DislikedCan you post a screenshot with candles marked, where you expected EA to take trade and it did not?Ignored
DislikedSure, here is a screenshot ...Orange lines are marked where it must open trade, but i closed MT and reopened and MTF histo must be repainted but i am sure there where at least 3 MTF's in agreement. And the last one-RED vertical line with real time data.Ignored
DislikedI was using a set file and not sure why this was a sell trade and not a buy? The setup to me looks as if it should of been a buy ?

DislikedI do not see anything in this set up that indicates that a trade must be taken when there is a cross of fast and slow trix. It is coded with 0.
You should review the settings listed in the first post , check thoroughly these settings against the MT4 tester and check the results.
Hope that helps.Ignored

Dislikededit: oops, already answered
anyways, an entry based solely on the MTF trix lights might not be the way to go. i don't know the internal functions of the EA but it could be that there has to be at least one of the first settings activated as well.
what I can see by looking at your set file is that the entry signals are only depending on the MTF trix "lights" and the cross of the cloud.
according to karun's post (479) the entry should be:
trix cross
fast trix above/below zero level
OB/OS levels
cross of coral and cloud
plus...Ignored
DislikedI agree that the strategy tester is not the best, but it all that I know that can give us some means of trying different settings.I usually have no problems with backtesting, but I am having a hard time doing backtesting with this ea.It seems to take forever to try just even backtest 1 week.I have tried turning off news filter and screenshot but it still takes forever to do a test.I am not using the every tick method since it would probably take a year to do any backtesting .I do have over 2gb of virtual memory with 1,024.00 mb of total physical...Ignored
DislikedYour computer hardware configuration is much enough for EA . If you do not know the main basic rules how to trade THV you can visit the first page of this thread and there you will find the link to THV manual trading thread. Either way said find what is working for you. There is a big difference between manual trading and EA. Because of there you make your own analyses. Here it is only bot that cannot think, but can do what you tell him.Ignored
DislikedGood point, the reason I was excited when I saw there was a chance of having an ea that would trade the method so that one did not have to be in front of the computer all day but monitor to see how the trades are going.I could be wrong, but there are so many options that are present that enhance the original manual trading such as using the gartley indicator for one.I guess one could turn all switches off and just use those that follow the manual trading method.But since we do have these enhancements, it would be nice to be able to test them, and...Ignored
DislikedHello to All
This was sent to MT4 about the memory usage problem.

Subject: [MT_E and I] RAM - Memory Usage
Two possible flaws in current MT4 Terminal.
1) It appears that MetaTrader 4 Terminal M1 tick data received is stored
in RAM. How fast memory is used is proportional to number of pairs
running . When MT4 is re-started, this memory stored tick data is
written to .hst file and memory usage drops. So, the more pairs that
are...Ignored
Disliked1) create trading window
- so it triggers trades only during certain hours
- it stops trading after x number of consecutive losers or x amount of pip loss. Trading can resume by manual intervention ie re-attaching the EAIgnored
