Pinhead posted an interesting ALF/ALMA crossover idea on teh other thread here ALF and ALMA seem to be working pretty good together. Much more stable than EMAs in tight ranging conditions, and less lag too it seems. Might be worth trying. SQ

bingo!

Thanks for that. Indeed the ALF/ALMA crossover looks nicer than basic EMAs. The current SELL trade on EU would have made around 25 more pips ! ALF is really nice in that it stays very stable in tight ranging conditions. EMAs are very unstable, ...

whip, i can't see enough of the journal to tell... it's just a line or 2 below... can you copy/paste the text in the journal ? SQ

mine too.... a HUGE 100+ pips drop in 50 minutes.... We are now near the "exhaustion" aqua line. SQ

the probable reason is that the yellow/plum lines are EMAs taken from "CLOSE" price, which is the current price for the current candle, so they will is "repaint" a little at each tick. When the cross occurs we enter the trade, then it takes only a ...

I sent a new version to Steve a few minutes ago, it will be available soon. It has a "debug" Print() the tells why the trade gets closed (other than hitting its TP), so we should get more info on that... Post a copy of the "Journal" tab when that ...

channel fix for Vegas — grrrrr... to get the channel correct, remove the 0, in the array below: int RiskChannel[] = { 0,13,21,34,55,89 }; should be: int RiskChannel[] = { 13,21,34,55,89 }; SQ

How to Start/stop/close_trades with BWB — Also: you MUST move the green "START" button to start trading. To do so, double click the green "START" text, this will highlight it with a box around it, then drag this box away from its location -- ...

how about turning this turtle into a rabbit ? — Ok, now we have our nice little shiny body. But it merely has just a "reverse" gear, it is fueled with dirty-water, and powered by a tired 1-leg pedals system... We need to buy it some ...

that's right, the EA does not check market hours, and because it is "always on" rather than tick-triggered, it will keep trying forever until the server gets tired and shuts you off eventually... Let's think about a way around this... I have ...

when you get the errors again, copy the "Experts" tab messages instead of the "Journal" tab, it will show the Alerts (Journal does not). Well perhaps the Journal also displays the errors, I can't remember. Of course, i couldn't get these errors ...

Alerts are showing up in case of errors when trying to send trades. I'm getting often errors for "invalid trade price", don't know why though... open price is correct compared to the pair's ask/bid... Or even "invalid trade volume", although i have ...

Fix for weekend hours and DST — I coded the DST and w-e stuff... It should now properly detect week-end hours whatever broker and timezone you are in, and also apply DST shift automatically. So, now there should be very few "missing bars" ...

Re: screen not refreshing correctly — I had the same behaviour too. Thanks to p777m, it made me remember that it should call "WindowRedraw();" to force it to redraw even if no tick comes in. I added this call at the end of the DisplayBasket() ...

BWB "blur" trading logic... — I'm now trying to better understand what BWB does (not BWBB yet...). I see TradePrice[] are taken from GlobalVariables if they do already exist. That's to recover from a platform crash or ...

Steve, this EA is going to be another Award Winner !!! It's fascinating to look at the Upl moving up and down so quickly... (well, up more often than down hopefully) I wish we would plot Upl live onto the chart -- an offline chart perhaps ?... ...

You might want to add #property show_inputs in the beginning, so we can change the settings when loading it. Also, an "Emergency Close All Trades" option to force it to close all trades at any time we want would be welcome. If you close trades ...
