so I have no idea if an EA would be capable of say, re-applying an indicator and telling you 'look, i'd love to tell you that signal still stands but things have changed".

Just so you know, no it cannot. EA's can only work with stuff an indi presents. If the indi doesn't present the info, the ea cannot work with it. If the indi presents false information, the ea is stuffed. Actually, it isn't quite that simple but I do not understand indi code. Indicators are coded by weird people who speak in tongues that the rest of us cannot even begin to comprehend.

So, whilst what you suggest might be possible, I cannot do it.

Hi Guys,

results for the week on H4 ootb, over 1500 pips by opening of London Thursday, overnight sunk back to minus figures. I've notice that after the first hour of London on a Thursday its a good time to close everything off. Could be a coincidence but perhaps not. However I'm a believer that once a trade goes into profit I should always come away with something so I'll do some adjustments.

Well, you kinda-sorta can (I think)

You query the indicator using shift(0), get a signal, and you're in... 3 bars later, you query the indicator using shift(3), and if the signal is still there, sweet, but if it's not, then, eerrr, aaahhh, um...

So, can we? Yes

Is it worth the effort? Eerrr, aaahhh, um...

Take care,

&

Have fun!

Hey Padnoter,

I've been watching the hgi on 15m t/f for a few days, letting it run on multiple pairs, & seeing all the alerts/signals as they change with time (a lot lot more (see attached example) than is seen when you just refresh and look historically - at a nice clean chart with few signals). In the end I thought I'd better just get started (as my brain was hurting trying to figure out from all the signals, what was what), and still hadn't decided which t/f, so plumped for 4 all at once just to see what would happen and which if any t/f I'd prefer.

Too early for any conclusions, but maybe there's something in running multiple t/f.. I'm thinking any change in trend shows first on lower t/f, so you may start getting pips on the lower t/f as the trend changes, as the higher t/f lose still being locked into the older trend???

just thinking out loud.

it's an interesting indi & ea

I've been playing with the multiple timeframe concept for a while now, and built http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... f=5&t=3685 (a combination of Steve's Once A Day, Once A Week, and Once A Month EA's).

The performance (or, rather, lack thereof), is more a reflection of how badly I butchered Steve's code, and not a reflection on the concept itself.

Time for me to re-learn how to code

Have fun!

Hi Steve,

I understand that with opposite wavy line, the Range and RAD open trades will be closed. Also if there is a valid opposite wavy line, a Range trade would not be opened.

In the attached chart, a Range sell trade was opened with an opposite wavy line. I guess it could be that at the time the Range trade was opened, the wavy line was no longer valid.

Just like to confirm with you my understanding of the logic is correct.

Cheers

Another observation :

This buy trade was opened and closed within seconds, don't know why ?

Please see charts.

I think the wavy lines killed that trade (if you have that option enabled)

I have been using HGB version 1f on OOTB H4 on 28 pairs during this week. After watching 1000 of green pips in demo yesterday just out of curiosity i went live at London open. Not to mention it was terrible day i watched few 100 green pips then gave back those pips to markets and saw some DD as well. Anyways i have two little observations. Most of my range trdes with 20 pips hit SL and many trades closed within seconds. I am back to demo now Steve please keep up the good work. Thanks

It would be better if the trade will not be opened because of the opposite wavy line to save commission and spread.
