  1. Re: Building your own EA G/08.

     

    asgard2,

     

    Thanks. I will take a look at it. 60 pips in 5 minutes is a big drop. Only a significant news news event would cause such a move. It looks like your thoughts were with respect to the short term trend. Is the thought that if there has been a significant drop over the last 4 hours, don't buy and If there has been a significant rise in the last 4 hours, don't sell?

    asgard2, Lukeye,

     

    It has been tougher determining the slope of the H4 trend than I thought. The longer term H4 trend may follow a channel while the short term for a day or more may go counter to the channel or even flat. The double EMA cross suffers from lag when the EMAs are sufficient in length to follow the channel and not chatter from the short term fluctuations as does the slope. I have looked at a few other indicators and am not comfortable yet. Are we trying to avoid trading counter to the channel or just counter to the shorter term?

    The MA cross doesn't tell you the longer term trend. It tells you how the shorter term trend compairs to the longer term. You only need the slope of the long MA. The current bar is always fluctuating so I would consider the following:

     

    Slope=(iMA(NULL,0,100,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1)-iMA(NULL,0,100,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,2));

    Hello All,

     

    I just found this thread and would like to be a contributor. I have many years of programming experience, Just not any with MQL. I can count the number of lines of MQL I have written on 1 hand. Also if one of you could instruct me as to how to stop all the buddy tv and crackle, etc. I would be able to go through these threads a little faster and help out more.

    Megainvest,

     

    I have used email alerts. Here is how I set it up:

     

    in metatrader, select tools>options>email

     

    make sure the following are correct

     

    check the "enable email" box

     

    SMTP server: youremailserver example:smtp.0rangemail.ch (get rid of the :25 unless you know :25 is correct)

    SMTP login: youremailaddress example:[email protected]

    SMTP password: youremailpassword example:Th1515myp455w0rd

    From: youremailaddress example [email protected]

    To: anyemailaddress example [email protected] (to send email to yourself)

     

    Try the test

     

    look at the Journal to see if it was sent

    check you email

     

    I have used this feature to send texts to my cell phone. Be carefull with alerts settings if you are choosing mail as your Action and you are charged for Rx of text messages. This cost me $125 one month because of how I set up my alarms.

     

    Let me know if this works

    For the $1 offer you have to decide within 24 hours if you want to return it or they charge you the remainder of the purchase price. I wouldn't trust them. When they had a 60 day money back in place for a while, my purchase would not go through.

     

    Since we now have it, let's determine if it is any good. If so and you want to go live, purchase it. If not, no loss.

  7. Re: M5G Cyborg Robot

     

    The latest set is a modded version of the strategy 1. Uses only 1 aux order. Was being used on 4 pairs but now the author recommends only eu and gu. The trading start time is now earlier than strategy 3 was. I will see if I can get more specifics.

     

    I know it blew accounts with strategy 3. Once bit, twice shy.

  8. Re: M5G Cyborg Robot

     

    OK, let's get one thing straight, the strategy 3 had a very poor reward/risk ratio. One loss would wipe out the profit from 20 wins. It had a great track record until a couple of successive losses more than blew away any wins most people would have had from trading with it. Now the recommended set file has an r/r ratio of ~6:1. It needs to win at least six times to make up for one loss. In my opinion this robot still carries a high level of risk.

  9. Re: Looking for Winalot and EAzeGor

     

    Klod, my guess is that donnaforex had the risk set way too high. I am not saying that Winalot is good or bad. To be up more than 40% in three days is...the way to go broke in ten days. My guess is that the risk setting was off by a factor of 10. I am just as curious as the rest of you as to how it performs when set properly.

  10. Re: SMA indicator

     

    In your navigator tab select Moving Average.

     

    in the parameters tab for the indi make sure Simple is selected for MA Method

     

    or

     

    in pulldowns select Insert>Indicators>Trend>Moving Average.

     

    Make sure Simple is selected for MA Method.
