Crazy Friday gave me many large Draw Downs on most of my setups, also very quick Profit spikes, which were not always fully collected:

{quote} I love these new extensions to CycleTS. In the past I have been a fan of PullBack trading within the main trends using HAS variations, however, this has so far been difficult with CycleTS, until thanks to Earle's ideas to do it manually with MA filters. Based on Earle's idea I have just started out using Daily and Weekly HM filter as a way to automatically filter Cycle trades going in direction of longer term trends. Having some MA filter built into the Cycle trader will make PullBack trading with the main trend easier to accomplish and...
Here is my first test based on Earle's idea of trading PullBacks within the main trend using Cycle 1. In my case I automated the pair selection by using the Weekly HM as my trend filter, surmising that this would approximate to a 200MA filter, then only take Cycle trades in the direction indicated by the HM. First days result was effective:

I am still having issues with trades not being taken which would impact on the bottom line.
I did revert back to DB v8x because v9 was giving error messages as previously discussed.
Gene, are you aware of these issues and will there be a fix?
I would like to try this out on a small live account but need the system to perform as expected with regards to taking trades.

[quote=seller9;12304646]{quote} After seeing what your results have been I have decided to add a MA to the next version of the Cycle Trader TS v5 along with a few other items you can see in the screen shot of the settings that will be available.

I like the idea of the trader having additional tools. The 200 ma can keep us out of trades when it is flat-lining but as the attachment shows you can also miss out on a fair amount of potential profit.

I also like JustUncleL's idea of using the HM and I might activate it for next week but will look at using the Monthly as there are less 'no trade' pairs as opposed to the weekly HM.
Both of them show the above pair as a 'buy' so it is likely that a lot of those TS buy signals below the 200sma would have been taken and closed on the opposite signal for a profit.

Some interesting thoughts happening here

Will this be the missing link? Maybe, if not, my model 3 can wait..

From my observation the Monthly HM selects more pairs for 1hr Chart, but some are not in the correct direction of the current long-term trend compared to the Weekly. I believe the Monthly HM should be used with 4hr charts.

The way I'm selecting HM time frame trend filters is by dividing the HM TF by Chart TF to find what is close to 200, so for Weekly HM/1hr Chart that's 10080/60=168, which is close enough to 200. So extending that criteria for HM filter Time Frames we get: 15m Chart=1440HM, 1hr Chart=10080HM, 4hr=43200HM

I hope that makes sense.

Anyway I will start testing next week based on those HM filter criteria, whilst I waiting for the CycleV5 update.

{quote} Hi Gene, I am experiencing intermittent but frequent response lags from S9 Cycle Trader MT4 on my new i7 Desktop running Windows 7 with 32Gb RAM and 256Gb SSD dedicated to trading. Just to compare with my alternate platform running Windows 10 with 8Gb RAM the setup feels slow instead of rocketing along. To be more specific can sometimes takes 3-5 seconds to respond to DB Properties Setup Menu changes for instance which is not the case on the lower spec machine. Would you have any thoughts on this? Thanks UPDATE: Just noticed Windows Compatibility...
Have you tried reducing the MT4 Database size, I found that helps with a sluggish MT4, you don't need much history for the Dashboard to function properly unless you are using Renko charts, so I suggest cutting back to say 2500 points per chart:

Looks awesome. The 3 candles on the right side of chart are the previous 2 weeks and the present week. This helps to see the directional pressure of the pair and helps me with the buys and sells and also not to panic when the trades starts to reverse. When the price is above the daily the candle will be green. The candle is called any candle and can be set to any time period as well as time offset. May help some traders in their decision making. Not sure how to add the files for the small program.

Hi, I have had similar experiences with multiple trades being taken. This could possible have been through rapid price movement as it was over 20-30 seconds but maybe something to look into with some kind of delay until next trade is allowed?

just putting it out there and getting some ideas.

I have not seen this type of fault, however, I must admit I have not been paying close attention at the charts to make sure that all trades are been taken as expected to the AddTo lines. Next week I will pay closer attention to trades to see if I can also catch this type of fault occurring and collect screenshot evidence, logs etc of when it occurs.

PS: I expect this type fault to be part of the DashBoard trade processing with the Broker, rather than a TS fault.

Thanks for the suggestion will try this shortly. I am surprised however that without changing any MT4 settings on either platforms my Windows 10 install with 8Gb RAM runs multiple S9 MT4 setups without issues yet Windows 7 with 32Gb RAM demonstrates this laggimg behaviour even when running just a single instance of S9 MT4.

Hi Justuncle,

Yes I have noticed it a couple of times previously but at that stage there were a few new TS versions coming out. I will definitely take a look at the Journal and logs next time too and see if there are any clues there. Only really noticed it due to the DD on that pair on the dashboard compared to the others.

Good tip on the history too, I do find mine to be a little sluggish sometimes.

Thanks, Matt.

Hi Everyone,

Been running a few tests and getting some good results. I was running a M15 test with one taking baskets with EL per session and the other trading 24/7 with a overall TP of $1000 to see which way was better at accumulating profits. Unfortunately I have upgraded my VPS and I forgot that I cancelled my second one that was running the test so that got shut down on the 31st! I will set this test up again on my upgraded VPS then share in a week or two.

Have been running 1hr charts taking baskets and have attached some pics. I do like the 15min as it does seem to churn out a pretty much one basket every session so I will keep testing that but the 1hr charts seem to be a little less risky. I see people using some MA's and I see seller is adding this into the next addition which will be a great add on.

I will setup a few more tests this week, maybe 15min and 1hr with 24/7 and baskets/session to get some comparison. I might also add in the HM filter and see what this does to the mix also. Would be great to trade in like with the higher trend. The 1hr did go into DD for a day but did recover and close out the basket which was nice (pic 3 & 4).

As for the trading times, my settings are local NZ time. 12pm is Tokyo Open, 7pm is London Open and 12am is NY Open. These are Forex Session open times.

That is interesting, I have not run MT4 on Win10 for some time because of the security issues I was getting and I don't have a Win10 install that I could test on. From my understanding Win10 does have improved multitasking performance which may be the difference. The problem I find with Win10 is that it updates itself automatically and it is nearly impossible to stop this, any update can break an old program like MT4. One way to get around both Win7 and Win10 issues that I have been recently testing is to run MT4 on a Linux platform, which may not be of interest to most traders here.

BTW: Before anyone says that Linux is not used on many computers, did you know that MAC OS (iPhone to) is based on BSD code (which is similar to Linux) and Android is based on Linux code.

Hey everyone, finally read the entire thread and looking forward to start testing and posting results. I have a vps I'll be testing on, I see from the recent posts most are testing new TS that I don't have access too currently so will be using older TS to test. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas they would like me do trial let me know otherwise I'll go with some ideas I've gathered reading the thread. Wish everyone a great week ahead!
