Tiger Wong, thanks for the fantastic job you are doing and maybe I can help a little.

Matrixebiz, if you have Trade Long = true and Use Sniper = true, the ea will only place trades when the Sniper is above zero. Trades above the first trade will be placed at trend intervals when the Sniper is above zero or green.
Below the first trade the price must be at least "spacing" pips away and the Sniper must be above zero. So if the price trended down strongly by 100 pips and the 1 minute sniper never got above zero, no further trades would be placed. As soon as the sniper pops its head above zero and it is more than "spacing" below the lowest buy it will place the next trade.

If you have TradeLong = true and TradeShort = false it will only ever place Long trades regardless of what any of the indicators are saying.

@waltini

Thanks for your clear explanation. You got the point!

here is my setting for GU oNLY
Minimum balance is $1500
Trade Long Only or Short Only
I decide it manually
I use pipmaker v mod4c as a tool to manage TP.
I thinks this version will be great cause have SL

I haven't forward testing the mod 4c yet, but is it true that once the session profit reached the EA stops instead of reaching another session profit target?

Ok, thanks for that. Do you recommend using the indicators? or just turn them off and let the EA trade normally? Not really familiar with these indicators.

no it doesent wor and here is what i can download.I try to compile that in metatreder editor but there are some faults and i dont know how to repaire.
However thanks for ansver.At the moment i am play with version 9.1 what i download and for now result is awsom.

Hi Matrixebiz, that is the million dollar question, there is no doubt that the ea has great potential. Essentially it is a more sophisticated 10.3. with the same potential for damage.

Perhaps duyduy can best answer you, he is the forward testing guru. I am still playing with the backtester and experimenting going long and short on correlated currencies.

Yeah, I knew this was different than 10.3 but when I saw it do straight martingale this week on EUR/JPY I thought I did something wrong. It would be great for the EA to open opposite direction trades when EA is going against you, like Hedging, cover some of the losses or turning into winning ProfitTarget if trend doesn't reverse back in your favor.

also, is there a DPO Indicator that I can attach to a chart to see what it's doing?

Hi Matrixebiz, I believe the general consensus is to either go long or short only. To achieve hedging take the opposite position in another correlated currency or the same currency(different chart). By having trades with the trend closer together and trades against the trend further apart, hopefully any losses taken by trades against the trend will quickly be overcome by the other currency. This strategy was mentioned by someone else and is not my idea.

A quick look at the code looks to me like someone(probably tiger wong) has named the indicator which is a 2 period linear weighted moving average(30 min timeframe), using a weighted close and using the current bar which is being formed. This indicator is one of the set of indicators provided with metatrader, just use a moving average and put in the parameters.

In this case for a long trade the moving average must be above the open price for the day for any long trades to be taken if DPO=true.

this ea looks really good from what i'v read so far.
how do u really carryout the forward testing.
