Hi coyan, thank you for the kind word. My only hope that everyone could get benefit from this EA. On this EA you could find at least 3-4 different strategy start from simple moving average cross strategy, moving average cross with third MA filter strategy, counter trend moving average strategy, etc. And on each strategy there is also several combination of paramater. I build this EA so everyone could explore their preferred strategy and find good ( or even best ) setting. I didn't optimize the parameter setup yet, so I don't have the good / best combination. So maybe other who have tried this EA and find something interesting could share it with other. Hope this help and do post if you got any suggestion to add to this "tool"

I do not know why but there is no crossing of moving average and it gives an opinion in buy and in more the market goes down

Hi danu, thank you for the comment. Could you post your EA setting, pair and time frame, and your broker, I will check the EA ? Again thank you in advance

hello firedave is mt4 with north finance, moving average 10 - 40 in 1h euro today at 8h30 am

Hi Dave,

When you have a spare 15 minutes, would you explain in greater detail how the third moving average is supposed to function. I would like to learn more about this strategy, but I and my engineer brother are confused on how it is supposed to work with entry and exit, likewise the option countertrend. Any chance you could explain it using a graph presentation. One picture is worth a thousand words, beyond simple explanation. I just know that if we are slightly confused, others are also. Your help is so greatly appreciated!!

MinCrossDistance / MaxLookUp is not working and alarm is not working in EA(Alarm did not work when crossover buys and sells occured in version 2 of EA also).

I have tested these features with various settings, and time periods all yesterday and both fail to work. Note: I added the crossover gap variable values to the graph display as well as the MA's values - Easier to test EA out. Please evaluate what the problem may be. Hopefully you can find a fix for these problems soon. I have attached a one minute graph showing there is no buy or sell in crossover activating on the graph.

That is a bummer FireDave.

What I have done this morning, as you are down right now, is send your program to my programmer I use to see if he can troubleshoot this MaxLookUp problem. I believe in your program and it is worth spending a few bucks to get the kinks out of it and get it making money. I still would like for you to explain step-by-step how the third moving average is supposed to function, along with the countertrend option. It may be easy for you to understand, but I could use some clarification.

Good luck on your computer - They can be a royal pain. I use those 1 GB flash memory sticks to backup my data and programs. They are easy to use and you can purchase them from www.tigerdirect.com for $24.95 plus shipping. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Have a nice weekend and try to relax and unwind!

Hi Dave, I want to change your EA so it will only work in h4 time frame.
So in meta editor i changed it like this:

//----------------------- GLOBAL VARIABLE
static int
TimeFrame = 240;
string
TicketComment = "UniversalMACrossEA v7",
LastTrade,
LastAlert,
TradeDirection = "NONE";
datetime
CheckTime,
CheckEntryTime,
CrossTime;

//----------------------- PREVENT RE-COUNTING WHILE USER CHANGING TIME FRAME
//----------------------- SOURCE : CODERSGURU
TimeFrame=240;
return(0);
}


Am I made mistake by changing like that? I don't understand because never learned language program before and it tell no error when compiling process finished.

Thanks for your concern! And thanks for the people that help me to answer this question!
