Ichimoku Kinko Hyo EA v1.1

Attached you will find an ichimoku expert advisor.
(edit: a link to the post with the newest version of the EA you find at the end of this post)

I think the settings of the EA are self explanatory.
Feel free to play around with various settings and/or to make changes.

I am still learning how to program and/or make changes of existing programs, so there is no guarantee that the EA is free of mistakes.

In the settings you can choose which kind of ichimoku signals (kumo / chikou) you want to trade (all, normal, strong signals).

The EA trades 15 pairs without to have all the charts open.
Further you are able to choose if you want to stop trading on friday (GMT-time). ATR-based calculation of SL/TP is included.

EA should work with ECN also (first sends order, then attempt to modify for tp/sl).

important: Please use on demo first (or only)!
What you MUST change in the settings is your GMT-timezone. Actually it is set to 6 (GMT + 6), otherwise the EA will not work correctly is you set stop trading on friday to true!
If you did the right setting, you will find the current day and time on the left side of the screen

EDIT Dec/10/2012: As promised, revised v2.0 attached.
Further you find a third version (with changed logics and based on a modified shell ea code (which is by Steve Hopwood)). I am not sure if it is totally bug-free, ... - edit: it was not.
In >= version 3 you have the opportunity die receive emails. The ea is able to use the (working) mt4i email library, for infos see also: mt4i.com/appstore/app.aspx?id=17

edit: found some bugs, new version 3.0a attached.
The ea is based on the reworked version of steve hopwoods shell ea, see details for that version in steves thread here (or, if you prefer german, see also here)

edit: version 4.0, less bugs
