THV MTF EA beta testing

I used default parameters with only one change (enable visibleSL). My MT4 version is V4.0 Build 226. I tested the modified version that you attached but still the same problem (2pips SL and 1pip TP).

Thanks for your efforts.

Hello Momods


I just ran a quick test

It appears to work well.

As a suggestion, reinstall the application to a separate folder, run the original installer THV EA 1.11 and test again.

Left the MD Trading MT4 running TP and SL beyond 2

Hi,

i would like try this ea, but my meta4 is crashing when i put the template in.

Apply the EA to a blank template and then add the indicator individually. Leave the Gartley for last and only if you are using harmonics as part of your entry, only add which indicators you are using.

Attached is a lite version to start.

Note the EA does NOT need to have the indicators on a chart to operate. This is purely for visual confirmation.

Overall this EA is very hefty, if testing, keep to a minimum amount of charts

I have been doing some checking.

Try this

CloseOneDirection = True, change to False and see it it works

Hi

Could anyone please advise me on the following matter.
I am unable to load my expert advisor and get a repeated message that it is disabled, also I have selected that it only trade a lot size of 0.02 yet it displays 0.10. I checked under options on the platform and ensured that the default is selected as 0.02. Reloaded my platform and even restarted my comp no luck

i have aslo some problems with sl and tp.

manualy is good
Stoplosstype 0
stoploss1 50
takeprofittype 0
takeprofit1 30

but after changing sl tp type to 1 (enable ATR based sl and tp )
and takeprofit1 to 3.0 (that means 3x atr based range right? )
stoploss1 to 2.0 (2x atr ?? or 2x 3xATR = 6x ATR ?)

5min charts eurusd 3x atr is 24 points
but my stop is about 7pips

2nd problem is i put sl and tp visibility to 1
but what i see in upper left corner is kinda crazy
tp is 2.0781
sl 0.9059

i know this is not problem with EA but with my understanding of all those settings

hi falwic

Please post your set file, also if you have a screen shot of one of the trades post that also.

One note having a visible SL and TP set to 1 means that if you get disconnected, the broker will close your order almost immediately.

on GBPUSD with this settings stoploss is 9pips
but in upper left corner i have info like this

short order #654984521 take profit 1.5206 stoploss 1.5358
enter about 15307
3xATR is 30 so ATR is 10

so it looks good with settings i made
stoploss1 5 ----> 50 pips
takeprofit 10 -----> 100pips

but this trade will be closed after 1.5316 stoploss so 9 pips.

Try CloseOneDirection = False let me know if that works. Also, please run a backtest and let me know it it happens also.

I test it out on the XTB platform this weekend

Do not waste your time on backtesting,you will get wrong results.Every setup change must be testing on live demo acc.

2nd problem is i cant load EA for backtesting
coz it always loads with all that indicators and mt4 cannot handle so much "information" so backtesting takes years

The backtest suggested is not for checking of profitability, but to make sure that the triggers are working as they should. Some aspects may not work, but i have found that it is an easy way to check changes, especially if using the "evey tick" option. Saves having to wait till sunday!


To get around this I can suggest:
Option 1 (i use this, since I do not like messing with the MT4 that I trade with)
1.) Load a second instance of MT4,
2.) Install THV 1.11.
3.) Delete the template 1.11.
4.) Conduct the backtest. The Template is NOT required for operation of the EA.

Second option is to using the existing instance of the EA for testing.

1.) Rename the existing THV EA 1.11 template to a different name (any will do).
2) Conduct the backtest. The Template is NOT required for operation of the EA.

Hi,

Any one posting here demo live results?

Regards
13

what do you mean ?

some backtesting or live/demo results?

i have some test on demo accounts for
2 weeks periods without any integretion from my side

5min charts
15min charts
1H charts

all with basic settings 50sl 30 tp

now im running 5,15,1H accounts with various settings.
news filter, no trade on monday or specific hours,

with ATR based SL TP i have some serious problems.

all i need is faster computer and better DSL.

my e4300@3ghz can handle only 5-6 accounts...
do you have same performance as me ?

With regards to the backtesting, I meant have you tried this and experience the same problems as when you are testing live?

Also with regards to performance, I use a blank chart and attach the EA to it, since the EA performs the calculation internally, when you add the indicators to the chart you are in effect doubling the processing required.

With the EA attached to blank chart, you can probably do 10 pairs. I would also suggest that you load multiple Clients, use 5 charts on each.

I use a quad core with 4 gigs, and I run 10 pairs per client per broker and i test against 4 brokers total of 40 pairs overall all.

Hi! It is very difficult to me to understand options EA 1.11. Tell please on what TF it is necessary to establish EA? And please give working set file for the broker with 4 digits. Thank you!

i have 2X e4300 and running 5 terminals with blank charts only EA
4 pairs (majors) on each= 20 per computer

today i will run it on Q6600 8gigs with better DSL connaction

i didnt work on my problems with SL TP based on ATR but gonna figure out it soon.
MAybe we should gather all ppl who run live/demo testing and find best settings for each timeframe.

All i can say today
15min charts with basic settings is a disaster
1H was very sexy until today...
5min charts very well but you need bigger account coz sometimes you need monay for 30-40 open orders (10 per pair) and making limit on maxorders is not good idea.

and idea for all systems

never trade on monday...
