I am building another EA. using Woodies cci, and apon testing it on the demo, I have noticed that the cci had been set to "chart shift" 1. What should I notice if it is set to "chart shift 0"? I think it triggers early if set to 1, but would like to hear it from the pros'..is this correct,? then that is the way to go, ... why use 0"? ... by the way this info. is not easy to GoogLe up..knew it wouldn't before I tried,,,always the case.

Thanks , that opens up a new world..

Ok , thanks for the input, I thought "candle ID 0 was the candle that was open, and candle ID1 was the next candle that hasn't opened yet. I am wrong? I know you were not questioning my indicator, I just wondered if you had put the EA on a chart and it had worked for you..I still don't understand how it could work " long" but not "short", (ROAR) had said it was because of this example .

@shovel52 Yes it works for longs, because this silly condition is usually true:

lets say, candle upper wick is 15 pips
EURUSD is at 1.1070

Condition: 15 is above or equal 1.1070 -> TRUE -> open buy
0
I don't understand how this can happen, and not be opposite for short trade..regards John

I'm sorry
l'andorrà Are you referring to this strategy "Hull" or the BB strategy? Are you saying you tried it and it works "using the candle upper wick size (pips)"? please explain..

Here is another "cyborg" you have to manual exit..This triggers when ma 1 pulls back to the Hull ma 20, and triggers multiple times per bar. It is best in a trending market. Maybe someone can come up with an exit strategy so you don't have to baby sit..This one triggers long and short, unlike the BB strategy "could only get it to trade long" something to do with the candle wick function . If anyone is interested
I will post the " Hull average indicator" or you can get it from the code base..here is the ea.

Why is it usually "condition true" ? is that fxdreema glitch, or the way that price is being pushed?

Ok thanks for that, the strange thing is that it does" work like that. I t triggers long
like crazy......and I have tried a couple of other techniques and not found anything else as good. Could some one do me a favor? Here are the first 3 modules of the EA. could someone build this, " I don't want to share because I am troubleshooting" put it on demo and see if it fires for you>>long,,and if it does, then flip it over and short, I am trying to find out if "maybe" Metatrader problem,,,broker problem,,computer, server xf dreema.. or just me.. thanks john.

here is a link to the ea, it is very simple and will buy long, but will not sell short, what an I doing wrong?

So you are saying that it does not trigger short for you either? Is this strange? How do people create complicated trading robots when you can't even get a simple one to trigger short?
