This shows that robot has issues to solve but the method as method is solid.place pending order 1 pip away from the closed bar outside the engolfs and count +20 pips take profit and stop loss on other side of entry bar.So manually is was a perfect trade.
Robot tho didnt trade as it should.

I actually would like to bring to discussion on the closed trade as shown in the screenshot, and 'special thanks' to some dumb people ruining the discussion.

Per the rules in post #1, valid trade is when the bar CLOSED below the engulfing bar. So I assume engulf bar for this trade is the one indicated as number 1 in the screenshot. Number 2 is when the bar closed below the engulf bar, hence we will place pending order at 1 pip below number 2.

but as per rules again, we will delete pending order when new engulf bar has been formed, which is shown as number 3. which means the trade is not valid.

I do not trade engulfing bars in 4H TF which are less than 35-40 pips. I close open trades before high impact news (Red news in FF calendar) - this is for gbp-jpy, where GBP moved fast today at 11:30.
Add this rule also .So depenting the pair trader need to choose the right engulf in pips.i guess

Update:
The EA is ready BUT there is something else that I need to solve and I would like anyone of you to help this.
The historical data I download from Metaquotes using History Center in MT4 (F2) is full of holes, meaning many bars are missing from time to time.
Other historical data I downloaded from forextester, for example, has its own cons like 4 decimal and some missing data too.
I tried using Tickstory but I have some problems in the download process.

So, anyone here who can help me with this by sending me historical data of 1 minute including Volume data (it's very important for mt4 to produce "Tick" data from that), I will appreciate that very much and will send him back the EA! My promise!

Please contact me back by Private Message and we will go forward right away.

Thanks

I still look for 1 minute data (not ticks) without holes for mt4.
FXdd data has no data of last hour of every week.
Oanda data does not have a data for mt4.

Not even 1 of the above gives accurate 1 minute data with 90% modelling quality and without holes.

Well, I saw a bug in the last EA called AEBS expert or something. I don't know why but as far as I can tell it opens trades before the inside bar is closed. Here, have a look:

ksofty, you’re right.
I already wrote here that EA's that other members here write, should be checked by me before uploading them or their reports.
AEBS is not working by the rules explained in post #1.

hi, smilee89,I'm not sure if anyone will send you data as the files are usually massive, Gigabytes in size :-/

If you have a problem with Tickstory, have you tried StrategyQuant Tick Data Downloader? The link is ...

Hmmm, of course. but it is most likely that any data people have, from 1 MINUTE upwards, will have been created from tick data that has been downloaded - as tick data is generally considered to be the *best* way to create the fxt and hst files for MT4.

I did not ask tick data, I know why.
I don't need the ticks inside the bar.
All I need is 1 minute bar + volume data.
Not ticks.
Once again:
No tick data needed and I don't want to generate bars.

Maybe this way:
No tick data needed

No accurate data means all of these results are meaningless.
