THV MTF EA beta testing

Here a set for 30M E/U.

It's not completely optimized for V0.7 but you can try to do that.

Only delete the extention .doc and you have a set extention

I'm setting up V7 with a new broker (IBFX), since I'm ditching MBTraders, their MT4 platform is simply horrible.

I downloaded the V7. Zip file into my new broker MT folders and ran it. Only 3 files, the .ex4 file and the 2 replacement indicators.

From what I can tell, this and this alone WILL NOT SET UP YOU FROM SCRATCH!

I had to go to the other MT4 platform and copy the V6 template over, and rename it. The new zip file does NOT come with a TPL file.

Even with the old template file, the MTF bars ARE NOT THERE.

AND, there are no candles OR Heiken Ashi bars.

Question: What files/indicators, etc. have to be manually downloaded and/or brought over for a new, clean installation?

Shouldn't the download from Page 1 of V7.zip have everything needed in the one zip file, and run and EXE to put everything where it belongs?

You can't use your old set files. You will need to manually fill all into the new ones.

Just my first observations.





I had to go to the other

The reason I ask,

The V0.7 zip is an actualization of V0.6, you need to install V0.6 first, overwrite the two indicators and rename the template.

Unfortunately I had a server crash mid-week that the EA was running on. I have repaired it and it is back up and running. GBP/USD 1 hr this past week was -$25 with 1/2 position still open at -$48. GBP/USD 4 hr this past week, 2 trades +$120, 100% winners. I'm upgrading to version 0.7 and will tweak the sets a little. Good luck to all this week.

Here you go...It's same as v0.6V ... I think you may need to recompile the two indicators and delete the old first...

Good job with the back tests Cobra!. I'm going to use your sets to play with.

If you have or feel you have your best set file ... Please post them people.. we may be able to tweak them from a different prospectives...

thanks for grouping the settings xux the way you did... I like them alot now...

It's based on the Trix daily, with other words it trades the daily trend only.

I'm trying to use something similar on 5 and 15M and will later try weekly trend with wider SL and lower pip value.

I tried to use the cloud instead but lost a lot of good trades while the PA is in the daily cloud and don't trade.

But holy, it's so different to trade bot vs. manually.

Thanks Cobra. that was unclear when you guys posted the new file.

Here are the results of MBTraders demo, EUR/USD M5, M15, M30, H1, and H4 last week, again 10K account. Only 3%, but the platform was down A LOT. I do not recommend MT4 trading with MB Traders at this time. But while it was up, it traded well. 3% profit for the week.

Statement & set files attached.

Thanks for the update, Karun didn't like the MB MT4 platform neither.

I want to add: it would be helpful in a next version to have the option:

Don't trade when Trix on D1 (or any other higher TF, userdefined) is overbougt/oversold.

That will help not to take a trade in the very top or buttom of the D1 TF.

Very Good stuff! And many thanks for your good work.

Thanks,

megainvest

very thanks Cobra and team

Please put a basic set file in .7th version for 5M TF the same as .6th version.

Thanks.

Not sure where you got your statistics. I've posted my results AND set files for the past 3 weeks, and I'm getting over 70% positive trades.

Well congratulations and thanks for the testing !

I guess I mentioned months worth of test not 2-3 weeks. Show us 70 percent +ve results for continous 6 months then you have all the rights to be excited.

Try to demo what you would actually do with a practical account i.e. open a 10k account or 1k account when go live, buy 1 full 100k lot or smaller, run the EA on number of currencies or just 1 or whatever, exactly what your plans are.

Also, you are on demo wait till you go live, you might find bit of diffrence :-)


You are too excited too early. I am not demotivating just trying to be practical here and I hope you take it that way as well.

Thanks to all for your contributions.
I am testing also, but have to say that I experience many difficulties in learning the many settings and how they all interact and affect each other. Since backtesting does not function well, I have to use trial and error and wait a sufficient amount of time for results, and when they are negative, start all over again. I hope the new version will backtest better. I will try it this weekend.
Meanwhile I am just using default settings, and and yet the EA already performs well enough with them. Has not blown or drained an account yet. So, my thanks again for the professional, dedicated and thoughtful work of the developers, and for sharing it so freely.
May you all be compensated generously in some way.

Anybody getting no news updates from THV FFCal? I see the news have not been updated since the last news event on Friday last week. Appears that the XML file is not updating for this week at:
http://www.forexfactory.com/ff_calendar_thisweek.xml
If the calendar feature is not working.. then it THV3 will take trades during news as well.. Hopefully we can sort it out soon..

Hi All

Reading through all the discussion over the weekend , my view is that we
need at least another month of testing before considering a live trading version.
Keeping the EA in Test mode should help to maintain Interest & discussion on the Thread.

I posted my most successful set file ( on M15 ) a couple of weeks ago - I may go back to
it as last 2 weeks have been less successful.

Many thanks to all the developers efforts - I am enjoying testing the setups.



Here are my results from week 4 testing:

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

EURCHF 5Min

Summary : 14 Trades , 7 Winners , 7 Losers , Pct Win 50% , P&L -37

At least this is an improvement on previous attempts at EURCHF 5 min.

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

EURCHF 15Min

Summary : 35 Trades , 4 Winners , 31 losers , Pct Win 11% , P&L -1030

Disappointing as I had been getting good results on M15 T/F.

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

EURUSD 15Min

Summary : 36 Trades , 16 Winners , 20 Losers , Pct Win 44% , P&L +127

I seem to have eliminated the large bad trades that spoilt last weeks results. Ended the
week with a small profit here so looks promising.

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

I have a bit more CPU available now so also tested :

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

GBPUSD 15Min

Summary : 21 Trades , 12 Winners , 9 Losers , Pct Win 57% , P&L -203


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

This week looking to tune ATR settings for SL & TP's

B Rgds

WR.

Also a quick question to the developers.

Last week I removed the Gartley indicator as it seemed to be taking a lot of CPU. Would this have any impact on the EA or is it just there for visual reference

B Rgds

WR.

I removed it too. Trades are going on - it seems to me it's possible to erase it from the chart. There's no interaction with other indis. I hope I'm right. Anyway - after removing the Gartley I had furthermore trades.

Any advice here how to switch on the trailing stop in a right manner ? Want to use the ""Classic TrailingStop". I see in the parameters of the EA "TrailingStopPips"/"TrailingStopStartPips"/"TrailingStepPips" and "TrailingStopDisablesExit" - how to use all of them ?

You can delete it from your chart, no problem but you need it in the indicator folder because the EA is calling this indicator.
