Thank you @GG53.  Happy holiday season to you too and to all the members.

The condition by itself is OK, because 99999 is not less than 120, so it will not set ContinueTrading=false; and will continue trading.
My problem was that the indicator returned those same values every time. But it was in backtesting, so I was thinking that was the reason. But now I tried to run the ea on live chart with news coming in and…[Read more]

What about the one posted by @Lowphat here which is already part of the v.1.2 ?

When forward testing I didn’t notice any repainting, and peak through areas match with simplex indicator so the logic should be also good.

Anybody agrees or disagrees?

Hi @jaguar1637, I’m trying to add the FFCal_mini to our EA, but I can’t get it to work. I can try only backtesting as there are no news at this time.

I copied the code you posted here but keep getting these values from the indi throughout a day full of news:

MinToNews = 999999

MinSinceNews = 0

The following condition then causes the EA to…[Read more]

regarding the pre-trading conditions:

FFCal -> @Emonts contacted me by PM and sent me a mqh file for this with example on how to call the functions. Now he’s fixing it so it works with prefix/postfix pairs. So this one is covered.

Max. Spread -> I’ll implement this one

I understand and agree with you GG. But all this is possible with v.1.2.  The published zip file contains a stand-alone indicator ClearMethod.mq4. It can be attached to a chart and visually see peaks and throughs. One can also check EA behavior against the indicator. For trading decisions EA relys only on this separate indicator.
The reason I…[Read more]

The v.1.2 IS using iCustom(). The fact that is called from the mqh file can not make any difference. See here: http://docs.mql4.com/basis/preprosessor/include   The content of the mqh is placed inside the mq4 that referenced it.

Advantage of using header files, besides reusability, is better logical structuring of the code. We hardly have any tr…[Read more]

Hi all,

Came back from the weekend and see great posts

I saw @Lowphat posted in the ‘chat’ thread an indicator that is according to GG53 rules regarding the peak-throughs so I updated the EA.  Place the ClearMethod.mq4 inside ‘Indicator’ folder.

Thanks @Lowphat for contributing.

The entry is still at the bar ‘Close’ and places Stops at…[Read more]

Thanks @simplex

I couldn’t reupload plain source files without the server changing the name all the time. I think it’s because there are files with the same name on the server already. So I zipped them. Hope it works.

@slicken, @johnbaag, @Bartleby, thanks for contributing. I will look into it and post bugfix version later on.

Meanwhile, has anybody thought about how to implement these ideas from GG53:

As I understand it, peak and through areas are defined by relative positions of Highs and Lows. And as long as a candle is being formed, it’s High or Low…[Read more]

Attached is new version of the PenguinEA
Changes in logic were made based on GG53 ideas in the quoted posts.
V.

I don’t have it as a separate indicator at the moment. I just compared the ea’s behavior to indicator posted by @tankhang

V.

wow, a lot of activity here.
I filled out the EA skeleton provided by GG53 with logic from the PeakThroughEA and thus creating the first version of the Penguin EA.
The basic functionality is the same and it has the same performance. There are also other functions provided with the skeleton to dynamicaly calculate TP, SL and Lots.

I placed…[Read more]

@GG53  Great, looking forward to building this EA 

@simplex  yes, as I understand it, the EA will need volume data, so it will be very helpful if you can provide some volume functions. We’ll see later on what exactly they should do. Also, running the EA on H4 may make it a little harder to get those volume data as H4 bars don’t ne…[Read more]
