The version is EMA_CROSS_2.mq4.

I am very interested in knowing when it triggers and why. Thanks!

Could you attach it??

Yes, thank you, CodersGuru, I have attached it here for you to look at. I've been forward testing this for about 5 days now, and again, I'm interested in knowing what triggers it, and why at times it will not buy or sell when the EMA is crossed, and at other times, it does buy or sell when their is no EMA crossing in sight. It just seems to be inconsistent and I'm very curious as to what makes it buy or sell when it does. It also seems only to take three or four trades (at the most), at any point in time, and won't take a trade when there clearly is an EMA cross (if their are three or four trades open).

Do I have the latest rendition of this?

Finally, when it does EMA does cross, and it places a trade, (either a buy or a sell), can it offer a sound alert when it does?

Any insight in laymen's terms that you can offer would be appreciated.

Dear Codersguru

I am really interested in understanding the logic behind the below code in your EMA_CROSS_2 EA.

//Don't work in the first load, wait for the first cross!
static bool first_time = true;
if(first_time == true)
{
first_time = false;
return (0);
}

When you say "//Don't work in the first load, wait for the first cross! " what do you mean by that please?

I would like to take this opportunity to say hello to you and to everybody in this forum.

Many thanks

I just read through the thread, it seems that when EA first load, it will place order, that part of logic is to rectify this. I believe

All,

It's been nearly 8 months since this thread started with much activity until the last several weeks. EMA Cross V2 has some outstanding performance early on. I'm wondering if you all are still working with this EA and if so, are you still seeing good results are varying TFs.

Thanks,
Alan

Hi, all I been forward testing EMA_Cross_2 but, is this the best one could some post the last one.

Hi codersguru!
wonderful work on EAs. I would like to ask if you could ad the following two functions to ema cross v2.
1. stop and reverse (with trUe/false)
2. partial close of open lots as price reaches fib levels based on a 55 SMA (levels are 13,-13, 33,-33,55,-55,89-89,144,-144,233,-233)-so many levels to alow for trading in lower time frames.... or perhaps you could add three +/- levels that can be custom set. Also one should be able to set number of lots to close on each level.. In the end if there are still lots opened they should close on S/L, T/S or stop and reverse, whichever comes first.
I think these 2 additions combined with all the awsome options already available in the current version would make this EA a truly universal EA for any sort of MA variations. Thanks for showing us "THE WAY".

EmaCross mod tried to make it as double ema cross according to trading rules of a strategy called Sidus.(attached)
