hi , i am willing to pay for somebody to have a look at this ea ?
it works only about 50% of the time, it needs a expert eye
thx a mill

@ralph a few tips:

• You can delete the violet blocks, they dont do anything in this setup
• You dont need multiple turn off blocks, you can separate the ids by a comma: 19, 20
• You dont need multiple "close positions" for one condition. This block will close all positions anyway.

But why doesn't it work as you expect, what is wrong?

[roar]

I made those cleanup fixes for you:

This is still exactly the same EA, same logic and same trades, just in a simplier form.

Another point: why you use cross conditions to close trades? Maybe simple above/below conditions are more efficient?

Please ralph, do not duplicate threads.

[ralph]

@roar thx VERY much , sometimes it does not open trades

will test

[ralph]

nope did not open buy on USDJPY 8mins ago

adx was >20

[roar]

@ralph its the same EA, I only cleaned it, its the same functions.

Take the time filters off and backtest again. Then add the filter, and see how it affects

[ralph]

@roar that was the initial problem , only works sometimes

[ralph]

is once per bar not the possible problem

[ralph]

@l-andorrà sorry for the double thread

but i am frustrated

the ea struggles to do a simple function

i do not know if the problem is with fxd or me or the vps

that is why i am offering payment for then to take time and help me solve this problem

i have stripped all the bells and whistles in the ea , just to test the ema cross to open positions , but it does not open every time , you dont get more basic than that

[roar]

@ralph are you backtesting or live testing?
You should definitely be backtesting at this stage of the development, you will learn literally 1000x faster.

Lets do an experiment. Strip down all non-essential parts of the EA, then run a backtest, then screenshot where it SHOULD have opened a trade and also send the current project link.

I need to know what you expect before I can see what's the problem.

[ralph]

@roar i did strip down , im on demo

i must just mention that i load the ea on 4 pairs , do you think they work against each other ?

[ralph]

im busy live demo testing , seems to work now as ea is only on 1 pr

[roar]

@ralph EA should work ok on multiple pairs, I dont see how there can be any interference. Anyway, you can try to set different magic number for each EA:

If you'd share an example screenshot, I could better see the problem.
