THV MTF EA beta testing

Hope someone can look at this screen & .set file and tell me why the EA didn't fire an order - See the 2nd yellow line.

All the indicators lined up:
Price above Coral
Price above Cloud
Fast Trix above slow Trix
Fast & Slow pointed up, and Fast Trix above zero.
All 6 lights green
iMax blue over red

I really appreciate your help. I've been over the setting 5 times, and now they are just a blur.

All -

I have compiled the list of beta testers(this list is based on users showed interest in beta testing), thier currency pairs and tf to test. The currency pairs / TF's may not be what was asked by some, please bear with me in that case.

Here are some of the things for us to go over.

Each tester has 2 TF to test.
We will use 2 instances of MT4 for this testing, one of each TF. (You can install the 2nd instance in a different folder name). This will help us in tracking each TF performance more clearly.
We will start with $10,000, and with...
Karun,
As I will be testing GBPJPY pair, is the entry pips setting still same for this currency pair? 1 pip=0.01 or I need to adjust the entry to 100 pips=0.01 in the PriceCrossCoral and PriceCrossIchimoku.

Do you wanna test us or just joking?

How you can set that to a 30M TF?

MaxCrossIchimokuPips=10.00000000

Maybe you need to wait 5 years or more untill all your parameters are met in 30M on only 7 pips distance. It's like winning the lottery.

All-

Here is the updated manual for the EA as posted earlier. I'm still working on the details of the SL/TP/BE settings, once done I'll post the updated version. This manual will also be available in the first post.

Hopefully this should address questions on entries and exits.

Thanks
Thank you Karun, It does help.

- Are the entries taken after a closed candle or as soon as a set of conditions occurs ? (using your example in PDF file, the third dot might change color many times during a given timeframe).
- Do you know if there is a way to specify one (closed candle) or the other (as soon as condition is met) to trigger a trade ?
- Like Flying Dutchman , I struggled to set a classic SL in short timeframes. Learning from trial and errors, though.

Thank you

you have set CloseIfProfit=true.
only trades in profit or BE are closed and since the trade at the time of the imax cross was not in profit, it didn't close.

Cobraforex, my apologies. I was doing nothing more than showing my total ignorance. But I am learning quick. Actually, the EA did trade in the night, for 1) BE 2) -21 pips 3) +61 pips for a NET +40 pips

I should set MaxCrossIchimokuPips to something more like 20 or 30? Again, this is just my not understanding of the implications of a setting on a specific TF.

I was trying to put in a reasonable number so that the EA WOULD trade, as the way I read the Settings Remarks is that if this number was too large, it would NOT trade if the price went up past the cloud on a single candle. Easy to do in a M30.

Hope we can get some "starter" sets for pairs/TF to help with this stuff.

Thanks so much for your patience and understanding.

After loading the template THV EA 5.0, the "THV3 Infopanel1" indicator is loaded and provides the pips to open, high/low, spread, etc. This is the yellow information box at the bottom of the chart.
I was unable to change the ATR pip multiplier to a number with a decimal. It seems it accept all numbers but nothing else (no period to get 1.5 or any other characters - for testing).
Or has anyone managed to change it ?
See attached screen shot

The atr pip multiplier in the EA is fine and I could change this variable without a problem.
I post this message in this thread as the list of indicators is provided with the EA.
Thanks

Folks.

I am trying to get this setup on the USDJPY M60 going. My priority so far is to get at least a trade opened but I don't have any success whatsoever.

The idea is to open the trade above/below the cloud, a cross with the fast trix in the same direction. Then exit at an imax cross.

But sip, zero, nada

Any input is very, very welcome and greatly appreciated.

For the past few weeks I was more a M5/M15 trader. This M60 is new territory for me and I was wondering if someone has some guidance for SL and TP points for the USDJPY pair. How long does an average trade run for? 5,6,7, 24 hours?

By just looking at the chart it seems that taking and exiting trades at an imax cross could be profitable already.


Thanks, have a great weekend & a good start with the EA test phase starting on Monday

The entries are based on current candle, as soon as conditions met. I think xux is working on condition to include closed candles, I'll check with him

Yesterday I had a long discussion with Xux on those settings, I'll update the manual and try to post it before Sunday eve. That should sort any issues releated to SL/TP/BE settings.

it's probably defined as an integer value. you need to contact whoever coded the panel to have this changed. one of the THV team members should be able to put you in the right direction.

Yes, that is defined as integer value, so it has to be a round value

when un/reloading the EA I see in the experts tab sometimes an "uninit reason 1" or "uninit reason 5" message which is chinese to me. other than that, business as usual.

Karun,

Is there a way to set the EA to take hidden profit at specified level e.g. 10pips or make sure it uses hidden stop for number specified along with S/R?
I noticed that after changing few trix settings EA opened the trade but after generating 15 pips the trade started going in reverse because I specified for the S/R level to be reached which never happened, and I was wondering if we could specify the hidden levels or S/R level which ever is reached first?

Thanks

In the set you posted you have set pattern to 1.

That means that all ather parameters needs to be met AND a pattern needs to occour to open a trade !!!!

No pattern => no trade !!!

If you set pattern to 2 it will not trade against a pattern !!!

Please read the User Guide from Karun, and read it twice or trice if needed, everything is well explained there.
