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?

:D
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 Shelley, with GBP/CHF and EUR/GBP triggered about 8 hours after the first 3.
Currently in small loss though :( will see how it goes.

I have had the Flying Slope EA(OOTB) on H4 charts on 12 pairs since the beginning of the week on FXDD demo with not even one trade.

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 :lol:

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 :x :lol:

Those of you whose EA is not taking trades, go to http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 189#p14189 and follow the steps there to ensure your chart history is up to full.

You have a problem at your end and there is nothing the rest of us can do about it.

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.
