Karun can I get you to take a look at the following. I might be overlooking something but I can't seem to figure out why this trade was closed.
cyberevil,

It closed because of IMAX Cross.It is one of your exit conditions.

Yesterdays result, not really a trending market, lots of wicks on both ends of candles. Still a small profit. Karun, just wondered if say the cave manager EA was added to the chart as well it could be used to close the trade at diff TP levels?? I was meant to be on holiday from this week but was called back for a few days therefore I am unable to make any adjustments during trading session.

EA does have many of CaveManager settings, since caveman coded both !!!. However it does not have all the settings, I'm not sure how difficult it could be incorporate all those new additions, have to check with xux99.

Has anybody an idea why Tom has been suspended?

He posted only in the THV threads and no infraction can be detected, I thought about PM spam but he hasn't even activated that option.

Thanks for wait Karun and team!
Back to testing..I am going to post results session by session on daily basis.
1. Currently running the default settings as per v6 set file posted by Karun.
2. Two winners in Asian session on 15 min.
3. No trades on 30 min.

I am still going through the thread and catching up fast. A week off has put me a little behind, please bear with me.

Cheers
Kaz

This is my first post - I've been following the THV and EA threads for awhile now, and must say how impressed I am by the amount of work you guys have done - so take a bow! I've read both threads all the way through although I can't say I've understood all of it.

I've been playing with the EA on demo accounts (have only blown one up so far!) and have sometimes been at a loss to understand why it does/doesn't make a trade at times. I was thinking that if it were feasible it would be nice if the EA, prior to making a trade, could "somehow" display a list of set file switches along with whether or not they were in play. For example, If "PriceCrossIchimoku" was true, then it would be nice to see if the Min/Max settings were in play or not. I realise that using the full name of the variables would consume a lot of screen so maybe they could be abbreviated or be given a mnemonic. At the moment I'm making changes to the SET file and then loading it and waiting to see what happens. My problem is that sometimes nothing happens for a long time, and it would be great to know which switches/variables were stopping the trade from happening. I think that it would help to more quickly arrive at useable set files.

This is just a suggestion, not a request or demand - I'm already more than grateful for all the hard work that's been done by so many of you!

p.s. I was also wondering if the EA printout that appears during a trade could remain on the screen after the trade is closed - either for a specified time or maybe until the next trade starts.

Looking on our numerous attempts with posted results here it seems to a main problem is the missing of trades although looking onto the chart it seems that all conditions for a trade are fullfilled ? The parameters in the sets are established right - but no trade ? I used for instance the "dummy" posted by cobra in post 588. This set isn't THV trading but you will have a lot of trades every time. When adding (switch ON) step by step furthermore parameters to come up closer and closer to the set of post 479 (karun) filtering becomes stronger and stronger - and at the end we have no trade at all ? So is there something like interaction in the programming of the EA ? I'm not a coder - so excuse my indefinite comment

Hello everyone,

This might seem stupid but I was wondering if a decent exit strategy might be this:

On a buy order:
exit if price is X pips lower than the bottom of the previous candle or possibly the candle before it.

On a sell order:
exit if price is X pips higher than the top of the previous candle or possibly the candle before it.

Just an idea, not sure if it's a good one or not.

Is there any chance to hide those arrows, as they make chart look horrible, hard to analyze either. As you can see it almost on every candle.
Because of luck of the documentation I dont understand their true purpose.

Since turning off the patterns, my EUR/AUD H4 chart has finally had a couple of trades this week. A loser on Monday (-81 pips) and one that is currently a winner, but hasn't closed yet (currently +100 pips).

I also turned off the patterns on the EUR/AUD H1 chart, but it still hasn't had any trades. I assume the MTFTrixDot settings are making the difference there (110 on the H1 and 100 on the H4).

Thank you for your concerns. I was suspended because one month back I posted a thread where I was asking questions about one particular broker. As a junior member I shoudn't start such thread. I didn't know that rule back then.

Those arrows are from Gartley indicator, I have not check if it has a setting for not showing arrows. If you dont need the indicator, you can remove it from chart.

The reason I suggested patterns on higher tf is that to take the best setups possible. While it might not trade often, the expectation is when it takes a trade , the probability of winners and pips would be high.
However on 1H, patterns also kept us out of many trades, hence we removed patterns on 1H.

I love the screenshot feature of this ea.Also. last night I listened to the video Karun made on th3 manual trading and it was very informative.
I did some more teaking on a 1m tf for EUR/USD and was wondering should I place a tighter sl.

On 1M, a very tight SL will help minimize losses, it will also take you out more often than you want(add all those minimal losses, it will become fairly substantial). So I would have fairly big enough SL to cover a whipsaw on 1M (usually I keep like 30, I know it is high), but the trick with this kind of higher SL is that even one loss can wipe out major of your winnings.

On 1M, we need to find out ways to maximize the profits, I'm thinking about setting higher TP, ignore all exits(so that EA will exit trade either on TP or Trailing SL) and using trailing stops.

Any other ideas?
