I cannot get this to make a trade. i loaded everything from post 1 and know how to use an EA but this one just will not take a trade for me.
I changed the magic numbers for each pair as you said to do and it sat for 4 days with no trades on the 1hr chart
I'm thinking I'm missing an indicator. \
could someone please check the first post zip file and let me know if everything is in there??
I would think this is a pretty simple EA to optimize because its a pretty straight forward system
Thank you Mr. Pip for your time and efforts, you have not wasted your time

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?
