Hi Steve,
appreciate this EA. Would it be possible, to write a function, to stop the EA from opening all the charts. Like to open the charts manually and attach the SBB template.
Thanks and Regards,
Mark

Dude the function is there, just under pairs to trade in the settings, just set it to false. I hope Steve's in a good mood or you'll get tasered!

Have a good read of the first few posts of this thread, they'll help you find your way around the EA:)

Cheers :youknow:

Couldn't take the trouble to stop being a lazy stupid git and actually read post 1, could you?

One more idiotic post from you and you get banned.

Agreed on M30 for maximum pips profit, but DD is high as well. I am more comfortable with H4, less pips but less DD also. H1 is not doing good for the moment.

It is still too early to conclude.

Hi all

I am running a few H1 demos

My TREND trade only demos are going very well
TREND with close on opposite signal, All pairs, SL=100, ATR filter =0: up over 1200pips
TREND with 300pip basket closer, All pairs, SL=100, ATR filter =0: up over 1100pips

All of my 'Alwaysin (TREND and CT trade)' Demos are negative.

I also set one demo up to only take CT trades and close on opposite signal just to see how bad CT trading is on H1. In just a few days it is -800pips

From this very short experiment, the 'TREND trade only' is winning hands down on H1

Cheers Richard

Looks like most of us are coming to this conclusion as well, on all time frames.

Hi Steve,

Can you please have a look at the comments within the EA code for the Trend / CT trading styles inputs?
They seem a little confusing (and I am easily confused).

eg - CloseTrendTradesOnOppositeSignal would normally indicate to me that it will close a Trend trade on the opposite Trend signal however the comment associated with that input is:-

"Close on a CT opp direction signal"

Comments for T/F input setting of CT trades also seem to refer to trading in the direction of the trend.

BTW- Congrats on becoming a Grandfather. Nothing better than grandkids hence the reference to Poppy in my nickname :smile:

No. There is only so much that I am prepared to do. Work stuff out for yourself.

I'm working my way up the TF ladder. So far 30M and below are DD monsters. The H1 always in is better but still shaky. Do to the over 200 inputs could you share the H1 trend set file?

Thanks

Was reviewing august with the signals.
SL 100 etc. does not seem to work very well on lots of pairs.
for example GBPJPY, 7 stopouts at 100 pips, loosing month.
best L.

Always in?
Only trend?
TP?
