You have a conflict on the Trix

FastSlowTrixCross=2010
FastTrixDirection=1010 <<<<<< (1)
SlowTrixDirection=2010
FastTrixZeroLevel=0000
TrixOverboughtOversold=0000
TrixOverboughtLevel=0.00009000
TrixOversoldLevel=-0.00009000
MTFTrixDot1=2010 <<<<<< (2)
MTFTrixDot2=2010

Yoy did not specify a Time Frame for the Trix (2) so it defaults to current, and the this is different from the setting at (1) .....remember the 4 Digit is to Set the timeframe you want the signal on. example ...201M15

Also

ePeriod1Type=15
ePeriod2Type=0
ePeriod3Type=15
ePeriod4Type=0
ePeriod5Type=0
ePeriod6Type=0
ePeriod7Type=0
ePeriod8Type=0

ePeriodTypes can be 1 or 0 to set to Fast Trix or Slow Trix..... 15 has no meaning to the software.

Tred, another question. what is the difference between: 0 means a fresh signal should
occur and: 2 means a fresh signal of this particular condition is an
absolute prerequisite

When I try to backtest a setting other than 0 for min ATR no trades are taken. Is that something I can only test live? Also, when you perform a backtest does it take into account news (if you have true selected for news) and does it also automatically recognize what time zone you're in (again, if selected true)?

Thank you. Really enjoying working with your 1.12 set, Tread.

Unfortunately the back test does not take into account the news.

With regards to the time, it pulls the broker time, and the timezone regardless.

Screenshots is disable in backtesting, this will be turned on in the next release.

What values are you using for the ATR?

I have tried 0.1 for minATR and have also tried 1.0. Neither will give any trades.

Try using an Indicator an exit and not just using the stoploss .... Like 210M5


Also Backtest using the "Tick version" for better accuracy

This would mean that is price cross the coral on the M5 Chart exit trade ... just an example, you would have to play with it .... even the Slow Trix on M5

Those would be way to high. here is the best way to do it. Bear in Mind each pair has it own Unique ATR

Load up a chart ..M1 is the EA is residing on it.... Add the ATR indicator .... determine the period of "rough patchiness" that you want to avoid... draw a line down to intersect the ATR indicator, where it intersect is the MinATR ...check out the drawing attached ....working on using this as percentage in the future, but for now it is manual

Tred and how would you exit? on indikators. not on the trailing stop.
Ozma it would depend on the pair... for the EA, try a high SL and use the Indicator (use a higher time frame) also as an exit... trailing stop is always on ... need to protect the pips.

A couple of post back i went into some detail on the fresh signal, just search the thread for it.

For the guys that have been following on the THV Thread, you know how important S&R lines are, try using the Pivots as part of the process also. Look for post by Pipsifiy, he posted a set file that you can use for comparison.

Ozma, will not be able to test the file for a while, will test it later tonite.

With regards to the inputs you have

MTFIchimokuDot3=010M1

Means you are using a fast Trix on the M1 for Exit. and you are on the M5 Chart, I think you may get exit quickly, have you run this, or backtested to see how often you get In and Exit??

Tread Sorry, I did not understand well, I attached my parameters to rectify them yourself on the values that you consider appropriate.
Thanks


Perdon Tread, no he comprendido bien, te adjunto mis parametros para que sobre ellos rectiques tu mismo los valores que consideres oportunos.
Gracias

Instead of the report, post the Set File, will be easier to look at
