Does this EA can close all positions for Friday at 21:45 hour of my MT4 ICMarkets if so, how it should be configured, someone help? {image}
on the very bottom, my guess is that the start time needs to be entered in whatever terminal time you want to close trades.

the other input does not make a lot of sense to me = when to stop. maybe give it like 10 minutes.

Heikin Ashi candles and particularly the PA - doji/spinning tops which almost always occur at tops/bottoms. I choose pairs that are trending (at least one directional HA candle after the doji candle), and also look at those that were showing the squeeze yesterday (smaller directional candle after a strong candle in the same direction, those are in my opinion the most likely to breakout). I pick 4-5 most promising trades My pairs from yesterday...

were AUDCAD short, EURAUD long, GBPUSD long, AUDJPY short. easiest and quickest way to earn >100 pips that I have seen in Forex. I am quite happy to compound the smaller win percentage everyday. This requires no fancy indicators, no worrying, just 5 minutes of work from my tablet in the evening. I have only just started this, but I am already quite optimistic about this method. Cheers and thanks, k
Kprsa, would you mind explaining me this method in a detailed selection of pairs with an example on the chart, whenever you get a bit of time if possible. It would be nice as I am trying and trying but to be honest I do not get the clue on how do you select the pairs to trade.

The red bits I have highlighted in your quote are how you select it but I dont understand them. Please do explain me, I will appreciate a ton.

Hi, read about price action as seen in Heiken Ashi candles and observe it on the chart. You can find tons of material online. That should help.
Doji/spinning tops are the Heiken Ashi candles having a long upper and lower shadow and a short body. They signify indecision and occur at tops and bottoms of the swing almost always. If the previous candle was a doji/spinning top, I will not take the trade. There has to be at least one normal HA candle after the doji, for me to take the trade. Also, if I trade into an existing trend. I will choose a pair where yesterdays candle is shorter than the usual/longest candle in the swing. I guess subconciously I also look at how far the current swing could go - I check for the support/resistance nearby... There is a degree of subjectiveness here still, and it may be that you and I would not choose the same trades. Still I would consider this to be an easy method. Stronger moves come after pullbacks which register as shorter Heiken Ashi candles. Really, just observe the price action on the daily timeframe and you should be able to see what I mean.
I guess take profit is also quite subjective... Just close your trades once you are happy with the earned amount. Oanda offers a trailing stop functionality, which I may try out.
I really cannot explain it better than this, and I think I have said most of this in my initial post. I am not interested in starting and maintaining a new thread and I feel I have hijacked the attention from the EA which is the central subject of this thread...

Hi,

Great job have been done by Robots LAb.

But i have some clues that i have found after some hours of testing. I have set the High time frame filter but still EA opens orders even if the color of the HAS are opposite.
Also i would like to know if both filters can be enabled because when i enable both it seems that EA opens position without both conditions has been fulfilled.
One more thing is that trailing stop jump don't seems that is working.
One other thing i would like to know since i am gonna trade D1 charts is it possible not to run it on vps but only open lets say half an hour before the D1 candle is closed , But as soon as it monitors if the Equity has reached the specified level of gain or loss according to percentage , is it possible the EA to set stop loss and TP and readjust them after every new order placed and as soon as it is D1 charts that will happen once per day and we would able not to be forced to use VPS services or leave the platform running all the time.
I really will appreciate any help of the thread owner or the EA creators. I am including the set file to make things easier just rename it to set instead of txt.

Alex

kprsa, you are always welcome here buddy ,

Your suggestion on not taking every HA/HAS signal, on every pair, does make sense.
I'll have to think about its implementation in HA_Rider.

Hi,

Nice thread
I started this strategy live two months ago with 27 pairs normal haiken ashi and I trade manually because I do not have an EA and my broker doesn't have a meta trader it is JAVA platform.
My question is: as we can see you are on AUD/CAD -73.0% how it is possible if you trade daily chart, that pair works perfectly?
EUR/JPY-61.9% same question,...etc?
Sorry if I missed something, I have read all posts but, maybe I didn't realize.

Cheers

Thanks, and I just want to say that you are doing a fantastic job both here and in the Robot lab.
I think this not trading dojis or support/resistance considerations are just some of those things that arise from the context (other candles before this one) and are difficult to program. Sure, one can say not to trade from candles whose body is less than 1/3 of the length, but these things are easier to see and judge just by eye than by an ea. If the trades would be taken every hour, or more often, it would be better to have an ea in my opinion, but the daily chart requires little effort.
It occured to me that a similar strategy could be used for binary options as well. I do not let the profits run, but just reopen new trades every day, which is similar to BO. The only disadvantage of binary options over this strategy is that one needs to take into account the timing also...

Most probably your HAS settings in the EA are different from HAS settings on the chart.

trailing stop jump works only if trailing stop is enabled.

Thank you for your info with trailing stop it is clear.

About HAS settings i am currently back-testing how can this be possible or i have to open a chart with the settings that i want to back-test it and afterwards do the testing ?
Can you also define if both Filters HAS and MA can be used simultaneously.

In backtesting EA will use the settings in the EA.
There is No need to apply the indicator on the chart unless you need it for visual following (this is applicable to forward testing also).

Yes, you can use both Filters HAS and MA simultaneously.

That is what exactly i did . I also have attached the set file so you can check if something in the settings are not correct.

Please don't misunderstand me i am not that person who only takes but i need to completely understand every detail how it is functioning in order to start giving to this wonderful thread

In your setting MA is disabled and SL/Trailing Stop are also disabled.

Trades closed at loss were because of Equity Loss % (5% in your settings).

As far as I can tell, it is working as it is supposed to.

Let know if you have any questions,

Note that in the previous chart no trades were taken on the last 4 candles, although HAS confirms it on lower and higher time frame.

That's because "Min. Distance in Pips or Points between orders" , which is set to zero in Alex's settings was not satisfied.

This input can be Positive so that each order has worse price than the previous order, or zero which will allow for next trade at the same price or worse,
OR NEGATIVE which will allow also for better prices in a martingale style (not recommended though)

Using previous settings, and changing "Min. Distance in Pips or Points between orders" to negative (-10000 points) and max orders to 20, AND increasing the Equity Loss input to 30%, allowed the EA to open trades on the last 4 candles:
