and then when i added the smSuper Trix MTF it worked. i don't why, it's really weird..

Hi Ian

Very kind of you, but I am going to sidestep the whole divergence issue altogether by taking the Kalman filter approach. It is much cleaner to code and should (I hope!!) be less prone to errors.

Anne
Anne,
In that case take a look at the Digital Signals thread on the tsd forum. From my (unspecialied) reading of the remarks about Kalman, it doesn't work so good for Market noise. But they do have some good stuff over there.

ozziedave,
Yes that what I was wonder is how would it look stacked (step down) on top of the 15 min to 1hr trix. Don't remember it Swingman posted a setting for 1 min trix or not will look back at his post & see.
Thanks...
You would have to put it on a 1Min Chart

Hi All,

A mechanical system like this was crying out for an EA to test it, and as Codebreaker suspected, I have been working on one. I got the basic thing working late last night and put it to work on the GU H1 ordinary candles and the 5-pip Renko first thing this morning.

Results are interesting. The EA obviously has no "gut feeling" and trades purely mechanically, which is a great way to test the raw system as laid down. It is almost impossible to do this manually as human emotions will influence even the hardest of hearts.

Backtesting...
Anne,
What if you could "teach" the EA to go with trend only? I mean checking the Trix at higher TFs what many of us already do in our manual trading. It should help.
I truly believe that a well built EA can give better results with a mechanical system than any human being. Only the fact that it does not have any doubts, should mean sth.
Waiting very much for the first public version of the EA!

Not sure I understand what you are requesting from me Swingman.
You want some version if trix from me?

Attached is a chart where I see perhaps using TRIX peaks and valleys as PRIMER and HULL as TRigger.

Looks like we get more pips from each trend.
Hi Irathi,
This certainly looks promising, but as Edge says, we really need a lot of data to 'prove' an indicator or setup.

Tried this and it still did not fix the problem. Do I need to be changing something in the "inputs" tab or something? This is the only indicator I've ever had problems with. I don't know why it's not working.

That might be OK, but depending upon how the higher TF is coded it might not work in MT4 Strategy Tester. And Strat tester is the fastest way to 'prove' an EA or a strategy.

The 'problem' I found is that you can't refer to a different TF when in Strategy Tester - it returns only values from the TF you are actually running - which I found to be a real pain to code around.

Of course if the indi is not coded so strictly (i.e. just increasing the Period to compensate for the TF) then it will work fine.

If it is impossible to code the EA this way then there is also a good solution! We can set it manually to take only short or long trades if we ourselves have the idea about what trend is there. Can't we?

Yeah, I changed it to 15 and still nothing. Yes, I'm frustrated because this is the only indicator giving me a problem. My solution is just to open a 15min chart for each pair and put smTrix on there so I can see what the trend is on the higher timeframes.

I am going to head to sleep now as I drained my energy trying to figure out this problem and to be honest, not being able to fix it has pissed me off, so rather than not be in the right mindstate to trade, I will call it a night and try and catch some explosions in the morning.

Thanks for you help and to everyone else who has tried to help me. I really appreciate it.

Hi DXTrade,
Is your coral a MA ? Appologies if youve already posted it...after 60 pages...its a lot to re- go over...
regards,
D.
It is not MY Coral but an indi from the THV thread, coded by cobraforex.
And yes, it is based on MA.
But you can use a 60 LWMA and put it on your chart. One of the best S/R MA's for small timeframes.
Put it on your chart and see how PA is testing it over and over again and once crossed then testing it from the other side.

Take care...

ok peeps here's another attempt to contribute to the thread. i have been feeling like the 14 LWMA is giving me too many false signals. so i have tried using the 144 LWMA which is a fibo number in conjunction with an indicator called iZeroAlpha which measures slope.

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

BUY:

-iZeroAlpha is indicating long

-Trix is indicating long

-bullish candle of 3-5 pips

-iZeroAlpha MUST BE INDICATING LONG TRADE BEFORE THE FIRST TRIX SIGNAL BAR APPEARS CONFIRMING LONG TRADE.

SELL:

-opposite signal


------------------------------
the strength of this method is in filtering bad trades and staying in good trades a little longer. also risk to reward is improved.

i would like to do more backtesting but my smTRIX indicator stops working when i go back more than a couple days.

i really hope this helps.

let's see how it goes.

Edge and all...

Nice system, thanks for all your help!

Question? Which trix is the one we should be using?

1). sm Trix (3,0) or
2). true smtrix (3,0)

They are kinda the same but just a bit different!

Thanks

Yes, that is one solution.
I didn't say it was impossible, just that you need the code of the indicator to re-write it so that it will work in the backtest scenario.

It will work fine for forward trading, just not in Strategy Tester. This is a big deal for me, because all i use EA's for (at present) is doing backtesting in the MT4 Strategy Tester.

Use which you prefer.
smTrix is the standard MT4 Trix - which is an EMA of an SMA of an SMA.
This version has no other alternatives.

truesmtrix is an MT4 version of the published Trix formula , which is an EMA of and EMA of an EMA. This also has no alternative settings. The advantage of the E of E of E is it is faster, -the disadvantage is more bad signals.

The ultraSuprsmTrix gives you the full choice of settings - use 2,2,1 for standard MT4 mode and use 1,1,1 for the true Trix, but you can set it to whatever method of MA you widsh for each of the 3 MAs.
Confusingly, the .exe has been called SupersmTrix. I think there are both single and multi TimeFrame versions.
