Hmm. How are you going to avoid getting whipsawed when the market is consolidating? If that's by adapting the MA's you may be less than prepared for the beginning of a trend, no?

That's right!
I agree.

To make profitable EA based on MA crossing it was necessary to optimize it once a week or month to change the setting. Because there is some theory that EAs based on MA crossing can not be profitable for the long time without the settings changing periodically.

So if we have EA which will do it automatically it will be very good.

was tring to figure out a way to run multipul ma's in a certain time per like yesterday and take which ever made the most pips and use it for today. like i would have A,B,C,D etc and A would be 5-10 cross B would be 10-20 etc. have it calculate the pips of each cross to TP or dynamic close for 24 hrs or whatever timeper assigned and which ever is greator would be used. if A>b,c,d and e then A=final_cross_used until next check.

You have touched the idea! That's exactly what I was thinking at..

I don't if it'll be hard or not but the most important task is to write code to simulate the MT backtesting and return result of the testing to the EA/Indicator!

Could we work in it together?

Hi! I just think that the self-trained MA should have a calculation about TP, SL , or Trailing Stop based on open high low close for some period like the last day or last 2 days when entering new trading, even we can change it for our best.

Beside of faster ma crossing slower ma, you may want to consider price crossing certain ma for example in one of the short course i attended, there was a suggestion of using 50 ema (in trading environment) to catch the price momentum of the GBPUSD (using 2 hour chart) and get out from the trade using an indicator i.e. stochastic perhaps. the 50 ema is quite significant and price will usually move toward the direction of the crosses (cross above means move up and cross below means price move down).

Just an idea, maybe you can come up with a great trading system .

Im going to try and use DDE to capture a short history that can be backtested with different methods and supply the best values. Not sure of the best way to make the values interact with a MT expert tho. I could duMp values to a CSV and perhaps import them into an expert. any ideas?

sorry moving to a diff thread, dont want to steal space hehe

Hi, thanks for posting the system. Are you running it on Daily chart? Are you using the default parameters?

Thanks.
