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?

Could someone please tell me how to edit a post

Sorry, here is the link to the right Ea.

for some reason , this thing won't trigger short, can someone explain that? I have been changing this thing around for an hour, and it won't trigger short..how can that be possible?

I wanted to add that this morning i cut this thing in half and used only the buy side of it..since price was in an up trend , I didn't want to get triggered short.

Ok Got it , here is a shot of this mornings results, and what it looks like on the chart,
It triggered multiple times on one bar..

This just won another 5 out of 5 trades a short while ago, it works best in a slow sideways market, I have used 1 minute chart only, you have to exit manually..

Ok I got it,using a lower input, down from BB 8, to an input of 5 makes it trigger nicely and dang it! this thing works, I just won 12 out of 14 trades on the demo, one to two ticks (cyborg) you exit manually, here are the inputs if anyone wants to try it and possibly make it better

1. designed for price in sideways mode, (upper candle wick >= top BB) BB input is set to 5, experiment with it, I use 1 minute chart, sell here
2. ma 1 > ma2 but ma2 is < ma 3,,this is saying that we are not ready to move yet,,we are all tangled up! if price breaks out, and the 3 moving averages line up
   properly then price is not going to bounce back(theory but it works pretty good), then EA does not trigger...Somebody add a breakout so it will catch both moves, it's beyond me right now.

@trader-philipps She triggers when your example # 1 happens,,,when the candle breaks through the bands,and leaves a wick. I would have thought that candle setting, ,"bottom wick size(pips)" would trigger if set to "<=" , equal refers to a touch doesn't it? Is this the condition you are referring to, if not do, you have an example EA that I could look at?

Which Candle setting would you use if you wanted to Buy when the candle just touches the bottom bands and then bounces off, not crosses, but just touch..I have had the best luck with just using ma 1 crosses over but it still seems like it doesn't trigger enough, you really can't see it, it's so fast..

Ok, I found it, it was inserting an extra comma for some reason.
