The EA lacks the polish of a commercial system, I'll certainly give you that. There really isn't any easy way to deal with failed tickets. I could cobble up some spaghetti code as a bandaid but I think this is a case where it's more trouble than its ...

RiskPercent specifies how much of your account balance you wish to risk per trade (default 0.02 = 2%). Exits are when the trade either hits TP or SL, or if both AO and AC change to the opposite of the entry color (not necessarily at the same time).

Hayseed created an indicator that I believe does alerts. Check the earlier posts please.

As the EA programmer, I should probably say something but Ash has already said it all. I'm all for improvement as well, so if Ash were to amend his rules based on input from this group then I'll do the same for the EA. However, I will not be ...

PipGoddess, SL and TP are determined by the rules of the system, you do not enter them yourself. The new version does allow for fixed lots however, so if you downloaded 1.2, remember to compile it before use. -Flying Fish

Hi dovgr, No, that's not it. The EA will properly handle that situation. Thanks for your suggestion though.

Whoops, my bad. What I said above is my normal style, however in this case, the EA will only open one trade at a time and it remembers that ticket number, however.... Very Important If you turn your computer off, lose power, or even just change time ...

The program checks to see that the symbol (currency) matches along with the magic number. So running different symbols on the same platform is okay. What *won't* work is running the same currency on two (or more) different time frames at the same ...

Hi FxHound, I'm currently away from my platform, so I can't comment specifically on your trade. I'll cover the two exit possibilities: One, either the SL or TP is hit, that's pretty straight forward. The other exit is when both the AO and the AC ...

The EA works on all time frames. Due to the nature of the beast, the spread plays a larger role in lower time frames and therefore may not be practical. If you had fractional pip spreads (such as ECN) then it would be more worthwhile.

LOL, yes a lot of trades seem to slip by within one or two bars, but how many bad trades did we avoid because of this? Best, Flying Fish

Well, I sure don't want to be monitoring it every hour or whatever time frame you choose, so I wrote the EA. Best, Flying Fish

This is correct. The rules state to enter at the close of the nailed candle, i.e. at the start of the next candle. The EA enters at the open (start) of the next candle.

Do you mean here? If so, only the SAR changed not the AO or AC. Remember, all three indicators must change all at the same time. If this isn't the spot, please post a pic. Thanks.

For those trades the EA may have missed -- please check the Expert tab on your console to see if there were any error messages from the EA. I can think of one situation where the computed lots will exceed your margin requirements all the while ...

No, the EA does not care about the zero line -- only when the bars change color. Thanks for your suggestion though.

Hi FXHOUND, I don't see a trade setup on my chart, could you post yours? BTW, I use IBFX.

The EA will set TP and SL in accordance with the rules. RiskPercent is the percentage of your account balance you'd like to place for each trade (default 2%). The lot size will be variable as each trade will be different, however you still won't be ...

Thanks Ash, I have now updated my EA to reflect that change.
