THV MTF EA beta testing

the THV 1.0 seems to be quite a demanding EA.
i'm currently using 3 charts to test the EA and it often lags, taking a few seconds to load the updated screen while switching from other running programme like firefox/word/my computer.
My computer is core 2 duo 2ghz with 4 gb ddr3 ram, is it too much for running 3 charts?

The problem can be that MT4 buff allcurrency history to PC RAM and that makes your PC laggy. Try to go to MT4 otpions and make "max bars in history"
"max bars on chart" number lower.
As alternitive you can just delete your history in history folder obviously.

I downloaded the latest version v08 of this robot. Its telling me to be expired. Is there any other version?

Ive downloaded the zip with ricmi's settings on the EA but im unsure how to use them. do i manually type them in? or is there some way to upload them. because the numbers he gives only shows for the first collumn. what do i type for the other collums in the same row?

and do i check the boxes on the side? or leave them unchecked?

The THV has never made any orders, however i studied the charts and saw a number of positions that met the criteria of entry, then i checked my setting again and again. I wonder whether the error has anything to deal with the script setting.

1. Though on the far right there are numbers 1-4 and 1-2 (shown by red box) written for both histo, i assume they implies the "order for input", however in the EA setting I have to enter the entry and exit conditions for
MTFTrixDot1/2/3/4
MTFIchimokuDot1/2
So how should I enter the conditions? Set conditions according to the order of input (big green box)? According to the displayed timeframe (small green box)? Or according to the "I-guess assumed displayed order" (red box)?

2. I'm extremely confused about the description of the "patterns settings"? In the user guide it says 1/2/3 open orders or disallow opening orders when the patterns are considered. However the considered pattern is only regarded as an abolute prerequisite by 4. So what is the difference between condition 1 "An order is opened by the presence of this pattern." and 4 "The presence of this specific pattern is an absolute prerequisite for opening an order". If I set the pinbar = 2 "no order is opened by the presence of an opposite pattern.", since it is not an "absolute prerequisite", will any order be opened when other criteria are all met while an opposite pattern of pinbar is present?

If possible I hope that the THV team can fix these problems. Much thanks

Thank very much

Its really complicated EA if you dont know exactly what to tune and how to tune. Also Backtesting it takes literally forever, even with very good PC.
I have phenom II X4 running in 4ghz and backtest for 1 year takes all night long. So its the best to make up good potential settings and let it backtest it in night time. Why backtests take so much time? Because MT4 only uses one core of the CPU. If you have multi core CPU then u can run appication and backtests multiple times. Im running 4 at once in nightime to stress my CPU 100% and make full use it. You also should have quite capable HDDs in raid or SSD.

For changing and tweeking settings you really REALLY need to fully read AND understand the manual. The Manual is great and it says all you need to know.
If you are haveing any trouble with orders, then obviously you havent understood everything.

I haver noticed that very common mistake what peeps make usually is not allowing EA to trade. Theres section about trading hours inside the EA options. Read about it and use it the right way.
Also make sure you know what thiese 3 digit numbers mean inside the options.

Personally i find this EA quite nice. It lacks only few options and itss slow backtesting is pain in ass, but overall its OK.
I havent found any good settings for long period of time yet, but im staying positive and hopefully some time i will have settings to use for live trading.

GL to everyone.
K.

for sure i have enabled EA trading, both long and short. There's a smiley on the top right corner of the chart window.
I've just disabled all the pattern settings. They are not my main trading signals after all. I'll see if the EA works.

Thanks!

Hi,

You can import the settings.
Press F7.
Select the "Inputs" tab.
Click on "Load" and point to the location where the m1.set is located.
Select the file and click "Open".

Above loads the parameters stored in the file.

Hope above helps you.

Today.

i'm totally frustrated about how to set the THV EA
it hasn't made any trades for 4 days since i've started the "testing"
i've set the trading hours: 00012359
however, the screen is still showing that "we are outside trading hours" while the server time displayed is 20:41

Very impressive ! I see the TAKE PROFIT, but were is the STOP LOSS ?
Are you controling it manually?
Are you closing it manually ?
Are you using this file: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...68347&page=154, thread no.2300 ?

Thank you

As you already know,SL can be hidden.No,this is other setup,like I said,still in testing phase.

My first day testing's result.
Testing pairs: EU M5, UJ M5, GU M15
settings for EU and UJ M5 are doing fine,
but the one for GU M15 has to be improved.
in case of confusing, i've crossed out the histories for EU M1 (both lost).

Hi lmyyyks,

These are very impressive results! What broker you've testing? Can we see your settings?

Regards

Hi

I'm using both FxPro and GoMarkets, the above result was from FxPro, I've just started the GoMarkets demo after I've posted the result.
I dare not sharing the settings since it's just the first day and you can see there're 2 appreciable loss trades for GU M15.
I'll have to adjust the parameters so to eliminates as many false entries as possible.

testing changed setups.

Hi Ricmi,

Please provide your set file for the 15min TF. This should help all fellow trader.
