I loaded the EA yesterday and all the original indikators from Steve's post#1 and all work. I have EA in the EURUSD pair on a 15 min timeframe. I have smiley in the top right corner so it says the EA is working. HOWEVER, the EA has yet to make one trade in 24 hours....none...not one and I have seen several opportunities in the 15 min timeframe.

Can some one assist my as to why the EA has no execute a order? I include screenshot of input settings.

Evaluator. :geek:

Check your experts and journal tabs. If you don't have the right indicators it will say in expert/ journal tab. Also, post#1 say's indicators are from your thread, not this thread.

Yes. I know the new post has the new EA. I am refer to Steve's original post when he started this thread. I also have the new EA running but just installed it this morning. However, it too has the same issue. NOT ONE ORDER has been made by either EA.

This has been a major topic of discussion and that is why I mentioned the Symphonie 60-5 method for trading. It is possible to have the EA use 1 hour timeframe for direction then have the EA only execute 5 min signals in the same direction as the larger 1 hour Symphonie Signal direction? (see my post #8647 on the Symphonie Thread) [Link (http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread. ... ost5470997)]

I think you may find this will improve the results of the EA.

Double check your Criminal Ecn setting I think it set off in defaults on this EA. I trade Cowboy IBFX and it should be on for them. I have had trades on EURUSD. A lot of criminals need this on.

Steve's shell EA automatically detects if you are using Cowboy IBFX. Does your screen feedback show that you are receiving ticks?

Evaluator,
It is how we refer to brokers. Some are ECN criminals and some are not but they are all criminals. Just turn it on. Problem solved. I think FXpro is an ECN if I am not mistaken. It as to do with how the order is placed by the EA.

Maybe my imagination but Cowboy IBFX did not start placing orders till I turned it on. I have not looked at the code recently and did not know that.

OK. I have opened a new demo account with FX Clearing (http://eng.fxclearing.ca/) which according the the 100 top FXBrokers list is a ECN.(http://www.100forexbrokers.com/stp-ecn-brokers) Downloaded a new Empty4. Installed the standard Symphonie indikators and Symphonie Matrix v1.7 then loaded the Symphonie EA into a EURUSD chart 5 min timeframe.

I adjusted the Indikator settings to the following:

Marz 2012 Settings for Symphonie System.

Extreme indikator
1,3,2, false, 1,12,21

Emotion indikator
7
50.6
3000

Trendline indikator
30, 5

Sentiment indikator
12

I have ECN turned to true in the EA and have watch closely for the past hour. NO ORDERS were made and there were atleast 2 signals for the EA to place an order..........H E L P!!! :o What is incorrect about my setup?? Is there something I am missing?? :?: :?:

I include a screenshot of the Empty4 and the EA settings below.
