I've checked the box. It is not just 1 pair, it happened to a few pairs.
I jumped from 1e to 1h, I remembered it did close trade with opposite wave line. May be I am wrong.
Not sure, I cleared everything when starting 1h, no VVV seen yet.

Thanks Gertje for responding to my question in my previous post:
"Thanks for helping the less experienced among us. Have the new 1h version up on 14 charts , all on H4. Looking at the charts, it seems that one way to trade this way would be to enter at the appearance of a large arrow, and exit at an opposite wavy line. Simple, straightforward and overcomes one of the problems I have been having as a US citizen - violating the anti-hedging rules. I would disengage all other methods, staying in trades longer maybe but great results.

Are there inputs existing so that this approach could be setup? If so I don't see how to do it."

You responded with suggested settings, which I made.

What I am seeing with those settings is entries are made after the formation of a large arrow or wavy line. This is the case with the GBPAUD open trades and pending orders shown on the attached. What I had in mind, if possible, is for HGB to place the initial trade only at a large arrow or opposite wavy line. Then the RAD orders that follow would be opened in accordance with the rules. With existing inputs I do not see a way to accomplish that. Do you feel that what I describe has merit and should be proposed to nanningbob and Steve?

Thanks.

Hi John,

Since the EA is 4 days old, we're all "less experienced" with this beast.

I just have some experience with Steve's EA's so I can understand what he is trying to accomplish.
I also TRY to keep up to speed with Bob's writings, so I have some knowledge of what he is trying to tell and Steve is trying to write in code.

I started Forex in 2009, and have spend the value of a good size familycar in the meantime. Just last year or so did I manage to stay afloat with my accounts.

To answer your question;

The way you describe is possible within the EA, except the RAD as a pending. The RAD fires a market-order.
If you don't want the pendings, set the "trend trade multiple positions" all to '0' to disable this option.

That way there will be one order on the big Arrow, and one order on the RAD arrows.

Best,
Gertjan

Another question:
Will the RAD pending orders also be deleted on opposite signals?
Haven´t come so far in my testings.

Cheers Maximilian

I allready saw the scripts Steve made. Working like a charme, but automatically would be even better ;)

Just in case this idea hasn't already been suggested -

Possibility of having the exit on a H1 position on the EA being a big arrow signal in the opposite direction on a lower TF (M5, M15)?

My sincere respect,

The Wolf.

Hi Wolf,

I have all 28 major/minor crosses loaded up. Basically everything except for the exotics. However I'm terribly noobish.
I think a lot of people here use all 28, with the most common omissions being any NZD crosses.

Hi Wolf

Most of us will be running multiple Demos using all 28 pairs that are setup using the "Open Charts in Alphabetical Order Indicator". Then use something like 'Tradereport indicator by Renexxxx' or Myfxbook to track the profit/loss on each pair. Once we have enough data we can start selecting which settings and pairs work best.

An issue I faced was having so many demos open (10 at one stage) it was difficult to know which was which. An easy solution was to place the Demo name the Empty4 Profile (eg "HGB Demo 1"). Then you can see instantly down the bottom of the Empty4 platform what the Demo is called.

Kind regards Richard
