If anyone has other ideas for determining trend let me know.
Please do not include the standard MAs as I have tried them all. I have also tried NonLagMA but that did not help.

I have looked at the DIN EA. The programmer of that one might want to look at how I get the indicators, especially MACD.
I did not use a great deal of comments but the variable names and function names should be clear enough.

I did put the indicator checks in what I thought would give the fastest backtest run times.

All bugs and fixes are done in the code so I'll simply post version 01_00 of the EA when I'm finished fixing it.
The bug: trailing stop was used instead of no-profit level. Now when we are in profit (at least n points) we move our stoploss to OrderOpenPrice+5 pips. After we did that, we use trailing profit.
Benefits: less modifications for stoploss, smaller drawdown.
Next steps: 1. optimize trailing stop; 2. make 2 trailing stops: normal one, ATR one; 3. moving stoploss every 5 pips instead of every pip; more to come!

Ok for this tool to work you need to do the following :

First open the MT4 b4 the excel sheet
All the pairs on the excel sheet, has to have an chart opened in the MT4
on the MT4 go to options first tap enable DDE server
Now open the excel sheet and lower the security level to enable macros ,
If this was the first time you lower the security level then,close the sheet and save and open it again
when you open it, it ask for update click yes

thats it
