Hi NightOwl

I am not close to the my system, but a couple of things to check:-

1.) Are you running multiple set files at the at the same time on the same pair? If so you need to make sure that the the magic number setting is different for each set file.

2.) Do not use the MTF Lights, because it repaints you can never be sure what the state was historically, instead use the MTF Trix i posted it earlier (you will actually see the trix form) and use this link for an MTF Ichimoku

3.) In looking at the cross, i noticed that the slow trix (M1) had just turned red, if the M5 trix was also changing color/direction at the same time you can get a sort of oscillation between red and green, the EA is probably seeing this as still green (load the chart with the trix, draw a line thru 4:27 and switch between timeframes, observe if the M5 trix is also switching from red to green.

I also noticed that you did not have the trix cross used, i would suggest that you turn on this feature since a cross would trigger regardless of the state of the trix.

hi everybody,
thanks for your reply tread,
I tested the EA with different setting, I''ll show the history but these are not the result of the full time testing, anyway I tested so many settings and I got confused, so I decided to go on step by step, I need a little help here, For example I want "MTF TRIX" with 5min fast, 15min fast, 30min fast and 1h fast, with a close candle on 1min chart, it means when we see 4 green or red lights on the MTF Trix indicator and a 1min candle is closed I want the EA to take the trade at the beginning of the next candle, so I put my chart in 1min and I entered these settings:
MTF dot 1: 100m5
MTF dot2: 100m15
MTF dot3: 100m30
MTF dot4: 100h1
ePeriod1Type:1
ePeriod2Type: 1
ePeriod3Type:1
ePeriod4Type:1
now I'm not sure with the third number, is it right? please explain a little about that fresh signal thing for me.
And is the first number in "MTF trix" related to closed candle on 1min chart or the selected TF?
And if I want to have the same setting on 5min chart, I should just switch to 5min?
Thanks alot

there is the possibility that someone helps me?

i want to go long when the cloud thv4 MTF indicator shows 2 green and short, when 2 red squares. long / short with the opening of the next candle.

1. whether it is an open position. if 2x green / red squares then to the opening of the next candle long / short.
2. if the last trade was a short trade, then the next trade must be a long trade, not again a short trade.

Open up the settings for the EA (press F7) after EA is on the Chart.

look for this section:-

MTFIchimokuDot1=200M5
MTFIchimokuDot2=200M15
MTFIchimokuDot3=0000
MTFIchimokuDot4=0000

Specify the time period (M5 and M15) and that should be enuff,

A manual was release a while ago. Also in the preset folder, there are some basic sets files to get you going.

Hi King

Sorry I missed this post...see answers below. Also, here is a link to the manual that has a lot more details and explanations of most of the functions


Question 1

For example I want "MTF TRIX" with 5min fast, 15min fast, 30min fast and 1h fast, with a close candle on 1min chart, it means when we see 4 green or red lights on the MTF Trix indicator and a 1min candle is closed I want the EA to take the trade at the beginning of the next candle, so I put my chart in 1min and I entered these settings:

Answer 1
MTF dot 1: 100m5 >>>>> 200M5
MTF dot2: 100m15 >>>>> 200M15
MTF dot3: 100m30 >>>>> 200M30
MTF dot4: 100h1 >>>>> 200H1
FastTrixDirection >>>>> 1010

ePeriod1Type:1
ePeriod2Type: 1
ePeriod3Type:1
ePeriod4Type:1

Use M5 not m5 to stick to the mt4 convention, just to be safe

Question 2
now I'm not sure with the third number, is it right? please explain a little about that fresh signal thing for me.

Answer 2
This means that if the signal occurred on the previous candle was false, and that the current signal on the current candle is true .... this is very useful when using the TrixCross entry

Question 3
And is the first number in "MTF trix" related to closed candle on 1min chart or the selected TF?

Answer 3
It is on the current TF

Question 4
And if I want to have the same setting on 5min chart, I should just switch to 5min?

Answer 4
Once the last digit is 0 the system will always use the current TF.

Thanks alot for your complete and detailed answer, I appreciate your help,
I think you didn't get exactly what I mean or maybe there's something wrong with my head, sorry to bother you but let me ask my question again:
I want 5min fast, 15min fast, 30min fast, and 1h fast for the "MTF TRIX", I want to check the chart on 1min TF, when on 1min TF we see 4green or red lights and 1min candle is closed, I want the EA to take the trade.
maybe you already answered me but just to make sure, because I'm checking it and it seems that something is wrong.
Thank you

Hello King

MTF dot 1: 200M5
MTF dot2: 200M15
MTF dot3: 200M30
MTF dot4: 200H1
ePeriod1Type: 1
ePeriod2Type: 1
ePeriod3Type: 1
ePeriod4Type: 1

The above sets up the Trix Conditions on the other timeframes

Now to trigger the trade on a candle close on the M1, we need to tag an event (indicator) on the M1 for the candle close. This is so because the EA was not primarily designed to work independently on candle formation, it has to work in conjunction with an indicator value

In the chart you posted, you would need to have

PriceCrossCoral = 1000 (the "1" signals to enter on close candle)

Also we need to have the Trix involved on the M1 since the Trix is at the heart of the trading. In your case, since the state of the M1 trix is not necessary, use the below as it will provide the EA with the necessary trix involvement, and yet not impact your trade.
:
FastTrixDirection = 2000

Dear Tread,
I did as exactly as you said but I got just one trade on 10 different pairs, although there were so many trading opportunity, different pairs don't need different magic number, right?
I don't know what's wrong.
I changed the fresh signal to:

MTF dot 1: 201M5
MTF dot2: 201M15
MTF dot3: 201M30
MTF dot4: 201H1

now I'm waiting to see the results,
I'm confused.

Hi King

Could you please post the entire set file you are using? I will test it out. The same magic number can be used. It is only when you using multiple Same Pairs, Same TimeFrames that you change the magicnumber

Hi King

I am not sure what is happening with 1.32... but there was some bugs that was corrected in version 1.34.

I had release version 1.34 which you can get here.

I tested out the configuration of 4 Trix (M5, M15, M30,H1) I use the M1 trigger as the Fast Trix Direction - 1000.

Attached is the set file for 1.34. even tho it it is a text file, it can be imported as a regular set file.

It got 4 trades in one day ...18/01/11, 60Pips, no loses .... attached is also the tester report...testing done @ 90% quality
