TrendlineTrader EA — Frequently Asked Questions
How do I name my trendlines so the EA monitors them?
Use the format: EWI_[direction]_[label]_[entrymode] — for example EWI_buy_wave3-support_touch. Right-click the trendline → Properties to edit the name.
The EA is not detecting my trendline.
Check the line name starts with EWI_ (the LinePrefix setting). Make sure the format is correct: direction must be "buy" or "sell", entry mode must be "touch", "cross", or "barclose".
A trade fired but I did not expect it to.
Check the trendline name — the EA monitors all lines with the EWI_ prefix. If you have old lines on the chart with that prefix, rename or delete them.
The EA fired a trade when I redrew a trendline.
The EA detects redrawn lines via checksum and re-arms them automatically. If you redrew a line that had already fired, the EA treats it as a new setup.
Can I use the TrendlineTrader on multiple charts?
Yes — attach the EA to each chart separately. Each instance monitors the trendlines on its own chart independently.
