EA Missing Crosses and Trades

[johnle1024]

Hi,

This is an amazing product and I have built some amazing code and strategies with it. However, I cannot start actually using the EA output because there seems to be issues with indicator crosses that do not register. This has happened on a number of indicators. For example, I am attaching the shared link below for a simple cross on Aroon Horn, which is a very simple and common indicator. The signals don't change between candles and the data is populated at the start of the candle. However, it still skips crosses (Yellow Circles) or doesn't create the buy until the next candle (Orange Circles) . Is there something I am doing wrong? Can anyone please help? I've tried this on three different versions of Aroon and same thing happens.

I tried one Arron indicator and I actually see more signals, which is most probably because they were detected in the middle of the bar and until the end of the same bar the indicator repainted. But I can't find missing signals like yours. Take a look at the error messages first. Then, put the EA on visual test and make it work slowly at the places where the signals are missing... I think you will be able to see whatever is happening at these moments.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I'm currently doing some tests and will report back with what I find!

I still have this bug, not sure why but I tried swapping all my crosses to the below and it behaves much better, especially when there are multiple trading conditions.

example:
MA5 < MA20 candle 0
MA5 >= MA20 candle 1

It may just be glitching on my end, I'm going to see how this works out but so far, so good.

@johnle1024 yes i had the same thing. Swapped green > red to red< green or vise versa not sure anymore but it worked better

Hi guys,

I have the same problem. Most of the time the EA does what I want it to do. But a few times it just misses those crossing lines. Example: EURUSD daily chart in august 2016. Can it be because of the 90% accurate data from mt4? bullsvsbearstest is the EA. The other is the indicator.
0_1568523912852_bulls-vs-bears.mq4
0_1568524195701_bullsvsbearstest.mq4

Thanks in advance,
Marcel

@marco-3 Well, in your case you expect the cross to happen on curremt candle at a certain time. As on the current candle your indicator is repainting, there is a chance that the cross is missed. In your particular case you watch in the time when spreads are usually very wide spread. That may be an issue. Would it matter, to wait until current candle is closed?

@trader-philipps Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately when candle id is 1 it also happens. I checkt for repainting and this indicator doesn't seem to do that. Also, often the EA works. I assume the fxdreema logic works fine. Guess I will find out in forward testing

@marco-3 I hope so. Good luck!
