Hi,

Thanks for that.
In the Market field I've typed GBPUSD for a BUY & EURUSD for a SELL.
When I clicked the .ex5 to download, it gave some errors, such as semicolon is missing and double quotes are missing. So I then changed the fields to "GBPUSD"; & "EURUSD"; but it still generates those errors.
Is that the correct way to input the currency pairs manually?

This works really well manually in MT5. Even when the daily goes completly the wrong way you're saved on the M5 retracements.

Hello,

can you type this in the "Market" field e.g. GBP/EUR or can you choose from a drop down list?

Andrew

Hello,

I'm trying to put a sort of pair trade EA together where it should buy one currency pair and short another currency pair.
To specify a certain currency pair do you have to type the currency pair in the "Market" field under 'more settings' or can you choose from a drop down box somewhere ?

Thanks
Andrew

Is this what you mean?

It loses the profit when going sideways (same old story). Will have to experiment with exit points as well.

Is there a way with fxDreema to work out the angle of the moving average because sometimes in a BUY position all the conditions can be TRUE and the moving averages can be pointing down?

Thanks

I'm in the early stages of putting together a multiple moving average EA.
I've used an AND condition (for the 3 MA's) but it only places one trade at the beginning of the backtest and thats it for the duration.
The SELL side is the exact opposite but it never comes into play unless I delete the BUY side.
I've used a SL of 5 & TP of 20 but these don't even show on the chart.
would someone like to have a look?

Hi,
I was experimenting with just a simple moving average, but I've been watching it in the backtester for a while now and it may have been a false alarm. It definately did not close out a position when the MA's crossed. But this time I have only used 1 lot of hours (08:00-21:00). Strange! - probably the backtester in MT5.
I will keep a note.

thanks for the detailed reply.
Yes you're right. For Cross to be confirmed it would have to be the previous candle otherwise like you said it would just be a temporary Cross.
I will try with candle ID 1.

Cheers !

I've used the hour filter and specified to trade during the hours 8-9am and 2-4pm (GBP/USD) - Asia and NYSE over lapping times.
I'm using a moving avrage cross over to enter trades.
It does start trades in the specified times but when the moving average cross over signals a close position AND is outside of those hours it does nothing (which is good as its only doing what its been told).
Is there a way to tell it to allow the current trade to finish then close it then wait for the next specified trading times?

Andrew

Hi,

Is it possible to enter a trade at the price when the 2 moving averages actually cross and not when the candle closes etc - because whats the point of choosing X> (crosses above) when you could end up entering a trade nowhere near where you intended.
If you can enter a trade at a specific RSI value for example why can't this happen with the MA's ?

Andrew

Thanks, thats great.
Its great when it does what you want it to do.
I'm starting to see how it thinks.

Cheers
Andrew
