attached a little EA that I just put together in post #1

magic shift

because a stop loss of 0 means no stop loss. And when comparing current price with current stop loss then 0 would always be smaller than the price for buy orders, but when you have a sell order then 0 would mean the stop is completely on the *other* ...

Almost ready EA, code works for BUY orders, but not SELL orders

This is an important question and i have no definite answer. Like every other system involving moving averages, stochs and other indicators with adjustable period this will need to be retuned at some time or it will stop working just like all the ...

magic shift

I have made something similar, it doesn't use the accelerator, but it does something very similar: http://sites.google.com/site/prof7bit/autocorr The above is NOT an EA for this system, it just shares its main idea.

magic shift

This can only be traded with an EA. I tried trading this manually by using only some of the signals that seemed right but were bad and ignoring others that seemed wrong but proved to be right after a few bars. This is the behaviour i expect from ...

magic shift

Yes, this 61 shift only started about after last september (and has been extremely stable since then). Older parts of the history have different shifts, you can easily find them (and the times where they changed) by using the optimizer. You can also ...

magic shift

Would be easy to write. And since these are historic values that cannot repaint it would be even possible to plot the signals up to 2 weeks (61 bars) into the future.

magic shift

I dont recommend it to newbies. This system is not meant to be traded by hand, but if you want: put an accelerator on your chart, count backwards 61 bars and read the old accelerator value there.

magic shift

Read the first Posting! If we are already long from the previous bar then of course we just stay long (do nothing), if we were short we reverse the trade (close the short and open a long).

magic shift

Exactly as i wrote it. Look at the unmistakable code snippet for reference.

magic shift

how? found by just trying them all. Why? Characteristic property of this market at this time. Maybe a proof for the existence of extensive robo trading by big players.

magic shift

I spent months with neural nets, support vector machines, ARIMA models and similar things, trying to find repeatable patterns in the history until i realized that i was only exploiting autocorrelations. Then i simplyfied the model to the point where ...

magic shift

yes, but the question is why does the same indicator show different values when attached manually to the chart and when used via iMA(). Available history data should be the same in both cases, My theory is that in backtest only a maximum of x bars ...

Major problem with metatrader

Almost correct, but offline charts ignore default.tpl, they only work with offline.tpl

"Ghost" Orders displayed after Backtesting

The goal is enabling you to sucessfully debug this problem. First you should learn to make extensive use of the Print() function, this is your most important friend when it comes to debugging. Go through your code as if you were the computer (where ...

Almost ready EA, code works for BUY orders, but not SELL orders

Maybe this is a typo and must be like this: newSL=NormalizeDouble(newSL,Digits); PS: Please wrap your code into CODE tags when posting here in the forum to preserve the formatting. Furthermore it is always considered bad style (bad readybility) to ...

Almost ready EA, code works for BUY orders, but not SELL orders

Are you really planning to put real money into Marketiva? There are not many good things to read about them on the web. Furthermore their trading platform itself has some really annoying design flaws and restrictions: * you can not place stops at ...

100$ to..........?

And in addition to that i would make myself a library that contains all these useful functions (like the CountType() example from the posting above) that you will need over and over again in all the EAs that you will write in the future. You will ...

EA programming - STUCK - Pls Help

highs and lows of course! Close prices are only random prices, sometimes near the average, sometimes elsewhere, but never with any special meaning. They are different on every timeframe because they are just arbitrary prices taken at arbitrary ...

[POLL] How do you draw S&R and trend lines?
