I already have that EA. Steve coded it for me a while ago. Currently it only works when dragged onto a chart. I have 26 charts open (one for every pair that I work with) and as soon as a trade is entered with the same magic number the ATR exit will kick in. It works in it's basic form, but I don't want to release it just yet. It needs to be perfected further before I'll put it on the board. The reason is that in the past, great ideas have gone down the drain because people lost interest. I need to test more to be able to now which timeframes and which parameters work or don't work.

Don's has put a lot of effort and time in his indicator. It shouldn't be a big step to turn it into an EA that enters the market. I think it will also lead to more people coming in to this project.

Willem-Bram,

I understand you wanting an EA. I wish I could continue to do all things free, but unfortunately I still have things I've got to do, and I can't even afford cigarettes.

Having said that, I have been working constantly, have made a small fix to the indicator that draws MO,MP,LMHL,MPSR,MFSR,WO,WP,LWHL,WPSR,WFSR,DO,DP,YDHL,DPSR,DFSR. Whew! Anyways, I am using it even on M5 on up to H1, although I don't see a problem with using it on H4 either now.

The AllPairs indicator I have made into an EA, but am not giving all that work for nothing when I can't afford to live. Hope you understand. I'll do what I can, but being broke when I code so much and give so much is over. I'll sell my stuff and the best stuff I can find out there, most that people need and don't know it yet. If that makes someone angry because I gotta take care of myself and my wife and have chosen to do it by donations, affilate promotions, and selling my own products (since affiliate stuff has given me more than you'd think and my own stuff less than I'd think), the Lord will take care of me, my family, and He wants to help everybody. See my About the Author on my website to see my goals.

Oh yeah, please tell me what you think everyone, of my website. And if you would do me a favor, please recommend me on my LinkedIn professional page.

Thank you all!

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I gotta go rest.

Kindest regards,

Don

Don,

A fresh shave!

I want an EA is maybe a bit blunt, but yes I think there is good potential in your indicator and I'm very interested in exploring it further.

I am a system trader. I want no emotional bais, so I will only use fully automated systems on my live accounts. Off course I monitor everything closely and make adjustments where needed. Markets change, so systems need to adapt.

Your indicator looks good, but it will need to prove it self over a longer periods. I've dived into a lot off system that worked fine one quarter, but totally busted the next quarter.

If you have something worth paying for, I'll be happy to do so. Steve also did some programming on my request and it is more than normal to reward that.

Willem-Bram,

Yeah I figured I was ready for a change. Not cold enough to look like too much of a hermit even though I am LOL.

The thing is, this is commonly misunderstood, since I don't have to prove anything about my EA other than it trades according to rules. A strategy either is profitable or not. If not, then the EA will not be profitable. I had another coder even who said something about my EA proving itself. All I can say is I spent a lot of time on it to make sure it does what it's supposed to, and can plug about any strategy into it pretty quickly. I have no need to prove a strategy. It's up to the strategy to prove itself. But if it's a crap strategy or a great strategy, my EA will trade it.

I've also made updates to my BuyBasket_WeeklySep indicator but haven't uploaded yet, because what it has in it makes it worth more than it was before, yet it's one of my under-appreciated indicators that made me make an offline CurrencyTraderEA that trades currency baskets on offline currency basket charts. A lot of code, but can't say I want to give it all away for nothing. Those who have ever donated to me will get the updated Buyaskets indicator. And yes, I have plans on making it auto-trade possibly. The sky is the limit.

Kindest regards,

Don

Plus,, updates come included if someone donates to me as they get put on my email group list which I have decided to keep so I can help those that have helped me, more than those who have used my indicators and EAs to profit while I haven't.

If someone pays me, then I will surely make the needed corrections if any to make the paid for EA trade correctly if it doesn't. But to get complete an EA based on a promise to pay, and never get paid, is not something I want to do anymore.

Believe me. I know what you're saying. I need an EA too because I'm too emotional to trade without one that has profitable defined rules.

Kindest regards,

Don

ok getting this down to one indicator 10.3B. I took the colored back ground and gave it two positions. One gives the 10.3 colors and one gives the 10.2a colors. This made is a very simple read now. 10.2a will give you a green for buy, crimson for sell, and goldenrod for ranging market.\

10.3 will give you maroon for sell, forest green for buy and grey you missed the trade.

Together you can have a quick read on whether you want to do a 10.2a trade, 10.3 trade or both. Obvously both green are strong buys, both red strong sells. Then there are range buys and range sells that is goldenrod color with green or red. Then there are one saying red and the other saying green splits decisions. A white arrow is also by the colored boxes to show you whether you have a buy or sell direction. They do not indicate a range situation. Anyway time for bed for me have fun with this update. My final edition will have the TMA slope on the bottom instead of directions.

at one time these were both red for a good sell trade for the day. I wish I could give more examples but almost every currency is showing arrows in both directions which means the market sucks right now.

Basically 10.2a signals give longer term trades, you may want to hang in there longer. 10.3 are short term signals. In and out. 10.2a shows up 10.3 shows down, play it tight and watch out for whiplash.

Fantastic Bob!
Thanks a lot. Great idea with the arrows - now colorblinded folks like me won't have to think that much :)
