Cant understand the attached pictures and set files. Although the price move for the E/U and A/U are nearly the same and it seems the the indis conditions are fulfilled - only a trade is opened for E/U not for A/U ? The set files for both pairs are nearly the same. Spread allowed for trade opening in the set files are higher than the usual spreads of the broker (Alpari UK). For example: A/U 10 pips.
Any thoughts ? Any proposals for improvment of these long term set files ?

Its hard to see in the picture if you are close to a support or resistant level or if the pivot distance is more than 10 for AUDUSD. Those parameters can be of importance if a trade should be taken or not.

Set ScreenShots option to true and forward test the EA. MTF indicators repaint and don't show correct dot colours during backtests or after a few bars.

The AUDUSD trade was not taken because of a negative harmonic pattern within the past 15 bars and then we entered in an overbought area.

screenshot not working correctly i think, in files folder a have xml file from FFCal only, any screenshots, You wrote that trix histo repaints during the backtests, but i have set MTFTrixDot = 110, so entry if candle is closed, so if candle is closed trix histo not repaint back right?

Screenshots may not work in a Metatrader platform of an ECN broker, try it on Alpari. The problem is that Trix MTF indicator does not show correct dot colours during backtest, it is not a problem of repainting. If you use closed candles based MTF trix options and you don't restart Metatrader then it does not repaint. The EA does not use this indicator, it calls trix directly.

Hi Xux - yes I read your answer- post 1947 - but cant understand this: For A/U as I see there is no harmonic pattern - no postive, no negative ? Cant see for A/U a negative harmonic pattern ? Only for the E/U we see postive harmonic - and yes the trade was entered ! That was well done - but A/U ? And yes sometime the price was perhaps nearly S and R lines but sometimes it was far enough from these lines - conditions have been fullfilled for entering trade ?

There was a harmonic pattern favoring short, the "H" symbol is shown only when a pattern triggers a trade not when it prevents it. Look at the lines of Gartley.

ok thanks !

Had some good trades this week using the set file in post 1941 - like it as an attempt for long term trading. So could it be better using it without gartley ? Have you any proposals for optimization of such a long term set in post 1941 ?

hi i m testing thv ea, i have set every indicators like trix, ichimoku ..etc at 000 value but positions are still opened, i have question, if all indicators have 000 value, what is basic to open positions?
  • #1,953
  • Oct 11, 2009 10:56am Oct 11, 2009 10:56am
ALL are "000" ? What signal trigger you can use by this settings ? So this is a bit strange for me ... try at least setting of only one/two indis to "100" or so ... to start some kind of trade entries ... after that go forward adding more filtering indis, pattern etc. ... if you like

Just my 2 cent

Hello THV MTF EA beta testers,

Wondering if there might be any interest in helping forward testing this ea on renko charts. Find the very best pairs, settings, brick sizes, combinations etc for it.
If so please find the link to my thread under my profile.
Was working on a fractal zig zag ea for renko charts, but coder is busy with other things right now, so this might give us something else to work on in the mean while.
My special thanks to Cobra, & the THV team for working on this ea.

Hy Uzin2,

the question is not "why are positions still open" but "are there still new entrys opening again and again"?

Have a nice day,

Hi everybody,
for several days I've benn developing and testing a lot of config (based on trix, ichimoku, used classic SL,ATR etc. - unfortunately without any positive result (maybe I'm a looser )
I have some questions:
1. Is Strategy Tester (included in MT4) reliable? If not - what suggestion do you have?
2.Could anybody check my line of config (entry based of trix crossed, exit when fast trix changing colour) because it doesn't work:
FastSlowTrixCross=100
fastTrixdirection=201

PS
It doesn't work in StrategyTester

regards
Robert

Hello RobertFx,
What kind of modeling quality are you seeing after you've ran the test?
Do you hit f2 & download all the chart history before starting to test that pair then try downloading again, & hit recalculate?
& Have you tried re running the test in visual mode?
Demo forward test is always way better than back-testing,
& of course live micro lot testing would be the next step.
Back-testing is just a lot quicker and really just usually gives you some idea of where you settings might ought to start out at, before you start forward testing an ea. Not something you can bet the life of your live account on in the least bit. Personally I have just starting looking into this ea, so don't have any demo or forward test experience with it yet. Just trying to pass on a little what I've learned from other EAs, so probably others can provide you with more info on this particular one. Have you tried some of the set files others already posted for this ea? Think that's where I'd start, take advantage of others experience & experiments, 1st place I'd start, it might save you a lot of time & headaches.

Hi,
I've tried this ea for several days now with some succes in backtesting.
I tried too in demo mode but I've seen the behaviour is completely different. I do not modify anything on open or exit rules except trailing stop, stop less..
Very often, trades are opened and close immediately within the next minute but I don't understand why. No stop loss is touched...
Has someone encoutered this and why it's so different is back testing (I've tried on the day before so it's not a problem of missing or breaks datas)

Many thanks

I try your EA sice some weeks now. And I found that the slow moving times are a real killer for this system. In the parameters we can find ADXLevel and EntryMinATR to filter those times.

Would you please give a more detailed explenation for this parameters.
How can I fnd a good value for this.

Best regards
