Hi All, hi Charlie59,
Please see my results for your settings no.39. http://www.myfxbook.com/strategies/t...tting-no39/204 I know, it's not 90% accuracy, but it was run on 'Every tick' option since beginning of May and it should not deviate much from 90% results in my opinion. Anyway, it's just for reference and general view.
You can see that there is significant drop on the way. I need to see into the chart to check what happened there.
Will carry on with testing.

Bart

Tread has generously accepted to continue the development of THV EA. I am sure he is going to do a good job and I hope the community can assist him with ideas and testing.

Dl4hao,
I managed to load the data and do all things as you advised. I'm getting 90% acuracy on H1 time frame. But to test THV properly I'd like to test M1 as well. Unfortunately I'm getting this type of feedback on the console, see picture below. Would you be able to advise what could I do more to get rid of it (instead of results I'm getting comments: Trix loaded, Trix removed. Trix loaded, Trix removed, so on, so on) and get the results for testing EA? Thanks in advance.
Bart.

Here you can download historical data for our pairs ... metatrader 4 can import that txt-files. After importing there is a script (period_converter, screenshot see buttom) in your metatrader 4 which can calculate the other timeframes.

Hy Bart,

as far as I know, the trix indicator eats a lot of cpu power ... and it could be impossible to backtest the thv-ea on M1 (and/or M5 ?) timeframe.

You can see the same when you install the trix indicator at your M1 or M5 (or every other) chart. When you scroll back, the trix will visible "collapse" ... so it could be impossible to backtest the thv-ea for more than 750 or 500 candels or so ...

As written before, the best is foreward-testing ... but it is sad that there is (almost?) no way to run the THV-EA in optimising mode in the strategietester of MT4

The main issue for not proper working is (if I remember right from my tests with that EA some months ago) that by manual trading the THV method, all conditions should be given at -one- moment (for example at a closed candle) ... but the THV-EA is not working so. If there is (for example) a proper trix-cross but the price is not on the right side of the cloud and/or of the coral, no trade is taken. Thats OK ... but then, some candels later, the price moves on the right side of the cloud (and/or coral) and -then- a trade is taken! ... but too late ... that is not ok ... the conditions have to be given at one (or set by user) two candels and not over a period of so much candels ...

(sorry about my english)

I wish all of you a nice weekend and a pipful new week,
Dietmar (DL4HAO)

Charlie59, your settings are not too bad. In my opinion settings no.38 are more cosistant than settings no.39. Note that it probably won't be possible to achieve 90% for M1 TF. This results are for 3 day period only ;-). Looks good enough to put it on a VPS and see how behaves in real deal.

Hi xux99, hi Tread,
I would appreciate very much a feedback whether the EA is running on STP/ECN brokers or not. Thanks.

Hi sl0wik78, your gain seems not to be as profitable as on your chart. With your last 3 trades according to your myfxbook entry you obviously destroyed all your profit and ended with a loss. Where was your stoploss ?

No worries lads ;-)
The reason I have cut those last two trades from the chart was that Strategy Tester on MT4 cuts last trades at the end of period being tested and make a big drawdown. Those have to be taken as outliers and not counted as valid results. They have comment 'close at stop' meaning that the trade was open when tested period finished and Tester couldn't imort history data to finish it properly. THAT IS one of the reasons why you need to be careful using OPTIMIZATION mode. The cure is to find a date when the tester does not open trade and make this date as an End Date for the tested period. Only then you can run Optimisation mode and give an EA chance to show relevant results.

The previous version used an old Trix indicator version to calculate divergence. This update corrects this.
This is my first post here.
First of all I would like to thank THV EA Team very much for excellent job done with that EA.

Xux99, could you please be so kind and check posted THV EA v.1.11 - in template folder there is a file named THV EA v1.11.exe instead of tpl file.

Wishing all of you happy piping.

Instead of allowing the stop out to happen. Use an Indicator to provide an exit, the easiest to test is the ImaxCross, but you can use almost any of the indicators entry as exits also.

Hi xux99, hi Tread,
I unpacked the THV v1.11 package on an CollectiveFX client with a demo account. CFX is a 5 digit STP broker. Unfortunately the EA icon in the Navigator window is grey, meaning not active. Any idea why ?

So I think I finally started to make some headway in being profitable,
http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/3...1006211953.png



I have attached the set file. Couple of items to note:-

I have use 8/14 instead of the typical 20/35 setting for the Trix and used 2/2/5 instead for the ichimoku setting. I have this running on 16 pairs on the THV EA 1.0.

I have not ported it to the 1.11 version yet.

let me know you feedback

Hi All, How are ya Tread, congrats on the promotion ;-). Also, thank you for the settings. I'll try to adopt them to latest version. Settings have been changed slightly since v1.0. Anyway, I'm writing coz I have got problem with EA not stopping out significant drops on equity on bad trades. That cause account being blown off. Does anybody know what caould possibly cause such a behaviour? Which setting could eliminate this out of trading? Bart. http://www.screencast.com/t/NDRlN2Q5Nj
