BTM - Expert Advisor (EA)

From your log output I'm pretty sure you aren't using the latest version 1.04. Please upgrade to the latest versions 1.04. I'm supporting only latest version.

All the best.

GBPCHF TP hit. I Think to set sl1out to true would filter more many false signals

Probably yes. But the number of trades will be much less.

Yes that's true!

Today is profit. Thanks for everything brother i follow you

I am using the XML file from version 1.01 is this OK.? I updated all the other files to 1.04

FYI
I see that C indicator is using MACD 8,21,9 for filter

i changed it to default MACD (12,26,9) and got less signal but better accuracy on some pairs
there's also some addiotinal signal that dont appear in 8,21,9

Good morning.

It might be true. It's a little bit conservative/restrictive setting. Anyway, we need four or five good trades monthly. Nothing more ...

All the best.

I'm glad it's working ...

Take care.

No, it isn't OK. All releases till now were feature releases. You have to replace all files. The indicators too. I've updated some indicators too.

Please be sure you replace:
(1) JF4XTrader.ex4
(2) JF4XTrader.xml
(3) JF4XTrader.tpl
(4) JF4XTraderX.tpl

Please be sure you copy indicators too:
(I) JFC.ex4
(II) BB_stops_(new_format)_1.3.ex4
(III) TMA+CG mladen NRP.ex4
(IV) JFE.ex4
(V) JFXC.ex4
(VI) xSuperTrend candles (mtf).ex4

https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...6#post12655166

(XXV) The main features of 1.04 version.

Take care.

You're right. JFC indicator is using 8,21,9 settings for MACD indicator behind the scene. And yes it might be true that there are better numbers for these settings.

(VII) C(A,B)-indicator story.

All the best.

Hello,

I don't know if anyone else got this, but I have maxltodayslongsforsymbol (and shorts) set to 1, as in the last default settings, and it did filter some trades, but yesterday I had 2 pairs of trades, 2 pairs long gbpjpy and 2 pairs short gbpchf.

xml file settings:

<Filters MinBuyR1="0.25" MinBuyR2="0.25" MinSellR1="0.25" MinSellR2="0.25" MidBandFilter="false" PPFilter="false" PercentRangeFilter="100"
TP1InFilter="false" TP2InFilter="false" SL1OutFilter="false" SL2OutFilter="false"
MaxLongs="-1" MaxTodaysLongs="-1" MaxLongsForSymbol="-1" MaxTodaysLongsForSymbol="1"
MaxShorts="-1" MaxTodaysShorts="-1" MaxShortsForSymbol="-1" MaxTodaysShortsForSymbol="1"></Filters>

In the first case, of gbpchf there was a rejection of a second trade between the opening of the 2 pairs, which may lead us to think that if there is a third signal after the first opened and the second rejected by filter the third gets through.
But that was not the case with gbpjpy (in this case there was a sl moved to be right after the second pair opened, but I think that had no influence).

If needed, I can upload my complete xml file, and logs of all days since I loaded that xml file and had the ea running (december 10).

EDIT: AH! Noted something that maybe more relevant:
The second pair of trades was opened after the first pair closed on each symbol!
If this is how it should work , the name of the filter is misleading.

I really appreciate you're paying attention.

The EA is checking current state. The EA counts currently opened trades. So if both legs of previous trade has been closed it will allow to open a new one.

This is current state. We can discuss about it of course.

This name might be better perhaps:

MaxTodaysOpenedLongsForSymbol

Thank you for your feedback.
regards

OK, so it is working as planned, we just have to know exactly how the filters work - thanks.

Speaking of paying attention, 2 questions about a couple of things that may not be relevant for the Ea's operation right now, but that I noticed and am curious about:

- On the ea settings/inputs there is an "ea mode", which is set to A, but has other possibilities (up to F).
I believe you are preparing for other ways to work in the future.
What is (or will be) this for?

- On this latest version , on the directory where the logs are stored (jffframework), 2 spreadsheet files appeared. They just have 2 columns with numbers I cannot make out.
Again, it looks like you are preparing something.
What will these files be for?

Thanks one more time for the great work.

Yes this is current state. In the future we can add another filters ...

We aren't using this setting in this deployment of the JF Framework. We might use it in the future ...

Those files are internal files of the JF4XTrader EA. Please don't edit/delete them. Otherwise you'll get into trouble with EA.

You are very welcome.

All the best.

Azis1234, is this the only codes you have changed, or have you also written in the PERIOD_M15 for each pairs also?

The answer is easy. Take a look into your log and you'll see ...

(III) How to add a currency pair? - The another example.
(XV) Always check in LOG file that JF4XTrader EA is able to understand your settings. - The LOG output for settings has been improved.
(XXIII) How can I quickly check if my JF4XTrader EA is working properly?

regards

Thank you for your help. Sometimes is really very hard to stay calm ...

Everything is in the first post obviously ...

(III) How to add a currency pair? - The another example.

Take care.

sorry about that. Thanks for your patience. I promise no more dumb questions. I will read the first post and look for it there next time. All is up and running.
