my set files for EU on V06 were trading pretty good with FXCM.
Dutch,

Thank you for your interest in FXCM. Per recent NFA regulation changes, MT4 will no longer be available for FXCM US. However MT4 is available for those wishing to open an account with our UK office. You can find more information at the link listed below.
Does that kill MT4 based EA trading? Is it just US or there are chances that other brokers outside US are going to follow? Not so sure myself..I am going to investigate further about this regulation changes. Damn we are working pretty hard on this EA...

I think it just kills the MT4 platform in the US, since MetaTrader hasn't been able (YET) to make MT4 trading conform to the new rules.

FXCM has offered me an account with FXCM UK, using the MT4 platform and says it should trade just fine.

More government interference in something they know nothing about, way too late, and designed to only hurt those who can't complain.

can we keep V6 alive past today to continue to compare it's results with v7? I really had to kill a EA that is working to start over with one that we don't have good perimeters for yet, and it would be a good comparison of how the 2 trade.

Just my 1.5 cents.

FXCM back up & running, NEW account, so all reports will be from this afternoon, starting with a fresh $10,000 account. This account is running V06 until that dies. I'm running V07 on IBFX. EUR/USD only M5, M15, M30, H1 & H4. M1 is simply too random for me under any circumstances.

good point, indeed. i'm having troubles too getting the settings converted the way they should be. having both versions side-by-side would be really helpful.


@letizia. i had exactly the same happening. i shut down the platform because i had to move some additional indicators and restart. afterwards the trade was closed for no apparent reason.

Hello fellow family of testers and great cobrateam developers a little background information.I picked Letizia as the user name when I first ran across FF in honor of my mother who passed away.Her first name was Letizia.My name is Vince.I guess I could start all over with a new user name, but it would mean having to start from beginning.
The setfile I am using is the 1 min one posted by cobraforex.At first I thought it might be the platform since fxsol just started the MT4 platform, so I tried with a new install both on fxsol and ibfx with the same results on both.
Not sure what the problem is.
Also I was doing some more reading regarding Karun’s post about tf and trending markets.I am not a seasoned trader or programmer, but the information in the article regarding adx as a trend indicator seems to be one way to do it.
Have a great day!
Vince

Here is the set file I am using on both foxsol and ibfx with same problem of closing trade if platform is turned off and back on.
Also AZBOfin what did you do to resolve the problem?
Thanks in advance
Vince!

Since then I had only a couple of more trades. Unfortunately I wasn't in front of the monkey-box to turn it off while the trade was still open, hence I couldn't replicate the whole thing.

Oh boy! During the whole day, whenever the EA opened a position (long or short) I closed the platform and restarted it. Every time the position got closed.

Any timeframe, any currency. I tried on IBFX and FXDD. It didn't matter if the trade was in + or - pips. Must be happening during the Init() function of the EA I guess.

... and you thought you had a relaxing weekend coming up, didn't you

BTW: so far, v0.6 and v0.7 are in synch for the TF's I am testing (didn't have that many trades though).


Happy 4th of July for you U.S boys & gals

Good afternoon all! (I'm from Russia, so I'm sorry for grammatical mistakes!) The EA in the journal during the testing gives out following error:

2009.07.05 14:43:502009.06.05 00:24 THV3 Trix called GBPUSD,M1: unknown subwindow number 1 for ObjectCreate function

In what a problem? Please, help to solve it. And still a question: Is there already version THV V3 EA which can be put on the real account? Probably I have passed. Thanks

.... may be you have to update your MT4 ?


Anyway - you may find always the actual versions of the EA (and all around THV EA trading) on the first post in this thread - and no there is so far no EA for a real account - and it wont be soon - a lot of work is here left to optimize EA trading for THV !

Guys please find the results in attachment.

Some Observations:

1. Results are based on v7. starting 29th June. 30th June was no trading day as well as 3rd July as internet was down. Need to change my ISP I think!

2. Only 1 negative trade for d week,one I want to discuss.Its #28379403. I've set up DailyPivotDistance=15 and it should not have opened the trade. It did and DP rejected it! Not sure why it happened? Any thoughts XuX?

3. Missed a big wave on 1st July on M30 as FastSlowTrixCross was active. Fast trix never crossed Slow one and we missed a big wave. Sometimes it happens but I think I am going to keep it active as it really helps when PA is flat.

4. M15 Closed a little too early on S1 after entry on #28325305 it could have given 50 pips more. I am going to work on it. Also on same ticket EA missed an entry above DP around .1610 which could have given at least 15 pips. Not sure why this was the case?

I am getting increasingly confident with each passing week with this EA. Overall around 130 pips for 3 days of trading on M15 and M30.

Any thoughts are welcome.
Cheers
Kaz

Kaizasoze what is your SL based on in 15min .set file? In backtesting of your 15min settings I got big hit (200+ pips).

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 extension .doc and you have a set extention
Its interesting that I ran the same TF with your set file and got different results. No losses, but a little bit less profit. Its probably the broker feed that differs.

I am surprized by this..200+ hit!! my SL is 1.5(20)ATR ie 1.5 is multiplier using 20 period ATR. I am not using fixed SL. I don't backtest it either, I think testing for this EA works best in live environment.

That explains it. I somehow lost 1.5 ATRmultiplier in SL, for some reason it was set to 0. Thanks
