how to change stoploss and takeprofit settings??

Mate, I recommend going through the user guide. SL: There are two ways:ATR based and manual. TP: same as SL plus you can define other parameters and their levels for TP.

i installed the EA for EU and GU.is it compatible with GJ too???

It can be used to trade any TF on the pairs offered by your broker.

by default how many pips is SL and TP set to???

Depends on your risk appetite, skills in FX trading and understanding of EA.

Welcome to the group..hope you have some fun here!

[color=Olive]Welcome...

thanks for the reply mate.but i have 1 doubt.i enabled trailing stoploss and set it to 10pips and also trailingstartstop to 5 so that my TSL will increse by 5 every time.and also i set my TP to 10.because i am trading on 15tf.

is it correct to set both TP and TSL to 10?or else shud i leave TP and just put Trailingstoploss of my own.and wat is atr?i dont get it.is it calculated on any %based?

lol I can understand MTF and trix indis but how to find values for the rest of the stuff ? would be nice if somebody who knows how to use the EA would post a little bit more explanation, examples hisher thoughts on different values of settings. I think it would really help to understand EA behavior faster.

No Offence Buddy..I think you need to work hard a bit more on trading concepts. As a start I'd recommed going through first 100 pages of THV manual systems thread. The questions you are asking are very basic in nature and this is not the forum for it. A simple search of FF can give you all you'll ever need.
All the best to you

Precisely for that purpose it MT4 bactesting functionality..you can optimize any parameter and check every single value it takes...any TF and pair. Thats what has gotten me this far..

I have tried that ... for some reason backtests don't work on my pc or work in very weird way. I can backtest only like a month back, even though I downloaded all data from server for all timefraims. In history center on some timefraims it shows me back as far as 2005 bun once you go to 15 min or 5 min it goes back only 1-2 months is this supposed to be in this way ?

Hi all!
I am amazed of the simplicity in the complexity of this ea! Thanks! I'm loving it! And also thanks for the manual on version .9! Helps alot! Anyway - when I tried to print this, it came out als scrambled letters, so I had to repair it. It's attached, in case anyone encounters similar problems. If needed, I'm willing, to repair future versions too. Thanks to the author for the work!

I don't think so, mines working great, I've tried IBFX, ODL and Alpari. No problems so far. Although I don't test it pre Sept 2008 coz thats the time when markets were heavily treding, they become much more complicated after that. Not sure whats wrong in your case, there is a thread on back-testing on FF may be you can refer to that and post your queries there.

Can´t find the precise answer thru search or in manual so I just ask you fellas,

With EA trading on the M5 timeframe:

If I use MTFTrixdot-parameter for entry on closed candle (110) on a row displaying trix from the M15 timeframe, Will it open order on close of M5 candle, or will it wait until the MTFM15-light is closed / definitive on M15? ( My guess is M5 since there is no M15 around but would need to be sure, it´s very hard to find in my backtests)

Thanks in advance and for a great creation!

Hi again,

Just a quick input on a typo in the latest manual.

Under the example setup on page 4 only 3 of the 6 conditions are set in the example properties. They were there in previous versions but seem to have disappeared.

No biggie but just to help out and let you know...

You must download the latest FFCal-indy from this thread from attachments and then replace the one you have in your indy-folder with that.
There were some changes on FF Calendar-page I think that is what is causing it. I had the same error so it solves the problem for sure.

Strategy tester works fine for me with v9.
Try this:
1. Recalculate the ticks for every instance of testing a TF.
2. Also increase the max bar in history and max bar in chart to 999999999, since you're testing M1 you need maximum possible space.
I think #2 sounds like the soution but then how can we do that on a backtest? Only the EA-properties are configurable, not the indy´s used in the backtest. I have the same problems with my backtesting as original poster, It works great some time back but as soon as we get over the max-bars (i suppose!?) the mtf-histo displays but is incorrect.

Is it possible to increase max bars at all in strategy tester? If so please explain how..

Sorry for 4 posts in a row but could really need an answer to this too..

MTF histos don't work very well on backtest. I can't explain the logic here but you can refer to original THV thread and its explained by MissPips who originally coded the indicators. I don't use that many indicators while backtesting. Just S/R, ichimoku, ATR and trix. It pretty much paints the picture I want to see...
MaxBars is just one of the things recommeded by fellow testers. I am not sure it has anything to do with MTF histos at all.

Hi All,

Back from hols and now rerunning backtests on my sets files with v9. So far looks good.

I posted some backtest results and sets files for M15 EURUSD a while ago on this thread. For me thats the best combiation but I will be looking at H1 t/f when I'm happy with my M15 EURUSD set.

Can you post your set file?

I believe it is not the same as for older versions of the EA.
