Grrrrr........................still the same. Tried w 2 criminals, alpari uk and oanda.

Kelisa, there are 2 indicators you need:

10.2 TMA slope v.1.4B 4.30 for EA.mq4

and

10.2 TMA slope v.1.4B 4.30.mq4

It can be confusing as the names are very similar.
Just double check and make sure you have both of these indicators in your indicator folder.

I had the same problem as you at first and only realised after a couple of days that I only had 1 of the indicators.
Shelley,

This is from post 1

To run the EA, you will need the attached 10.2 TMA slope v.1.4B 4.30 for EA.mq4 in your indicator folder. The only difference between this and and the version you downloaded from Bob's post 1 is that I have removed the list of inputs. There are quite a lot of these; the more there are, the harder it is to code an EA to drag values from them. Nothing I could do would persuade the 'official' Slope indi to return a value, so I had to delete the inputs. Coders, if you can come up with an iCustom call that overcomes this prob, then great.

Only one indi is required : 10.2 TMA slope v.1.4B 4.30 for EA.mq4

Peter

Thank you shelly, peter and guys........

Hi Shelley

Beside the BE protection, do you manually close trades if Slope goes under +/- 0.8?

Thank you

Amazing !!!

Can someone tell me if NB 10.2 TMA Slope Display v0.3 updates intra-bar or only at the close of a bar?

Thanks

The EA was designed to open the basket at a specific time. I find that on days like today, I suspect a retrace, so I wait to see what markets do after open before activating Shelley. When I see the retrace is over, I want Shelley to kick in, but the only way is to wait for the next hour, i.e. I cannot choose it to kick in immediately upon attachment to chart. Would it be possible to have an option to choose the "activate by time" vs "activate imemdiately" as a parameter setting?
once again, sorry if I have gone against the grain and intent of what the EA was designed for.
If you support the idea though, please let me know. Thanks

You can activate Shelley by manipulating BasketSendHour. In that way you let it start when you want.

Vivaldi
Thanks Vivaldi. I was trying to get around waiting for the next hour.
If you are saying just fudge my PC clocks time to be the same as what's on the EA when I want "instant" activation a, then I think that will work brilliantly. ;) Thanks for the idea. :D

Depends on your settings - if you have EveryTickMode=TRUE then it updates every tick (but will chew processor a bit more I guess). Default is every minute - IndiReadTimeFrame=1.
All times are UTC Page 16 of 87
