When EachTickMode is false, the EA only places trades at the open of the bar following the signal. That was--to the EA--a valid trade. But I see your point. I'll look into preventing these sort of trades tomorrow.

If EachTickMode was set to true: not likely, the bar probably changed color after the trade was executed. If EachTickMode was set to false: then the only thing that may cause that was chart switching.

It sounds like you're trying to prevent "stale" signals. It makes sense. How do you suggest we prevent that?

Interesting thing I notice in the backtests... The profits from this system almost happen in 'spikes' of sorts, compared with the losses. A pyramiding system may be useful here, along with either a trailing stop, or some other way to lock in profits.

You should be able to if you're using metatrader. Just right click on the chart, then click on "Save as Picture"

Well, I guess you need a rolling price...I'll have to look into this part.

I can't really say the same thing about the standard metatrader order-entry screen, but I do have a workaround. I went to www.ultimarc.com and built myself a trading keyboard similar to this: url Each button on my keyboard is mapped to a ...

Run both through a backtest. My mod has considerably rarer--but for now--more powerful entries. I figure for every of my modded entries, there are 10 originals. Now, if you don't like my programming, you're more than welcome to not use the ...

Ok, here is an EA for this system. I personally like the simplicity of it, and the considerable profitability. 60% win percentage I know isn't too much (*cough*) but if we apply the law of large numbers and use this across several pairs, we may get ...

I always set the default lot size in any free EA I post to 0. Why? It prevents newbies from blindly attaching my EAs to their live accounts and blaming me for any subsequent losses. Both EAs work.

Remember that all indicators' values are based on the price. As the current bar's price is constantly changing, so is the value of the indicator for that bar. What you see in visual backtesting is the final value of the indicator at the close of a ...

Yes, the EA looks at the TF of the chart it's attached to. Just so we're 100% sure, can you please run them in parallel? (1 Set of Daily and 1 set of 4H). And so you don't have to post continuous statements, I suggest you use www.sm-forex.com (I'm ...

I say keep the EA running. We'll see if this was luck because of a news breakout, and check again if the EA will repeat this success. If it's consistently pulling 1k+ from the same lot size, we may just want to optimize for those pairs.

I like what I see, and would offer this one modification for consideration: For a BUY: The price must have a low below the lower 55 LWMA and close above the upper 55 LWMA. For a SELL: The price must have a high above the upper 55 LWMA and close ...
