Yes - you're right. Mmmm. Maybe thinking about it too simplistically. I need to do some proper head scratching.

I'm still favouring a halt to trading after a SL, the very wise man whose forum we're in posts this before every EA release >
This is not a set-and-forget ea; there is no such thing and anyone who tries to claim there is, is either stupid or lying. This ea requires frequent manual intervention.

Maybe this should all go in a sub-thread to Shelley's as I am conscious of cluttering the thread. Shelley?

Firstly, I'm not using zader's EA, so not really able to keep up with the discussions...but just had a quick look at the charts you guys posted and I'm not sure why you would have taken a buy gbpnzd there

Can I ask a question about the D1 trigger bar on a new trade (not a re-entry) please?

Say it's a short trade, so red arrow weekly, mark the red line, flip to daily, the 3smma is below the 8smma, all 4 red dots on mtf... so all good.. the trigger candle has closed below the 3smma, so I enter at the open of the next daily (hope that's correct).

My question is, what if the trigger candle is a bull/green candle, do you still enter at open of the next? or do you then follow the re-entry rules i.e. wait for 2 bear candles ?

Great thread, I'm liking the idea, hoping to start demo next week (just need some EAs to finish to free some cpu)

Cheers
Padnoter.

If you look at the chart I posted with the Z on the trigger candle ALL rules were met 100%, the EA didn't care if it was a re-entry just saw it as a valid entry

This version won't trade for 2 days(configurable) after a SL, this gives you plenty of time to disable it or let it do it's own thing.

I think this will be the final version from me because I think trying to program the re-entry logic is beyond me.

Hi, spotdespot if you fancy adding to the EA please feel free I don't consider it my EA.

Zader, your efforts with the EA have been awesome...thanks heaps!
Not sure if you're interested in taking a look, but with my BASA strategy I had an initial entry criteria and a re-entry criteria. Steve managed to code both entry types into the EA. I have attached it here in case it helps you with the code.

Also, I will send Steve a PM and request his attention over here and see if he would mind coding an EA for us. Ultimately, I would like to be able to automate the strategy.

Cheers
Shelley
