Hi all, Thank you for the clarification ND, much appreciated. I went ahead and inserted the multiple Delta code into the "Time Filter" version with default settings and then the same EA but defaults set to the MA settings that i'm using on a five minute chart if anyone is interested in seeing what i've mentioned as "Four Demensional Charts" taking multiple time frames into account. Both EAs are found at this link. The one with my settings has the "atm" as part of the file name.

Cheers,
Thom

=====this next bit is a post script... And a question on the secondary entry signal
On the GbpUsd trade for today v2tf (tf currently false) the EA closed out in profit after a retracement and the trailing stop closed the sell. This was nice (about 70 pips), but then shortly after that i noticed a sell arrow that did not make sense to me. The signal MA was well below the "close" ma, which was also well below the "main" MA. I thought the only time the EA would enter a new secondary entry position was after the signal went (in this case of a sell market) above the "close" MA, then went below the "close" MA continuing in the trend?

Thanks ND. I will make those setting adjustments.

ND,

In your chart, what constitutes non-trading zone?

I presume we are still using the same presets as before, am I correct? According to your chart, the EMAs are different from the presets, which one should I be using?

I posted the chart with 8, 21 and 55 for more better visuality (visualization ... sorry). For this perpose only. Just to explain.

If you are asking aout second entry condition so if I remember the code it is the following:
- It is if SignalEMA is above (MainEMA + Delta1).
Simple buy condition generally.
AND
- If SignalEMA is above or equal (CloseEMA +Delta2).
Condition for re-entry.

If we don't need thisd Delta so simple set Delta1 and Delta2 to zero (0) in the settings of EA (version 2).

So the second condition is both of them (SignalEMA is above MainEMA and SignalEMA is equal or above CloseMA).
Second condition is not crossing.

I may code the second condition to be optional as "false" or "true" for example. If it is necessary.

For example (the settings of EA - version #2:
- Re-Entry=false;
(the first condition is working only).
- Re-Entry=True;
(both second and first condition are working all together).

It may be 3rd and 4th condition as optional as well (we do not have 3rd and 4th but just in case if we will develop it). For example if we decide to add some filter (indicator) or any.

Greetings PipSters.

I was kind of bummed when after closing that nice GbpUsd sell, the EA, within one candle of the close opened another sell order. I closed the order imedeately as i didn't want this one around as even though the signal MA was in fact below the "Close" MA the signal had not met my requirement of going on the other side of the Close and then turned back over it once again in the direction of the trade. I figure if the trailing stop loss got me out in profit, there was a reason for that exit. Why would i wish to re-enter unless there was more criteria met. I'm not stating that my "criteria" is without fault, but visualy there seems to be some merit in the thought.

This is a very nice EA. I'm going to continue doodling.

: ) Thom

Can you explain how DELTA is used? I am not familiar with it.... I guess it means that the SignalEMA must cross both the MainEMA and the Delta line or is that accounted for on the cross when Delta is specified? I guess it prevents being on the wrong side of the trade, that is, being whipsawed.
