why don't you try the manual method if the EA is giving you some challenges. I think derk said earlier that the EA might have some bug.

Autumn:

I am a bit busy working on my own, but hey, whoever gets one to be profitable first, I'm game to use it!

Regarding your other posts, which I presume are related to my EA and Ind:

You may need the indicator: "Chaikin's Volatility_Kalenzo", which is called from both EA and Ind, but only if you have UseChaikin set true, which you probably don't.

Are you getting any useful output to the experts tab or the journal tab?

As I mentioned, to run the EA, you need these four files:

LibDerksUtils.mq4
LibDerksUtils.mqh
LibOrderReliable.mq4
LibOrderReliable.mqh

They can be found it the .zip file in post #65, and the latest version in post #179.

Okay, folks...

Yes, when you download LibDerksUtilsHEADER.mq4, put it in your experts\include folder, rename to: LibDerksUtils.mqh.

I have requested from the admin that he allow header files to be uploaded in their proper form...

Someone else mentioned putting LibDerksUtils.ex4 into their libraries folder; it should be .mq4, not .ex4 in the Libraries folder (although .ex4 should work too).

So let me recap:

Just to be sure, shut down your platform, then make sure the files are in the right places:

In experts, you should have the EA:
SynergyEA.mq4

In experts\indicators, you should have the indicator:
SynergyInd.mq4

In experts\include, you will need:
LibDerksUtils.mqh
LibOrderReliable.mqh

In experts\libraries, you will need:
LibDerksUtils.mq4
LibOrderReliable.mq4

When done, start up the platform. Then from there, start your metaeditor, and from your Navigator on the right, open LibDerksUtils.mq4 from the "libraries" section. Hit the compile button and make sure it has no errors. Then open LibOrderReliable.mq4 and do the same.

Assuming those both compile fine, open SynergyInd from the "indicators" folder and compile that one too. Then open SynergyEA and compile that one too.

These should all compile fine if everything is in the right place. If so, close your metaeditor and then you can apply what you wish to your chart. Remember, the EA no longer needs the indicator; so they are independent.

If you have further problems, be sure to check what it says in your Experts tab and your Journal tab in your Terminal.

Hope this helps...

Hello all:

After my last post, I got to looking at the indicator in more detail and found a bug or two. I have started using the PAC as the only method of closing a trade, and saw that the indicator was completely wrong on that, so I fixed it, as well as making some small fixes/adjustments to the EA.

Please find the latest versions (just Ind and EA) back on Post #179; I have updated them there.

Hi AL.
I would be delighted to try your EA. I can't recall seeing it posted before but confess I do often skip version 1 of anything :-).
95% of my trading is with EA's. As long as the setting options are easily deciphered I will have no trouble.. I look forward to seeing it.

Fowope:

Why are your arrows and "X"s so large / how did you make them so? Is there some kind of setting for that I am unaware of?

-Derk

FYI --
I had the same large arrows when I first used the indicator. One day I removed the SynergyInd by mistake, then added it back -- when I did so it showed the smaller arrows.

hello, i discovered that this new version is not picking trade as earlier version and this is what my chart looks like after removing and updating with the new synergy indicator.

if there's anything different from this, iwould be happy if it is posted as screenshot.

thanks

Derk,
Add the line

#property indicator_width1 2
etc...

setting to 3 or 4 will give an even larger x or arrow.
