MTF Trading System - fxozgirl Higher Time Frame spinoff

[cad0811]

The EA banked 404 pips this week with 17 trades currently open the floating pip count is +1017 even with that pesky AUDNZD flip which will get closed on Monday when the EA looks at the weekly trends.
Here's the EA with the option of choosing weekly or daily trend change for trade closure, daily might save some pips but also risk cutting some winners early, even that AUDNZD sell would still be open as it stands now with the daily 3ma under the 8ma, maybe a hard stop of 100 would be better but then news could knock a trade out early just thinking out loud.

The code looks to be behaving well so far, has anyone else got any EA results?

I use this EA, the default Settings, in my FXCM's account, the result is good!
Thank you for your great work!

I use 1000 points to close all of them.

There is a small problem: every time I open didn't seem to check history.
I mean: for example, in a few days ago after signal, at the start of EA is running, you can choose not to continue to open, waiting for a signal.

Good luck zader...maybe small lot sizes to start with

The smallest I can do I will be triple checking so I don't make the same mistake I did with the demo, I was only out by a factor of 10 on that.

Are you just changing:

Code: Select all

   
d3Ma = iMA(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 3, 0, MODE_SMMA, 0, 1);
d8Ma = iMA(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 8, 0, MODE_SMMA, 0, 1);

to:

Code: Select all

   
d3Ma = iMA(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 3, 0, MODE_SMMA, 0, 0);
d8Ma = iMA(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 8, 0, MODE_SMMA, 0, 0);

in void (CheckTrends)?

It's working very well right now. Thanks again for putting it together.

Cheers,
Dave.

yep, just that.

yep, just that.

Great - thanks. I will do likewise - if it's good enough for your live account it is certainly fine for my demo!

Cheers,
Dave.

I'm not sure I understand, are you saying the EA opened 2 trades on a symbol at the same time or the EA added a trade to an already open trade. I've just tried to get the EA to open a trade on a symbol that already has a manual trade running on it and it sees Open Trades = 1 and does nothing. Sorry if i've misunderstood.

Example：In September 20, buy signal, on September 22, unwind, open the EA on September 23, don't open trade,Wait for the back, signal to buy again.
English is not my native language, sorry!

OK, so buy on the 20th then hit SL or trend change on the 22nd, no trade on the 23rd sounds about right, if price retraced and hit SL on the 22nd chances are one of the dots on the MFTma's would have been red, remember the EA on the 23rd would have been looking at the close of MFTma's on the 22nd.

Don't apologise for not grasping English, it's been my native language for over 45yrs and I still struggle to make myself understood.

The SMMA on John's original template and the one I have been using all along have always been at Shift 0

Going by the rules I see GBPCAD as a long entry after pullback. Is this correct?
Thanks.
PS, Actually it would be the first entry after long signal on W1 and now all dots good on D1... so are we waiting for today to close and confirm those? I think that's where I may have got it wrong before also.
