Onefineday,

Thanks for this EA. I'm a little confused. Do we add the HA T3-1 template to the 30 minute chart and then add the EA to it? Also, we only need to add this to 1 pair and it will check the rest automatically? and do we need to have the rest of the pairs up also with the templates? Thanks again

Buddy this is not an EA it is just used for selecting best/worst pairs for trading with this system and it is good for back testing only. At least I would use it to determine best and worst pairs for myself and that's about it. This is where I would retire it and not use it going forward.

As of now MQL does not offer a capability for back testing multiple pairs simultaneously. So you would have to do the below mentioned process for all pairs individually.

0. Make sure you have the 'Heiken_Ashi_Ma_T3-1' in your indicators folder.
1. Compile it since it is in MQL format.
2. Place it on any chart on H4 time frame.
3. Open Strategy Tester or press F6.
4. Decide the dates you want to back test it for.

All the best and please post the equity graph after you are done backtesting. It would help us all to know best/worst pairs

Onefineday,

Sorry about the confusion. My post got added right after you posted the crude test EA. I'm talking about the first EA (Scanner) that you posted

Great Questions Paul.

Yes, please add this EA to a GJ 30M chart without anything at all. Just a price chart. And it will scan all the pairs and report you the results on its own.

Moreover you can open separate charts - one a 30M and one a 4H with Tonys templates on it. Whenever this EA gives you a signal you can load the corresponding pair on the relevant time frame chart with the template and check. Hope this helps.

DAMID The Post is not allowing me to edit, I think the edit option is not there after x hours. So from now on all new version would be on separate posts.

------------------------------------------------

LATEST VERSION - "--- May 10, 2010 21:00 GMT --- " <-- Always ensure that when you load your EA Scanner the first settings shows these details, if not then you might be using an older version.

---------------------------------------------------------
Latest Release May 10,2010 21:00 by FxDrive (suffix add on filter for brokers who suffix their pairs)
Previous Release May 10,2010 16:00 by OFD (fixed 5 digit spread filter)
---------------------------------------------------------

Okay guys so here is the EA Scanner I spoke about in the previous post.

But first, please note this is not perfect. I need your help in testing it thoroughly. You would understand that this baby has to scan almost 28 pairs and has to run calci's for 5 separate indicators (2 embedded) for each time frame. Moreover a number of checks to ensure that duplicate emails are not sent. It has the ability to decide on the direction of the 4H time frame by going back in time.etc. In short, there will be bugs in there and I promise to squash them if you guys are willing to help me.

How to Use it ?
1. Download the file and put it in your MetaTrader > Experts Folder
2. Attach it to Signal Time Frame Chart i.e. 30M chart of GBPJPY(most active) according to Tony's Strategy.
3. DO NOT FIDDLE with the Settings, if you want to trade as per Tony's Setup.
4. Incase you want to scan all 28 pairs just enter the variable 'SpreadLessThanOREqualTo' as 100.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you have the HA, W-LNX and Trend Lord in your Experts > Indicator folder and they should be named as 'Heiken_Ashi_Ma_T3-1', 'W-LNX' and 'TrendLord' respectively. Please note if you do not have these indicators download them from the first post and remember to name them exactly as stated in blue above. Names are case sensitive. I have embedded AO in the EA itself so you may or may not have the AO Indicator, it hardly matters.

This is all you have to do and you should start getting results. Initially please DO NOT rely on the alerts by this EA, please recheck each alert as per the rules of this method. Lastly, please do report all bugs and features you would like to see in this EA.

Bugs
1. There might be some issues with alerts on the 30M chart - OFD
2. Opening of properties dialog when the EA is running - rdwatkins

Add-Ons
1. Pair Selection by the user - Kosomolate
2. Option for Line Spacing between OnScreenComments - unimark

People who are using Tony's Method especially the old guys please share your results with us. I would really like to see them so that I get the boost to keep on working on this EA.

