Thread: Double SDL EA

Here is another EA based on Slope Direction Line.

We enter buy orders if the second SDL color becomes lime and the first SDL confirms the signal,

We enter sell orders if the second SDL color becomes magenta and the first SDL confirms the signal.

EU H4. On one year.

Total net profit : 14.99%
RDD : 10.18%

For some reasons, I don't get a good modelling quality.

Perhaps this could be because of repainting. Do trades occur at the next candle AFTER the colour change or at the same cnndle (this is not too accurate).

At the next candle, otherwise it would generate a lot of bad signals.

Thanks funyoo for your work.
As asian session is very bad for EU and GU , could you introduce a time filter ?
I saw also at the beginning of the EA the indication MODE_ SMA for SDL.
I don't know if it's important but it's a MODE_SMMA and no a MODE_SMA.
Regards.

Ok here it is.

I have erased the MODE_SMA part.

Manually the results are better because the trade is taken at changing colour before the confirmation on the following candle.
So, manually, the profits are optimized and the losses reduced.
Conclusion: it's a manual system.
Thanks funyoo for your work.

You can still try to replace at line 171, this :

Code:

double SDL1=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"Slope Direction Line",period1,method1,price1,2,i+1);
double SDL2=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"Slope Direction Line",period1,method1,price1,2,i);
      
double SDL3=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"Slope Direction Line",period2,method2,price2,2,i+2);
double SDL4=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"Slope Direction Line",period2,method2,price2,2,i+1);
double SDL5=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"Slope Direction Line",period2,method2,price2,2,i);

By that :

Code:

double SDL1=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"Slope Direction Line",period1,method1,price1,2,i);
double SDL2=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"Slope Direction Line",period1,method1,price1,2,0);
      
double SDL3=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"Slope Direction Line",period2,method2,price2,2,i+1);
double SDL4=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"Slope Direction Line",period2,method2,price2,2,i);
double SDL5=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"Slope Direction Line",period2,method2,price2,2,0);

In order to get trades before the confirmation bar.
