Quoting vdgraaf
Somehow the USD/CHF has opened a position in the oposite direction of the trend: LONG, instead of short.

I am using the latest version with the correct .set file attached to the pair.

Any idea why this is happening?
Unfortunately tlatomi v1.0fb does not know if it is a the beginning of a trend, in the middle or near the end. It only confirms that trigger conditions are met. For a long, it is UD = 1 (-1 for short) and MA1 > MA2. In the version you are using, you see 5 EMA and 9 SMA values, but you can see in attached chart, that entry conditions were correct. Just not good entry point timing.

Makes sense. So when will it exit the trade? Is there something that will allow it to exit before the 100 pip stop loss?

If UseCloseSignal=true, then only exit is the next reverse trade signal. No tp or sl is used.

If = false, tp and sl settings are used.

OrangeRoshan has argued that it is better to wait for the 9/5 cross, than it is to trade on the Shi_Silvertrend dot. Looking back, on the 1 hr. charts, it appears that the dot always nails the apex and nadir of a move. There is often a significant loss of pips, while waiting for the cross. Since the repainting of the dot issue is presumably fixed in the EA by our friend Wackena, does it not make sense to pivot the trade on the dot? Would not a trailing stop loss of 30 pips or so be sufficient protection? Glenn

Igorad created the second version of NonLagZigZag indicator (attached).

He wrote to me the following:

Quote:It's first ZigZag which is connected with Moving Average
and should be very useful for detection of pivot points. This ZZ is workable for any TimeFrame and has not winding sections.
I think it'll good replacement of SHI indicators for some systems like Tlatomi for example.


I think we may improve our channel trading system now!

Thanks a lot Igorad.
Happy New Year to you too.

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.
Thanks to all for the EA

In my Errors tab, It says 'TimeCurrent' - function is not defined.

Can you help me get this fixed so I can try the EA?

Thanks in advance for your help.

TimeCur() is obsolete term being replaced with TimeCurrent(), but presently TimeCur() still works in all MT4 platform versions.

Two ways to fix.

1. Upgrade MT4 platform to build 201. This version recognizes TimeCurrent() term.

2. Open EA in MetaTrader, then ctrl-F and find each TimeCurrent() and change to TimeCur(). After all changes are complete, click Compile button in upper menu bar.

Greatings for all,
I have just finished reading this thread, and I have a couple of questions, but first I'd like to thank Wackena for his precise ansewers earlier on this thread, they helped me a lot.

 

  1. How does the MM option works in Talatomi? If risk is set to 10, does it mean that I am risking 10% of my equity each trade? How many trades can be set simultaneously?
  2. I've just saw the new NonLag Zigzag Igorad have created. Should we replace the NonLagMA with this one? Did anyone forward tested it?

Thanks in anticipation,
CRE

CRE,
1. yes. Only one open order per currency pair.

2. I have not tested this indicator. So, I just don't know.

Can Someone please refer me to an explanation of how does the NonLagMA works, or maybe even its definition?
I've searched for it today, but couldn't find it.

I've seen the pictures, read the thread and the PDF.
They all tell me how to use it, it does not tell me WHAT it is.
I seek to understand WHY the indicatour is acting like that,
For that I need to know how it is calculated.
Can anyone help me?

This method is bueno, I'm really excited to continue studying it. Im just curious what people think are the best pairs on the 4hour time frame. I believe I saw Dan only trades the GBP combo's, some people trade a lot of pairs, so what do the wise folks at the forum feel are the best?

p.s. I'm 23 I studied the U.S. Stock market for a long time, about 18 months ago I heard about the Forex, and I have just recently came to financial position where I am ready to get dedicated to trading for a career. Furthermore, I have learned more at this forum in the past 6 months, then I ever knew about the stock market or the prior year I studied the forex.

So thanks a million pips

Availdollars,

Tlatomi is very good and profitable method and suitable for trending market. For eg, yesterday I bagged 200pips with GDP/JPY using tlatomi method.

I just use a basic tlatomi methos...5ema & 9sma cross and the nonlagMA v4. It's all available in early of this thread.

Just be patient to wait for the right time. Use only 4hr or daily time frame.

Hope that helps..
