Ok, I may be the only one left that is still struggling with this, but I'm struggling with getting my brain around it.
this timezone topic is something I never get into my head! I am totally with you.
I had everything figured out (after hours and hours of trial and error) with the 0.5version but now the SDX pivot indicator gives me trouble. the output just doesn't look right. my solution: just turn the damn thing off.

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.

The EA does not need any indicators attached to the chart to work properly. It calls the required indicator in the background.

The reason we attach the indicators, is for our reference to analyse these scenarios. That is why we do the indicator settings in both EA and indicators on chart itself, to see what EA actually sees.

Regarding SDX, If you are not clear on the explanation from THV Manaul Trading guide,let me know. Also you can search the THV Trading System thread for pivots. It has quite some useful posts on that topic.

Hello AZbo I did the same as you, I just turned off both the pivot and hour indicator since I am not using them at the moment.Here is what I found but still isn't that clear to me.I am with ibfx and the broker is already at gmt so I used 0 for the setting in hours and the hours open for ny for example was still off by 2 so I put in -2 which is the difference from where I live and where ibfx is and the london session was then off.As to the pivot setting here is what I found

Since I am using IBFX I would think since it is already at gmt and if I want to use ny close for pivots I would use 0,0
Hope this chart helps.

Hi dear cobras,

is it possible backtesting the EA?

1) i have noticed that ichimoku cloud is not drawing right (like it is always red or green without any changes, or very little changes)

2) the news filter - should i download the history from somewhere to use it?

thanks a lot

Hi All,

I'm also not getting many / any trades at the moment as some other have posted.

I was wondering if it is because I created my *.set file on the v5 template and then loaded it into the v6 template.

Tonight I stopped MT4 - deleted the cache in experts folder , restarted MT4 with v6 template. Then went through and manually changed the settings rather than loading the set file. It seems to have made a difference as I am now getting trades.

Might be worth a try if your not getting trades you expect.

Karun,

I still have no trades on my EURJPY M1 and M5, and I just realize the following error in my journal.

2009.06.02 18:05:16'2367490': ping failed

Any idea?

Karun,

Looking at your pic and the following settings for H1.

TrixOverboughtOversold=1
TrixOverboughtLevel=0.00090000
TrixOversoldLevel=-0.00090000

now take a look at your chart and OB and OS leveles... Might need some adjustments to those.

EA trades for 2/6/09 balance = -32.51
Looking at updated chart it appears trades 4&5 should not have been placed, trade 7 was in profit approx +10 before trend reversal.

Karun,

The short entry on June 1st exited with a small lost (lasted 28 minutes) which was a very good thing since it took off to the other direction. However, I don't see the exit signal in the graph.

The short entry on June 2nd was a profitable but exited a bit too early. I'm not sure what settings would allow the EA to capture more profit.

Thanks.

exit on iMax cross and/or slowtrix direction change only should do it...

post your configuration for better solution or take a look at the new manual...

Here is my .Set file... I've been testing and changing settings after work and seeing some positive results in the morning... This is not my final configuration as I know there is much to improve upon. I will post my final set as well sometimes down the road.

Don't forget to change the extension of the file to .set before using it.
