THV MTF EA beta testing

Thanks Wayger, on the first page the latest release is 0.8.
Guys, would it be possible to post the latest up to date version on page 1 of the thread. I think that would help a lot of people.

THV EA v0.91 is restricted to demo accounts and has an expiration date. It can be used for both THV v3 and THV v4 trading systems.

Thanks xux99!!!! Downloaded it and already looking over the good stuff! 4 digit inputs ...hmmm ..... interesting stuff

Thanks to the entire THV team for making it happen


Tread

thats great XUX99, looking forward for a good result from this EA.

Hi xux99

Sry to be the first with the question, but the eperiod settings for the MTF Ichimoku Histo is not there, will it be referenced automatically from the template?

All the best.

I have 7 pairs running with settings as they came out of the box and up over 100 pips in 4 hours.

Yup with a little tweaking it running great so far.

Couple of question for xux99

1.) The ICHI setting for the cloud (2/5/8) is different than the setting for the MTF (2/3/5), should they not be sync'd?


Ichimoku_settings=----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tenkan_sen=2
Kijun_sen=5
Senkou_span_b=8

MTF_IchimokuHisto_settings=----------------------------------------------------------------------
MaPeriod1=2
MaPeriod2=3
MaPeriod3=5

Don't mean be be a pain.


The Periodicity modifier for the trix overbought absolutely rocks

Thanks

Hello xx99 and others. Congratulations on the new release. It is as functionally rich as any EA product that I have worked with. I have been trying to come up with successful settings for v1.0 for awhile now with questionable success. Will know try the same thing withthe new release. Am trading THV4 manually with success. Have read the base thread and the EA thread, and understand the THV system.

Please consider the following questions:

1. SKDistance and MinLevelDistance seem to me to accomplish the same thing. I must not understand one of them. Can you comment on these to paramerters?
2. I do not really understand what is meant by a "Fresh Signal"? Under what cercumstances would the previous candle have a false entry, and how does one know that the current candle is a valid signal until it closes, and maybe even until the next candle closes due to repaint on higher timeframes?
3. I have the EA up on a chart running on demo at the monent. I have all 8 MTF-Trix dots set to 1000, and the 4 MTFIchimuko dots also set to 1000. Upon coming back for a look after a couple of hours, I have trades opened and closed without all 12 dots set the same color. Does the EA not require all dots to be set the same, or does it take a lessor number set, like MisPips recommends?
4. If Hedge is set to true, under what conditions will the EA hedge?
5. When multiple positions are enabled and opened, does each position have independent SL, TP, TS, partial closes, etc. managed separately pursuant to the input parameters?

That is enough for now. Thanks again for a feature rich EA and for answering my questions.

Hi EasyRyder

The MTF 4th Digit 1000 needs to be set to the time you want to monitor so it would possibly be 100m1 or 110m1 where m1 refers to the chart time

e.g

MTF Trix 1 - 100m1
MTF Trix 2 - 100m5
----------------------------------

On another note, is you Screen Shots feature working? I cannot seem to get it to function

Tread

Its not necessary to be the same as they refer to different conditions. You can set them as you like. I used the cloud settings of THV4 trading system template.

1. SRDistance and MinLevelDistance seem to me to accomplish the same thing. I must not understand one of them. Can you comment on these to paramerters?

SRDistance only refers to S/R levels but MinLevelDistance refers to daily pivot and psych levels as well.

2. I do not really understand what is meant by a "Fresh Signal"? Under what cercumstances would the previous candle have a false entry, and how does one know that the current candle is a valid signal until it closes, and maybe even until the next candle closes due to repaint on higher timeframes?

For example, if trix hasn't cossed at the previous closed candle but crosses temporarily on current candle (unclosed candle signal) then we have a valid entry. This entry signal may dissapear at the next tick but the trade has already been opened. All MTF indicators repaint and this should be always taken into account.

3. I have the EA up on a chart running on demo at the monent. I have all 8 MTF-Trix dots set to 1000, and the 4 MTFIchimuko dots also set to 1000. Upon coming back for a look after a couple of hours, I have trades opened and closed without all 12 dots set the same color. Does the EA not require all dots to be set the same, or does it take a lessor number set, like MisPips recommends?

It requires all 12 dots to give a signal. Make sure the EA setting and the attached indicators settings are the same, you have set a different timeframe for each dot and use the screenshot feature to examine the entries.

4. If Hedge is set to true, under what conditions will the EA hedge?

If a trade is already open and an opposite entry signal occurs, an opposite direction trade is also opened. This does not happen if Hedge is false.

5. When multiple positions are enabled and opened, does each position have independent SL, TP, TS, partial closes, etc. managed separately pursuant to the input parameters?

Yes each position is managed seperately and has its own stop loss and take profit.

Has anyone got Screen shots working?

I have it set to true, but still not functioning, tried multiple installs, different machines.....FXCM and FXDD all same.

Tread

Still standard settings.

Tread,

The .pdf says that the time to monitor defaults to the current chart timeframe if it is set to 0. So if you are on m1, it should default to m1. I think I am ok with the 4th digit.

Thanks for the response.

Tread, let me play with this -- you might be right.

Hello XUX99. Thanks for your help back a couple of posts.

If I am trading the M1 and I set TrixOverboughtOversold = 100M5 will the TrixOverboughtOversold signal be taken from the M5 trix pursuant to the OverBought and Oversold parameters that I have entered in the parameter list immediately following TrixOverboughtOversold = 100M1?? This signal would then be joined with the other entry signals that have been enabled?

Also, I have been trading the manual THV4 system on the M1 chart. Have you and/or other successful traders used M1 with the trading robot, or is everyone going to a higher TF?? Your thoughts from experience here would be appreciated.

If TrixOverboughtOversold is 100M5, trix of M5 timeframe is used and a trade is opened if the rest entry conditions are also present. It is difficult to find profitable settings for M1, try H1.

Hello all. I have ScreenShots = true last night, but can't find the saved pics. They are not in the experts/files folder. Am I looking in the correct place?

Thanks.

Hi there,

I'm getting a bit confused with the release mgt of the EA...the latest one seemed to be V 1.0 (working only with THV V3) and now the one released a couple of days ago is V 0.91 (working with both V3 and V4). Why is that ? What differentiate those 2 versions ?
Then, for the folks playing successfully with the EA for quite a while, would you mind posting a few .set files in order for us to try out several combinations ?

Thanks.
