Hi Rene

I found another issue when use the EA with broker who does not support standard 28pairs. However, EA still be working and can open trade entries for the available pairs without problem. You will observe that AUDGBP is an extra pair while NZDCHF is missing from my broker. It would be better if we can customize pair list if that will not affect too much relation of calculation in the dash.

Hi Odsida,

There is no where is the code a hard coded list of pairs to use -- instead the code 'discovers' what pairs are available that have two of the eight major currencies in their name. Obviously, your broker has a GBPAUD and a GBPAUDm pair that mucks everyone up. There is an option to exclude all the pairs ending in small case 'm', but it seems that this would not help you, as most symbols do have an 'm' at the end and only a few don't.

You do know that Global Prime is the SHF recommended broker -- a broker that does things properly? I am not going to create a special version of MAD-EA, to support brokers that are not recommended and do things improperly. The best and easiest way for you is to open an account with Global Prime ... this would be an action you would never regret anyway.

Hi Rene,
Thanks for a comment. In fact I also have Global Prime account as well but just wanted to compare behavior of the EA in different broker environment. I will share my test result soon.
Thaks for your kind work.

Oki Doki ...this must be about my 4th post that has gone astray...I have had internet connection problems

Here is what I am tinkering with.....
All good with the trade input parameters we can set our trade direction in the general trend ie only trade in the direction of the medium term trend, have adjusted my t/frame from 1hr to 15 minutes...so what if I set very small moving averages fast and slow on different t/frames in the direction of the trend?...the possibilities are immense......and of course smaller s/loss and quicker trails on profit....Mad can do what is humanly impossible for any quick clear thinking brain...

will keep an update here...we are only touching the surface of Mad

I have been trying MAD-EA as a scalper EA. I tried LWMA3 and LWMA5 cross, let the EA detecting strength at M1 and M5 for a minimum of 4 same signals. Trading timeframe is M5 for LWMA 3 and LWMA5 cross as well. The opened trades are all managed by MPTM. I set MPTM to add tp 15pips, sl100pips but hidden tp 5pips and hidden sl at 35pips. This is because I don't want my broker to see where is my real TP/SL.

Even my screenshot of trade history was good but there still be some SL hit at 35pips each. Which is really a big burden. It will always happen during major pull back when session is changed.

My findings:
1. EA cannot exclude pairs with huge spread from auto trading mode. This eat up profit and allow more risk since the positions have to be opened longer.
2. Trading time setting works somehow incorrectly. The EA always fire a new trade no matter what local trading time I set. Rene, I am sorry that I could not spot any specific time.
3. Parameter, "Close unprofitable trades after xxx second", does not seem to work. Even I set, "Close trade?", as true.
4. EA runs very stable on my Empty4 platform, low cpu consumption (1-3%).

Recommendation:
1. Should add spread filter.
2. Trading time should be able to define as several sessions. So can avoid pull back during session change.
3. Once a basket hit TP or SL for x times per session, EA should be freeze by itself and then automatically resume once again at the new session.
4. It will be good to protect profit or even lost if number of maximum trades per session can be defined.

I have been testing EA with several setting until now. Most common problem is getting high profit at start and return all to the market at end of the day. I am aware that it is a matter of MA setting.

Any comment of suggestion are welcome.
Thank you Rene and George for developing a good system.
