Ema_cross_2
Dear codersguru,
Thank you for your EA and your countertrend concept,
Even for the first time, me and my friend are skeptical of this countertrend method, but after studying and running forward testing your EA, we've surprised with the results
We still continuing forward test EMA_CROSS_2 with timeframe H1, but we found something interesting in pair EUR/USD 03 April 2006, after crossing down, this EA open sell position instead buy position.... is it normal act? (see attachment)
Thank you...

Hi floks,
I've wrote 10 EAs for the contest, but they were to much to test.
So, I'll select 3 of them to the contest and submit the 7 here
They are making profit in forward tests.
Hope you enjoy!
Coders,
I will go back and read the complete thread, but I cannot remember if this was addressed.
When you close out the Platform, whether it be InterbanFX, MT4, ects., I noticed that if I am not in a position, and I have the latest MA EA on it will auto execute a trade.
How do we keep this from happening everytime we reopen the software.
thanks
Newbie needs help with MA cross EA...
amarnath,
This is my report (attached)!
And this is the version I used (attached)!
I think we can't relay only on the backtest. But My in my test I used the date from 2005/01/01 to Today!
Anybody forward test the MoneyMaker?Hi CodersGuru,
I modified your original EMA_Cross EA a bit to work with a 5 EMA and a 10 LWMA cross with an RSI and Stochastic filter. While this EA opens LONG and SHORT orders and closes out of them correctly, it does not allow me to simultaneously CLOSE a position and then immediately OPEN a new position in the opposite direction (e.g.: true "swing" trading technique). Thus, I lose out on a great deal of potential swing trades.
In addition, sometimes the cross conditions of EMA1 > WMA1 and EMA2 < WMA2 may not trigger a buy if the two moving averages for the past period were the same value or within 1 to 2 pips of each other. Thus I would like to add in the code to look for that kind of condition (which often happens) to trigger an entry.
I am not a coder, so I was hoping you could help me figure out how to do this.
I've included my code inline below as well as the MQ4 file as an attachment. Any help would be very, very appreciated!

CodersGuru,
I've attached a newer version of my EA as I spotted an issue with determining the 'isCrossed' condition (I tried to add the RSI and Stoch filters to the original isCrossed condition rather than adding it as a qualifier only for entering a position.
Hopefully this makes more sense...

I think point 1 is working (when close buy open sell and when close sell open buy) Look at the attched test.
I think point 1 is working (when close buy open sell and when close sell open buy) Look at the attched test.
Cool. That definitely looks like the stope and reverse type system I'm looking for (though the net profit doesn't look very encouraging...:))
I've been using this system manually for a week or so and have had some very encouraging results, so it will be interesting to get the full backtesting numbers back to see if I'm onto something or am just lucky...

this is 2nd week lol http://9q9q.com/March/1144348631.zip
Sorry! but what is this?
