Sorry it this is a dumb question. What at would be the guidelines to manually specify long/short direction? A higher tf trend? In this case perhaps this could also be automated.

Mark,

Yours is not a dumb question. Indeed, as a Forum member you are in the right to inquire.

I am almost done with:

• filter(s) to avoid whipsaws; and
• method to determine the directional bias;

and these shall become part of the automated order placements in due course of time. But this is a huge task and shall take considerable time.

I have been posting the readings on Long/Short directions, at times with charts. But, for easy reference, I shall henceforth place these in Post 1 as updates.

The VPS is online. But I shall only reactivate the EA after thorough testing -- another 5 hours, or so.

Presently, I do not feel it the right time to say any more on filtering the trades than what I have already posted. Your patient will be appreciated.

Thank you for posting 1.3.1.

However, your presumption about pending lines being left over from running the EA earlier is wrong.

Your version(s) posted above:
• goes Long, and stays Long; and
• goes Short, and stays Short.

This means any unrealized profits would be unprotected against a sudden adverse move.

Such trading is not congruent with either with the Trading Conditions, nor the core beliefs set out in Twenty-eight Valuable Rules; both in Post 1. Therefore, I ask you to please remove the codes you have posted, and replace them with one with ability to go flat when opposite trade conditions are met.

I would appreciate any contribution by any member which is in harmony with whatever I have characterized in Post 1.

I request your understanding in this matter. This is what I know: the number one cause of failure in trading is because of the failure to correctly understand, and control, risk.

I have sent you a PM. Please go right ahead. But please do not post here; we need to privately test the code first.

Warning: I can be frustatingly difficult to work with.

Second time in 8 days. Therefore, taken the demo off.

I shall be greatful for advise where to host, please :

Thank you.

Cannot do the demo from my location because we have no grid electricity 10 hours out of 24, and the ISP is forced to go off for about 30 minutes every 2 hours.
