aaron_pm 2013.03.26 08:00

Good day, requesting help to know how I can get my EA open trades when EMA (fast) EMA crossover (slow) but have a difference between the 2 emas of "X" number of pips away. I appreciate your help.

This is how entry is defined

Now you want to have the condition a difference between the 2 emas of "X" number of pips away.

how do you calculate the position of Buy1_1 ???

Same way you can calculate other line positions

My savior deVries, thank you very much for the help you are giving me in preparing my EA.

Now I would like to know what code or put for my EA execute only when my EMA line (fast) have "x" number of distance on my other EMA (slow).

I think you have to prepare yourself making EA's without using garbage producing expert advisor building programs

learn to code if you do that you will get EA's you can use trading. This program you have now is unreliable

The links learn to code might be a first step. What you can do more....

for example The Moving Average EA that you have standard on your account.

1) Place inside this EA StopLoss and TakeProfit

2) make it work for ECN accounts

3) make it work as well for 4 as for 5 digit notation

4) place inside an automatic lotsize calculation riking x % of your account each trade

5) trailing stoploss....

If you know how to do that then you know how to read code other programs

the more you practise the faster you see how to solve errors your programs have....
