For Q1, do you mean to define H4 candles differently than the chart, or define trading hours by GMT?
For Q2, just change the magic number and they won't interfere.

This is possible for the candles but impossible for the indicators. You should choose a broker with suitable GMT time to have the desired H4 candles.

hmm... i found that the system work well with alpari GMT but the spread is expensive, 10pips. Any other broker that hv the same GMT like alpari? I believe their GMT is +2. Not really need GMT + 2, we can use GMT + 6, GMT + 10, GMT + 14, GMT + 18 ...

For better result pls backtest at platform with GMT +  2, for the moment i know is alpari. The result is totally different.

Pic 1. show that the EA never BE+1 for me even after our 50 pips target hit. Trade 2 & 3 still lose more then BE+1.

Pic 2. Show that the Buy entry is not open even it hit out Entry.

Pic 3. I believe this is the error we discuss earlier.
c. Pic 2, the blue line is the entry. Can explain the starting SL. When it move on, SL move to BE+1 > 30 pips. The question is at E3 and E3.1. The SL move to E3, which is the high E3 bar and E3.1, which is the high of E3.1 bar.
By right, the SL move from BE+1 > 30 > SL at the high of E3.2. Because it form a new high at RSI.
Why SL move to the high of E3.3?
It should move to E3.4 as PA close above the 4MA.

The stop loss moved to E3.3 because RSI was higher than the previous bar. Should it move only if RSI is highest from the time the order is opened and not just higher that the previous bar?

SL dont move when RSI move higher. It move when it form a highest high or lowest low. So in our example SL > Pivot high > BE+1 > 30 > E3 > E3.4. For further detail pls refer to SL case3.


Lastly, Xux can you edit the EA to depend on RSI cross to enter signal and not on MACD. Shown in pic 4 below. Beside that i am not sure about the SL shown in the pic 4, a bit off.

Thank you in advance.

I could not repeat the problem of repeated entries and exits on the same bar, it may be caused by corrupted historical data.

Pic 1. show that the EA never BE+1 for me even after our 50 pips target hit. Trade 2 & 3 still lose more then BE+1.

You should use every tick for your backtests, look at the statement of my backtest using every tick.

Pic 2. Show that the Buy entry is not open even it hit out Entry.

Which date did it happen? I would like to run a backtest myself.

Pic 3. I believe this is the error we discuss earlier.
c. Pic 2, the blue line is the entry. Can explain the starting SL. When it move on, SL move to BE+1 > 30 pips. The question is at E3 and E3.1. The SL move to E3, which is the high E3 bar and E3.1, which is the high of E3.1 bar.

SL dont move when RSI move higher. It move when it form a highest high or lowest low. So in our example SL > Pivot high > BE+1 > 30 > E3 > E3.4. For further detail pls refer to SL case3.

Stop loss moved to the high of E3.3 because we have a new local RSI high. Would you like to code the EA so that it moves SL only if we have an all time RSI high since the entry time?

Lastly, Xux can you edit the EA to depend on RSI cross to enter signal and not on MACD. Shown in pic 4 below. Beside that i am not sure about the SL shown in the pic 4, a bit off.

OK, in the next version MACD will just confirm the signal, only an RSI cross of 50 can trigger an entry signal.

Thank you in advance.
