Swingman, I'm still getting excessive and incorrect alerts on some of the revised indicators you recent put in a zip file. These are the MTF PV, the MTF PV 4 col, and the MTF v1.1.
The older indicator called Ultra super trix PV_v1 gives the proper alerts. It's not in the matching colors to the candles, but I can live with it. For the timne being, I need correct audible alerts to finish some testing I'm doing on the 15 minute time frame.

Chris,

Can you share your UpdatePipsEA?

Thanks in advance,

TimeFreedom
You can find the link to download it at page 78 of this thread...

Anyway i'm in doubt if this strategy needs such an EA...if we begin to go for a few pips (5/6) then an EA that manages the trade becomes useless...
This is my opinion...
Market is like a puzzle, YOU have to fit the pieces!!

Ok what did I do wrong? I replaced all the indicators thae Edge posted in post #1739. Now the smSuper TRIX_MTF_PV_4col.ex4 doesn’t show up, I just get a blank indicator window.
I think you have to wait a few moments for it to "go to work." That happened to me too, earlier this afternoon, but it's all working now. My file size for that indicator is 12828 bytes. =Ed=

NEW Update of all Trix_MTF files:

I've just found that the format of the alerts prices is not correct.

Please replace the files you use.

SM, I just left my work station, for a little break. And when I
return, my computer was screaming some "tremolo" alert, like broken
sonar of a submarine.. 100% CPU usage, so i did killed MT4 process from Task Manager.
I did switch "Alert_Signals" to true only on
top "Trix_PV_4col " to make sure I got alarm on 15m Trix trigger..
What did I do wrong? Should I leave "Alert_Signals" = false?
But I'd like to have alarm since I have 4 pairs running...

Besides EURJPY pair alarming "SELL" while TRIX just generated "BUY" blue ERROR..

Something is wrong , definitely

Please advise, -thank you.

Max99,

It might help to close all charts, move any unused customs indicators to a new folder, not in a new MT4 sub folder. Close MT4, shut down PC, turn power off to PC or unplug & wait at least 60 seconds, turn power back on, and reboot. That should clear the crap in your RAM.
Restart MT4, load new charts, try applying indicator to chart, or download and use someone else's template from the paper-clip. or go back through 100 plus pages this thread has grown to in a week to find one you think you'll like to use.
Sometimes/some reason the templates are better at applying a indi to a chart than I am maybe because it's the .ex4 file extension, not sure why.
Hope this helps......

"turn power off to PC or unplug & wait at least 60 seconds"

Unplug power cord to make sure no viruses can
infect PC, while you sleep ... "Wait 60 seconds?" ha-ha, what for?
You think RAM would work of static electricity? You guys have to manage
to sleep more than 4 hours, definitely

(6,E,E,E,C)
is this correct?

TwoEleven,
My chart below - though I didn't take the trade.
If I had, I could have entered where the first red dotted line crosses the top solid red line and exited for +10 at the lower solid red line.

Even if I had not got out with profit b4 retrace, I should have got out at leaset on the candle marked by cross of second dotted red line and top red line for just the loss of the spread.
Note my Trix and smC4Scalper Candles are set to ema,ema,ema as are Edge's.

Mine did that too. I just shut down the MT4 paltform and started it back up. That cleared it.

Hi Swingman

as I'm working on a Trix EA I would like to know how the parameters to call your super_trix with the iCustom function.
If I put 3,1,1,1,0,0 then it calls one new indictor for every candle and on the visual backtest I have 106 indicator windows after 106 candles.

Any idea?

Sorry to cluster this thread... won't do it again

Edge,
In post 1675 you posted some screen shots of your trades today.
I wanted to ask about a few of the eurusd trades. It seems by your markings that the m15 trix was not in confirmation when the m5 detonator went off. In these cases, it appears you are taking detonation when the m15 trix crosses instead? So from your shots, it appears these can be interchanged (not always m15 is used strictly for confirmation, but sometimes used as your detonator as well, thus causing the m5 to now be confirmation?).
Thanks for your time!

Hi everyone,

In my original post #1497 http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost.php?p=2884503&postcount=1497 I included an EA that helps with money management on trades. I have updated this with new features, including testing for 5 digit brokers, trailing ATR stop loss, and changed an error on BE profit that I noticed on the sell side while trading.

While I know not everyone wants to use an EA for money management, I do find it helpful to use on such a short time frame as M5, as I like to get up every once in a while to not be chained to the pc watching for reversal signals. As I am not a programmer, just a beginner, you will want to test it out on a demo account before using on live trading. Please note that this does not automatically trade the C4 strategy. Place in your experts directory.

Best wishes

I Have removed the updated file because of major coding errors. Everyone who has downloaded please revert to the one in the previous post. Will try to update in another post when I have time.

Best wishes

Thanx Catpreach,
Will give it a try, hope to get some trading hours in tomorrow, during prime time, 8am to 12pm est for me. Sure SwingMan appreciates the help, he is an inspiration I'm thinking of going into programming as a 3rd or is it 4th career, thanks to him. Used to like making math programs on my TI-92, but that has been many moon ago so will go take night classes to refresh, and try reserve mornings for FX.... Do you have any favorite basic or C++ books etc?

I have not learned C++, which is a disadvantage to learning the MT4 language. But I have done some programming on Metastock and Omnitrader. That's the little bit that helps in figuring stuff out. My coding may not be elegant, but it compiles OK. I, too, wish I could code like SwingMan. Maybe he could suggest some books or courses to learn metatrader language.

Best wishes.

Thanks for sharing, I also have been using this MM EA. Nice to get my 5-10 pips, but also enjoy that bonus, with a small lot portion, if the rally continues
