I got to tell you..

I am so depressed that no one could beat the ElectricSavant Challenge™ yet..

I am so depressed about MT4 offering/licensing all these plug-ins available to dealers to rip us off with

and I am so depressed that I am unable to trade Forex profitably...

This EA is my last run at it I think...I really do not know...but I grow discouraged and I keep trying...

I have some friends here and I am human...sorry if I depress any of you...I got to keep trying I suppose.

I THINK? I got this figured out.

ES,

found include files, put them in the folder...still wont attach to the charts...like i said I must be an idiot

jd..YOU ARE NOT AN IDIOT!

start with a clean slate and delete the EA and the include folder..we will do this together.

when you put the include folder in...where do you put it?

ES

P.S. Readers this is for an older version do not let this discussion confuse you...wolfe has deleted the include file in the newer version.

I think I have this working. This is a visual test of 15min bars. The last bar in the graph is the current bar. I set it to look back 12 bars, and return the highest, and the lowest of the 12 bars before the current bar. EntryLag_Long and EntryLag_Short both set to 0.

Have a look at what the EA is returning in the journal for these values.

The highest of the last 12 bars is in the bar 9 bars back from the current one. The value is 1.4568, so that looks correct.

The lowest of the last 12 bars is in the bar 1 bar back from the current one.
The value is 1.4530, so that looks correct.

deleted everything, put include files in expert/include....still no luck on every version until 1.6

Put the include file in first... then the EA...then shut down the platform then restart in that order...try it again

Get the same include file that is with the original kayvan EA...in post#432
