I'm sorry but i never tested it before, i'm reading the original post from TSD-Forum to finding some good setup. If someone are using this EA yet and want to share something we can start from discuss his settings. I hope in next week to start testing this great EA.

chromei, is really long to explain how everything works and what the system is based if you want can you read all this 3d to know all what you need. Basically it relies on a series of indicators (MACD, PSAR, STOCH, MA... etc.) that have a certain "weight" (from 10% to 25%) on the calculation of the MasterProb. So MasterProb is all the system, logically find the right weight for each indicator (and right setup) is really important.

Hi everyone, I wanted to bring to your attention (if you don't know yet) an EA based on the crossing of moving averages. It 'a very configurable EA in each fraction and with many filtering for false signals. The original version was coded by firedave (thanks so much) in 2006 but I think it is still a (if not the only one) truly universal MA cross EA, well-structured and certainly very well written!

 

This is the official link to the page where you can find the download file and the configuration guide. http://www.forex-tsd.com/expert-advisors-metatrader-4/1933-universal-ma-cross-ea.html

 

I open this 3d with the hope that we can discuss and jointly determine the best setup for this EA in many market cond. So get jiggy with it and playing with this great EA!!!! I am waiting for your replies and I hope we can get a good system to get $$ ;)

today trading with my preset on 15 min chart

I don't use trailingstop at the moment but will good to test something like trailingstart on 40 45 pip and trailstep 15-20 pip (maybe the loss trade was close at BE).

 

i'll use next week 6am-5pm as ranging time, i will open one demo before next week start with my preset.

 

Edit: here the link to demo accout that start next week: http://www.myfxbook.com/members/mangiare/pipa-ea-101-mod/180858

Fx4, download New preset in page before call mangiare_set, it has 40 pip sl and 80 tp. It open right trades on arrow only, 2 trades for today (when i turn back home i will post it). In ranging cond. this ea doesn't work so well like many others ea (trend follower). 40 pip sl in these past days on 15 min chart work really good (think i can test 30 35 sl, biggest DD was 26 pip), i agree wirh tp 100 is high so in New preset i put 80 and on 4 trades in these 2 days hit 3 Times Tp and 1 time sl.

If i remember it well, I think blue dot means like exit point by MP (when reaches value 0) and orange one is the same as blue but value 0 cames from alltf MP. But was a really betatest function that i asked to soundfx for some test!

Guys, today trading ea done 2 trades for me: -40 and +80, gain 40 pip! For sure you don't have my same result, i'm using v1.01 on 15 min charts (i wrote some post before) if you want to test my preset please pay attention on these two thinks: Download the last preset (call mangiare_test) work on 15 min chart EU, and 7am-9pm (7-21) GMT.

Here is the link for my preset:

 

 

hxxp://www.4shared.com/file/lBE_mkCw/mangiare_test.html

 

Work only on v1.01, ranging time is 7am-9pm GMT so look about your broker time to adjust it.

 

You can trade it on other pairs not correlated (hedging) and increase income.

 

I like this idea very much, i can't start another session for testing it but if you can or someone want to test it would be appreciate ;)

harmonic2, pipAccumulator is both 2. In this 3d is manual trading system, on mt4 expert advisor section you can find 3d about PIPA EA that based on manual system.

Guys i'm running demo with v1.01. The first 12 trades in history and the open one was made by v2.01a so cut off the first 13 trades for right view.

 

Here is the link with my preset file: http://www.myfxbook.com/members/mangiare/ii-pipaea-101-mod/180337

 

 

Today PIPAEA v1.01 linked on a microaccount in real made this results:

MaxDD -26 pip looks good. Hope it will be as today everyday ;)

No, frankly I never mql interested in programming, but the surface does not seem impossible to practice:)

Did you try Expert Advisor Programming by Andrew Young?

I'm downloading now the ebook, hope i can understand it. Thanks for advice fx4.

eheheh so we are in the same boat! :) I hope this 3d catch attention of some good coders that trust in this system and EA and want to improve some stuff. If i remember right you are testing v1.01 (only arrow with my set file), if you can test 2.01a both without SL to compare DD of these systems.

 

P.S. soundfx, just looking a little bit code to profane which i am i understanding the harder work that you done. Thanks for everything you've done!!!

shabz you are right! Too many indis lag the market and set them faster isn't a good choice many times, and for sure if indis do the same work is good idea to discard one of them. The first step before using indis or system is to know what charts are telling, is certainly dangerous to play without knowing that! After that you can try many indis or not (it's successful trading system also sma and price action or pattern). Surely it is more difficult to understand when not enter the market if you rely only on indicators, and for sure staying out the market is a position! But what I wanted to say before (sorry if I seemed aggressive 4xmeter i had no intention) is that there are many systems that ensure gains stratospheric and after a short period drive your balance to crash, this system is always discretionary trading so can work for me and not for you (as many strategy) and all can try it for free and maybe can improve it. I believe in this system because the method inside looks really good, surely there is still much to do to optimize it (especially in choppy e quiet market times).

 

Just my two cents,

 

mangiare.

