It happens......So, I think I know everything about this method.

Trading on 30M
1 ) Blue Dot appears
2 ) FX Signal in Buy mode
3 ) 5 EMA crosses 9 SMA upward
4 ) Stop : 30 pips away from entry
5 ) Limit : + 10 pips

Trading on 4H

1 ) Blue Dot appears
2 ) FX Signal in Buy mode.
3 ) 5 EMA crosses 9 SMA upward
4 ) Stop : 30 pips away from entry
5 ) Limit : Double Top or Bullish Formation Limit. ( Whichever is earlier ).

If everything is right here, I will test this method on 4H and 30M about
30 times, trading on GBP/USD, GBP/JPY, and USD/JPY.

Thanks for all the GREAT advice !!!
Dan.
What about the aligators?

Hi,

Sorry my mistake - "when I see a double top, bottom etc...". By etc, I mean any kind of formations, tops or patterns.

What about the Vegas indicators, as it says in the updated PDF?

Greetings everyone,

It is interesting to me that with all the talk of entries and exits, not one post on here mentions aligators (to help eliminate false signals) or Vegas indicators (to take profits). This is interesting to me because the PDF about this trading method clearly mentions these indicators as helping us get in and out of the trades.

Does anyone trade according to the rules in the PDF or have we all developed our own personal style?

I am trading original tlatomi method live for three weeks now and it is a little bit different to trade it live or backtest it manually...

One of the reasons for that is opposite dot which appears after the yellow line signal (I also didnt know what to do at first), but from my experience, you should ignore it because it usually moves from last bar to curent when closed.

You can consider some other signal for getting out of the trade, Sniper crossing for example. My target is 10 pips for each trade with sl 100 pips (for now, about 40 winning trades in a row...).

Yes, repaint the past.

In the thread you can find other indicator SHI silver that not repaints the
past, buy i don't like it.

In the system, Shi Silver is not very important.

Coyan



To Coyan or anyone else that would know this answer. You said there are shi silver dots that do not repaint the past, where can I get those? Can someone send them to me or post them on the forum? Another question is, if they dont repaint the past, then why isnt everyone useing them? It seems logical that everyone would want a predictive shi silver indicator to tell what the high or the low is. Anyways, yes I am new to this method of trading so please take that into consideration when responding back to my questions, thanks in advance<!-- / message -->

Totally agree that "Shi Silver is not very important". Actually, I even find it quite misleading and therefore don't use it at all.

Wackena: Brilliant EA.
Do I understand that version F trades only from MA cross to MA cross, without stops, and is always in the market? Thanks. Glenn

EA has 2 filters and 1 time point to trigger order calls. 1st filter (UseDots) is up or down trends based on SHI_SilverTrendSig indicator type signals. 2nd filter (UseCross) is the 5&9 EMA cross. 3rd time point (UseStartNewBar) is to wait till start of new Bar. They can only be used in sequence such as:

UseDots=true, UseCross=false, UseStartNewBar=false. Dots only.
UseDots=true, UseCross=true, UseStartNewBar=false. Dots and Cross.
UseDots=true, UseCross=true, UseStartNewBar=true. Dots and Cross and UseStartNewBar.

If UseCloseSignal=true, no tp or sl. Close signal is reverse of trend as indicated by Dots.
If UseCloseSignal-false, uses input tp and sl to close order.

TrailingStop works in both UseCloseSignal modes.

If UseHedge=true, hedge order call is triggered after 1st order if close of previous Bar-3 is higher or lower than current Bar.

Attached is latest f version.

Has anyone looked at the optimum trailing stop number for Wackena's magnificent EA on a 4 hr. window? Should one close out a position before big announcements?

Wackena: Is there something that enables the program to work on the real money account? Everything seems to be working ok, but it is not initiating a trade when the lines cross. I have the smiley-face icon. I rebooted. I do not have the new bar feature enabled. Does the money management feature work automatically? Thanks. Glenn Winstead

Glenn,
Look in the Expert and Journal tabs in the Terminal window. If there is a trading error, it will be reported here. Also Click on Help and then click About.... Here you see Version and build number. Verify if it is build 200.

These settings look OK. If UseMM=true, the EA disregards Lots setting and auto calculates Lot size based on Risk % of account equity.

extern bool UseEmail = 0;

extern double Risk = 5; // percent of account equity to risk per trade
extern double Lots = 0.1;
extern bool UseDots = 1; // use dot calculation for order entry
extern bool UseCross = 1; // use 5EMA and 9SMA cross for order entry

Wackena: I changed true to 1 and then false to 0, on the above settings and I think we are good to go, now. Yes, build 200.
I presume I should have known to do that. I love your E.A.
Thanks a million , Glenn

Our good friend, Wackena graciously provided the following:

Glenn,
There may be one thing that could effect trading. Recently MetaQuote made obsolete some programming language. One term that is in this EA is CurTime(). It has been changed to TimeCurrent(). Open the EA with MetaEditor and then Ctrl-f to bring up the Find window. Type in CurTime() and click find. Change this to TimeCurrent() and then compile EA.
I'm not sure this is the problem. If it is an EA problem including this one above, these errors will be posted in Journal and Expert tabs in terminal window.
