Flying Slope auto-trading EA

[SteveHopwood]

I had my first two loosing closures today, when Slope retreated into the Range area. gbpaud sell taken out today at 12.00, then closed at 12.04.

Looking at the candle, I can see why. FS spotted the FB and Slope must only just have been < -0.6. The subsequent rise in the market would have taken Slope above -0.6; it has subsequently fallen again and the trade would now be profitable.

We might need a buffer to avoid whipsaw abound the Slope trigger level. Either that, or I could reintroduce inputs such as HtfBuyCloseLevel which tells EA's at which Slope levels to close an open trade.

I left them in place when I copied the function, commenting them out in case they came in handy. What do you guys think?

Hi Steve,
IMHO i would go for an introduction of HtfBuyCloseLevel and HtfSellClose functions.Cheers

This is my favoured option too. I will leave thingies open for a while to see what the other guys think.

Same here - open on 17 pairs - including GBPCHF and EURGBP - but no trades.

Using the set Shelley posted as well!

Interestingly, GBPCHF and EURGBP show no Flying Buddha signals since the 11th July...

I know, I like that too, very reassuring to know you got those too. I did not have the time to check it in the morning before leaving to work but I believe I should have roughly the same profit waiting for me back home....ohh sweet melody

PS: So that it may help others, I would just specify that the EA did not trigger any trades for me until I properly retreived all history for the pairs the EA is on. I know it may sound stupid but I did not realise that the script I was using before was not doing a good job on all pairs

Thank you Steve,

I'm always happy to help myself, but as I'm quite new here, I don't always know where to go for the answers!

Thanks for the link - I shall update my history forthwith.
