Max Trades set to 5 .
Only seems to take one trade per currency . Out of the last 3 trades it took it enters on Blue wavey line , not sure if it is only taking blue wavey line trades and ignoring trend arrows or if its limited to only taking one trade at a time per currency .

Please change code in OnTick(), read comments

Code: Select all

   //Trading
   if(EveryTickMode) OldBarsTime=0;
   if(OldBarsTime!=iTime(NULL,TradingTimeFrame,0))
   {
      OldBarsTime = iTime(NULL, TradingTimeFrame, 0);
      ReadIndicatorValues();//Remember to delete the call higher up in this function if EveryTickMode = false
      if (TimeCurrent() >= TimeToStartTrading)
         if (!StopTrading)
            if (OpenTrades < MaxTradesAllowed)//Un-comment this line for multi traders. Leave commented 
                                                //for single traders
            //if (TicketNo == -1)//Comment out this line for multi-traders. Leave uncomment 
                               //for single traders  
            {
               TimeToStartTrading = 0;//Set to TimeCurrent() + (PostTradeAttemptWaitMinutes * 60) when there is an OrderSend() attempt)
               LookForTradingOpportunities();
            }//if (TicketNo == -1 or if (OpenTrades < MaxTradesAllowed))
   }//if(OldBarsTime!=iTime(NULL,TradingTimeFrame,0))

Thank you Isabek

It is now taking multiple trades.

This is a fantastic EA but has one problem.

I tested this EA for the last 3 days in parallel on 24 pairs on 3 TF (5/15/30). Every day on every TF it had a positive result.

My analysis has shown that 90% of the losses can be avoided with HURST filtering enabled.

Can you include the option to enable HURST signal filtering on this EA?

Best regards
Wojtek

Prove it or shut up about it. You are starting to annoy me. Take a guess where annoying me ends.

This thread looked like it had potential but has been eerily quiet, has anybody been testing this? if not I will fire a demo up myself.

Thank you note
It is my first post on this forum.

Thanks to Steve and Thomas and all the coders in the house for their generosity. Thanks to all the people who have put in decent efforts to develop all the strategies on this forum. I have been a silent tester here for over 2 years. Testing and testing, looking for the right mix. I eventually found HGI, Sixth and HGI MTF as the decent combination. Every other trade decision I make revolves around these.

My favourite EAs on this platform are PoS, HGB n Thomas, DFC Dashboard EA (to select my watch list) and the new addition (Slopey Crossy Bob). With the HGI MTF, I see something unique. I can decide the trend, entry and exit. It is beautiful.

HGB n Thomas
HBG n Thomas is a cool bot. It trades exactly as I want (alignment of 15, 30, 60 & 240). With the high ADR pairs like GBPJPY, it's easier to stay longer in trends. The challenge at the moment is the exit point.

Have a look at the attached images especially the EurUsd and UsdChf.
Once the trade condition for sell is fulfilled (that is 15, 30, 60 & 240 are red), all buy trades belonging to the magic number of the EA should be closed and place a sell trade.
In other words, can we have an option in the EA to use the same condition for opening as closing the opposing trades. The current closure option only works for the trading time frame but that often close trades prematurely.

My request below;
1. Same condition for closing and opening
2. Option to choose how many higher tf to align for the close condition to be respected (just as we have for opening)

I apologize if this request sounds stupid but it is an option I would love to have in the EA.

Thank you and enjoy a pipfull week.

You probably can and quite easily, but I have learned from grim and bitter experience to pin people down to writing what they actually mean. Not everybody likes this, but it saves me pain so I do not care.

Did you mean the words I highlight here:

YES

[SteveHopwood]

YES

Then I am sorry but I do not understand you. Your request appears ludicrous. You are in the same position as coding commissioners have been since the dawn of SHF. Make yourself clear or there is nothing I can do for you. It is up to you to clarify yourself; I will make no attempt to understand you. Coders are not mind readers.

I will explain further.

At the moment, the EA closes trade based on the signal on the trading tf alone. But i want an option for the EA to close only when there is a signal to trade in the opposite direction; in which case the EA would have confirmed minimum htf alignment. So for a buy signal, place a buy and also close sell trades. For sell signal, place a sell and also close buy trades.

Buy Scenario
Assuming the that the buy condition below is fulfilled, HGB n T will normally place a buy trade.
Trading tf: M15 (Up)
Htf: M30 (UP), H1 (UP), H4 (UP)
Minimum Htf Alignment: Assume 3
My request: Upon placing the buy trade, I want the EA to also (at the same time) close all existing sell trades for that pair.
So during a sell trade, trading tf can change up and down several times. The sell trade will hold until the trading tf and the higher tf align for a buy signal (depending on the input in the minimum htf alignment). At this point, the EA will open a buy trade and close all existing sell trades.

Sell Scenario
Assume the that the sell condition below is fulfilled, HGB n T will normally place a sell trade.
Trading tf: M15 (Down)
Htf: M30 (Down), H1 (Down), H4 (Down)
Minimum Htf Alignment: Assume 3

Thank you and apologies for the blabbing.
