If you mean what are the red/green triangles, blue arrows and thumbs all about on the 5min chart then see post 5411:

http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=5411

Things moved on a little from that point but, the descriptions of what the red/green triangles and orange bar depict are correct. Since then 2 blue arrows were added to show the directions of the 10 period SMA and the 197 period SMA (both up or both down means they are aligned). The three thumbs indicate aligned SMA's, aligned 15min fractals and...
Hi piptician.

I think sanyhuis is referring to the numbers that appear in the middle of each
day in the H1 chart in dark green or red!

Oh I see, I forgot to explain those numbers. They are simply the profits/losses for each of the positions for that day.

"unmatched data error" is on backtesting only, Download and update

1Min Historic Data for GBPUSD, you won't get that error in live trading.

Hi piptician,
I'll do that. But it's not what I was talking about. I was talking about figures on the chart in dark colors, but I found out what they were. They were the profits on the trades. + & -. Red and green. Cool. I tested it on NYO today and it did a fine job. Have had no opportunity to check the SL's and TSL's though. Hope they are working. It's a bugger when they don't.
This new one is pretty awesome. Thank you.

PS You got your post in before I did! Thanks so much, you and Geoff, for all you do.

Sky,

Can you use Tokyo13 on M5 and post what annotations Tokyo13 shows for the each of the loosing dates ? It will be interesting to see the fractal and SMA information annotations.

Thanks,

If your SL's and TSL's are not working due to order modify delays then try setting OrderModifyMillisecondDelay to 0.

Thanks so much for all your work. It's so nice of you to share it with us.
I just wish I had your capabilities in programming.

Hmmm... I feel a rant coming on ...

I've spent a considerable number of hours completely rewriting the code so that 1 EA can be used instead of 3, it does error checking on the numerous parameters and combinations of parameters, it handles trade server errors including retrying missed trades. With Tokyo13 it runs on 5min charts and annotates fractals, moving average directions and gives you 3 thumbs up if everything is aligned for a trade. I've made all this available for free and people are making real money from it.

So how is this not...
I don't call that a rant..you should hear some of mine. You have every right to "go off" on this guy, but didn't. What an ego he has!

You mean run the back test for specified dates? Sure.. I'm now

running optimization for IBFX.. After I finish that, I'll do V13..

Problem is that V13 still have those modify TSL issues (at least for me) and V9 runs ok.

Till it fixed, I cannot take any chances leaving V13 overnight, cause if TSL will fail, - I can get loss..

Yes I meant use V13 in back test just for those loosing dates just so we can see the Fractal/SMA annotations for those dates. We can compare those to what we get on say Alpari UK to see what the difference is.

I think setting OrderModifyMillisecondDelay to 0 should fix you TSL issue.

I'm quite sure now WTF is happening on IBFX and why for that exact

period test fail and after that it's runs perfect.. Looks like this is

due to the Summer time 1 hour change.. For that exact period

performance is perfect with GTMoffset 1 for IBFX and after

summer time switched in GTMoffset 0 kicks in for the best performance..

That 3 month piece fixed now.. and IBFX GTM_Offset is 1

for that period.. I'll run it for whole 6 month including Summer

time change to confirm, but still That offset has to be switched to 0 then..

I agree with Sky. I've noticed that the ones who are having that problem are having it on the #1 and #3. There have been no complaints that I'm aware of for #2.

Doesn't look too good:

I've run into the same backtesting issue (posted a couple of days back).

With IBFX try setting the GMT offset to -3 and check your backtesting results....

It seems to produce 'dramatically' better results in the testing I've done...
