Post #418 by Wackena on the Tlatomi Method Thread.
I am going back to version e for a run on Sunday evening. I altered the code as he suggested in his most recent post here, to read TimeCurrent.

Quoting wilson1668DislikedHi again and sorry for bothering you,
I am forward testing with the original concept (5EMA/9SMA). See attached picture, the order opened while the MAs have not crossed each other.Ignored
Quoting winsteadglennDislikedThe pound worked flawlessly. The Euro fired off a little before the 9/5 cross. The franc and the yen were right on time, but gave me a buy where it meant to sell.
Cool idea to optimize your system. I have all those mods embedded, now.
Thanks. We are knocking on the door of success!

Quoting wackenaDislikedIf you are using v1.0fb, the MA cross is reversed. It you want standard 5ema/9sma cross, then use these settings:
pd1=9;
ma1=0;
pc1=0;
pd2=5;
ma2=1;
pc2=0;
If another tlatomi EA version, let me know which one and I will check it out.

Quoting vdgraafDislikedSomehow the USD/CHF has opened a position in the oposite direction of the trend: LONG, instead of short.
I am using the latest version with the correct .set file attached to the pair.
Any idea why this is happening?Ignored
Quoting wackenaDislikedwinsteadglenn and wilson1668,
I reviewed the code this weekend and found a program flaw. Attached is the fixed EA - tlatomi-v1.0fb. I apologize for posting a non working EA.
After resolving the problem, I backtested the EA and was not satisfied with the results. It worked OK on eurusd, but not on gbpusd, usdchf, usdjpy. I have to admit to feeling quilty about the previous EA not working. I just don't like these types of mistakes on my part. So in attempt to redeem myself, I spent some time in studying the backtest results and found what might be a point of interest. The 5ema and 9sma cross in generating a trade signal may not be what is needed. I've added these new vairables.
pd1=0; // Period for 1st MA indicator
ma1-0; // Moving Average for 1st indicator - 0=SMA, 1=EMA, 2=SMMA, 3=LWMA
pc1=0; // Price Method for 1st indicator - 0=close, 1-open, 2=high, 3=low, 4=median, 5=typical, 6=weighted close
pd2=0; // Period for 2nd MA indicator
ma2=0; // Moing Average for 2nd indicator - 0=SMA, 1=EMA, 2=SMMA, 3=LWMA
pc2=0; // Price Method for 2nd indicator - 0=close, 1-open, 2=high, 3=low, 4=median, 5=typical, 6=weighted close
I found that different currency pairs works better in tlatomi-v1.0fb with different settings for the above variables. The correct MA cross settings is currency pair specific. It depends if the pair is moderate to strong trending or slow rangeing. Using a fix MA set, like 5ema-9sma may cross too fast or too slow for for that specific pair.
Attached are 6 months Strategy Tester results and set files for the 4 majors developed by the Optimization tests on the above variables. I used Alpari data, downloaded on 2006.12.13 The currency pair set, in the attached zip file, must be loaded to its corresponding chart.
I don't know if demo or live results will be the same, but these results were quite good.

Quoting BenQDislikedEven though I'm using the individual .set files, the comments on every chart still say ema 5 and sma 9. And when I do a backtest, the parameters also say pd1 is 5 and pd2 is 9, even though the EA's parameters are different.
I generally don't do backtests so not realy sure if there's another change I have to make. Just not sure why the parameters are not showing in the backtest report.Ignored
