Manual

Just a few things to keep in mind...

The EAs default settings are not really good for any pair or timeframe.  You will have to do some experimenting and find a set of paramaters that works well for your chosen currency pair and timeframe.  A few sample .set files and

strings will be available in the "Presets" section of this site.

The EA only opens one trade at a time.  It waits for that trade to hit SL or TP before finding and making a new trade.  The EA does not manually close trades, it always uses a TP/SL.

The EA always waits for an MA cross and it trades in that direction.  If the fast MA cosses under the slow ma it will go short and if it crosses over the slow ma it will go long.

When you copy strings to paste in the EA make sure you dont select any page or line breaks or it will fail to paste.  Try turning off word wrap on your text editor.  


The following section explains what all the settings in the expert properties do.  If a specific setting is not listed here you should leave it default.


msg1 to msg6: use this to store information or your own notes.

UseCompletedBars: Leave this "true" if you want the EA to wait for an MA cross and for the candle to close before entering a trade.  Setting this to "flase" will make the EA execute a trade as soon an an MA cross occurs.

MA1Periods: Number of periods that the fast moving average uses.
MA2Periods: Number of periods that the slow moving average uses.

mode1tp: Fixed take profit level for mode1.
mode1sl: Fixed stop loss level for mode1.

mode2tp: Fixed take profit level for mode2.
mode2sl: Fixed stop loss level for mode2.

Mode1Prog: The lot size progression for Mode1.
Mode2Prog: The lot size progression for Mode2.

SinleMode: When set to "false" it will use dual mode.  When set to "true" it will only use one mode or the other.

UseMode1 (when SingleMode is "false"); Set this to "true" if you want it to start with mode1 first or set this to "false" if you want it to use mode2 first.

UseMode1 (when SingleMode is "true"); Set this to "true" if you want exclusively use mode1 and set this to "false" if you only want to use mode2.

MaxSpread: Set the maximum spread that the EA is allowed to perform trades with (on a 5 digit broker).  The default of "100" is 10 pips on a 4 digit scale but you might want to tone this down to "30" for live trading or forwards

testing.

StartHour1: The start hour for the first session.
StopHour1: The stop hour for the first session.
StartHour2: The start hour for the second session.
StopHour2: The stop hour for the second session.
StartHour3: The start hour for the third session.
StopHour3: The stop hour for the third session.

Note; The defalt values of "0" on all 3 start and stop times means that the EA enter trades 24 hours a day.  If you only want it to trade 1 session then use the first two and leave the other four at "0".

Mode1TPProg: The take profit progression for mode1
Mode1SLProg: The stop loss progression for mode1
Mode2TPProg: The take profit progression for mode2
Mode2SLProg: The stop loss progression for mode2

Note: Make sure that the step count in these strings are greater than or equal to their respective "Mode1Prog" amd "Mode2Prog" strings since the EA only progresses as far as those strings.

UseMode1TPProg: Set this to "true" if you want it to use the take profit progression from "Mode1TPProg" or set it to false to use a fixed take profit level that you entered in the "Mode1tp" section.

UseMode1SLProg: Set this to "true" if you want it to use the stop loss progression from "Mode1SLProg" or set it to "false" to use a fixed stop loss level that you entered in the "Mode1sl" section.

UseMode2TPProg: Set this to "true" if you want it to use the take profit progression from "Mode2TPProg" or set it to false to use a fixed take profit level that you entered in the "Mode2tp" section.

UseMod21SLProg: Set this to "true" if you want it to use the stop loss progression from "Mode2SLProg" or set it to "false" to use a fixed stop loss level that you entered in the "Mode2sl" section.
