Hi Team,

I'm also experiencing the high CPU usage while trades are open. It basically locks up the platform. This EA is profitable and I'm excited about the possibilities. I thought I might just write my own that isn't so resource intensive. I'm not sure the flying buddha indicator is needed, since we are just looking for a previous candle where the low was above the moving averages for a sell signal or the high was below the moving averages for a buy signal. Anyways.....hopefully we can sort it all out. Thanks for all the hard work and sharing this profitable entry. TCO

I am also experiencing high CPU usage when I run the EA - it is hogging CPU resource like mad.

V 1g is in post 1.

I had forgotten to code a call to the FB indi only at the start of each new candle, so the custom indi was being called umpteen times - that would be what was hogging the resources.

:D

V1g seems not solving CPU loading problem. I've replaced V1e of V1g just a while ago. The CPU remains keep very high loading. When I turn off V1g, CPU loading drops to 15% something like this....

Hi Harry45, just to check with u, your EURNZD & EURCAD trades were also taken by FS? I didn't have those 2. But i have the sells on EG & EA which is consistent with yours.

Cheers.
TradeTalk from MT4i, ( http://www.mt4i.com/appstore/app.aspx?id=13&sort=name ) is a free EA that will email, SMS or Twitter trades opened, closed and pending, alerts are adjustable. You can format the messages to include the magic number and/or trade comment, good for identifying which EA took the trade.

Steve,

Very nice ea. Here is a suggestion for you.

If 14 day ATR is below 90 then do not trade or maybe make it a user input parameter. This is good as it will knock out low volatile pairs that do not move. No worries if you do not want to implement it, just a suggestion.

Regards,
Jeff
