trend catching with NonLagDot indicator

​For those interested in the EA, it would appear that the close trades on reversal of the nonlagdot indicator is diminishing returns on backtest with the default WMA length so I would suggest expanding the length to beyond 50 to allow for more tolerance in retracements.

​Yes, Yes and when contrary bar is completed in new direction.
You wouldn't necessarily think of that as being a good thing!

I am sure you will get many peeps like me asking about all sort of changes to your EA. (and I don't even know how to use one.)

But if I did, I would like to only take trades in terms of a higher T/F direction. So given that this thread is about trading with nonlagdots, if using say the m5 or m15 for trades I would only act on a signal to go long if the H1's last two dots are green. (that being for the current bar and the last closed bar.)
Good Trading

​That's a great comment and is what makes these think tanks so productive. It's probably time for me to leave the EA alone as I have been caught in the past trying to tweak and overcomplicating things.

I mentioned in my previous post that with smaller WMA values such as 20, the automatic close of the trade on the change of the nonlagdot color diminishes returns and I would advise of a larger setting around 70 to prevent this from happening.

Please don't stop the development because of anything I've said. Your contribution here is huge with the EA , MM and back testing. I'm sure it's appreciated by many, who have just not commented yet. (like me) You seeing value in the thread is the reason I've kept following it.
Good Trading

​Using TakeProfit 9999 in the EA is causing an Order Send error so please use TakeProfit 1000 to trade with nonlagdot reversal as the close signal.

{quote} ​this candle I call it signal candle. the break of this candle is the entry point.


Hi Lebaneese, could you tell me more about your exact entry point? do you mean that you enter after closing a candle (for example a sell entry) lower the signal candle or you enter the trade as soon as the price passes the lower point of signal candle?
also can you give us some examples of your exact entry points by picture?
thanks in advance
