thanks zanny..... it was all those years of trading first and thinking second that made me wonder if perhaps it should be the other way around.....

still fall victim to impulses every now and then...... h

hey zanny..... this is a perfect example of why to never use anything without the mq4......

i would never say anything was 100% non-repainting...... your talking about math being applied to ever changing data set..... the math is in many cases comparing small numbers...... so there is always the chance something might change by a microscopic amount and have a large impact......

moving averages using the platforms included iMA() function should reliable...... or at least would cause me no concern.....h

I tested out the 3 little piggies and it repainted, really badly repainted on me on the 1hr timeframe on EURCHF
(Using my phone and I don’t know how to post picture on this website)

hey zanny..... how where you testing it...... i have seldom had luck using metatraders strategy tester using mtf indicators...... quite often they don't plot at all or don't reflect properly......

the strategy itself is sound, so it might be my code.....

naturally you must wait until the weekly bar has finished...... and because it uses the close on the weekly timeframe, no trades could have been taken on any movement this week..... the earliest you can trade on this weeks price movement is after this weekly bar closes this coming sunday......

will look at my code in any event.....h

These are the images that I took when I was testing it live… I don’t know that I have to wait till the weekly bar and the daily bar close… maybe that was the case. But here are the images… maybe there was something I didn’t understand sorry from my side
