{quote} Hi krismitt, Thanks for the EA , loaded ea and set file into presets, running ea on gold h4 for 3 days no trade ? can you help, Thanks
Don't think you have an issue Montego, since you are forward testing.
See last two signals (bars) in the pic. (yellow arrows)
EA would not have taken the last SELL Entry as this would have been filtered by the Higher Timeframe Conditions.

Trade well.

Hi
Been trading this Ea on Demo since 06/06 but it has opened one position, which was a winner, so has anyone got more trades than this?

Try to understand the logic behind the EA. I presume you are trying to trade H4 Gold using the .set file that Krismitt provided?

If so then you will see that on D1 the 5EMA is still above the 8 EMA which means that the EA is favouring longs.
However on H4 we can see that price is now below the 5SMA so is favouring shorts. This has been the case since around midnight on 06/06.

If you understand how this works you can adjust your settings and experiment and share your findings.

If I got this wrong then you need to show your settings so someone can offer some help.

Edit: H4 price below the 5 SMA does not favour shorts as such. A cross and close above the 5 sma is what you need for a long trade to open (as long as the D1 conditions remain the same (5EMA above 8EMA))

bvc,
wizlon32 has it correct.. we need more information (ie. Gold or Forex pair(s))

This EA is long term trading .. trading daily trend but entering on 4 hr... if your Daily trend is is still in the direction it was going when the first trade you had opened then re enter on a pull back ... but you'll need to monitor the trade manually.

bvc:

In addition to the very accurate comments by wizlon32 and MTPockets, the EA has some flexibility which you might wish to explore.

For example, you could Disable the Higher Time-frame Check so that EA takes Trades in both directions (Trend and Counter-trend). There is a big difference however, between "more trades" and "winning trades".

You could also adjust the settings to Trade the H4 Time-frame with Entries on a Lower compression (H1 for example). However, these are options that you will need to explore. You would also need to play around with Stop Loss and Trailing Stop Inputs.

Trade well.

I am surprised not to see many more test results by now.

This EA will make you money if you try. I know for a fact that it is a very well thought out and considered Expert Advisor. It may seem simple (which is a positive) but there is power in it's simplicity.

As Krismitt said, Explore! Explore the settings. Explore the time frames and share your results. Then expand on those results. This thread could become one of the best EA threads that there has been.

Maybe I should be using this EA on a Practice account instead of a Live account .... but having been a follower of BigE (when he was alive and able to answer questions) and having great success with his method. This EA that krismitt has expanded on BigE's method by putting it into an EA that is simple and uncluttered and profitable.
I'm thinking the next step on improving this method is putting it into a Dash (something like GVC has offered in his thread).

What are your thoughts??
Krismitt I can't thank you enough for taking the time and effort for sharing.

but instead of "Candle direction" , the 5 & 8 ema cross in the 4hr, Daily, Weekly and maybe Monthly.
And the Trigger (5 EMA shift 3 ) time frame in the place of "Signal" and the Hodgepodge template set as the Dash Template

I am considering the following for the next revision of this EA:-

  1. Option to close Trade on HA Colour Change; and
  2. Option for re-entry after Colour change
  3. Option for exit of trade only on opposite cross of Moving Averages on Higher Time-frame

What do you think?

Regards