Happy Trading,
OFD

P.S. We cannot keep on posting new posts, does any one has a better idea how can we work this problem out ?

well it remains there fore 2.5 minutes and thereafter it refreshes. So what you can do is you can flip this option to 'WaitForTradingTFCandleClose' to true. This ways it should not refresh.

I will include this settings in later releases. hope its helps.

It's possible that your colour scheme is stopping this. Try copying the attached template to your templates directory and attach it to your chart.

ok after it scans it reports "eurcad -- short signal confirmed 0 bars back "

wht does this mean ??

Does it mean that the short signal generated satisfies all the rules of tony' s system and we can enter a trade ??

I mean does it satisfy both the 4h and 30 m conditions of Tony ??

Also when I went to check manually I found that in the 4H chart the AO was down but was blue in color meaning retracement.

Please explain if I am missing something. I did try it overnight on demo and raked in 300 usd in .6 lot

Really appreciate and Thank you for your efforts

Unimark,

The messages that you see on the screen are only for the 4H time frame. It shows you a picture of what is happening on the 4H. 30M chart frame signals are given only via Alerts and not via on screen comments.

"eurcad -- short signal confirmed 0 bars back " <--- means eurcad is forming a short signal on the current bar. If you would open the chart you would see that HA has given a sell arrow on the current bar. Tony uses this method this ways and he does not wait for the candle to close.

Also, as per Tonys system AO should confirm a sell by being below 0. It does not matter whether it is blue or red. For sell AO should be below 0 and for buys it should be above 0. I have not programmed it to sense color. Chk Tonys vdo for more info.

let me know your thoughts.

try reducing the number of pairs scanned by lowering the SpreadFilter value. Will add this as an option in future releases.

Hello Onefineday


First i like to say thanks for the hard work you did very nice.
according to you these are the times when we get a high probability trade
i have tested this system and i found the best signals and the signals with high accuracy are when for expamle for short.
When first the A.O is below zere and the Trend lord is red and larg bars when this conditions are met and after that the HA_MA_T3 arrow apears that are the most power full signals.
And for long the opposite.

Is it possibul that you set this as an option to the EA. that if i like to get only this alerts when this only when this condtions are met?



Thanks.

Greet you,
Yoenes

Guys,

I would like to know how do you select the pairs. I mean like today during the Asian Session start the EA was giving out tons of signals and all fresh signals i.e. current bar (0) or previous bar (1) signals. So what are your rules to discriminate between which trade to take and which trade to skip.

I know tendlines and chart patterns help but is there anything out of the box which each of you look at. Like for me I do look at fundamentals and consider the overall main trend of a pair before placing an order.

I would love it if Tony and all oldies who have been using this system for long would come in with their experiences.

Best,
OneFineDay

Another quickie,

I opened 7 positions in the Morning during early Asia and early EU session. There was a time I was up by +250 pips and then it dipped and took me back by -50 pips. And now I am going up again +134 so far but with only 6 trades since my AJ hit the stop (my SL was at 83.50 and the high made on bid was 83.49.. eeeeeeee I hate it)..

Anyhow I want to ask another question what about building in some account protection function like Steve Hopwood's Trade Manager. i.e. if Avg/Pips per trade are above x figure then start protecting account equity. Lets say in the morning when i was up 250/7 = 35 pips per trade/per pair then I could have asked it to limit my losses max to 10pips/per pair. This would give all pairs an additional room and it would look at the bigger picture per pair and not account wise.etc. So in short if this profit would fall to 180 pips the EA would hit a hard stop and exit all positions. This my account equity would have been protected.

Just my thoughts. I hope I made sense. What do you guys say? I want this strategy to work out and produce winners like anything ?

Tony and others who have been using this system for long come in please.

Hello Onefineday

I have attach an example of a strong signal this signal was give before the large fall latst week .
To be clear if we get the conditions on the 4H chart wath i post before in my privious post en we than go to the 30M chart we wait to get an signal in the same direction at the same time the W_LNX must be the same color only than we enter the trade,in this example for short the W_LNX must be red.
in my opinion this are the most power full entrys.

shure if i m wrong tony or some others can correct me.

Thanks .

Greet you,
Yoenes
