ShelleyJem. Fantastic collision of accident and analysis

Some quick questions:
1) This EA does not need any other chart with 10.2 template and correspondant indis. Just attach it to a simple chart. Correct ?
2) Why there are only 23 pairs in the first extern variable of the EA instead of 28 pairs ?
3) When attaching the EA, "no active session is displayed", because time is outside NY, London & Tokyo sessions. To get rid of that, (for tests) what settings to do ? (put all time sessions = 0) ?
4) Why displaying properties of this EA is disabled? Try urself to right click on the chart , ExpertAdvisors/Properties ====> NOTHING there. Why ? (it's not solution to remove EA completly then reattach it, You agree ?)
Thanks in advance.

Although this was the real behavior of this EA, it Seems that these questions were deliberately ignored. So maybe newbies here are not really tolerated or considered as annoying people..... very helpful isn't it Guys ?

Hi,

Thats because, if we answer these questions, we might get beating from steve!!

Anyway, I will try:
1. No need 10.2 template, just drop indi on chart with allow live, allow dll.
2. 23 or 28 its up to you and what your broker offers. simply add in the pair if u need more.
3. Set your session open times according to your computer time. then it will show session active..or not.
4. Its mentioned many times in the threads, Empty4 is better if u attach the EA again with saved settings.

Hope that helps!

Effluvium, I think your post is a little out of line....
you only need to read through all the posts/threads and see that most people who are members in Steve's forum are extremely helpful.

Some things you may consider that could be the cause of the delay in a response...
Some people may be sleeping
Some people may be working
Those that are around may not know the answers
Some of the things you have asked, the answers are already in the thread


I think you may need to re-read the NB threads & I think a little patience is in order!!

Now, I will try to answer your questions for you:

1) As detailed in Post 1, Page 1

Shelley does not need any of the indicators from 10.2. Thanks to Paul (Baluda), the code for them is subsumed within the EA. Paul's contribution here is monumental.

2) I don't know...ask Steve (good luck with that)

3) As detailed in Post 1, Page 1

24 hour trading, adding to the basket and non-basket trading
To keep SJ looking for baskets throughout the trading day, set the session inputs so that the end of one and the start of the next are the same. This is the default.

4) Because that's the way it is!

Sorry if I sound a bit harsh, but I have had a pretty crap day and everyone on this forum freely give their time to discuss, develop & encourage each other, and yet you clearly don't appear to have even taken the time to read the first post.

Perhaps you should do this next

You're like a mom fxozgir with him

Thanks Phil...yes we should add your last point as well!

I have 20, 18 & 15 year old children, so attitude I can handle

Hi Team

Setting up SJ on demo now. Great work Steve and Jem and thanks for this great work. Looking forward to this one.

cheers

My jpy trades where closed after 1.05 H by ShelleyJem with 16.9 and 3.0 pip profit ?
I had Mptm on as well the stops were all ready moved to BE + 2
But the closing time is the same so it has to be ShelleyJem who caused that action??

Just forget this post I had Shelley .u detached

Hi Steve and Jemook

I'm in trouble with code to control MA H4 5.1 touch to confirm retrace before buy/sell

for Buy confirmation, you check if (iHigh(symbol, MaTimeFrame, cc) >= MaVal) return(true);
I think it shoud be if (iLow(symbol, MaTimeFrame, cc) <= MaVal) return(true);
as we want to see one last bar coming under MA for retracing before return into up trend.

Same think for sell.

Am'I right ?

Code: Select all

bool MovingAverageFilter(string symbol, int type)
{
   //Returns true if there was a touch/cross of the 5.1 H4 moving average
   for (int cc = 0; cc < TmaLookBackBars; cc++)
   {
      MaVal = GetMa(symbol, MaTimeFrame, MaPeriod, MaShift, MaMethod, MaAppliedPrice, cc);

      //Market must be <= Tma Lower line, to indicate a sufficient retrace to be tradable long
      if (type == OP_BUY)
      {
         //Cross/touch on current candle
         if (iHigh(symbol, MaTimeFrame, cc) >= MaVal) return(true);
         
      }//if (type = OP_BUY)
   
      //Market must be >= Tma upper line, to indicate a sufficient retrace to be tradable short
      if (type == OP_SELL)
      {
         //Cross/touch on current candle
         if (iLow(symbol, MaTimeFrame, cc) <= MaVal) return(true);
      }//if (type == OP_SELL)
   }//for (int cc = 0; cc <= TmaLookBackBars; cc++)

   //Got this far, so tma filter fails
   return(false);

}//End bool MovingAverageFilter(string symbol, int type)

Guys just a quick post to remind you to use the break even functions of this indicator! I'm still not sure what settings to use but during this recent uptrend trading ShelleyJem manually I've had three trades - one closure for +400 and then 2 for break even +10 (I think I was using standard settings)

I'll let you know when I find the optimal settings but for now just keep in mind that it will save you when it reverses. It's nice to know as well that the 2 break even closes were up in profit by quite a few pips so maybe I've got to aim for less pips, but much better than full stopouts!

Is it it just me having an issue with reopening this ea ???
after installing it on the map it wont reopen again for checking the settings.

I only can achieve this if I go one time frame up and then again back to the 1H TF.
then I can read and change or save the settings.

Maybe some one knows to solve this minor problem, or just ignore it if its just me and me old laptop.

hans..

just put shelley 1.u on again for the Jpy's 125 point's + atm

Hans, could you please share you set file for Shelley. I know this is not the right place to ask so if you could post it on Shelley's thread that would be gran and I will remove my post here. Just having issues with Shelley and can't figure it out just yet.
Thanks mate!

I just took a trade on GBPUSD & GBPJPY aiming for 100 pips.

ShelleyJem says this trade is no good because GBPJPY & GBPUSD aren't near the top band of H1 TMA. If GBPJPY/GBPUSD are near the top band of H4 this means a sufficient retrace has taken place. So maybe for the TMA requirements we need to look for a retrace to opposite H1 OR H4 TMA.

I've attached a pic for you.

Also what might happen now is we get confirmation of the 5.1 saying Sell and then price might retrace to top of the H1 TMA and then it will trigger. Which might also be good cause we get in a bit higher. Things to think about.

Jemook

I modify SJ to print TMA value. For GBPJPY, the 8 last upper value are between 123.39/123.53 with a bid = 123.12. That's why SJ dont' trigger it. but on my graph with TMAtrue Indicator TMAtrue upper = 122.80. So I think it's a proble m of calculation with

Code: Select all

void GetTmaTrue(string symbol, int shift)
{
   //This code replaces an iCustom call to Tma True. It is provided by Paul (Basluda).
   //Many thanks Paul. You are a star.
   
   double IB_TMA = iMA( symbol, TmaTrueTimeFrame, xi_Period, 0, MODE_LWMA, PRICE_CLOSE, shift );
   double ld_Range = iATR( symbol, TmaTrueTimeFrame, xi_ATR.Period, shift + 10 );

   TmaUpper = IB_TMA + (ld_Range * xd_ATR.Mult);
   TmaLower = IB_TMA - (ld_Range * xd_ATR.Mult);
   
   Print(symbol+" TMAupper = "+DoubleToStr(TmaUpper,5)+" TMAlower = "+DoubleToStr(TmaLower,5) );
   
}//void GetTmaTrue(string symbol, int shift)

Which TMATRUE indicator for Empty4 are you using ? Could you post a copy please ?
