continuous EA trading[/i]

8044388]{quote} It already has that option with the proper HAS settings in the EA. UseEntry0 = true UseHAScross = true (for entry0) TakeOnlyOneTrade = false UseHAS_X_AsExit = true (for exit)
Have decided to test the EA with the above settings for JPY7 on a 4 hr time frame.

I have missed a recent trend reversal, but have taken the opportunity to enter a manual buy trade at the same level as the robot would have entered,
(ie simulated the recent HAS cross).

Next - a stop loss ASAP, but the following are the reasons for trading with this setup..

* Since the 8th December this trend has moved down, but only 5 HAS crosses have occured. - (so broker buy/sell fees are reduced).
I am entering a trade against the prevailing trend, (not recommended), but I feel lucky most of the HAS crosses since June 2014
(the extent of my history) have resulted in long profitable trends. The hope is it will continue, - EUR-CHF events or similar excepted.

* Most people are trading 1 hr timeframes (as recommended by Seller9), & many manually, so I hope to provide evidence of automated trading
success or otherwise here for 4hr TF.

* Test the HAS setting. - the setting is the earliest I can get the HAS to cross without breaking up the long JPY HAS trends visible on the attached.

* The recent use of CCI discussions, - This set up may be an alternative to using CCI, as the HAS setting allows long trends in the same direction,
using the EA's present capabilities. I shall work on finding the most appropriate HAS settings and Time frames for non-JPY currency pairs.

Still no stop loss, (I need to find something suitable to help me gauge SL placement), but the trend has at least started in profit.

I enclose a screen shot of the trade opening.

Lets see how ugly this gets...

Because you are in a manual trade and if you want the Robot to continue after your manual trade close you need to set the following to true, otherwise it will stop after the manual trade closes.


Restart_After_Manual_Trade = true

{quote} Looks OK to me, you have a confirmed long trade after the first blue bar after the red bar closes, which side of the blue bar the close is on does not matter. I see no confirmed short trade cross 2 bars earlier. You should only turn the HASX on when you are in a confirmed up or down trend and the PA is established well above or below the HAS and is not crossing back and forth across it as this could close the trade.
Dear seller
Trade enter at 7 GMT, HAS X
Still running at 20 GMT
Exit will be HAS X
I will post the picture when it close

Regards

I won't create a video for you, but place this (http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...38#post8049538) file in the script folder and then run the script on any chart. The CSV values have now been downloaded. In MT4, click "FILE" then "OPEN DATA FOLDER" then "MQL4" then "FILES" and open the file called "kopratasa.csv". You now enter those corresponding numbers into the "Main Trend Analysis.xls" file (http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...86#post8048786). Click on the second tab at the bottom of Excel, and you have your trend analysis.

I'm still trying to find out how the "Pick_Currency Tool" (http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...79#post8048479) and "Export TF & Pairs" (http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...04#post8048804) works. If anyone can help me with that, that would be great. But for now, the method above works well. Thank you so much guys!

This is perfect example of why indicators aren't the end all be all. If you drew basic trend lines, and read the chart, you would have realized a ~915 pip gain. But following HAS/IOX and doing and setting an auto trade rule, you would be down about 97 pips. But the HAS and IOX are still saying buy! After a massive move like that. Indicators are good for confirming what you see from the chart, not the other way around. So please Seller9, don't add more indicators! They are all lagging. What you have now is already a money machine. Couple that with Kopra's trend analysis, Hotpotato's script for CSV values, and you have great opportunities to make money.

P.S. I didn't take this trade because I was sleeping because of late exam last night, but this setup happens all of the time. As a trader always used to tell me "Opportunity is unlimited, capital is limited." This will come around again.

Ah ok, thanks. I mistakenly thought that the bar was to close above/below HAS for a long/short. My bad.

I do not have to say what the attached file does do i ? {file}
Please check my attached file, maybe you could modify data output to meet the kopratasa sheet ?

And maybe it could automatically delete the dublicates from buy/sell baskets? Or it should be done in excel

{quote} You didn't have any entry selected. When you have no entry selected it takes a long trade. I guess I will need to add a fix to catch those traders who do not make any selections and tell the Robot to jump into a trade at the start without any criteria for the type of trade to look for.
Thank you. That makes sense.

But even half asleep i am still sharp.

Kopratasa,

- I found different indicator rules for the TS in "SYNC BUY" and "SYNC SELL" baskets. (see attachments).
- Also the TS rules for fi. the cadjpy in the jpy basket is different than the one for cadjpy in the cad basket resulting in different indicators (see previous posted picture).

Is this intentional ?

Salam.

It is a script.
It only creates a .csv file for Kopratasas excel spreadsheet as described a dozen pages back.

I'm still learning the ropes with the trend analyzer, but isn't the "sync sell" basket you created a pretty good trade given that all the of TS indicators are in a "selling" position?

nope....it is not intentional.

sometimes it is due to column destination change for different excel version, copy&paste, deletion....few rules will be missplaced.
what I did always is to check the rules after I input the data to reconfirm so its updated correctly.
sometime this make things tough to be particular and make sure all column are input and calculated correctly.

need somebody who know well about excel to protect the rules and only allow for data input.
