Some more results with Trend trading the CycleV4:
15m Cycle(1,1)+HM1440 : plenty of trades taken and closed, a bit like a scalper at this time frame.
4hr Cycle(1,1)+HM43200 : not many trades, more patience may be needed at this TF, I will leave it to continue.
15m Cycle(2,1)+HM1440 : not as effective as Cycle(1,1) ending the day with a 200pip lose.

{quote} Yesterday I had 5 Pepperstone MT4 Terminals and 5 Oanda Mt4 Terminals, all running on separate Broker sub accounts. There were no -1 crap time out errors nor any missing trades. So far it appears Eugene's explanation that this problem is more likely related to the Broker not processing the orders quickly enough from time to time. I will continue to keep an eye out for this type of issue, so far it has not shown up. PS: I did notice that some of my Pepperstone terminals were getting communication errors to the Broker during the NY session,...
I have NOT had the same error after reverting back to DB v8x with the same demo account / broker so at my end at least it appears to be DB related.
My setup with the monthly HM has taken very few trades which is ok - I'll let it run.
It did close out GBPCAD on an opposite signal and as a result of the HM filter it did not take the opposite trade which is good.
The TS however failed to reset so need to do it manually after each progression has closed out.
The AUDUSD I expect will drop later today with the interest rate announcement expecting a drop of 0.25%
I have added the HAS MTF to my chart which is set to mimick the 200sma as per JustUncleL's post. This allows me to get a better feel for which higher TF to use as a filter. Because the indicator allows 3 higher timeframes than the chart t is on and I trade on the 1HR, I will not get a monthly view of the HAS but the weekly gives me a pretty good idea anyway.

My first result for Tuesday, this is an interesting one:
1hr All Pairs Cycle(1,0)+AddOns(9,0.7)+HAS(1,200,1,1): at the start of Day I selected the trade direction as indicated by the HAS color. Nice result with minimal DD. (OANDA demo account: there was NO -1 crap time out errors, comms errors nor any missing trades.)
PS: Here is a sample pair screen shot

Some more results for Tuesday, these were all on Pepperstone Broker Terminals, no missing trades nor -1 crap time out errors, however there were a small number of communication errors noted.

Here is my 200 ma test from last night so far. {image}
PS: This trade was started the previous day on NY open, this shows the danger of holding trades open passed EOD, the new day can have new trends.
I'm thinking maybe a good alternative to 200sma/HAS could be Ichimoku, which I have not seen used in the S9_DashBoard so far. I have found with manual trading that the Ichimoku to be very effective with the longer Time Frames, particularly 4hr+. I will start manual testing of this idea tomorrow, that is using Ichimoku as a manual selection filter for the CycleV4 trade direction on 1hr+ charts.

Some more results from yesterday:
4hr JPY+USD Pairs, CycleV4(3,1): 4hr charts still seem to work well if you set your target not too far away.
15m All Pairs CycleV4(1,1)+AddOns(9,2.0)+HM1440: seems a good scalper still, just need to drop the target a bit, to EL 30/15 should work
1hr JPY+USD Pairs SWGex(2,2,48): this setup does not seem effective in the slower market conditions.
1hr JPY Pairs Cycle(3,1)+Addons(9,0.5):
4hr All Pairs Cycle(3,0)+RSI(1440,4) confirm: still very effective
