........... Avoid firing the robot up when Rsi is already >70 or <30. Drag an Rsi indi onto your chart and set the period to 2 to read the Rsi value..........
Hey Steve, just wondering what your Logic is behind the above statement and why you feel it needs to be addressed.
If I'm running the EA on Daily chart, do you still feel this way? Is it because RSI takes a bit to do it's calculations so may not be accurate if you load the EA between those periods which may trigger a false order?

Thank you

Which is what it was doing, putting the EA directly on the chart without the indicator, lead, in some cases, a false trade being sent.

Ok, that's what I thought. Just started testing the EA so was just curious.
Maybe I should modify the EA a bit to have it check Indicator readings when EA loaded, Sleep for a minute then read the Indicators values again then when values are relatively stable then continue to processing the EA. Only have this check done during EA Initialization.
Thanks

At the moment the unsung hero of the moment is Zoogle, his version has closed 28 trades with 26 wins and 2 losses, for 707 pips.

Congrats and thanks Zoogle.

Kudos to Zoogle here too. His ea keeps cranking out pips.

It is because that can lead to trades 1, 2 & 3 being sent in rapid succession instead of being spaced out.

Ok, so not due to slow RSi calculations?

I have the EA on Daily so can take days to get out of >70 or <30

Don't forget that the Yen cross pairs are made up of USDJPY.

i.e. EURJPY = EURUSD * USDJPY

So good dollar news means

EURUSD = down and USDJPY = up

My Demo's on Forex.com for the Original BOJ have always worked fine and continue to do so.
- On one Demo I got a trade last night at 00.01 GMT that went pear shaped, but the new Trade Expiry setting cut it after 5 hours as instructed by my inputs It then took another trade at 07.03 GMT which closed for profit at 08.31 GMT.
- The other Demo not using the trade expiry actually closed the 00.01 GMT trade for a profit at 06.52 GMT, but consequently mised the 07.03 GMT trade that the other demo took.
Cool.
Jezza,
I never demo. I was talking about live trading.

Yep, it works fine, I've added it to a few other ea's at one point in time when I wanted this feature. Would be a nice addition to steve's mtm ea for sure. Very simple addition.

The 5 of the floating positions are closed in profit and 3 are still open..pretty promising start by V1.6! Original continues to make its usual 1% in such a tight range..

Hi Steve,

Thanks again for the vouch and letting me a part of this generous community.

I have the same question as the member below. I'd appreciate it if you can take a minute to answer his question about LotDivisor.

Also, I notice that TCF2 tends to crash the platform alot (I guess only when I have it running on about 4 or more charts or during backtesting) Should this be a cause for concern?

Much appreciated.

Jason

Steve,

I noticed that the default for LotDivisor is 50000 in the TCF EA. I can't find an explanation for this anywhere on site. Is this the starting amount of our account and should it be set accordingly so the lot sizes adjust automatically if this function is set to true, or is this something totally unrelated? Thanks for your time. I really like this EA so far...great work as always!

Hey sundog.. how did you manage that today? I have had 10 trades and 7 winners on my demo account. However, the losing 3 have wiped the profits clean.

What timeframe are you using? WHat pairs? what settings?

After various tests, I think I found a set that gives no too bad results.
For mode 1 we look at 3 TF
For others mode (KG) we look at 4 TF
Designed for M5
I removed most of params, so only the Lots have to be changed according account size (default for 50 or 100 k account)
As usual, open 5 charts ;
UsdChf, EurUsd, GbpJpy, GbpUsd, EurJpy and apply the template, you should have something like the picture below.
Hope this one will eat pips

Version 2.3 will simply close all trades - eventual winners as well as losers after a settable time delay - which may not be profitable longer term ... IMHO

Attached is record so far ...
