@ambrogio Haha I still haven't known how to share projects or screenshots. But I've managed to limit the number of trades by using the CHECK TRADE COUNT block just b4 the buy/sell option it has solved the issue for now . In the process another issue could arise in a live account whereby the EA might be waiting for funds to carry on trading . I was thinking of using a % of my equity instead of balance as risk , from your point of view would it be wise?
@ambrogio How does one put a limit to the no of orders
@ambrogio Is it the same as volume limit exceeded...and if so
, could the results of an expert advisor which self terminated or took very less time in completing a backtest for like a one year period in 30 seconds be relied upon? Since most trades are closed prematurely even though in profit.

ENTRY FOR BUY : Candle close/price action crosses BELOW<M.A = Period : 3 , shift : -1 , Method : Exponential , Apply to : low
ENTRY FOR SELL : Candle close/price action crosses ABOVE>M.A = Period : 2 , shift : -2 , Method : Exponential , Apply to : High
COMPUNDING FORMULA
*LOTS TO ADD=0.05
*OPEN PRICE BELONGS TO=THE CURRENT PARTIAL TRADE
*PIPS AWAY = AFTER 30 PIPS
@l-andorrà
I had done a few but after backtesting on mt4 a couple of times using different methods the conclusion was that using a negative shift property on a M.A cant work in an EA due to the lag hence it self terminates . So I deleted those strategies right now am working on other ones that can perform equally or better but without the negative shift property on the moving averages

Cant get how to implement strategy whereby the entry trigger for my EA will be a moving average crossover and the exit trigger will also be a two M.A cross...also in the same EA SHORT trades need an entry trigger of current candle close is above a M.A while the exit trigger is when the price action of the current candle close is above another M.A . Not only that I also need a trailing stop after after movement in a certain number of pips...plz help out
