Gods Gift ATR

Hello everyone. I stumbled upon this "Gods Gift ATR" EA on another forex forum (link to thread here) while doing some googling. As far as I can tell this EA appears to be a modified version of an old EA I used to use called "Gods Gift EA v7c1"

According to the starter of that thread this EA shows good performance in a backtest running over the past 10 years (see attachment pic).

I've attached it on a demo account (IBFX 5 digit) to see it in action but I got this error a few hours back:

2009.07.06 22:19:57 Gods Gift ATR - 5digit GBPUSD,H1: zero divide

I'm thinking this EA has some bugs, so maybe some of you hotshot MQL4 coders can step in and work toward improving/fixing this EA. I'm thinking it shows promise.

Let me know what you guys think.

I've attached a zip file that contains everything you need to get started with this EA (indicators + EA source). The zip file also contain the source code to the original Gods Gift v7c EA.

The thread on the forum where I found this thing appears to be dead so I'm hoping we can revive the conversation and continue it here.

Hey Alan,

I take it this is for EUR/USD 30 min. What should the trade hours be set at? I am showing from 10 to 10 default.

It's for the H1 time-frame. 10 to 10 is the time to trade, but by default it's disabled (it trades ALL the time). Some of you may wish to set it to the beginning of the European (aka London) session until its end.

Here is my first trade:

Thanks,

Are you using the default settings? I am also constantly getting alerts every tick that say "EURUSD Exit Buy 1.4029" but with no orders placed. It seems to be alerting the price every time. Do you know how I would fix this?

Yeah, those errors are damn annoying. I'm hoping some coder here can modify the EA to include an option to turn off those alerts (it's the Waddah Attar indicator that does this really - I think we should incorporate this indicator's code into the EA itself).

Here is how you fix it though. Open the EA's properties menu and in the "Common" tab (the first one) remove the checkmark from "enable alerts". That should do it!

Here are the current settings I'm using with this EA. They are basically the default settings except I have both "ATR" variables turned on. The settings are for a standard account so if you trade live/demo on a mini account don't forget to turn the "mini_account" variable to "true" otherwise you'd could run into some problems (lol..like possibly the EA blowing up your account!

)

Happy trading everyone.

Thanks again Alan. I just kept the ATR variables off. My broker is strange in that they only allow trading .05 micro lot increments and not .01 so I am not sure if money management will work. I'll give it a shot and see if it works.

Yeah that one eccentric broker. Is there some specific reason they do this that I do not understand?

Ok, great, well you test with ATR turned off and I'll test with it on and we'll compare performance.

Ok, sounds like a plan. I'll post the results when I have them. First, I want to check if it makes a trade with the ATRs on, then i'll turn ATRs off and see how it goes from there.
