TallCoolOne replied Jun 21, 2013Yes I believe the previous daily bar should close above the EMAs before we take a buy. I will need to change the code and make this part of the next release. Thanks!

TallCoolOne replied Jun 21, 2013Hey MK. I really appreciate you, Erebus and everyone else fielding the questions. Frankly, this EA is a little befuddling. There is a lot to it. Many features, differences from the original strats - like the Williams % confirmation. So I understand ...

TallCoolOne replied Jun 21, 2013Hi Amirsaid, sorry for your confusion. I know a lot is going on. My setting files are in post one. I'm testing all 3 current trend methods - Ichimoku, 20/50 EMA and MACD all on separate demos. If you download them and use them you will have to ...

TallCoolOne replied Jun 21, 2013Yes, absolutely. This is how the trend would look on the hourly chart. So the settings had to be changed. If you left it as 20/50 on the hourly chart, then we would be looking at the hourly 20/50 trend and not the daily 20/50 trend. Thanks for the ...

TallCoolOne replied Jun 21, 2013Hi Hennessy, I think I see the issue. If you are using my template. The template is designed for the lower TF chart. So what you are seeing on the hourly chart are the daily trend methods as they look on the hourly chart. So when you switch to daily ...

TallCoolOne replied Jun 21, 2013Hi fxarcher, I see what you are saying here. This might be a good filter to add. Make sure previous D1 bar has closed above or below the EMA and then make sure the currently hourly PA is above also. These changes would be more inline with 100Pips ...

TallCoolOne replied Jun 21, 2013Hi fxarcher, it will take the trade on the close of the lower TF bar if you are in bar mode. It will take the trade if the Bid goes above the EMA on tick mode.

TallCoolOne replied Jun 20, 2013No intervention so far, but like you it is very early. I'm hoping to just go automated and now have much intervention, but if you want to give God a good laugh..just tell him your plans.
