sometimes trix arrows do play up

i'm switching between 2 different pages constantly, this seems to have the effect of refreshing trix each time, so try this and see if an arrow appears

if it doesnt, i cant explain it, but Gleneagles might know why

and your settings look right


Quoting sidefx
....odd, i'm missing your last trix arrow up on GU, is this down to broker difference do you think, or is it a repainting issue?

sorry i cant be of more use

if u keep "missing" arrows, delete the indi and start again using the one i posted earlier, it hasnt given me any problems

and yes, i guess slight changes in data b/w brokers could be a cause

A very simple trix set-up that any one can spot.


Pivot Trend Trade

1] market structure (MS) = pivot trend

2] trix arrow

3] parallel analysis support is advantageous but not required

4] open @: trix arrow, autopivot, MS, or pyramid

5] SL @: cash stop -30, MS, set-up failing

6] close @: autopivot or MS

7] news >60mins

8] trade London or US session

Channel Break Trade

* This set-up has greater probability of success when the other pairs are in synch (see top chart); when they arent in synch (see bottom chart), they are less likely to succeed.


1] trix arrow

2] market structure (MS) = break out of channel

3] parallel analysis support is required

My objective with this Trix strategy has been to develop a simple, yet profitable way to trade.

Whilst I believe Trix can be quite straight-forward, the catch is, it still requires experience in order to wield it effectively over an extended period of time. Unfortunately, it is not a “recipe”……..if this happens do this!

Nevertheless, these are the demo results for the week, after strategy tweaks applied:

Tues: +170

Wed: +142

Thurs: +60
http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=1059
http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=1062


Of course the strategy needs a bigger sample period, not to mention application without convenient tweaks, as well as a money account not demo, before I can be confident.

Nevertheless, the tweaked strategy as it presently stands warrants further testing.

I like some of the things you are doing with Eagle Flight.
Just got done re re re reading the thread. Will start again Monday

Got a better understanding.. I was doing pretty well but got off in another direction. Need to get back to basics and playing the dustbin trades


On the 5mn TF i have 60,15 roy 60

will experiment with 15 min TF 240,15 roy 240


I saw in 1 of your post the smMTF... set as 60,15,15

What does the extra 15 do should it not the the same as 60,15

I played with it on the chart and did'nt notice anything

Hi dryclean

I think you can use just 60,15; compare it to 60,15,15 and see if you get any difference.

IMO, the key to successfully using trix is reading market behaviour; ie. you cant blindly trade every trix signal, the signal must be interpreted within the context of market structure, price action etc.

I think it’s certainly worth exploring trix, and Gleneagles seems to have great success with it, so that’s encouraging. See if you can entice him back to the thread, to reinvigorate it.

Good luck with your trading.

I have used updatestops.ea to close out my trades. But I just can not get it to work with Alpair for some reason maybe they went 6 digit...
I don't get how caveman works

Can some one attach a set file for caveman or what ever other ea you are using to get out a trade. I open positions either 0.3 or 0.03 and close 50% then 30% then 20% .15 .1 .05 is how it mainly goes

Thanks

Good Day dryclean ... do you have the PDF that shows you how to configure caveman? I have that and also the caveman .exe if that is what you need. Also have 2 indies from gleneagles called glenbuy and glensell.

Sorry but I guess I am not sure what a set file is? Please explain and if I can or do have it I most certainly will post it.

Thanks for the updated buy sell files too

ok go to your chart that has the caveman ea on it
hit F7 key go to input tab press the save button give it a name

then upload the file you name from your computer

example: Crogram FilesMeta Trader 4 FinFxexpertspresets

(meta trader 4 finfx) is what ever your sub dir is this is mine

NOW HERE IS THE PROBLEM you can not upload a set file you must either make it a zip file or rename it to xxx.set to xxx.doc or xxx.txt

stupid but it is what it is

you could e-mail me privately [email protected] with the file as a set
