If all conditions are met i enter as soon as the arrow appers.

The arrow appears anytime there is a cross, it dosent wait till the close of the candle.

Ok. I imagine this will degrade the machine's performance significantly, but there is nothing to be done about that.

The EA will be up and running later - it is nearly finished now but I have a lesson in a few minutes.

Also, I am using my shell to code it, and this comes with the usual panoply of thingies. Shall I: 1) leave them in; 2) Remove them altogether; 3) Hide them without removing so they can be easily recovered later.

I suggest 1), apart from the open trade management stuff, but the call is yours.

If this looks like having legs, I shall import the indi code into the ea - it only consists of calls to MA, ATR and RSI, so it is possible to bring them in house. It is just that I lose the will to live when reading indi code, which is why I have not done so yet. Plus, I am in a hurry.

Can you give information on stops and exits please?

Thanks!

Hi GT3RS,

I usually use a 90 pips TP ang a SL of 35 pips. You exit a treade as soon as you see an arrow in the opposite direction.

For better entry's look at the 4H and D1 trend and trade only in that direction on the 15 minutes chart. i.e if the 4H and D1 trend is UP you look to take only buy signals on 15M.

If you need more clearification pls feel free to ask.
