Hi Sefton, sorry I should have elaborated a bit more. It's just that when I looked at this pair on my ibfx account it did not make it in the ob/os area for a long time now. That's probably why you don't have any trades. I know this because I tried to play with this setting as well.

Hope it helps....

Just curious, I'm still learning. Why would that prevent my trades?
The Trix isn't even reaching that level, and I don't want to buy if it's too high or sell if it's too low anyway.
Isn't that what that setting is for?
Maybe I am unclear on exactly what that setting does.

Just to make a comment. I have been watching as well as forward testing this EA. It is an impressive EA and I give a lot of credit to the developers for putting so much effort into it. However, I am surprised that testers are overlooking the basics. Let me explain. This appears to be a trend following EA. We have a trending day = good behavior, good profits. Sideways day = bad behavior, losses. It is as simple as this. I recommend to add few countertrend functions to this EA so that it can survive the sideways days. Remember, the market is < 10% trend and ~ 90% sideways, especially during Asia time when the EA seems to stutter. Just an observation and I hope the testers will become more aware of this. Ask yourself when it profits: has it been a trending day? When it loses ask: has it been a sideway day? Forget the settings. They will not do much in a sideways day no matter how good they are. Hope this sheds some light and as always I wish you good profits
If it backtests good run it live!

my m5 settings are running superb, takes a couple of trades a day and only one loss in 2 weeks and that is a small lost compared to the gains.

Thank you.
The same. I tryed to delete one by one indicators and it seem to me that problem is in "THV MTF Trixhisto BarV5.0.3.ex4" indicator and in expert. After deleting that from experts/indicators folder I can start the program.
Please, help.

Adrazz,
Mind sharing your set? I have an m5 that just isn't trading anymore, wouldnt mind something to compare with to find out why.
The 1hr on all pairs is doing quite well however.

tazmaan,

Would you mind posting your 1hr settings. Of all the TFs, the one hour performs the worst for me. I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Hi guys
I was just wondering about a scenario regarding indicator based entry.
Just as indicator based exit is only valid once..second time any indicator based exit is hit it is ignored. Is it possible the same can apply to entry as well?

Say for eg if PriceCrossCoral is used as entry and suppose it that has already been hit once previously. Now a new entry comes will EA look for a previous hit of PriceCrossCoral and if found already hit will ignore the present entry even if other rules match??

Hope it dosen't sound complicated.

Following up on previous post EA took two trades on PriceCrossCoral (one still in progress) and EA missed the one I marked. It should have attempted an entry as other rules met and should have attempted two exits as marked by two red lines again according to rules. EA didn't consider this trade.

Hi Adrazz,
Looks like you are trading only the EURUSD instead of many pairs. Would you be kind enough to share your preset file here and the TF you are trading on the EURUSD so that we can test it as well? It seems you had a bit of a struggle until you arrived at your current settings.

Thank you
If it backtests good run it live!

Hi, preset is in the previous post, yes was having a few problems before trying to get it to trade, couple of tweaks and she is performing well, But the big test will be when the market changes, we shall see.

If someone could help me understand...

If I can get the chart to post properly, the exits I have marked are the imax cross and Fast Trix opposite direct. Original order size was .1 lots.

Why didn't 33% close (PARTIAL CLOSE 1) close off of this order?

Simple..indicator based exits are valid only once..straight from the EA user guide under exits

Indicator based exits are valid only once, so as an example if an exit signal of iMaxCross occurs, this triggers a partial exit. If the next exit signal that occurs is MTFIchimokuDot1 which is again indicator based, it is ignored.

Nothing closed!!! There were ZERO indicator based exits on this order - not one.

One or the other indicator should have closed out to the first partial setting unless there is something I am missing...

Sorry I misunderstood..could you please post your set file? If there were zero indicator based exits..then iMaxCross and all the exits based on cloud/trix histos and color change are should not work on this order..only ones left are based purely on S/R and Psychs. Based on that if you have enabled partial exits it should have exited partially at R1.Not sure what is happening.. Again we got to look into your settings.
