Minute Entry

 

My EA signals comes from H1 and when I try to sharpen the entry with 1min chart, my results are poorer.

Any reasons?

{
double Curr_Bar = iMA(NULL, 1, 5, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE, 0);
double Prev_Bar = iMA(NULL, 1, 5, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE, 1);

if(Curr_Bar > Prev_Bar) return(1);
if(Curr_Bar < Prev_Bar) return(2);
}

The shorter the timeframe the (relatively) less valuable the signal

Comparing the 5 EMA 0/1 on M1 will cause whipsaw signals - i'd say it wasn't great on H1, just less bad...

See the MCL indi in this http://www.selectfx.net/download/sfx_ind_1.zip for a better approach for all timeframes

My activation signal is from H1, only when try to place the entering trade, I try to check on 1min to be more precise but not good.

Anyone has suggesstion to sharpen the entry?
