offer any help??????????

What version of MT4 are you running, it has to be 610?

Also, check your experts tab at the bottom for errors.

ooooops my mistake, I added the $ sign before the indies first character, just to be easier to find.

this must be the cause...

The blue arrow is the close arrow, the open arrow has been erased already due to the present open trade.

Here is what I see after a closer look.
