Ooops

Thanks,

That was stupid of me....

dswk:
Look at your smiley EA face... it's "sad". That means the EA is not activated.

Please select the graph where is the EA, press F7 and check "Allow Live Trading".

I hope it's help.

Maybe I need to re-build it from scratch. Will let you know

 

Must be the witching hour

Hi Firedave,

The below chart shows that the EA opened another trade and a sell at that. I have the EA set for open one trade only and according to the two ema's if anything it should have been a buy...(except that the ema's have not crossed yet.

hi

is it possible to ask for additional feature?

i'm wondering if somebody can give additional exit feature based on CCI-14. so, the EA will close every open order if the CCI 14 crossing 0(zero) line.

really wait for a response

 

EDIT:

Forget the post. Found the problem: Doesn't concern the UniversalMACross.

thanks.

 

never in the good direction

why when there is a crossing in buy the ea gives an opinion in sell it is never in the good direction
