Default A little more Back Testing !!
I have done month to month backtesting from Oct 2007 - Current. using 30M Timeframe on EUR/USD.

Every month shows a profit with 70% winning trades (5% give or take).
I am not at my home PC w/ the numbers but you can average approx. 90-105 pips per month.

What surprised me was that using a 15M timeframe w/ EUR/USD also showed very good results, a little lower on the win percent (about 65% give or take 5% per month) but still showing a nice profit.

I made a small change to the EA and added an adjustable MagicNumber so it can be ran on both the 30M and 15M charts for live testing. I will post that tonight for download.

I am currently backtesting for other pairs, but I am limiting the testing to pairs that are in a trending market. More results to follow and I will try to take some screen shots.

Have tried or analyzed or back tested the 25m or 20m chart time frame? I have not done anything in depth, but I have played a bit and found the 25 or 20 charts picking up the signals just a bit sooner. However, I do not know if in the long run it is a benefit.
I did not want to dip down into the 15m time frame because it is very noisy.

Added option for MagicNumber if anyone else wants to live test on different charts.

going with the existing coding, it reads MagicNumber then at time it will read MagicNumber+1.
So when you set up on another chart, be sure to adjust the magic number by more than 1 point, I have been using 10, ie...
EUR/USD 30MIN = MagicNumber 1234
EUR/USD 15MIN = MagicNumber 1244
ECT, ECT, ECT.

I am not sure why it doesnt have the ex4 file, if anyone needs it let me know and i will try to figure out why it didnt save that file, but the mql works fine.

**In other news**
I have stated a demo account to live test this, if you are doing that too please be advised that this usually opens 1-5 trades a week, so give it time.
I will post my results with a screen shot. (I will try to do this daily)

I dont have time right now, but I can turn this into an indicator only EA w/ wave alerts as well. I will do that real quick when I have an extra hour or so.

Happy Trading and please keep giving the feedback

Error Code 130 means "Invalid Stops" so either your takeprofit or stoploss values are incorrect ...and I see where...

sl: 1.5387 tp: 10.0000

you're setting tp at $10.00 which is acceptable (though questionable) for a buy order, but NOT for a sell order. Probably you meant it to be price +/-10 pips?

Other error codes can be found here:

Hope that helps
