Hi all,

I have been trying to elaborate more on the EA of Yuriy Tokman called ytg_Multi_Stochastic on M1 timeframe. This elegant EA may show some weaknesses, when ''swings are 'beaten' by trends''. I have been trying to fix this problem by searching in two areas:

- Use of MACD (or another arrangement of MAs) to eliminate (ie not to do) some entries.
- Use relation to other three pairs at the moment of a possible entry - this info is not used so far in the EA.

So far, without success.

I wonder, whether this forum could help me with some ideas how to beat weaknesses of the EA ytg_Multi_Stochastic on M1 timeframe.

This EA is publically available at: https://codebase.mql4.com/5653

Thanks a lot in advance.

have you tried using rsi looking for oversold/overbought areas as possible trends?

Thanks for the idea biz0101. This might work when using multiple timeframes. I shall play with that a while.

Hello, im very fresh in trading im learn it abaut two year, and have only 3month real trade experiance. Im try to program the ichimoku indicator. Sadly it don't want to work:((. I think beacose i don't speek mql4 language(c++).

KS= Kejin San
TS= Teikan San ....
jelenlegi=the actual
elozo= the one beafore this one
zaroar= close price
zaroarano= the last candle's (the one beafore this one's) close price

Here it is:

extern double KSjelenlegi=26;
extern double TSjelenlegi=9;
extern double Chinkaus=52;
extern double Lots = 0.1;
extern double TakeProfit = 50;
extern double Zaroar = 1;
extern double Zaroarano = 1;

int start()
  {
   double TSjelenlegi, TSelozo;
   double KSjelenlegi, KSelozo;
   double SpanA, SpanB, CS;
   int cnt, ticket, total;
   
 total=OrdersTotal();
 if(total<1)
  
   TSjelenlegi=iIchimoku(NULL,0,9,26,26,MODE_TENKANSEN,0);
   TSelozo=iIchimoku(NULL,0,9,26,26,MODE_TENKANSEN,1);
   KSjelenlegi=iIchimoku(NULL,0,9,26,26,MODE_KIJUNSEN,0);
   KSelozo=iIchimoku(NULL,0,9,26,26,MODE_KIJUNSEN,1);
   SpanA=iIchimoku(NULL,0,9,26,26,MODE_SENKOUSPANA,0);
   SpanB=iIchimoku(NULL,0,9,26,26,MODE_SENKOUSPANB,0);
   CS=iIchimoku(NULL,0,9,26,26,MODE_CHINKOUSPAN,26);
   Zaroar=iMA(NULL,0,1,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
   Zaroarano=iMA(NULL,0,1,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,26);
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//vétel(bay)

   if(TSjelenlegi>KSjelenlegi && TSelozo<KSelozo && SpanA<Zaroar && SpanB<Zaroar && CS>Zaroarano)
   {
    ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,3,0,Ask+
    TakeProfit*Point,'Ichi',16384,0,Green);
    if(ticket>0)
      {
       if(OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES))
         Print('VÉTELI poz nyitás : ',OrderOpenPrice());
       }
       
     
//eladás(sell)
     if(TSjelenlegi<KSjelenlegi && TSelozo>KSelozo && SpanA>Zaroar && SpanB>Zaroar && CS<Zaroarano)
     {
     ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,Lots,Bid,3,0,Bid-TakeProfit*Point,'Ichi',16384,0,Red);
         if(ticket>0)
         }
            if(OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES))
               Print('ELADÁSI poz nyitás : ',OrderOpenPrice());
               }

Please comment, i know its not good but it will... Mat

Mat, is this the complete program?
because you're missing the declaration of these variables: TSelozoZaroarano, TSjelenlegiKSelozo

also, this is not an indicator but an expert advisor since it trades your account.

yes, sorry i try to make EA from the Ichimoku, it intresting i copy paste the stuff and it > or < beatween the TSelozoZaroarano and the TSjelenlegiKSelozo.

Print(' ',Zaroar);
//vétel
   if(TSjelenlegi>KSjelenlegi && TSelozo<KSelozo && SpanA<Zaroar && SpanB<Zaroar && CS>Zaroarano)
   {
    ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,3,0,Ask+
    TakeProfit*Point,'Ichi',16384,0,Green);
    if(ticket>0)
      {
       if(OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES))
         Print('VÉTELI poz nyitás : ',OrderOpenPrice());
       }
       
    
//eladás
   if(TSjelenlegi<KSjelenlegi && TSelozo>KSelozo && SpanA>Zaroar && SpanB>Zaroar && CS<Zaroarano)
    {
     ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,Lots,Bid,3,0,Bid-
     TakeProfit*Point,'macd sample',16384,0,Red);
     if(ticket>0)
      {
      if(OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES))
         Print('SELL order opened : ',OrderOpenPrice());
           }
    }
   }

I want to put in that don't trade when RSI is oversold or overbougt, expect in right direction.

not sure what's going on in your code since you paste bits of it, but measuring rsi is very simple.

check that the rsi is bigger than X value (replace X with value): if (iRSI(NULL,0,14,PRICE_CLOSE,0))>X)

and the same if you want to check it's smaller than value X: if iRSI(NULL,0,14,PRICE_CLOSE,0))<X)
