THV MTF EA beta testing

I can confirm that dl4hao's settings are opening but not closing a trade. Hope somebody can solve this?

Try to set "PartialClose1" to 100.
That will close 100% of the open position in case of "close signal".

Set CloseIfProfit to false or else it won't close losing trades at an exit signal. Set TradingSession1 to "00002400" to trade all day.

Hello THV Team,

Thank you for your excellent work and efforts on this EA and for all the testing and refining and additions… Is there an updated user manual with explanations on each setting? There seems to be a lot of confusion on how to use the settings and which settings affect other settings and what are the latest indicator versions so the EA will work properly… It would be great if everything were organized and easy to find in one location…

One suggestion would be to combine the settings that effect one another and automatically arrange them so they can’t interfere with one another by using a set of combinations that would allow the user to set up the EA to trade how they would like without having to go over a ton of settings that cancel one another out if not set correctly disabling the EA from trading at all or not trading correctly…

Set the EA up for Scalping on the 1m and 5m charts and have that as an option, or Ranging or Trending depending on the trading style of the trader, does this make sense??? Let the trader choose what trading style they would like to trade and have the EA automatically set itself up with those settings…

There are so many settings in this EA and each one has to be set just right or the EA will not trade properly and that is very frustrating…

Just a suggestion,

TradeHound

I have a problem, whenever i try to test any of the settings that has been provided by the guys here. it updates with the expert back testing, but doesn't work. it doesn't generate any trade. can someone help here please?

Thanks.

I am using THV EA v1.0 and 9.0 and none of them are working.

Thanks cobra and team. this is an amazing project you guys are running...

Mate, all the settings are very well explained in the user manual. Now, it depends how you comprehend the info presented! I don't know why you and others are finding it frustrating to test drive the EA and find the edge? How about posting a few set files and results? Most of the questions that are related to entries,exits and order settings are already discussed in the thread and answers could be found with a little search..
None of the experienced traders here are going to repeat themselves over and again..I repeat..ALL YOU NEED IS RIGHT HERE..just DIG DEEP!

All the best

Kaz

I think for some strategies it would make sense to wait for the 2nd or 3rd signal that if opened would be profitable to open the position.

That could be a way of filtering out the lowvolatility-sideways-smallloss-trades. ;-)

And while I have a hard time understanding, what I ment by the ubove ;-), I try to explain it:
1. SlowTrix gives buysignal
2. EA doesn't open position.
3. Trade if it were opened would have run into profit, and EA checks that
4. EA does steps 1 - 3 a userdefined number of times.
5. If for example 2 signals would have been profitable, open trade on next signal.
6. Trade with no profit breaks the row.

An option to define the minimum pips to be profitable for the check would be great too.

Maybe you could put that in the next version? Thanks for your great work on this super EA! THV rulez!

thx

thx xux99

Can somebody write what set I need to do if I want that THV work only on oversold and owerbought?

Please help me I cannot download the pdf file to activate the ea

hi xux
where can i find set files till now from old versions???? and please recompile v08 because it dosen't extract....
cheers

Cheers Kaz,
Thanks for the reply to my post. All your input, testing and posts with set files and hints and help has been very much appreciated bud... I was just making a suggestion on what might help those trying to test or trade with THV EA that haven't gone back and read the 1800+ posts in this thread or the user manual carefully which I would suggest they do. I have been a long time supporter of the THV trading method since the manual trading days and I have read the user manual and all the threads from the beginning to date...

The versatility and flexibility of the THV EA is just amazing and the ability to customize it for any type of trading is just plain Awesome. Thanks to yourself, Cobra, xux99 and others efforts and skills... Curretly I am only trading the THV method manually so I don't have any set files or EA results to post at this time...



Have a great day,

Hello and thank you very much for that phantastic EA ...

After evaulation my EURUSD trades in H1 timeframe I will make those 4 partial closes like descriped in the manual ...

I will enter the trade with 0.5 lot and take profits at:

PartialClose1 = 40 (percent, when the trade has 30 Pips)
PartialClose2 = 30 (percent, when the trade has 40 Pips)
PartialClose3 = 20 (percent, when the trade has 70 Pips)
10 percent are remaining, that shall be a free run until the indicatorsignal is true (opposite signal)

So, the MoneyManagement-Settings allow such options, but how can I setup what I want because ... there are only:

TakeProfitPips1 = 30 (pips)
TakeProfitPips2 = 40 (pips)

how can I set up TakeProfit for the 70 Pips for PartialClose3? There is no TakeProfit3 ...

may all of you have a nice weekend,
greetings from europe,

DL4HAO (Dietmar)

Only just found the EA after stumbling upon the manual version last night. Will try it out on demo.

Thanks again to the THV team.

coming back to back tests, How do you think will the back test perform faster if I will do just for one week, and then the best settings will test on the longer time frame ? I'm left only with laptop now )

hello All,
Is anyone using this EA successfuly on an account. what timeframe are you using it on and whats the settings.
thanks

^^^ same question. especially I'm asking for a good settings as I'm EA noob and would like to try it out.

hello, I read a lot in this thread and cobra said, that when they find a good
setting for this EA, I would be included in the final (EA V.1 ?) version. so?
can someone verify this?
thanks.

I have been reading the THV3 Multiple Time Frame (MTF) Rules from the THV system, final edition thread. This document describes how to use MTF and is very good reading. My question though is how to apply this for the THV 1.0 EA? This document describes 4+4 TF's on Trix Histogram while this EA only have 4 TF's. How can you accomplish the same entry with only 4 TF's? I guess it's not possible but what combination shall you use to get closest to the one described in the document to run m1 EURUSD for example? My question can become a little bit more general as well....Basically, what MTF combinations are good for different TF's?
