I just change the trading time frame option in the EA. Easier and no need to fiddle with the code.

This is a demo acct. Hoping to put it on live soon.

That was the whole point of the correction I suggested.
The TradingTimeFrame input was supposed to be used by the GetFractals function via the 'tf' parameter.

For example, without the correction, if TradingTimeFrame=240 and your chart is on M15, the GetFractals function will read fractal data from the M15 chart instead of H4.

Whatever, I will leave it to Steve to decide to apply the correction or not.

Yep. I think it was GJ playing around the moving average on my demo (only trading the majors and GJ) at the start of the week caused a bit of pain. As soon as I took advantage of MinDistanceToMaPips this pain stopped and I ended the week having made a shed load of profit.

That wonderful gap in GJ tonight took the remaining trades from last week nicely into profit so I closed them all. So far, the demo account is up 25%. There has to be something wrong.

Hi Steve
I set my MinDistanceToMaPips as 20. How bout you? I started using it only today

I have mine set to 20 as well. It seems to be enough to remove the chop.

Cheers,
Dave.

Same here - pure guess work as the default.

MichaelM's correction is vital, guys. Thanks Michael.

The whole point of having TradingTimeFrame is to allow the ea to continue trading that time frame whilst we view a different one. As coded, this does not work.

There are 8 instances to change. Go to the top of void GetFractals(string symbol, int tf) and do a search for NULL to find them. Replace all 'NULL,0' with 'symbol, tf'. When you have made the 8 changes then the next search will take you to void ReadIndicatorValues() - do not change anything there.

Or download V1d from post 1.

Pair basket closure at % worked well also yesterday. Not bad for a Monday

My JPY7 demo below in Blue is now back in positive

Yes, so far the min distance from MA appears to be keeping us out of trend chop nicely. The distance between trades appears to be doing a good job of stopping us from building up silly positions when the markets do not move decisively in one direction.

Then, when they do...................................

Great news about your JPY basket thingy.

Let me try that distance between trades... i haven't given it a go before
