Hi all,

Been following this with interest.

I hate DD. Just as much as I hate large stops.

With this in mind, I slung Heikin Ashi candles on Bob's template.

If taking a short in a downtrend, after you get the signal from Bob's secret indi, wait for a red heikin ashi candle. Apply the same thinking to longs and counter trend trades.

This does sometimes mean you don't get in at the best possible point, but it also filters out a lot of trades that go into big DD and/or possibly end up negative.

Would be interested if this could be included as an option in the bot?

Cheers,

Rob

Hi Rob,

You suggest to wait after the appropiate colour candle has closed?

Hi Gertje,

Yes. Wait for candle close.

Hi there All.

Has anyone found that the EA does not take a trade, despite the indicator showing an arrow for a trade? I had found that I was in for example a CT short, a trend trade long arrow popped up on the chart and the EA either closed the trade and did not open in the opposite direction, or it just left the current trade open. The commentary on the EA says "No trade Signal"

Could this be McAfee anti virus? Surely not?

The EA was working blissfully well until, it was not working so well anymore

What?

Below is an example of the "No Signal" comment, as well as where the EA closed a short and did not open the opposite long...

You mean like this? Yes, I've seen a few. Funny thing is, there is no mention of the arrow in my platform's journal. How can the EA take a trade when the indi doesn't tell it to?

You gotta be smarter than me to figure out that stuff...

Wow, That's quite an observation.

I cant read that chart you posted... What TF is that?

Picture your EA taking pending orders, based on that theory? Get a new arrow, forget the previous one. Hmm... I can smell the cash

Good to know I am not the only one...

However, the EA seems to operate very smoothly. I am not sure what to make of it to be honest...

Yes, I'm quoting myself. This trade should be closed; that is unless Steve sees something that makes me look stupid. (which wouldn't be the first time)

Interesting... This exit was perfect- GU 4 Hr (tonight)

Interesting because my first indi exit was a wiff. This one was awesome!
