For a buy we need a close BELOW the d.pivot and then close ABOVE the d.pivot.
For a sell we need a close ABOVE the d.pivot and then a close BELOW the d.pivot.

This hasn't happened yet on any of the pairs your EA is watching.
Thanks Jem.
I'd like to run this EA as is, without altering any thing in it. At the end of this week I will look at the results in deep. Then the analysis will clue us what to change and what to keep as default.
I see lot of us now testing the BJeS. It'll be interesting to see summaries on Sunday. Collectively we will achieve more. IMHO

Let us know what trades it opens & closes, due to the previously mentioned refresh problem, mine is not doing anything.

Refresh by change time frame this morning, and it closed 2 trades in small profit, the code needs some work.

Anyone had a successful trade start to finish as per the Jem rules as coded?

I beg your pardon? Would you care to rephrase this? With some care.

Steve,

the ea has to be 're-loaded' for it to read the current conditions.

i set it up on monday, but when the trading conditions were met on tuesday, the ea did nothing. its only when i re-loaded the ea by changing the timeframe on the chart, that the ea detected the trading conditions and fired the appropriate trades. anyway to fix this Steve?

great ea here as usual!

i have set it up on demo and to see if it works as intended, i changed the pivot cross input to the m30 time frame instead of the h4. what happened was the ea kept opening and closing trades...like every second or so it would open 3 trades that met the criteria but then close it immediately. the cycle would repeat until i switched the experts tab off.

anyone experienced this? or is it because we cannot use m30 for the pivot cross option? thanks!
joe
Steve,

yeah one more thing is the pivot cross timeframe, it appears only h4 can be used. any fix for this?

fxarun mentioned this "
Steve ,

The code here uses a default 4 hr pivot cross timeframe which causes this problem i think."

yesterdays triggered trades now in profit!
once again another superb ea! thanks to Steve, Jemook, Bob, Shelley, Paul.,and all the great guys i've neglected to mention!

Just want to say I tried the EA with a new installation of Empty4 with just the EA and it would not do anything and there where no messages in the experts or Journal to indicate why. After loading all the 10.2A files the EA came to life.

setup your history data with ForceLoadHistoricalData Script (use search) and try it again...

hope this helps...

happy trading,

Hello mates,
Any results as of today?
BJeS v1a was dumping my demo since Monday. By now the DD reached 4% of balance.
Removed the v1A and attached v1B. Additionally, running ForceLoadHistoricalData script.
Will report results by end of Friday.

Hey,

Been running v1b since market open. It took a trade on EZ (I think) and made about 10 pips, since then nothing but I wasn't around to refresh the EA manually so the non-trading is not so surprising.

So basically, I have the same issues that everybody else.

Cheers for now
