All-

As pointed out by some body on the previous posts, I *think* many of you are running EA 24/5, instead try to run the EA only during the testing pairs related time zone.

For eg, I would run EA on E/J from Tokyo open or little after tokyo open till end london session. Same with E/U, London open till NY close or better NY lunch or so, that way we will in the market when there is most liquidity for that pair. For AUD/JPY, the asian session and may be london and so on...

Hope it helps

Very good recommendation. On the next version do you think a broker GMT adjustment can be added? It makes it easier to leave the start/end times as they are set and just set the GMT setting of the particular broker.
Thank you for all of your great work and effort that you are putting into this EA.
If it backtests good run it live!

Probably, breakeven was activated, then price retraced and the order closed at lockpips level. You can't use both pips and atr based breakeven, in this case the EA automatically disables the pip based one. It is a good idea to activate the screenshots as they show the exit cause.

Thank XUX99, I was thinking the same thing. Too much tinkering around. I made the changes and see if I ever get a similar trade...

Hello comrads, I would like to ask for your help with figuring out why my exit strategy doesn't work. I'm running my own settings on separate terminal please refer to attached files, the idea is to close trades at any opposite signal from THVMFTrix or THVTrix and everything is done on closed candle. On the screen shot the exit point is marked with red line. I know that I didn't get a proper value in some setting but I just went over manual and still couldn't figure out , any suggestions ?

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.
My last observation proved wrong. PriceCrossCoral is working great and filtering out plenty of noise and choppyness like it was today in asian session.

ok we traded today, nice profit
adrazz,
If you don't mind I'd like to ask you what was the problem with the EA not trading at Alpari since I am encountering the same issue. I have basically the identical setup that I have on 2 other demo accounts at IBFX and FXDD (where trading is ok) on Alpari but no trades at all for 3 days since I set it up. Can you or someone else shed some light? Alpari is 3/5 decimals instead of 2/4.. Thank you.
If it backtests good run it live!

to me it looks like that at the time of the signal PA was above the entry and in negative territory. because you have set CloseIfProfit=true the order didn't close - only trades in profit are closed.

Just to make a comment....


Just want to comment on this statement. I`ve been testing this EA for fun for the last couple of days, which were NOT trending days, quite oposite acutaly and this EA has yet to make one single loss. I`m quite impressed, didn`t change any setting just put it on 5m EUR chart and thats it. It has also helped me see some things, which were not on my agenda earlier. And i`m only using it during London session, and i think this has had much affect on the performance.

Oh and i`m looking forward seeing what this baby can do in actual trend days.

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.

You have trading time of 8 to 21. Is that specific to your demo broker?

Also noticed that you have trix MTF for 15F twice.

Thanks for the setup file.

@judokamak - fxspeedster has a quit other problem here descibed !

@fxspeedster ! YES I have similar problems with Alpari Demo (UK) too ! Very strange things are going on - using the same set with the SAME EA 06 for two different accounts I get absolutly different results ?????? That's unbelievable. I'm in doubt: can't use anymore Alpari ? I think it is a broker we can trust ?

So I can even post the f....g results.

Forexhog,

Last week the Demo MBT MT4 plarform froze for a full 6 hours beginning in London session, yesterday night no transactions between 10.30PM to 2.15AM. This to add to the more frequent but shorter "no connection". I like MBT very much but for the purpose of this testing, you need to have another instance of MT4 and not relying on the demo MBT MT4 only.

When asked to the support at MT4, the answer was "we are looking into it". NO doubt they are working on it and will ultimately work, but for the time being, I do not believe testing...
I am also having bigtime problems testing any EA on MBT's MT4 platform. Most of the time, it does not trigger any trades which I see are triggered by the same EA on other broker's MT4 platform. Besides, MBT's MT4 platform is a bigtime RAM/CPU hog - it takes upto 10 times more memory/cpu than other broker's MT4 platform running same charts and EA. My computer comes to a screeching halt when I use MBT's MT4. I have a live account with MBT and I need to test my EA to be profitable on its platform, but so far, it has been a one frustrating experience . MBT has been at it for months now, and I wonder how long it takes to get it working when every bucketshop have no problem making it work.

Suggest you go back and read Karun's replies about MBT and other ecn brokers.

Try Alpari-US as their demo's never expire either. This ea is working just fine for me on that broker.

When you trade AUD/JPY set it to trade during their trading session, same for EUR/USD in the London session.

That are usually the times that those currencies are trending.

That is also the reason why I trade the EUR/USD manually ONLY in the London session

When you trade outside these sessions you might experience spikes and choppyness driven by other currencies and news.
