THV MTF EA beta testing

  • Sep 10, 2009 4:11am Sep 10, 2009 4:11am
Hello everyone,

after trading for some weeks successfully with THV V3 I am testing now this excellent working EA ...

Almost everything is clear for me, but I am not 100% sure in 2 things
(see screenshot below)

first:
The relationship of the StopLoss settings.

ClassicSL is well known here
HighLowSL is also ok (with BarsBack)

But when I will use StopLossAtrMultiplier, what else have I set to "true"? Or can I leave ClassicSL "false" and HighLowSL "false" when I will use StopLossAtrMultiplier?

I did not find that information at the manual.

second:
The relationship of the Take-Profit settings for Trailing-Stops

I know the "normal" Training-Stop well, but what is "PSARTrailingStop"?

How does it work?

When I will use this PSARTrailingStop, what else are required settings?

TrailingStopStartPips?
TrailingStepPips?
HighLowSL?
ClassicSL?

Or does that PSARTrailingStop manage all that alone, when will it start, which steps will it use and so on?

What makes more sense, the use of "Classic"-Trailing-Stops, or are the ATR related Trailing-Stops better in M1 timeframes? ... or are those PSAR-Trailing-Stops the ultimate?

Hy akash14,

be sure, that you have the latest THV3 FFCal in your indicator folder

and delete one time all files named "...-FFCal" in the folder /metatrader(your broker)/experts/files

after newstart of mt4 it should work ...

Hi XuX - I don't know if this is possible, but it never hurts to ask. I am trading just the London and US opens - one hour each session. I was wondering if there is any way to take just one trade and then stop trading in each session. I have the fresh trade set to false, since the indicators are often underway before the open, but I don't want to keep on going in. Is it possible to set the number of trades (or perhaps dollars made) for each session. Thanks for your time.

StopLossAtrMultiplier defines how big the stop loss is. ClassicSL or HighLowSL define the level that the stop loss starts, StopLossAtrMultiplier is added to that level.

I did not find that information at the manual.

PSARTrailingStop does not need any other step settings. The stop loss is calculated by the PSAR indicator value.

What makes more sense, the use of "Classic"-Trailing-Stops, or are the ATR related Trailing-Stops better in M1 timeframes? ... or are those PSAR-Trailing-Stops the ultimate?

Classic Trailing Stop is the method, ATR trailing stop just defines how big the distance of price move should be to trigger a classic trailing stop move. Only backtests and forward tests can show which is the best for a given pair and timeframe.

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.

Hi,

Could someone tell me what the red arrow I have marked with a blue ring on my attachment means. It is not from the gartley-indy and I though the divergence-arrows only showed up on the trix. What are the conditions when this particular arrow shows? It seem to be very precise in its prediction...

Thanks in advance and for the great work!

hi xux99 and thanks again for such an great ea.
But i miss an option, that possible can make the ea more effectiv.

for example, my entry signal occours if slow & fast trix same direction,
price over ichimoku.

then i can set up to 4 partial closes, what is very fine and on every stage with S/R, TP, Pivot etc... one of this partitions are closed. thats a fantastic way. but if my fast or slow trix change direction or color then
i want to close the complete order, it doesen't matter how many
partitions are left to close...

with the actual possibilities in the ea it isn't possible to do that.
an opposite signal by trix would only close the next partition.
do you get what i mean. is it possible to include this function to
close all remaining orders (like an opposite signal whould do)
in an specified case?

and if possible, 2 more take profit stages would be great ( 4 at all )

thank you very much xux99 and all other testers here ;-)

sunny greetings!

Hi again,

I noticed in previous posts that the trading-hours set in EA properties is based on server time. Please see my attached screenshot for a possible bug since it is displaying we are inside market hours even though server time is not as can be seen. It is also not only a labeling-error because it opened a trade on another pair at 19:02 when it was set and displaying to end at 19:00. I have also restarted Metatrader and disabled/enabled EA´s.

I was thinking maybe I have to manually adjust to/from gmt but found the post stated above saying what it does.

Thanks again for this super-thing, I have been lurking the THV-threads for almost a year now and finally I am starting to come to a point where this EA is the best thing that could come in my hands. I still haven´t found a way for back-testing (at least on lower tf´s) if using mtf´s but thats no biggie because I can feel the power within

A winning trade is also seen on my screenshot for those who like that

In the ea there is a condition called max pips from ichimoku which you can use.

I think it would be immensely useful if the same thing was replicated for the thvcoral. So if price was over say 15 pips above the coral, the ea would not open a long trade.

The ichi follows price too closely so you can't really use it for that purpose, however thv'er would know that if price has moved too far from the coral, it will either consolidate till the coral has caught up, or reverse.

thanks again for a great piece of work.

Regards
Pardy
Hi xux, unfortunately no-one responded to this I think since the program already exists to do this on the cloud, it would be but a simple matter to include the same functionality for the coral.

At the moment there is nothing to stop the ea keep on taking trades which means that you will get unnecessary trades at price tops or bottoms which in manual trading you would have avoided, simply looking at price and distance to coral (rubber band effect).

unless there is another way of doing this, can I request that this be added to make this great ea even more effective.

regards

Thanks xux99 ;-)

If i can make a which, please add 2 more TP Stages, 4 Stages all together
to close up to 4 partitions while there is no S/R or thomething else in the near of the price.

Thank you great man !

sunny greetings ;-)
