Any and all insight would be greatly appreciated...

Hi All

Can xux or somebody from here tell me, why the imax didn't clos the
short trade? the imax setting was "300", so the imax is taken for entry, also for exit, both in the corrent candle.

thanks für answers :-)
what's your CloseIfProfit setting? If it's true it'll only close the trade if it's +ve.

could have been the MFTTrixDot settings. they are setup for an unclosed candle and if the M1 slow, M5 slow and M5 fast were green at that time; bingo.

IMO...In your MTF Trix histo settings you use 2 same TF's(mtf dot2,3 -both m5 slow), when fast trix changes its colour green(just at open of order) though buy order generated.

thanks azbofin,

i changed the setting tu false (it was true).
as you can see, the test says, there were closed 3 parts of the trade,
but the chart shows only 2 and the third is still trading.
i have 33/33/33% partial close, but the third exit of the current trade
didn't work like the text said.

anyone an idea??


tanks a lot.

i could only explain it as a glitch during the backtest.

have a great weekend everybody and try to stay cool while analyzing those charts from the past week

i for myself am completely stressed out. i have to go over those 345 demo accounts with the 1234 demo charts, so i can buy all the demo food and pay my demo cars and demo houses that will satisfy my 5 demo wives. that's why i have this demo rig setup.

Thanks for your input...

I thought the Dot settings were supposed to work in conjunction with the

FastSlowTrixCross=100

and both had to be going the same way...

i'm not sure if this parameter validates only the happening of a cross or if it includes also a test of the direction of the action.
if it's the latter, it would mean that the FastTrixSameDirection and the SlowTrixSameDirection parameters could cancel out the cross if they were set the other way. in this case - what takes priority?

Remaster: just keep in mind that setting CloseIfProfit=false can exit your trades earlier by a false signal that they should (nor not )

Nice demo rig.I hope all have a nice weekend.I am going to try with a 5 digi broker next week and see how it does.I am using FXsol at the moment but I also have Alpari UK demo but never used it on this ea yet.I want to see what happens with hedge on.I guess you need to put a zero after everything or is the ea already setup for 4 and 5 digit brokers?

Hi at all.

i red that somebody wrote, that the entry signals are quite good, only the exits seems to be bad and wipe the profits made befor.

one question:
what indicates, if we are actuall in an up/downtrend to let the trade continue
because the major trend is still in the right direction as the trade?

for example we have a buy in M5 confirmed with a H1 MTF Trix signal in the same direction. closely to our buy, the price went down and we are in loose.
but we let the trade flow, because in H1 the Trix still goes up and we think
the price will go up soon as the "major" H1 trend indicates.

but if the H1 Trix will turn red it seems that everything went against our trade and we have to close it complete and not only particular.

what i want to say is, would it be good if we have the option to close our trade particular ore completly by an indicator in some cases (f.e. trix), not only by atr or s/l?

hope you understand what i mean ;-)

You don't have to add any 0s, ea will do it all on it's own. Only answering as I just recently setup a demo on alpari as well, and had to search for the answer myself. Figured I'd save you the time
I put lsweeneys latest 1hr set on 9 pairs 24 hrs ago. I don't even want to report the results, as they are too insane. I'll be running this one for quite awhile, but making some tweaks to it on another demo to compare.

Thanks Taz.. I will take the 0's out I did do a small backtest with the added zero's.The backtest wasn't too bad with hedge on.Will see how it goes.Is the set file you are talking about the one with martingale turned on? If not, could you please post the one you are talking about?
Thanks again and have a great weekend!

Yeah, its the last one he posted, and turning martingale off was one of the modifications I made to it.
Looks like it may be ready for it's first loss out of 14 trades with usdcad at the moment. Doesn't concern me however, as usdcad has been a real pain for the last 2 days or so.
Have fun with this set, it's extremely impressive.

Thanks Taz.I believe that set is pre v7 since it doesn't have some features that v7 has.Will look it over over the weekend.

I do understand what you are saying and have exactly the same question(s).

Can someone answer our question? What does take priority when there are multiple 'trade open' criteria specified? Experience tells me is that the EA does not wait until all are met.

Thanks

I appreciate your insights...

The bottom line for me was that I did not think an order would be opened since the setting for the Trix cross was on. I have tried a lot of things and probably have more that just the Trix histo settings screwed up. That's what weekends are for right?

This week the flavor is vanilla and next week is chocolate etc. Folks its time to get realistic.. please run some backtest instead of relying on useless 1,2,3 week accidental forward demo results.
If it backtests good run it live!
