THV MTF EA beta testing

Thanks xux, that means that we can use it as a DisaterSL, right?

As long as it doesn't get hit, it doesn't affect the other (hidden) SL options if I understand well.

it didn't close at the various imax crosses because you have CLOSEIFPROFIT=TRUE and that means that a trade only will be closed if it is in profit. because your trade is in a loosing stage the exit signals are not triggered except if it hits the SL.

This one has me stumped... ( also don't know why it won't include the screen shot - trust me, PA did cross the iMAX...)

Can anyone help me figure out why this order did not take the first partial close when it crossed back over the iMAX?

T...

weird, still no trades and the set file looks ok. Any ideas ?

P.S. no errors or warnings in journal ...

Well, we had nice trend today, but this EA got killed by it. It made 150 pips profit in the last 3-4 days and it lost all today by opening short positions.

So logicaly, it`s good for ranging days and bad for trend days, at least with defoult settings.

Indeed you are right Cobra... I just think about my account to see growing and do not want to loose already gained for day..

I do not trade bigger TF's, it is just for M1 & M5

Guys

I have attached 3 pics below, I have update my setting on the "white" line and after that time, there should be 3 pairs that EA should open trade but only 1 pair did. Can someone tell me what did I do wrong on setting? (set file also include)

Thanks a lot.

Yes, it has an emergency stop loss role and doesn't affect the hidden stop loss.

I've set a time limit, the complete London session (trading E/U), that's what I'm trading manually so I still can observe what the bot does.

Upps, 3000 posts, a lot of stuff was written.

Be careful of MBTraders and their MT4 platform. It was down almost all day today. Amazingly (never happens when I'm trading live), EUR/USD climbed 200 pips and THV EA had me in a long position, so all is good.

But it could have gone the other way just as badly. No way to stop loss or anything. The techs at MBT didn't seem to really give a Sh*t either.

The really scary part of EA trading. If the platform or connection dies, you can blow up an account or put a serious dent into it.

Like they used to say on Hill Street Blues, "Let's Be Careful Out There".

Congrats ! I have noticed that you started "cheating" lately by posting more in other non THV related threads !

Please come back. And when you do, can you post the EA set file you use for live trading ?

I need a little distance to the THV thread otherwise I will get a THV nerd:nerd:.

Too early to post the sets, I use more entry signals and try to figure out how to tell the EA to TP (I do that manually if the EA doesn't TP where I think he should) making notes every trade.

I use 1M 5M and 30M TFs.

On the long run I think we need to integrate historical S&R levels as parametrs for entry and exit like level trading 1-2-3 etc.

Hi All

Here are my results from week 3 testing:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

EURCHF 5Min

Summary : no trades this week.

Will try Adrazz m5 sets file next week ....

----------------------------------------------------------------------

EURCHF 15Min

Summary : 26 Trades , 9 Winners , 17 losers , Pct Win 35% , P&L -428

I tried turning CloseifProfit = True but I think that was a bad move.
One large losing trade caused most of the damage.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

EURUSD 15Min

Summary : 50 Trades , 28 Winners , 22 Losers , Pct Win 56% , P&L -786

Same as above, one very large bad trade.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This week using ATR's for the first time to set Stop losses and prevent trades
opening during big price movements.

WR.

All-

I see a lot of action going on the thread. As Cobra stated due to my move I'll be posting very less(which you might have already noticed) for few weeks from now, However I keep reading the thread and try be current on the happenings here. It is a big move for me (back to home country) and it will take a while for me to settle down. I see Cobra and Xux are pitching in often and keeping the momentum of the thread, thanks to both of them. Meanwhile I also noticed that the excel sheet on the first page is no more current, since I do not all of them are doing testing, I'll update it when I get a chance.

Thanks to all who keep testing and keep it going.

Thanks

I am also around reading this thread. I decided to try some agressive settings on the EA last week and it did not perform to my satisfaction. I got big winners ie. 100+ pips but at the same time I was getting big losers which defeats the point.

I am going back to my origian settings and trying to tweak the settings which were giving me much better profits

Hi Guys
Please find the results attached with last two weeks testing. I am not including today's results, it looks like a slow day and I am off to complete some family commitments, so no trading day for me.

Observations:

1. Based on the rules, EA is missing out on big moves, I am not sure why? I've made the rules flexible enough to capture them but seems like I am missing something. Please let me know if you guys find something wrong with entries.

2. The BreakEvenPips and LockPips functions are working great. EA does lock 5 pips once the price is at 12. Many a times in this choppy market price has reversed from 12 and you can see a lot of trades closed at 5 pips.

3. I am going to cut the ATR based SL from 2.0 to 1.5 for next week as I've seen its too much once there is a spike, it just kills the past profits.

4. I am using SRDistance =5 and I think this might be preventing taking trades when price is especially around mid-pivot areas. I think function is great but it looks like it is preventing entries based on the rules. Hopefully in next version we can have a choice to switch them off for these higher TF's.

Overall the profit around 118 pips for last two weeks. Two big losses are due to large ATR based SL. Multiplier was 3.

Any comments/suggestions are welcome to improve the profitability.
Screenshots, set files and statement are included in the zip file.

Have a great weekend
Cheers
Kaz

A very good observation, the midpivots for higher TF's than 5M are blocking many trades, we should add an option to switch them off, thanks.

BTW: I took Mrs Cobra out for dinner, didn't like the PA during the NY session and Asia couldn't give me any clue neither. I guess that I will close the trading room if not happens anything soon.

Hi EA folks

here we have the new version of the THV EA.

I want to say once more thanks to xux99 for his inconditional and professional help on this project, xux you're just great and you deserve much more than we ever can give back.

Here the news which xux wrote in our developement forum:

New features of this version:
All indicators based entries and exits can be based on closed or unclosed candle.
SRDistance: It doesn't include the daily pivot.
DailyPivotDistance: No orders are opened if distance from the daily pivot is less than the defined pips.
PriceTouchSRLevel: The number of SR levels that can trigger an exit.
PriceTouchDailyPivot: Exit if price touches daily pivot.
DailyPivotTouchPips: Exit if price is close to daily pivot for the defined pips at least. PriceTouchDailyPivot should be true.
MidPivots: Mid pivots are taken into account for entries and exits.
PriceTouchPsychLevel: The number of psych levels that can trigger an exit.
IndicatorsExitPriority: An indicator based exit is valid for the defined or greater exit stage.
LevelsExitPriority: A SR, daily pivot or psych levels based exit is valid for the defined or greater exit stage.
TrailingStopDisablesExits: Once trailing stop becomes valid all other exit options are disabled and the order can be closed by stop loss or take profit only.
FreshSignal: A signal is valid only if there was not an entry signal at its previous bar. If only closed candle based MTF entries are used it should be false.
LongOrder: Arrow colour of long orders.
ShortOrder: Arrow colour of short orders.
There are two take profit levels.
There are four exit stages.
Trix called indicator has an EA_mode option for faster backtests.
Arrows removed from Gartley indicator.
These two indicators should replace the old versions.

This new V0.7 version came just out of the bakery and is still hot, I didn't try it yet but will set it up today.

Please rename your template file to the new versions name.

Don't forget to paste (overwrite) the gartley and Trix called indi in your expert/indicator folder.

My indicators (not the EA) are open source now, that means that I post the mq4 files (The gartley isn't made or modified by the Team) and you can do with them whatever you think it's good for you, less selling them please.

Also would be nice if you can leave a credit to the THV Team, thanks fo that.

Hi Karun, when you're back in town please update the first page with the new version, thanks
