Hi DX trade,
EA is not working for me. Mine is a 5 digit broker.
Another problem. the smtrix indi you posted is showing blank window for me.
Any ideas?
Thanks

So, I seem to be the only one who cannot make it work? And case closed?
Not working for me either. keep getting trix alerts 3 at a time for the same pair and they are always what appear to be bad entries. Also, not getting any trading.

have it turned off right now
I am concentrating on trading manually. don't need the distraction

I checked it - I also have a blank window when I attach the indicator to the chart! That is probably the reason why EA does not work, isn't it?

Activity is low ( drop in ATR)
By the way, there is a nice way to monitor market activity with ATR. Just put two ATRs on each other, one for shorter period and other for longer, e.g ATR(5) and ATR(20). When shorter ATR is higher it means bigger activity
Or, if you do not want to attach the ATR graph to the chart, just compare the readings.

If you scalping you probably need this

"Stop loss Take profit Manager" Easy to use

Runs like EA and has only 2 fields to set TP and SL

Maybe someone could modify and add Trailing Stop..

Anyways, here it is..

I’ve noticed that EA closes trades before it hits 30 SL i have set under the inputs tab. Is that because it closes trades ones trix crosses 0 in the other direction? Maybe there might be another reason? Any clue would be appreciated.

I set it to run last night.. at least until computer went to sleep, result was 7 trades, 6 losses, 1 win...
Pairs traded were AJ (several times), CH/J, EU (the only winner), EJ

Demo acct only of course

Probably because Trend is up against USD, so almost every
SELL signal is False
I'm banking now only on the LONG side unless I see some changes..

What settings did you use? I think, with Renko charts we do not need double Trix?
The reason why I want to have a working version of the EA is the same - I want to let it run with different settings during my sleep time. Hope, DXTrade can make it work for everybody

Quoting Pipo
Here is a simulator for C4 traders to get your screen time up to speed.
Just install it as per pdf instraction it is really easy.
Re-open your MT4 open the strategy tester the select M5 period, the currency and visual mode then start.
While running...
Great to see that this thread is finally starting to regain it's focus even if it is on an EA.
Pipo thanks very much for posting the simulator, I'd been looking for something like this for a couple of months, and made the wade through the previous 60+ pages of BS very much worth the effort.
Only problem I had wasn't being able to close an already open trade with the script file, but only a minor problem at least I can finally entry trades manual trades into MT4's strategy tester and they now show up under the results tab.
Very Much appreciated.......!
Special thanks also to DXTrade for not jumping ship too soon & for further developing your C4 ea to share with this thread's patrons.
Edge if you decide to close shop here anytime soon please pm me as to where/when you will relocate etc.....
I've learned quite a bit from you & your thread in it's 3 short weeks, which seems like months, but always looking for ways to continually improve my trading skills, whatever the cost.

DXT - for what it is worth I am having the same problem facing Indrek with the EA. I have a 5 digit broker but that does not appear to affect things.

I have done all of the things suggested - ie reloaded the EA, reloaded the indis, put indis in Expert folder, etc but still no action with the EA. Will switch off for now and get on with other things but will keep an eye out for any suggestions you might have that will help.

Thanks for your efforts - bit frustrating I'm sure.

Hi DX,
sorry to be a pain.......
The sm Trix indi seem to work with normal candle charts.
when put in with Renko just a blank window.
Not sure if it makes sense.
thanks

Choppy market in the EU and GU this morning. I put the 21 EMA on my chart and compared it with the 8 and/or 12 LWA. Would be a lot fewer trades, but looks like it keeps you out of the choppy areas most of the time.
Quoting IrishPips
the SM Trix *almost* mirrors a very widely known (secret weapon) of traders.-the 21 EMA

The LWMA [applied price]is good, but if you put EMA 21 [shift 1, close] on your chart and wait for the PA to close *cleanly* -or a fair distance above or below the line relative to your trade position, you're success will be much greater.

Stay put guys... I'm trying to program the EA standalone... without any other indicators needed.
Just give me some time and keep on trading manually...
Will be back as soon as I have something.
Just forget me for a while

Yes this really is a useful additional tool to have...It really minimizes the number of false signaled trades.

I have followed the latest suggestions without success.

I have the EA running since 00:00 CET on my Alpari live account and an Alpari Demo.

One thing I notice is that the information in the top left corner is reporting live the action of a non EA trade. Is this normal?

Good Trades to All
