Question Bars

Hi Dave,

Can you also please explain the "bars less than 100" for me? I keep reading about 'bars' in other EAs and am confused by it.

Thanks

Hi, it's only to make sure that the number of bar / candlestick on the chart that you are using is not less than 100 bar. This is to prevent any miscalculation if you are using any indicator for your EA. Hope this help

Regarding your other request, give me some time to develop it

Histogram ends in the -IVE zone and ofcourse u will loose monery....Can you please fix this...other than that its excellent...i will post my statement hopefully nest week...

Thanks
Babar
Hi Babar, if ConfirmedEntry = TRUE , then the EA will BUY only if the MACD histogram (+) zone on the previous bar. If ConfirmedEntry = FALSE, then EA will BUY as soon as the MACD histogram going to (+) zone on the current bar. On both case if the MACD histogram turn back to (-) zone, it will generate a close signal and open SELL trade if you turn StopAndReverse = TRUE. If you put PureSAR = TRUE , the EA will use NO SL, TP and Trailing Stop. Hope this help

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your help and reply....well I already tested what u have explained...but if the CONFIRMEDENTRY is False then it will buy if the histogram crosses 0 but if it rebounds then in my back test it will not close the BUY order which it should do and open a SELL order...please can you do back test with CONFIRMEDENTRY = FALSE and STOPANDREVERSE=TRUE...you will see the results or may it will work on forward test but not on backtest....what do you think..?? and yes i have managed to put the RSI..thanks for asking...

Thanks
Babar

Dave,

So you are saying the bars>100 is looking for history on my chart? Are there certain parameters on my chart top make sure I am in compliance? This is still a gray area for me, sorry.

Thanks again for helping me..looking forward to seeing the CCI addition and hoping to include multiple time frames. Can that be done on one EA?

Hi, usually you don't need to do anything about that function. But to make it sure you could go to TOOLS menu, then choose OPTIONS, look on CHARTS tab. At the bottom there is MAX BARS IN HISTORY and MAX BAR IN CHART. Put maximum number you can get such as 999999999999999999, it will take care the matter for you. Hope this help

By the way what is the trading rule for using CCI ? Thank you in advance

Thanks for info on Bars..I think I am starting to see the light

On the CCI I use a Period 14 setting. A buy signal would be when CCI goes above +50 and MACD histogram is > 0. A sell signal the CCI would be < -50 and MACD histogram < 0.

Are you in the april contest? The forum seems quieter these days in general.
Everyone must be busy coding, testing and trading.

Thanks.
