Broker is TheCollectiveFX. Fractals did not form correctly to create a trade....not sure why (no errors in Experts or Journal files). This seems to happen quite often with this broker. Have EA set on two platforms one on H1 and the other set on M5. Neither traded. The 'stock' M5 fractal formed, but the EA did not follow suit. Any Idea why? Is the fractal restriction necessary to the success if the EA? In v.16 could they be made optional so we could test to see if they are necessary?

I'm glad to hear this. I received an invitation from them today and was seriously considering but now I have AlpariUK, who is the best with this EA and I will stay put. How do you like them other than this issue?
The fractals are a vital part of the EA. It's nothing without them.

Oh, I thought the ZZZZZ was just indicating that Jiva was taking a nap... I called Commercial; they didn't call back. Maybe I'll try them again. Thanks.

That is too funny....so did I!

When I run the tester it gives n/a for modeling quality. I have gone to tools and history and downloaded 1m data. It still gives n/a.
How can I get higher modeling quality?
Anyone?
thanks in advance...

I have the same thing.. I still think TSL problem not fixed and generating errors during the test as not

all of them getting executed . Check your "Journal" or

"Experts" Tab for those errors..

It seems that Tokyo 15 runs better on this platform. Geoff, is your acct live or demo on ECN mt4 or "regular" mt4? If ECN, then it should be set as "true" for ECN, correct?

Thanks.

Fxcbs is ECN and live and ECN is set to true, so far it seems to work very
much like my Alpari (non ECN) accounts.

This EA is based on a sound strategy. So even if the 10 and 197 moving averages don't head in the same direction before trading time, I MAY still place a manual trade like I did yesterday when the 10 and 16 moving averages were pointing in the same direction.

Yes, trading in the direction of the longer period ma is safer in the long term, but an occasional trade using this strategy against the longer trend is sometimes profitable as well. Periods of consolidation when the trend indicators are rather flat makes trading a bit tentative also.

I'm not indifferent to the factors, just unattached to the outcome. Yes, many things to consider...

Just some thoughts on a quiet summer afternoon here in Northern California...

Catch me if you can

From Tokyo13 onwards, it is possible to run the EA on any GBPUSD timeframe that you choose without effecting the results. Internally the EA utilizes the H1, M15 and M5 minute data that it needs independently of the timeframe of the GBPUSD chart it is attached to. The advantage of running this on an M5 chart is that it also adds annotations to show where the 15min/5min Fractals are and whether everything is lined up for an entry (three thumbs up).

In terms of which version everyone is using, I'm afraid it still appears...
Thanks Piptician!

That is what I thought, so when you asked what everyone else's looked like I got a bit confused.

I am using v11, v14, v15 and soon v16... It is interesting how they all take different trades at different entries, but still all profitable.

I am using forex.com and ibfx on them, both penny and 10 cent accounts. Seems interesting.
We are our own best indicator.
