Hi Pcontour,

thx for your help - but its still far from working. What i wonder is: where is the SynergyEA.ex4 file ? Can I use the old one ?
I did as you explained and what happened was that mt4 takes ages to start (like 1 minute, it was 5seconds before). After compiling the library files and restarting, i have the same 2 errors - and then the EA turns grey in the navigator-list and the .ex4 file is completely gone (when i have a look at the directory where mt4 is installed) ... very strange ...

Does the new EA work for anyone ?

Thx 4 help

What a day for this EA ... at the moment i am up 463 pips and have +200 pending lol
Yesterday was also great after a bumpy start (-250, closed around +200) ...

I am running it on 10 forex pairs + dow (amazing) + oil (good) + gold (not so good), will add another 4 pairs (skandies) this week and then filter out the bad pairs (most likely gold, aussie, kiwi, usdcad) at the end of jannuary.

Will also play with the settings a bit as i was unlucky today on eurjpy and usdjpy, otherwise i would be up another 400 pips ...

As the last version of the EA isnt working for me i am turning off the EA during asian session except for the jpy crosses.

Thx for this EA. Will post my settings at the end of the testing phase.

I have been going over the EA; I added some debug stuff so I can tell a bit better what it's doing. It seems to enter end exit trades fine, but I am only trying a sampling of the settings.

If anyone has a case where they are 99% sure the EA failed to do as instructed, either on entry or exit, go ahead and let me know the broker, the pair, the TF, and the EA settings so I can see if I can reproduce it and thus find any hidden bugs.

Has anyone had any luck with finding settings that seem to work? Next, I think I will try to enable the EA only at the start of Euro and US sessions, and see if I cannot get it to thus stay out of a lot of the losers.

Hi everyone:

I am going to add a feature to prevent it re-entering a trade on the "same run".

The reasoning is: I am now testing it with a super simple setup using only TakeProfit; i.e. when you get a signal, get in and look for 50 pips profit, and just take it; don't be greedy... that's it.

But the problem is that as soon as it gets out, it is likely to try to get right back in because the same signals are still there. So I want to at least try to make it reasonably intelligent about not getting right back in a trade.

This of course it tricky because, how exactly do you define when it's okay to get back in? One way would be to say it has to go forward one candle. That's probably not good enough. Another way is to say it has to switch trade direction each time, but in longer trends, that could be bad too.

So I thought about making it so that if it has been in a buy, it cannot get in another buy until we have had at least "X" amount of opposite (short) Heiken Ashi candles. Or I could require that if it has been in a long trade, it cannot be in another long until the price has touched the opposite (lower) PAC line...

But I am curious if anyone has any better ideas on how to define what a re-entry really is..? Some strategy that will best define the start and end of a run, so that it can make good re-entry decisions.

Thanks,

Derk,

I've seen a few people out there take the distance of the order (open to close) and say not to open any order, long or short, until x number of pips away from the last order.

Just a thought.

Thank you for your great EA. Just to refresh your memory I (Kobus) am still using CrownFX and Yannis was trying to communicate with you concerning the fix to let it trade on the CrownFX platform.

I am still using the version you posted in Dec on a demo account, I run it 24 hours and all pairs are 4Hr TF. I am very happy with the results, I have trades running 100's of pips into profit.

Looking forward to your next version.

Regards

With regard to the problem of exiting and reentering trades in profit, I would suggest that this strategy be avoided, since it creates the further problem of deciding when to avoid reentering a trade. I think it may be simpler if we could just refine the exits. Otherwise the algorithm threatens to become unwieldy and sprout epicycles.

The DeMarker or similar oscillator could be used to trigger exits or prevent entries when an oversold/overbought condition has been reached. The same oscillator might also be used to filter out entries when the priceline is ranging.

Another possibility is the Force index, which is a very responsive oscillator.
