{quote} OK, try this.....and what is your question about M15? Edit: sorry, the MA properties box did not get saved in the screen shot! Look on the upper Tool Bar and its next to the Blue Clock - the Green Arrow was pointing to it! Edit: I use +/- 6.0, but you can change this to suit your own needs {image}
Thanks Islander Would love to see your dax chart from today, if its possible off course.

LOL - I had just saved this.....a load of action before the NYSE Opened, pushing above the late December highs ~9940. I've finished trading for today, but it will be interesting to see where both Dax & the US Indicies close....

PS Some will notice that I have put the Three Dragons back - the two slower MAs are filters for my Trading Rules when I am trading multiple contracts....

You made me curious, is this still valid ? Guess not because i didn't read about a LWMA ? But i will read it over and over again, i believe its al about the principle.

hi islander,

i donīt know if it fits your needs because it is not based upon mt4 - but it is great for me, i created my dax algo with this:

http://a.c-dn.net/c/content/dam/publ...K_ProOrder.pdf

they also have mt4 automated trading, but i donīt use it.

if you are trading fdax and not dax cfdīs, then whselfinvest have a similar service (futurestation nano), but they donīt have an english service i guess:

hope that helps...

all the best

I used ProRealTime with Medici and we developed several indicators using it. However, I really want to make an EA for MT4 as that allows me greater diversification. Over the weekend I will be trying out the Molanis Strategy Builder which is a DIY kit for making EAs for Forex - they are not certain how it will work with Dax, so I will have to see....

PS Thanks for your PM - I'll try that too.....

OK - I now have he EA I was looking for - someone already had it and sent me a copy


Rather than try to write / modify an EA to cope with the many variables that we monitor ourselves, I will use the EA just to make an entry, activating it when conditions are in line for a trade and turning it off when they are not. Once in a trade I turn the EA off and monitor the trade manually.

So far this morning, it bought in the 7:29 gmt bar and took 30 pts profit in the 7:45 bar. As I type, it has just taken another 30 pts from a sell at 7:50......

Well done - another one for me too - these "stepped" moves obviously suite this kind of trading......and Mr 'Bot is much more alert than I am!!!

Hi Islander

I hope you are sitting in the barmy (relatively) warmth of your Med hideaway. Its bloody cold and damp here. Very interesting you are looking at EA's. I have always stayed clear as I have always thought trading is a continuos learning journey; ea's programming and the such (which I have looked at in the past - I still have programming manuals in my library to prove it) always struck me as a distraction that inevitably becomes the major focus of your trading time as one consantly tweaks and refines as market conditions themselves change. I also have an inherent distrust of anything that has no ability to act to events (I wonder how many EA's were running on the swissy?) and also of brokers execution when using EA's. I will watch with great interest how you get on. Do let us know how you get on.

All the very best

Hi R - thanks, we have a balmy 12.4š out and 18.6š in, so I guess compared with the UK - or Eastern US we mustn't complain.

I take your point about getting too involved in programming and I am not - I'm just using existing EAs as order placers and turning them off once in a trade which I then monitor manually.......as I've said many times, knowing when NOT to trade is a BIG part of trading

The last buy was in the 13:27 bar and it ran up ~25 pts and I got +15 on trailed stop

Best
