Well, here's a first note. Price action is such that we would already be in a position when I started the EA. For whatever reason I thought it would wait for a new signal... well, it did, but not like I was thinking. It evaluated the close of the ...

jr, I've just attached it to a 5M GJ chart. I'm not sure of the meaning and proper settings for all the options. So, I'm a bit blind here. Can you or Hayseed provide some input on all those settings, or at least their meaning, for the EA? Thanks.

Clansman, it was clear to me, and you put it better than I did. But I've been new to things in the past, and I saw the potential for confusion, so I tried to clear it. Again, you did so much better than I. Thanks.

Flamenco143, Thanks for you post and advice. I personally tend to try to work out new systems so they fit with GBPJPY first. I find if I can make it survive that I can easily adapt it for EJ. If I just can't get it to work for GJ... I mean it is ...

Hurray for Hayseed!

jr, thanks for clearing that up. I am eager to play with your system too. I'll have to wait a few hours though. It looks like you are refocused to the 5M timeframe. Are you testing anything longer term than that?

H, I know this gets confusing because there jr is really doing alot of brainstorming. But, look back at post 229. I thought he indicated there that he was looking to use OSMA as an entry filter. Then later he started tinkering with MA thing for an ...

Okay, I was able to check some online documentation. The default settings for the Guppy Selectable indicator would give you crosses of the 2 and 16 (I just triple checked this and edited my original post-- should be EMA) of the Closing price. And I ...

Okay, again I can't check it on a chart. But in the code it doesn't look like you can select differnt calculation bases (SMA, EMA, etc.) between the MAs. If you change one, it looks like you change them all. The default is going to pass a setting of ...

Yikes!! My apologies... I now see what it is. Look, there is a difference, but it isn't significant. Let me explain in case someone else gets confused too. One of the idicators (the one billbss used in his graphic, which is also downloadable in this ...

Okay, took a quick look at the internals of the "Guppy Selectable" indicator. If you are using the default settings, and taking signals from the red/blue crosses, you are just looking at a 2SMA crossing a 16SMA. I can't check that on a chart from ...

It looks like your EA will initiate a short trade if the OSMA color changes from bright green to dark green. I believe the intent from JR is to only take trades in the direction of the overall color. So, only allow short trades if OSMA is red, and ...

Palmer, I'm just seeing this system 11 months after your last post. I appreciate the effort, and wonder if you learned something on this since then. I hope you might take the time to wrap it up, if you can.

Just one last thing to say. This is not normal communication in here. There is so much that can be misinterpreted in this medium. There is much we can't see or understand about each other without seeing. It is easy to give the wrong impression. So, ...

Peaks and Valleys (Trading Naked)

Thexder, I see your question. It seems so far that there is no "system" answer for this at this time. I've been reading along for some time now (lurking). Somewhere along there I decided to use a 1SMA of the MEDIAN price to pick my peaks and ...

jr, This is interesting, but is certainly a different method. It should be made clear that there are now two systems being discussed. A short and a longer term. I suggest you edit your original post. In that first post you should point out there are ...

I was looking at GBPJPY on a 1 hour timeframe. 0900GMT. We asked throughout the day yesterday about does the channel have to cross the 100EMA for valid signals and finally got an answere late yesterday... It was just a few posts back. So it is not ...

Regarding these EAs — First, thank you for your efforts Puppy and Hayseed. Second, sorry for the long post... BUT... I hope we can get one or more of these things working exactly right with maybe a couple of user selectable filters. But first ...

Interesting. I looked at something very similar about 7 months ago, but it was based on a 25 SMA off high and low. With GBPJPY I was looking at 100, 200, and 300 levels on the SMAs for take profit levels. SL was opposite side of the channel. The ...
