Codemiester, for some reason I cannot post in that thread that you linked to but this is what I think. url As far as price agreements go that he mentions.. they are not trend changes except at tick level an cannot be measured to use a future ...

Defining Trend

Hi CodeMeister, I did not abandon the idea but it became clear really quickly, that no one has the same idea of what a trend is. Actually on reflection, I don't think by my definition, there is a single trend, I think there are at least three. And I ...

Defining Trend

I found the problem. Here is the code if anyone needs it for anything. int CountBars=20; bool BearBar = Open[i] > Close[i]; int dir=0, bufferUp=0, bufferDown=0; for (i=CountBars-1; i>=0; i--) { double MidBand = ...

lowside bar count

That is great.. I understand perfectly thanks so much

Order Closeby function

Great thoughts.. I am testing it live manually and so far really good (better than that by results). My problem is coding it to enable testing over a long term. I am still trying to get my head around the detail for coding it. Updated Pic because I ...

Defining Trend

You're right CodeMeister, it need not be limited to 15 minutes and could be used instead of or in addition to another time frame.

Defining Trend

Thanks Scoob The trouble with moving averages is they don't filter noise unless you make them a long period. Then they take too long to respond to reversals. For me, I wanted something different.

Defining Trend

Ok, this took me a little longer than I thought and I still haven't done the code I changed the endpoint price to the bottom envelope instead of the bollenger band. The blue dots are the anchor points created by the fractal division. The arrow is ...

Defining Trend

Yes Hayseed, I think you are right about that code.. needs to be separate statements. I tested this about this time last night but I had not written the code at the time. I had someway of filtering the bollenger band delta on a large fall or rise. I ...

Defining Trend

Actually, I didn't use it in the EA yet, because I am still writing it. I thought it should work but I might be wrong. I do have a mistake in the code though.. the last fractal to use as an end point does not need to be above the bollenger band. I ...

Defining Trend

Thanks Mate, just what I needed Happy New Year

Array Tutorial

Well this is how I would do it but I have to read up on arrays and I haven't done that yet.. I am sure CodeMiester would help if you ask him. He is great with this sort of stuff. bool compression = false; array(ima1,ima2,ima3,ima4) Return array ...

How can I code this thing

It is possible that taking your profit early will find the condition for opening the trade is still true, hence it may open another trade with the upshot that trades are increased. Same thing may go for your stoploss, its hard to say. Do a visual ...

Anyone else have trouble backtesting EAs?

I am trying to think of how to do this too. must be some clues in the alligator code I would think. Give me a bit and I will see what I can come up with.. in the meantime, what ideas did you have?

How can I code this thing

Here is some code that will close an "in Profit" order after a certain time you specify in minutes. it will not close an order if it has a stoploss or trailing stop. extern int timeVunerable = 0; // Put this with your other variables if ...

Hourly Close EA

This is a really easy solution but it will depend on how many orders you have open in the one direction. If you are only using one, then it will be good. I just modified your order send code. changes in Red. static int last_trade=0,// put this with ...

Go only long if last closed order was sell and inverse
