Thanks Tread, I was indeed still using the 1.0 because most of the indies I use are from THV V3.


I'll upgrade right away

hey anyone made any valuable progress on the EA. well while back testing it gives good results, but in live testing the last 2 MTF changes colour, which result in a bad trade. so does anyone have a solution? also can anyone tell whts the alternative to stoch indicator in this THV EA??

To be honest...no... i have been testing back and forth for quite awhile, just cannot seem to get it to be profitable, the programming is fantastic and it packed with features.

I get great result trading it manually (Thv 4), I use ADX/Di+/DI- and Stoch on the M1 Charts, with cavemanger 1.41 to manage the trade once it is placed.

I am fairly certain that the TRIX Time Period and the overbought setting can hold some answers. I keep poking away at it.

At the risk of sounding repetitive , i think that if an entry for Di+ and DI- is added or some sort of strength indicator, it would make this a very reliable system. This may be built into the system, but i am yet to find it.

Xux99, Thanks a lot for your great effort.
I am now loading v0.91 on my demo account, I would like to help keep testing on this versions in the next 6 months!
I have been testing for 2 weeks, however, it cost 50% loss.
What was happening?

Thanks to the team for the excellent THV and develop.
I am a beginner and I do not know English fine. I want to share 2 .Sets that are giving me great satisfaction in demo account, MIG and IAMfx, one for minilots (0.1) and the other for micro accounts, 0.01 lots on the EURUSD pair-M1.
I have tried these two .set forward in the period May 24 to 28.
Maybe I could do better but many configuration parameters are not explained in detail on THV manual.
I tried last set with good results in backtesting, I'll try it forward in the coming days
bye

Hi there,

I am testing v 0.91 and my entry conditions are the following :

Trix :

 

  1. M15 S, M30 F, M30 S (those are the 3 first lights of my second Trix MTF) have the trade direction color.(100 code as fresh signal is expected)
  2. Fast and Slow have the trade direction color
  3. M1 F and M5 F (those are the 2 first lights of my first Trix MTF) have the trade direction color (100 code as fresh signal is expected)

Coral :

  1. PriceCrossCoral at 2010 (I do not require a closed candle here. Same for fresh signal) + MinCrossCoralPips = 1

Ichimoku :

  1. PriceCrossIchimoku set to 1010 (I require a closed candle here but not a fresh signal) + PriceCrossIchimokuPips = 1
  2. PA is above both M15 and M5

Divergence :

  1. TrixDivergence is set to 2 so that an entry would not occur if there is a divergence in the opposite direction.

When I look at the charts, several entry signals should have occured but I get none, ZERO

My .set file is attached, if some of the big guys can take a look and tell me what I do wrong, I would appreciate.

I think it is impossible that with my set I was able to get this good result it is possible that there is not a loss?
Is there anyone that can try to repeat this test ?
Someone tell me how I can reduce the equity line balance to the line? As seen in the chart. . .

Hi Xux99,
congratulations for the effort in developing THV, I would ask you. . . why the EA 0,91 system once installed, slows down my PC ?
All resources of the PC slowed down and I tried the v0,91 on 4 different computers with XP, MT4 and good adsl.

I tried to change filter False News but has changed little

This for me is a problem because the system is almost frozen
To get back control of my PC I have to temporarily disconnect the ADSL cable

Many thanks

THV EA requires a lot of CPU resources because of the trix indicator. Try to use closed candle signals so that trix is calculated only once per candle.

Not sure if this works for all, but when i am running multiple pairs, i reduce the Trix Bars, I have seen an increase in performance. I can run 5 pairs simultaneously @ 22% CPU usage ( run a quad core 4Gb Ram).

Hi xux99


Thanks for all the work you're putting in this EA. I have a problem,
when I do back tests with the Stratergy Tester and select any other open/close time in TradingSession than "00002400" the EA will not take any trade.
See attached image.

Charlie59 you dont have SL...
Yes, I know.
For now I close the position manually.
I need to understand how to stop a trade in different ways, for example, when it reaches an amount of 300, 500 or $ 1,000, but using other parameters and not the SL voice.
I want to say it: "close the trade if the loss reaches 3, 5 or 10% of the account". Or: "quit if the price go back and crosses again IchiMoku".
The SL option prevents the performance of this wonderful program.
I have tried to define an alternative to the classic SL option with PriceCrossIchimuku or PriceCrossCoral exit, but performance becomes very bad. Maybe I better study the parameters of this e.a. but I am only a novice traderhttp://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon9.gif and i don't understand how set all parameters. . .


If anyone wants to try this set and give me support, I would be grateful http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

My understanding is that this is not a universal setting but is applied to each input eg.

120M1 for the Fast Trix

1- Closed Candle - Entry
2 - Open Candle - Exit
0 - Fresh Signal
M1 - M1 Time Frame

Page 2 of the Manual has details and an example.

in the EA setting,
go to the trix part, 0= open candle, 1 = closed candle

@ Charlie

For the trade to Exit when you cross the Ichimoku you can try:
http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/4604/96373107.png


1210 :-

1 - Entry on Close Candle
2 - Exit on Open Candle
1 - Fresh Signal not Required
0 - Current Time Frame

Another method to control the losses is the IMAXCross:

0210:-

0 - Not used for Entry
2 - Exit on Open Candle
1 - Fresh Signal not Required
0 - Current Time Frame

http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/9185/43570376.png


Stop loss can also be managed by ATR aside from the Classic, however this you would have to play with, since this make the SL variable and can range widely sometimes it may be 30 and other 10, based on the settings. I prefer the fixed SL.

I would say imho that 3/5/10% SL per trade is high, i typically use 2%, but this is purely personnel based on individual risk management.

Thank You Tread,
i will soon try this configuration.
I was thinking that to avoid manually exit, the best thing would be to exit when the trend has changed. . . without losing enormous sums of $ http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
I saw that the expert opens trades and sometimes trends change without retrace for a long time.
Here, it should be a way out without waiting long when this happens and exit after a short time. . .
>> Is this possible ?
>> Or a second EA that close the opened long trades when the trend becomes short and vice versa ?

The Imaxx do a great job of sending signals upon reversal of trend:-

http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/4659/imaxx.png

When the red/aqua lines cross are good points to exit.

You can adjust the Imaxx setting to widen the distance between lines
