A adjustable trailing stop should be added with another input so it wont trade again for a certain period of time after it hits the trailing stop . I tried adding a trail to bank some profits only to have it place a trade immediately again to go to fail. This might be a good addition

Hello Everyone!

I am very curious about "use Fractal Filter to Open Trades" and would like to try it out on an extra Pair I am testing GBP/CHF.

If I set it to TRUE are there any other Settings I should change as well for( instance change "UseStockH4toTakeTrade" to FALSE)????

Thank you,

Pippa ;)

No Pippa, nothing else. It's just a filter to trade only in opposite direction of last fractal Up/Dn.

Hi to all,

first, thank you very much Phil & Niepce for all your work.

Three days ago I began the test of the EA in Demo with your indicated pairs and ten others. But I have found a problem, the SS indicator need a lot of Cpu. Is it a normal behavior?

Many thanks in advance.

JJ

Yeap but that's actually a problem, because the EA calls
AllowedDistanceSRForBuy() & AllowedDistanceSRForSell() on a second basis, and the GV are read therefore on a second basis.

I need to update the code so that the GV are read once on a hourly basis, just after iCustom call and Fractal readout. Design issue.

My only problem here is to avoid my boss to enter in the office at the exact moment Im tweaking Marilyn :o (on a daily basis).
Look forward to update (boss permitting) as not really practical to restart every hour. Plus i still have the uninit 1 with GBP chart - none of the others.
Cheers

Here's what I did :

1/ Put indicator on charts (manually) - Standard settings.
2/ Put EA on charts. Standard or custom settings.
3/ Start EA
(At this point, S/R and GV might disappear immediately, or few minutes later.)
5/ After starting EA, restart Empty4 completely.

I did it yesterday, it's been almost 12hours, the S/R and GV are not disappearing anymore.

If you happen to modfy the EA settings : it's equivalent to an EA restart. Restart Empty4 after that.

Hope this helps.

That is exactly what I did - and still every hour the lines disappear. I have to restart Empty4. Strange...
