He's pointing out the disparity between the pivot drawn by the DWMPivot indi and the display for the EA for the 2 pairs.

Anyone to explain me minD1TPTargetPips ? Not sure to understand this setting :geek:

Thanks ;)

I think it basically ensure that the TP target is for D1 trend trades is a minimum distance from current price otherwise it doesn't take the trade - basically ensuring a reasonable R:R I guess.

Cheers,
Dave.

OK

The in-house calculation of the DP may be different from the indicator.
Have to compare the calculation method.

The EA code does not handle the exclusion of Sunday candles correctly. In getPivots(), this line:

Code: Select all

   if ( tf == PERIOD_D1 && ( sundayCandlesDetected || saturdayCandlesDetected ) ) shift++;
should be changed to something like this line (checking to see if today is Monday)

Code: Select all

   if ( tf == PERIOD_D1 && TimeDayOfWeek( iTime( NULL, PERIOD_D1, shift ) ) == 1 && ( sundayCandlesDetected || saturdayCandlesDetected ) ) shift++;
Currently, it is always looking back an additional day if there are Sat/Sun candles, but it should only do it on Mondays.

After making the change, I get the same values from the EA and the indicator.

I got a AUDJPY Pivot Shot trade this morning and the D1 Slope was flat (see attached).

The also happened with USDCAD...i'm using M15 as the Pivot Cross setting.

Jason,

NB 10.2a trades aren't about slope. Please read up on 10.2a here.