 

P.S. I'm sorry 4xmeter did not want to be a criticism against you or against what you think of this system, but just my thoughts. :)

Please note if someone are testing my setting on v1.01 (arrowonly) i think the better way is to set TP 80 SL 40. Cheers,

 

mangiare.

Why do you say that 4xmeter? I believe that all systems have errors, especially those manuals that what I see most likely is not the same as you see (as in all discretionary systems). Each one has its own way of trading and a system serves no other purpose than to give security to place an order. Whoever then fitting a system (like this) with their knowledge to feel completely at ease. An example of the goodness of this system is show by psaini (read posts before), i use it from a couple of months and work for me too. I think before you say that a discretionary system is "wrong" is a good idea to use it for some time (because the more you use more you become aware of the system), perhaps inspired by the advice coming from others if is possible. I have seen systems sold at a high price or acclaimed by famous traders crashing miserably, which even after months of using this system has not yet happened. I would be happy if you would give this system the right time to truly understand his great potentiality. In any case I would be happy to hear your negative arguments in detail for this system. Have a nice day,

I look at the code.. There's an option to trade arrowonly in the v1.01, but it doesn't go anywhere. There is no code relate to arrowonly. So, even if you set arrowonly = true, EA is not trading on arrowonly. So, question is, how the EA is trading when you set arrowonly = true? If you commented out //arrowonly = true; and recompiled, there is no error. So, something must either got deleted along the way or this was never implemented.

 

I'm looking about code (i never try mql coding before) and i suppose that in v1.01 the part of code for arrowonly entry is:

 

if (BoxMACD_Main > BoxMACD_Signal && !BoxBuyFlag) {

// Print("1st IF");

BoxBuyFlag = true;

BoxSellFlag = false;

}

 

if (BoxMACD_Main < BoxMACD_Signal && !BoxSellFlag) {

BoxBuyFlag = false;

BoxSellFlag = true;

}

 

What do you think about it fx4?

 

i was trying to implement in 2.01a something like that:

 

if (ArrowOnly) {

if (BoxMACD_Main > BoxMACD_Signal && !BoxBuy) {

BoxBuy = true;

BoxSell = false;

}

 

if (BoxMACD_Main < BoxMACD_Signal && !BoxSell) {

BoxBuy = false;

BoxSell = true;

}

}

but when compiling return 4 errors, expected for array....i have to read some good book about mql programming!! :)

Hi, some good coder can implement only arrow entry method on v2.01a? Please will be very useful to test some good strategy! Contact me or post here if you want to try..thanks in advance.

I use 1.01 and arrowonly flag work fine for me (i suppose because i can't understand mq4 language) but if i look about EA entry is the same as in manual strategy i do (i'm testing entry on arrow only). I'd test v2.01 and trailing work, doesn't work in v1.01 (i use trailingator for v1.01). fx4 was amazing if you can copy the v1.01 part of code for arrow entry only parameters in v2.01a, it will a good point to start serious test. Some good coders are need to improve and keep alive this amazing EA :) TQ.

There are some good coders and goodwill who want to try to incorporate the changes that i wrote in the 3d section pipacc section? :) If someone want to implement these stuff in last EA version of II please contact me. Unfortunately at the moment the master coder of the EA (soundfx) can't work to the project. I hope to return soundfx there may be a basis on which to perfect this wonderful system.

mostly one day will open how many trade?

 

what is the meaning educated ea ? it that mean crack ea ?

 

Yes, educated ea menas like crack ea. How many trades will open most depends on the TF of your chart, type of entry setting on EA (ProbEntry, ProbSTEntry ...), EA work hours. I use version 1.0.1 with 7am-10pm, 15 min charts and entry arrowonly with modified avarages (looks PIPACC 3d in trading system section post #687 if you want to try my settings) and usually was open 2-3 trades per day. I set fixed SL and TP: 50 pip SL and 100 150 pip TP. If you choose little TF like 5 min and ProbSTEntry maybe you will get more trades per day.

Hi guys,

 

ProbEntry EA go short when MasterProb (MP) is -20 or less go long when MP is +20 or above.

ALLTFEntry is the same as above but MP is calculated on all TF (if your chart set to 5 min then all tf start from 1m to 30min, on 15 min chart All TF start from M1 to H4).

ProbSTEntry, use single MP for entry (-20/+20) and this signal will be filter with SuperTrend indicator. Example: MP -20, STindi is red and price cross under the line and close below so EA open a short, exactly the opposite for long positions.

AllTFSTEntry, is the same as above but MP is calculated on all TF.

 

Hope this may help,

Another better arrow today! Looks nice this paramters! ;)

Edit: Errata Corrige: in the 2nd pic (the under one) MP was -20 now is -24 (no 24).

chromeie, i'm testing some different values to clean background's noise about plotting arrows. If you want to test my parameters please read post #867.

I hope this will help you, please for posts about PIPA EA ask in the right forum thread.

 

Ciao, mangiare ;)

pips accumulator is using on m5 timeframes ?

 

Yes, 5 min chart is the first choice for PipaEA but works good too in 15 min charts.
