Matt’s FOREX Expert Advisor Blog

About the EA:

The EA is designed to catch a weekly trend/wave and ride it for the week. It works off the opening price for the week and is configurable in a number of ways. Here is a summary of the functions.

• Does your broker have a Sunday bar?
• Distance before changing direction?
• Do opposite orders follow the trend?
• Allows up to 5 orders to be configured with the following parameters
  • Lot size
  • Take profit
  • Stop loss
  • Break even (when x profit achieved then move stop loss to break even)
• Sends e-mail of current status and history
• Chart display of profit/loss history

Special notes:

• System should start on Sunday when the market opens.
• Should be run on Daily charts.
• The EA may work (place trades) if turned on during the week but not what I envisioned and results are not guaranteed. It’s really meant to start on Sunday and run through Friday’s close.
• It is extremely important that MT4 run all week with the charts open and EA attached. No EA can do its thing unless everything is running. That’s why you have an EA to trade for you.
• Currently supports all brokers as long as you specify whether your broker has a Sunday bar or not (BrokerHasSundayBar = True/False).

About the EA:

This EA was requested from a friend a while back. I’ve updated it with some of the latest features in my other EAs. The original intent here was to catch certain times of day where a currency was likely to be ranging. I named this one TossUp because I feel it’s kind of like flipping a coin. One of it bigger uses could be for trading news events. Here is a summary of the functions.

• Allows up to 10 orders to be configured with the following parameters
  • Lot size
  • Take profit
  • Stop loss
  • Day start hour and minute
• Sends e-mail of current status and history
• Chart display of profit/loss history
• Maximum spread

Special notes:

• It is extremely important that MT4 run all week with the charts open and EA attached. No EA can do its thing unless everything is running. That’s why you have an EA to trade for you.
• Currently supports all brokers

About the EA:

This thread is dedicated to the on-going development of the SynergyMethod AutoTrader that I wrote. Please remember that I didn’t develop the SynergyMethod strategy. Please use this thread as a place to post positive suggestions, bugs, and general discussion of the EA and it’s results.

Before proceeding, please not that I’m not affiliated with ForexFactory.com, CompassFX, or Dean Malone.

The original thread (that I found) for the SynergyMethod strategy can be found here. I later found out the Basic Synergy Method was developed by Dean Malone and that there are free webinar videos on the internet which can be found here.

You can find a wealth of information and ideas at the thread listed above including many tips for manual trading and enhancement ideas for the strategy. Everything you need to know about trading this system is freely given away on that thread and even includes at least one EA that is also freely given away on that thread. That does not mean that mine is better than his because he gives it away. That also doesn’t mean that his is better than mine because it’s free either. Also, the webinar videos are very good and teach you everything you need to know about manually trading this strategy.

Now why did I just tell you all of that? I want you to be aware of the fact that there is free information out there to trade this strategy and even at least one free EA.

Now you’re saying… “So why should I pay for your EA if I can get one for free?”.

If you are here, and you keep reading, and even decide to buy then you’re getting an automated Expert Advisor from me that trades this system for you so you don’t have to do it yourself. What do you get with my EA? Additional features I’ve added, guaranteed support for the EA, and much more. I’ve coded in some additional things based on requests, provide videos showing how to use my EAs, tips and tricks, results, and I bring it all together in these forums that I maintain myself. I’ve completely severed all involvment on ForexFactory.com because of the path I’ve chosen developing, selling, and supporting EAs that I’ve coded and stand behind.

Here’s the bottom line…
The creator above has decided to give his system away freely. I’ve decided to code an EA to trade it for me automatically. I’ve made it known that my version of this EA is available but it carries a cost for my development time and the support that comes along with it. In the end I hope people will feel it’s worth it. If they don’t then there isn’t anything forcing them to stay here either.

Still not clear?
Dozens of people can freely share directions on how to get from point A to point B. You then have several choices…

• You can walk (manual trading)
• You can hitch a ride with someone going your way (free EA)
• Or I can give you a lift but I charge for gas (my EA)

Which choice is best? That’s a matter of preference and what makes you comfortable.

Still here? Here is a summary of the functions.

• MaxDiffFromOpen ensures a good entry
• Trade exactly the way Synergy was developed or tweak it to fit your preference
• Choices on how to exit
• Trailing stop based on previous bar’s PAC level
• Allows up to 5 orders to be configured with the following parameters
  • Lot size
  • Take profit
  • Stop loss
  • Break even (when x profit achieved then move stop loss to break even)
  • Trailing stop triggered (x pips positive triggers the trailing stop)
  • Trailing stop amount (trail current order by x pips)
• Can adjust indicator settings
• Sends e-mail when new orders are placed
• Sends e-mail of current status and history
• Chart display of profit/loss history

Special notes:

• Can be run in any time frame
• It is extremely important that MT4 run all week with the charts open and EA attached. No EA can do its thing unless everything is running. That’s why you have an EA to trade for you.
• Currently supports all brokers

About the EA:

This thread is dedicated to the on-going development of the PipNailer AutoTrader that I wrote. Please remember that I didn’t develop the PipNailer strategy. Any questions regarding the actual system should be handled on forexmoments original thread at ForexFactory.com. Please use this thread as a place to post positive suggestions, bugs, and general discussion of the EA and it’s results.
The original thread for the PipNailer strategy can be found here.

You can find a wealth of information and ideas at the thread listed above including many tips for manual trading and enhancement ideas for the strategy. Everything you need to know about trading this system is freely given away on that thread and even includes at least one EA that is also freely given away on that thread.

I’ve completely severed all involvment on ForexFactory.com because of the path I’ve chosen developing, selling, and supporting EAs that I’ve coded and stand behind. I can say with complete assurance that 99.9% of the people who’ve tracked me down here and decided to buy this EA were aware of the fact that there was a free version developed by someone else. If I were walking into people’s living rooms and holding them at gun point until they bought my EA then I would say there’s a problem but that is simply not the case here. You keep on reading… Am I forcing you to do that?

About the EA:

The GrabMyOrders EA only manages trades that have been placed manually. Read below for information about how that may be useful.

A friend of mine pays for a service that allows him to get daily trade suggestions. I will not discuss what it is since it’s not the main reason behind this thread and I’m not advertising for anyone here. Everyday at 5:00pm (Eastern) he checks the website and looks to see which pairs are Long and which are Short. As part of this service, the website also gives suggested take profits and stop losses. He would then have to manually figure out where he could actually buy or sell and the adjusted take profits and stop losses (pain in the butt).

He has been keeping track of how far into profit each of these trades go before turning to hit a potential stop loss and has found if he ignored their suggested take profit and stop loss he would be profitable. He would accomplish this by setting a take profit of 20 and stop loss of 25 and buying or selling in their suggested direction. Doing something as simple as this would have bagged him roughly 2,800 pips on 16 pairs over the last 27 days. This is done simply because their direction is right more than not and he’s not looking for many pips and stops are tight.

So to make a long story short he wanted a way to simplify the task which is why I wrote him this EA.
