Hi Windchaser - i have read the Guide and FAQs several times before posting. Sorry about the screenshots being in differing TF - ive been going up and down TF looking at the TDI to see whats happening with the indicators trying to figure out why that trade didnt close. All of my testing so far has been on H1 and thats where it was when i noticed the trades should have closed based on the TDI crossing shown in the indicator. i note that the TF recommended H4 but thought id try something different... The trade/order tab shown in the screen shot for...
There's bug in v0.7 if TDI crossing in the opposite direction sometimes it's not closing the trades This will be fixed in v0.8.

In v0.6 we have an ATR bug,so we removed it in v0.7, but we will look into restoring the ATR logic in v0.9. In v0.6 we add TF input for TDI entry, so it will use TDI crossing setup from the chosen TF, and will use pivot line crossing based on current TF. Please note that EA makes trade decisions only after the candle is fully closed.

We don't really support v0.6 anymore (but you can still use it). The TDI indi TF should match with the chart TF. H4 is our recommendation because on lower timeframes there would be many false signals and the profits were not consistent.
It's either going UP, or DOWN.

I just got the ea up and runnning. I had basically given up hope on it and just assumed that because I am in USA that the EA would not work with FIFO rules. I have been following Davit's thread closely for a long time. I had missed that the ea required a different version of the TDI- RT in order to run properly. Now it seems to be running fine on a US based Oanda account. I am just wondering now if anyone can tell me, I have not given distinct magic numbers to each pair that the ea is running on. And I do have open trades. Can anyone tell me if...
Right, reading the EA Installation Guide and FAQs document carefully, is beneficial to everyone. https://goo.gl/RSSjcE

Best to use different magic numbers for different pairs. Trades are already opened, will have the "old" magic number on them, if you change the magic number on pairs with running trades, those running trades will not be "managed" by the EA since the Magic Number is no longer matching.

Yes, you can modify the magic numbers for the charts that do not have trades opened, currently.
It's either going UP, or DOWN.

well im getting excellent results so far with v0.6 with a scaliping style strategy using the 15min TDI entry/exit;
I could post a whole bunch of other screen shots just like thie one below... it just keeps working - hasnt lost a set for me yet, tho im sure it will come
Working on AU, CJ, UC, AC, EA, AJ pairs - im avoiding GBP crosses whilst this brexit stuff is lurking - cost me bomb last week, im staying away from it - and also avoiding anything looking very trendy atm. So the EA is getting strict oversight.
i manually control when i let it take control however - and so far im not allowing trades at S/R38 only higher levels, and i simply dont like the look of the formation or pending news etc.
On v0.6 i have Martingale active, TP at 100pips... I dont use martingale on v.07 and the slower time scales.
V0.7 on the slower TF its entering alot less trades so i dont have as good a picture on the performance yet - but its still winning more than its loosing, so far so good.

hey groper

nice to see your results on M15. Im having good results with H4, and occasional manual intervention.

You said you were using the TDI entry method - are you also using the TDI angle meter arrow or degree? are you doing anything that isn't ootb - and if so can you share settings?

would be greatly appreciated thanks! blam

thanks for the reply groper - yes I'm sure there will be ups and downs to come this is forex after all!

ootb means 'out of the box' i.e. default settings. So basically currently you're using it on m15 charts, S/R38 set to false and TP at 100 pips, martingale on.

is anything else changed in the settings? if possible if you could share v0.6 would be great, I can't find it, only v.051 and v0.7

yes you have it, so not all ootb settings. Also - add volume 3 pips, max risk i set to very low number - depends on your account size.

Another theory on this is to basically trade any change in TDI direction between SR61 - SR100. This means you can set pretty big numbers for the size of the pivot zone range and it will enter basically anywhere in the upper ranges provided the TDI entry conditions are met.

See attached if you want to play but earlier versions no longer supported by aziz and the guys working on this... be sure to read all about it and the bugs it contains, use at own risk...

Good stuff. I like the idea that you are keeping the ea on tight reins. I think AN was one of Davit's favorite pairs, why aren't you running that one? Also, I am a bit weary of EA and AJ on this system, because when we get a change in risk sentiment they can blow through almost everything... I prefer more the idea of using an atr for entry when there is an overlap. I have attached a good atr if you need.

Thanks!
I am running AN- its only taken 100pips frok that pair so far.

I agree on the sentiment driven pairs- I try to avoid those when things are looking funky although i did pull some trades off the r100 level when really overbought so its a matter of assessing the big picture at times. If you just leave the EA unattended- its always going to take some stupid trades... all EAs only work in certain market conditions- im not aware of any 1 system that works in all markets all the time...
