We need an extra filter to ensure that Close[1] was on the correct side of the fast MA.

Steve v1f produced 2 trades in the one candle overnight for me.
EURNZD - both re-entry trades, 1st trade taken BUY 1.68751 at 12:00 closed for BE+2, 2nd trade BUY 1.68738 taken at 14:56 still open

1st trade is correct, but not the 2nd trade

Well, if a trade taken on one candle is closed on the same candle then the conditions are correct for a re-entry again because they were correct for the first trade. This means the bot will take a second trade. 4 hours is quite a long time so it is perfectly possible for this to happen.

An EA does what it is coded to do. You want it to do something different, you have to tell me to tell it what is different. EA's are not mind-readers. Nor am I.

Can we add an option to change the fixed TP and SL. Infact I love the idea from Bunker about "strench slope". Can we put them together?

I am going to leave this running live until the end of the week to see if it can make up some lost ground (and take the hit if not), then knock off for August and just run on demo.

I have an update coming tomorrow with some stacking ideas. I had intended adding Andy's ideas tonight as an option, but some now-deleted local difficulties distracted my attention. More tomorrow if I am in the mood, or Thurs if not.

Have fun.

• added a filter that will stop BASA taking a second trade during the candle in which an earlier trade closed.
• added Andy's moving average stacking function - details in 'Moving Average stacking' in post 1.
• added trade stacking - details in 'Trade stacking.' in post 1

Ok, fair call
I thought I had specified that for re-entry trades, but looking back I hadn't...
So, can we have it so it only trades once per candle?
and there has to be a close above/below 60 lwma to validate the set up.

Main entry's all look to be good

Trade stacking has huge potential - we all had a trade or two that moved a few hundred pips last week, so imagine we had taken extra trades as the market moved for us. How to initiate stack trades is going to be the big discussion point.

 if (useMaStack && (!detectMaStack(CurrentPair, PERIOD_H4, 21, 55, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE, OP_BUY, 0)))

 extern double breakDifferenceThreshold    = 3.5;   // for the break slope .

  if (useCSSH1 && (!cssLongH1 > cssShortH1))
            continue;

 if (useCSSH1 && (!MathAbs(myDiff) > breakDifferenceThreshold))             // got to have broke out  and into my direction
        continue;

Code: Select all

 if (useMaStack && (!detectMaStack(CurrentPair, PERIOD_H4, 21, 55, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE, OP_BUY, 0)))

I also use the CSS H1 to try confirm the pullback is over and CSS H1 strength starts heading in my direction with:

Code: Select all

 extern double breakDifferenceThreshold    = 3.5;   // for the break slope .

  if (useCSSH1 && (!cssLongH1 > cssShortH1))
            continue;

 if (useCSSH1 && (!MathAbs(myDiff) > breakDifferenceThreshold))             // got to have broke out  and into my direction
        continue;

Hope this also helps
