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)Ignored
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
(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...
