Nice stuff but are you sure that all is working fine here?. Please take a look to attached picture. Trigger is when price is below MA and STO should be above 55.

Thanks
Hi morepipsspls,

Thank you for testing and reporting this one. I had implemented the stochastic filter at a very late hour and instead of the documented "Stochastic must be above StochHighLim and falling for Short; Stochastic must be below StochLowLim and rising for Long"; was checking StochLowLim for short and StochHighLim for long trades. Everything else appears to be done properly.

Attached the new version 2.2 that resolves this issue. Changes are:
swingOne v2.2
- Updated comment text shown on the screen so it is more useable in smaller screens
- An issue in stoch filter resolved
Thanks for your prompt reply. This is a fantastic job!. I just switch on EA although it happens the same. Take a look to picture attached, it is a open eur usd sell but STOCH filter is not inside my defined range to trigger this trade.

Regards

This is worse, I can´t see cross down defined by MA. Stochastic Oscillator is too low to open a sell trade as well.

Gann plus and minus values are crossed in your screenshot. If this is enabled as an entry trigger (default on) the EA will initiate a trade.

Regarding the stoch filter, I cannot see an obvious bug so if you can send the screen capture for the trade in experts/files folder and the logfile in the same folder along with your settings that will be helpful.

Found the issue and believed to be fixed. Please see attached v2.3 of the EA.

You would think I would know the difference between < and > after 20 years in the software business :)

Cannot do much testing now so please let me know if that doesn't work for you.

Cheers

Thank a lot Mahmut, it seems fine now althought I only payed my attention to Stoch filter. If I find any issue I let you know.

How does News filter works?. For all news or only for High/medium impact?. My will is only to apply for High Impact news, (when spread can take me out of market), it is only a suggestion. Anyway, this EA is amazing! :D

You're welcome morepips.

The news filter is using the FFCalH indi and is currently only taking into account High impact news and news items containing "Speaks". At least nowadays low and medium news appear to be completely ignored.

You could also use the MaxSpread argument to prevent entries if spread is above your threshold. Current default is 5 pips.

Cheers
Mahmut

Better....Impossible. Believe me, I tested a lot of EAs :) . Only we have to find appropriated settings, to find a good entry point, MM, define trend....Hardest work.

Good trading!

Agreed, now we are at the point where we need to find the best settings to give us consistent profits. The mechanical side of things should be mostly OK in this version, and I believe I rooted out the bugs at least in the features I tested.

Happy trading and lots of pips to all. Also a belated happy Easter everyone :)
