The default settings work OK but there needs to be a better exit strategy, either with trailing stop or indicator(s). Exiting on the firstr arrow and line does not work because often there is a change of direction from ZigZag with no arrow.

I have seen trades up 200-300 pips close at a loss because of this.

I also found that QQE added as an additional filter caused less loss trades but sometimes later entries.

Is anyone willing to test the EA or am I wasting my time here?

MrPip,

The way I typically trade this method I when I get an arrow email on my phone I go to my pc then drop one time frame and enter on the lower TF QQE crossover. It will usually get you in faster and still filter false signals. For example if I get an arrow on 4hr chart I will drop to 1hr and wait for crossover.

Exits, like you've seen, aren't so easy. I usually exit when I get to significant support or resistance usually. I realize you can't code discretionary methods like that. Exits are where the money is.
