Set ClassicSL=true, StopLossPips=20, TakeProfitPips1=20, BreakEvenPips=20, FastTrixDirection=201, IndicatorsExitPriority=2, PartialClose1=50, PartialClose2=50.
Thanks for your help. It works fine now. I also was setting my pips to 200 instead of 20 because my broker uses 5 digits. Thanks again for your help. I'm looking forward to trading this live.

You can't avoid entries near psych levels, I shall add this option to the next version. Only the presence of a harmonic pattern is taken into account, not the box.

Hi XuX
Couple of question I am struggling to answer myself..
[list=1][*]How can we avoid taking trades around round numbers? 00, 50. I've gota lot of bounces that hit TP around those numbers. Is it MinLevelDistance that we need to spcify to EA or something else?[*]I noticed something about Harmonic Patterns that I'd like to discuss.As I understand the Gartley indicator paints a projection box, where price could go.Its also acts as warning sign that price is around its extreme around the box. At times EA picks up trades in box,where it should...

That would be a great addition XuX...
Just a food for thought for everyone,as I understand based on my limited reading of harmonics, the box is very important area to watch for...you'll see a reversal around it more than 90% of time regardless of TF.

Once again thanks a lot for all you do for us XuX!

Hi,
Thanks for your great job. I apply the template on two pairs, A/U and E/U in MT4. But sometimes they provide the same signals. So is it possible to add the voice of money pair before the "Analyze Buy" so we can hear "AUD/USD Analyze Buy"?

Again, thanks for your previous help. One more question, if you don't mind. Is there a setting where the EA won't take the trade unless the HA bar is in the agreeing colour. I use that a lot when manually trading and it has saved me from quite a few losers. Thanks again.

There is no such setting neither in this EA nor in THV manual system which it is based on.

I have attached the new version. The executable file contains all the necessary files. It should be uncompressed to Metatrader installation folder which should be like C:/Program Files/Alpari.
do I need also to download the thv files ? or the zip file have everything

Delete the THV FFcal indicator before opening the MT4 platform and replace it with the latest version posted here (in the paperclip).

FF changed the direction for the news section and the old one doesn't work anymore.

hope that helps.

Why? coz it is far more accurate than the usual 90% rate..read the doc attached with zip file.

Also there is a short but informative video for guys who are starting out on testing MT4 on youtube..

Hope this helps with backtesting our beloved THV EA!

Where can I get an old metatrader because the new builds doesn't have the Recalculate tickbox in the tester and this one is needed for your own collected ticks. It dissapeared with metatrader build 210.

I actually forgot to update this post. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to run our own tests with current versions for the reason you explained. Its a shame on part of MT4.
It could have reduced the testing time significantly.
I searched for earlier version but no joy. Best bet is to live it up on 90% modelling quality on back-tests and achieve 100% on live testing.

Hello everyone,

The terrific XUX just posted build 208 on forextsd earlier tonight.
If you goto forextsd and do a search "Anyone have MT4 Build 208?"
in the expert advisors metatrader category you will find it.
I can not post the direct link as FF will not allow it.

Regards,
Jeff

Thanks Jeff for tips and definetly thanks to XUX for posting it

Just a tips here for the testing. Maybe you can dedicate people to collect live feeds from different brokers. I am right now collecting live feeds for EURUSD, EURGBP and GBPUSD on IBFX and FXDD due to I have live accounts with them. If there are other people here in the group with different brokers that can be good for THV MTF EA, they can probably also easily load this ticklogger and we will have lots of good live feeds

Hi Andreas
May I suggest testing the scrips out on the data that you are collecting. It can even be on an intraday chart, just to make sure that scripts do work in converting csv to fxt and hst formats. I don't have live account on any MT4 brokers..I guess I can only collect from demo server which I gave up last week, couldn't get the scrips to work. I think reliability of demo server data remains in question.
Its refreshing to see more hands test-driving THV EA.

and thanks to all, Moderator and brilliant members.

As a newcomer to this thread, I read from page 1 to date and read the manual, etc.

I also copied the set file and amendment from xux..... with mixed results on EU,GU,UJ and UC. A bit on the losing side.

My question: are you using v0.8, v0.7 0r any other?

during London early New York session albeit it tends to take only short trades. Might be a setting which I did not understand. Also I think that on 4 or 5 charts it is CPU hungry, slowing down my 1.6 CPU.

But GREAT E.A....

Thanks all. Jan

I swear I have looked high and low, yet this information eludes me - can someone enlighten me as to what Trading Hours in the EA are based on?

Server Time (Alpari, GMT +1)
Local GMT (GMT -5 in my case)
Local GMT plus broker offset (GMT -5 +1 = GMT -4)

Thanks in advance

Hey guys,

I'm back from my vacation, looks like some development took place while I was gone.

I'm going to try the new ffcal and ver.8 EA on two computers and see if we can get some good results.

We should start compiling a list of good set files... or hold a competion to see who can come up with best set file.
