@jstap Still not working here

Update: https://fxdreema.com/shared/F04RsOSAc

maybe this give you clues

@jstap I'm right then, but if set the distance to be 7, the trade won't open, why?

@jstap How are you gonna do it? are you sharing something?

Yes, I tried the crosshair, but I'm not sure if I'm using it right, in the picture, does it has 7 pips distance? or 71 pips?

Here is my latest update on the project,

I dont know why if i set the distance pips to 10 between my smoothed MA, the trade just wont ever open

So i set it to just 1 or 2 to get it open, but yeah it wont good enough to sort

Any suggestion?

Here is my current project, but the EA does not want to open any trade, please help

@jstap

Yes,

Basically, those colored indicators are built by 2 MAs,

5 SMMA and 26 SMMA
If the 5 crosses up the 26, then it's a buy signal (blue) vise versa.

But the problem here, since it is always will be crossing, and the EA i made has a logic to follow every cross up of the MAs, the EA will not be good against a sideway market, but is very good at a trending one.

Now what i think i can do is to sort that sideway market by maybe doing something i mention earlier if it is possible, but if not, please suggest me something i could try

@l-andorrà
Really!? haha, I'm just trying to express what is in my head

I know there is nothing that is even close to the holy grail hahaha

is there any recommendation on how to get a good distance value? so i don't get late to enter the trend

@TipsyWisdom

This picture is showing there are 2 market conditions based on my indicator, which are SMMA 5 & 26

On the left section, there is a big trend happening, while on the right is not.

I might need help on how do i describe the problem & solution,
Is there any suggestion on at least how do i tell the EA to not trade?

is it good to use indicator gap? as it will also delay my EA from opening the trade
or is there any way to check some last trades, if happened too often in a short time and are loss, dont trade untill there is an indicator gap?

Cheers

all right then, thanks

@jstap Okay,

Im a bit confused about what does the numbering does on the project

should i number it continuously per one tree, or side by side? like
1 6
2 7
3 8
4 9
5 10

or

1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8
9 10
?

Does it affect how it's executed?

@jstap in which part to be exact? beginning? before condition or after? or before open trade?

which block i could use to check the MA distance?

Or anything just to make the bot more profitable?

@jstap So this has no solution yet?

How do I achieve this:

Since my algorithm is to take trade every MA crossover, it does make profit if the market is in trend, but if the market isn't in trend (ranging/sideway) it is not profitable since it will open and close trades too often that will cause in loss.

How can i sort that ranging market out so the trade will not be opened if the market is ranging/sideway or if there is too many trades occurs in certain time?

Update:

I don't know what was wrong with my project, but then i copied the one from tutorial page and modify it on my project and now the EA running as intended

thanks for your support @jstap

@jstap Im still struggling with your instruction, no matter where i put the close trade block, it just won't do when the ma is crossing

can you please make it for me and share, so i can test yours and check does it error in my system or my logic

Im using 2 MAs, both smoothed with 4&26 period
if 4 crossing up the 26, close sell and buy
if 4 crossing down the 16, close buy and sell

please share how you make it here so i can test, cheers

Im using this settings as i found in the tutorial page, but i still have issue with it

When there is an open trade, and then the MA crossing each other, the trade wont close, why?

can you give me an example in shared project please?

i mean, only do trade when the ma crossing, not by limiting the open trade
