Hi Guys,

Just been reading the threads and manuals and have setup my environment early last Friday, was wondering if anyone could help me with why my recent strength indicator only showing values upto H1 but not for D1, W1 or MN?

Have setup a demo account just this Friday but as yet have had no trades though I thought I should have got a few according to Bob's manual is it because the inidicator is not calculating the other timeframes?

Have opened 26 of the 28 currency pairs as on Alpari could not find NSZCAD and NZDCHF (all charts have NB10.2 running and live enabled, all with relevant bob red or blue templates setup except for a chart that is also running the recent strength indi) - again apologies I am relatively new though have been trading the beast in demo for a year or so as well as other EA's of the Master - Steve Hopwood.

Are there other indicators as to whether things are working?

Steve and everyone else this is an amazing thread - I wish I could help in the future as I begin to understand this more.

Hey Dave, no problem, please find it attached.
I was struggling with it too but I am now using v1v and it is going along nicely. I'm pretty sure it's OOTB with BE 25/5.
My secret is though that I have also attached mptm with a global closure of 250 pips...
Gotta say I do like my GC's
you use MPTM to close all trades at 250 pips...but EA NB 10.2 will take same trade as soon MPTM close it if Trend is always there ? that's the way you trade ?

Hi all,

Just a quick question.

I am using this EA since last one week with gr8 success.

Just today I realized that the WOH 2x1 being used by this EA is what those with GMT brokers are using and not what I am. I am with GMT+3 broker so using Gary's revised WOH 2x1.

I have change the following line in the EA for it to look for the correct indicator on my machine.

//Weekly open trend finding
extern string wot="10.2 WeeklyOpenHistogram 2x1 4.29 Revised";
extern int barsToProcess = 1000;

Any thoughts???????
Thanks

That has no effect. The wot extern is just a "comment," telling you what the barsToProcess input affects.

You need to find the GetWoh() function (starting at line 2023) and change the indicator name in the iCustom calls there.

Or just rename the original WOH indicators and rename my fixed ones to the original name.

Yes, I like to lock in profits when I can, and yes the EA does take trades again if conditions are still met.

one more observation on this EA.

It takes D1/H4 trend trades and puts SL to next S1/R1 or S2/R2 but no TP is set. I have to manually do that. Any help here would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Happy pipping

Hi Steve,
I really appreciate the work that you do, although I don't know how you find the time! :lol:

The link to your shell EA (located at the end of the third line above the attachments on the first post) is broken, apparently:
My shell EA – the code I use to produce EA's so quickly. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=15

Selecting it produces:
"Board index

Information

The requested topic does not exist."


I know you're busy, but if you get time, could you fix it, please? ;)
Thanks for all.
