THV MTF EA beta testing

Karun,

Thanks for the response. Here are the set files with the revised settings. They are the same right now but they will be different once they have different OB/OS levels.
The OB/OS levels are defaulted to +/- 0.00009000 right now. How would we going about looking for the right levels?

Thanks.

give me some time, I will load it on an Alpari account.

Works, (but 4 losers in row).

not working for me, I have another alpari setup with another EA and that one works fine

but looking into the 5M set of adrazz folder it seems to me its changed very awesome right

how do you mean?

I think for 5M we had an another agreement for the parameters / crossing cloud and coral for instance

Did you try with strategy tester?

I will make you a set which takes a trade every moment, just to try.

Give me some minutes.

ADD: here you go, this set is unfiltered, only to try if it takes trades on your platform!!!!


BTW: You've set lot to 0.10, is your platform compatible to that lot size?

There does not appear to be any errors there. I have set up EA on ODL as well as V5 had taken trades there. I have not been able to get the Crown platform to take a trade yet.

Ok, I may be the only one left that is still struggling with this, but I'm struggling with getting my brain around it. Below is what I had to do to hopefully be consistant between 3 MT4 demo accounts to get my pivot start times consistant. I simply don't understand how this works.

There are 3 places that one has to adjust the times:

In the v06 EA itself:
_settings:
Local_HrsServerTZFromGMT=
Destination_HrsNewTzfromGMT=
Show_1Daily_2FibonacciPivots=

In the Indicator THV3 SDX-TzPivots_v4
Local_HrsServerTZFromGMT=
Destination_HrsNewTzfromGMT=
Show_1Daily_2FibonacciPivots=

In the Indicator THV MarketHours
YourBroker_GMT_TimeZone=

This has to be done FOR EACH CHART that is running the EA
AND
when a new Broker is used.

Now, my understanding is that you can choose one of several places to START/END a day for calculating Pivots (after you choose if you want DAILY or FIB pivots). The most common are:

Open of London Session 08:00 GMT
End of New York Session 21:00 GMT
1/2 of New York Session 16:00 GMT

Every Freakin broker seems to use different times on their MT4 charts. The 3 that I have are as follows:

MB Trader When it's actually 00:00 GMT the chart shows 20:00
Forex Meta 01:00
FXCM 03:00

which is further complicated by the fact that I am in Oklahoma USA, -6 GMT.

First problem I seem to have. No matter what I put in the EA setup, it doesn't change the start time of the Daily or Fib Pivots. I have to use the SDX Indicator to actually see the change on the chart.

So, question: does the setting in the EA override the SDX, does SDX override the EA setting, or are they independent of each other? Are they both needed?

So, I can not figure out the purpose of the Destination_HrsNewTzfromGMT= setting. What is "DESTINATION" vs. "SERVER"?

None of this seems to have any logic. I have 3 MT4 demo accounts:

MB Trader: -6
Forex Meta: +1
FXCM: +3

that I calculated using the chart below. I did this at 4:09 pm CDT:






CDT EDT GMT MB Trader Forex Meta FXCM -5 -6 0 -6 1 3 16:09 17:09 21:09 17:09 22:09 0:09

Yet, to make the PIVOT start today at 17:00 EDT on the actual charts, I had to make the following settings to each of these SDX Indicators:

MB Trader: -6, +1
Forex Meta: +1, +1
FXCM: -2, 0

I'm just not getting the logic of it. I had to get these by simple trial and error until it looked right.

Then, when I put the same -6, +1 and -2 in the YourBroker_GMT_TimeZone= setting of the THV3 MarketHours indicator, THOSE have to be changed to make the market hours display correctly.

The correct settings for MARKET HOURS seem to be:

MB Trader: -6
Forex Meta: +1
FXCM: -1

Why would FXCM be different from the SDX setting to the Market Hours setting?

Without a clear picture on how to accurately set this up, I don't see how we can "consistantly" back test:
Daily Pivots vs. Fibs and
NY Close vs. London Open (or close?) vs. something else

Please, I know this is simple stuff to most of you, but some help here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm setting up my setting now and will start testing tonight, sorry I didn't have chance yesterday to set up everything,

EA seems to work fine on ODL. First trade on EUR/AUS 15m, I closed this myself as I had tp set too high and could not adjust once trade had started. This pair may work ok on this tf during Asian session.

Did you check Manual THV v3.pdf? I think it certainly addresses this issue.

I don't think your MFTrix is set right ... your chart is m15 and MFTrix m30 first two values ... correct me if i'm wrong

Hey Poki,

What is the spread on this pair in ODL?

Edit:-
I see the spread in the Infopanel

day 1 results for AUD/USD. No trades on 5M (weird) a lot of losers on 1M

It would be great to have a document outlining these settings for various broker feeds.

I use alpari, fxdd & mb trading platforms. I leave the settings to EA's default, because I find it tedious to figure out the correct settings.

Now you know you would have made money had you taken the opposite trades!

I have seen EA where you can control the trading window at candle level. Thus you can take trades during first x seconds of the candle or last x seconds of the candle. I like to take trades during last minute of candle on 5m chart.

I'm new to ODL, the spread varies from 3-5 is that normal?
