I have tried to help in other threads and kley responded to my personal requests to continue an educated discussion. He has not only supported me but has added his own intellect to grow each discussion to a new level. This is what Forex Factory encourages. I could have easily posted the .ex4 only but this is not a black box and is for all of you to improve or add value to.

Thanks kleybenny

Thank you very much for this! Very thorough, with so many customization possibilities to fit the needs of any trader.

I REALLY like the feature that it automatically leaves a comment on the trades it makes. It helps me separate trades I have made manually (seperate from the EA) on my demo account from those that the EA makes. I haven't seen any other EA do this.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for this EA.. im just playing with the EMA Cross, but it doesnt seem to open a trade when the cross happened..
It opened a trade about 20 candles later..

The settings I have are:

UseEMACross = 1
ShortEMA = 5
LongEMA = 20
EMAMaxBarsAgo = 2

Any ideas? I could figure out where to insert a screenshot on this post.. it would be easier to see it..

Cheers

Dman

Hi Dave,
I also tested this EA on EURUSD, TF 1H;
1) with EMA Cross, settings ShortEMA = 8, LongEMA = 21 and the results was similar to Dman. EA open trades some candles late after crossing; if the trade is stopped by SL - open the new trade after some time, even in opposite direction;
2) also with TrailingStop = 0, the EA start to use it after some trades;
3) MACD Cross filter use Macd line cross with Signal line, but more usefull (to my mind) is Macd line cross with 0 line, sometimes Signal line cross with 0 line. Of course, this cross can be replaced with EMA cross, but the problems is described in p.1 (see above);
4) I try to mix EMA Cross with Price/EMA Cross - EA not open trades at all!

What I miss? Your advices?
Thanks,
Maris

Also for VMaris


That was my error. On checking my code, I see that the EMA's were calculating on the 5min time period. Could you please download the latest build from Post 1

I see your point about the MACD and will update the EA to give you the option for the main or signal MACD to cross the zero line. The EMA problem has been fixed, see above.
