I'm trading the H1 chart so I set it for 96 to start with (4 days). We'll see. Looking back it looks like it would have kept me out of some bad trades but I'd have also missed a couple of pretty good ones. But I'm intrigued by it. I also threw CCI ...

Thanks that works great. Do you just use the default values or do you customize based on timeframe and/or pair?

I like this idea a lot. I have been doing something similar, though just by eyeballing the price trend. Can you post the indicator file you're using to draw your regression lines? It looks to be different than the one posted above. The file should ...

This may have been answered but I don't remember seeing it. When you are in a trade, but not stopped out, and the signal changes, what do you do. A. Exit the trade and open oen in the other direction B. Exit the trade and not re-enter C. Stay in the ...

In the chart I posted above, the last two times the oSMA reverses to the downside, the price continues it's upward march. How is that beneficial? In terms of long term trend, I'm just looking at the price that's displayed. "Long term" being the 5 ...

Another idea on divergence — Just took this short trade on USDCHF last night. It's down right now but not stopped. What I did notice however was that on each of the last 2 downtrends, the signal was divergent. The short is also going against ...

Not bad for my first day. I don't like holding over the weeekend and I didn't hear back on my query regarding that so I closed everything yesterday afternoon. That said, excluding the trades above, I closed the day up 118 pips. Had profitable trades ...

Rookie mistakes — Just started testing this system yesterday. I have made 2 rookie mistakes so far: 1. Last night before I went to bed at about 6:00 GMT, it really looked like it was going to turn and the bars were close to equal. So I went ...

I'm new to this thread today but this is what I was thinking as well. Interested in what those more experience have to say though. Also, for those who have been following this for a while, I went back and paper backtested all of this week for ...

I have done a bit of backtesting with dismal results. But haven't tweaked much either. Also, I found a bug in the reversal code. Working on a new version.

Added this primarily because I noticed that in my testing, virtually all of my losing trades would have closed in profit with this rule in place. In fact, if it works as well as I think it might, I may run it with no SL or TP and see what happens. ...

New version of EA — 2 items added: 1. MagicNumber check when checking to see if a trade is already open for a symbol 2. Reversal. Regardless of stoploss, breakeven, etc. if you are in a trade and a signal comes the other direction, it will ...

Market Hours indicator — Found this indicator and modified it to just take an offset from GMT vs having to specify all open/close times. All you need to do is specify the offset for your broker. Default is 0 as IBFX is on GMT.

You may have found a bug as this is not supposed to happen. I will look at it when I can ... going to try to add a few other things to but I am swamped with the dreaded "day job" right now so if CEO or someone else gets to it first that's fine too.

Looks fantastic. You obviously have either more time on your hands or more MQL experience than I do. Or both. I came back tonight to see what comments others had and see if I could get another version out and you've done it all. So thanks! ...

First attempt at autotrading EA — So I took the liberty of extending pmurfin's EA. I have added the slope as an optional entry filter and some rudimentary autotrading. Just did it this weekend so haven't tested live yet so YMMV. New ...
