Hello Wonderwoman and glad I could help.I am going crazy here myself with two parameters but I guess I will figure them out eventually, although I have read the manuals over and over oh well that is life I guess.
Have a great day!

If you have added Trix Called to your chart in strategy tester, the error should not come. But the journal will have the error entries from the moment strategy tester starts and till you add the chart. You can right click on the journal entries and click clear entries, that will remove all old journal entries from the strategy tester window.
Hi Karun

Sorry to be a pain, I have enclosed a screen shot of my window, it shows the Trix Called indicator and the error in the journal.
Is there anything else I can try?
Cheers

Thanks again for your great works, especially Karun with the EA.
Well, I'm not the coder of the EA. The coder of the EA is Xux99.

When PriceCrossCoral and PriceCrossIchimoku both are false, EA does not seem to take any trades. It looks like either one of the condition has to be true, let me know if any body else noticed this.
I just waited for the hour to close and my H1 chart was all green lights but no trade was taken. My PriceCrossCoral and PriceCrossIchimoku both are false so perhaps that is why the trade was not taken.

My first attempt at using MT4 Strategy Tester. Opened an Alpari demo account, downloaded all their EURUSD data (M1, M5, etc.) Ran THV v6 ea through it using only 1 month of data (just checking, not optimizing).

Ran all night, still not finished. Is this normal, or taking too long? What is normal for running it through, and then optimizing after that? I've poured over the MT4 help and also read on the web about how to do this, and I'm sure I'm doing it right. But it can take DAYS? just to check how it works for the past 30 days?

Guidance appreciated.

The error you see is from strategy tester, when you back test, select visual mode, it will load a chart, add trix indicator to that chart. Then these errors should will not come. Meanwhile, you can right click on journal entries and click clear entries it will remove the old entries.

I think it is taking too long, it also depends on the speed setting, if you are using visual mode.

Could be, I just noticed it when I was testing something else. I'll check with Xux99.

Can you mark the candle, where you think the trade should have been taken?

Here is the point where I thought it should of taken the trade.I also just did a backtest using that set file, and no trades were opened.I was using the setfile that AZbofin posted.Thanks for all the hard work you are putting into the ea.It is a hard job and I appreciate you doing this along with the rest of the team and testers.Hope you can tell where the white line is I guess I should of used yellow or a brighter color.

According to the set file posted, Along with trix, the EA also looks for patterns, since there were no patterns in the last 3 candles, there is no trade. You can try turning off patterns and do a backtest to see if it makes any trades.

That was the case here.I turned off patterns and did a 3month backtest.It took trades. not many,but it did work.I also noticed you just need to have the coral cross on for trades to open.At least in my backtest.As long as coral cross was on, it took trades.My experience with gartleys on the other ea I was testing work better on tf's of 30 and 15.

I guess something wrong with my setting because no trades were taken overnight, I will check the setting after work,

My suggesstion to use patterns on 60M and more is that, it would be more relaible. If Gartley works for you in 15/30, feel free to try and let us know.

The reason we use MTF Indicator on chart is for us to visualize the MTF behaviour and compare with EA activity. EA does not use MTF Indicator, it uses Trix to calculate for MTF values, so the EA should work.
Which indicators does the EA need to be attached to the chart for it to work properly?

Anyways, I replicated that entry from yesterday (Post #559) with the strategy tester. By extending the PreviousBars parameter the EA was able to take the trade.

You are 100% correct gartley are more reliable on 1hr and 4hr tf's.I should of clarified it more.It seemed that more gartley patterns were forming on the 15 and 30 min tf's.

I think we can use open candle for 4H and closed candle for 1H, that way we will not miss a big move in 4H and will not enter early in a 1H.

Let me know what you guys think...
i switched the parameters to "100" now for both TF's (UJ60, UJ240). Let's how it goes this week.
