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...
Hi,
Did you check this setting with strategy tester or on an demo account?
I ran it on demo but no trade so far.
I really like to test this EA but I can not move on from the first step, would you please sent me your actual setfile, I don't know what to do.
Tell me if you think of any other problems. Thank you

I tested out tread's set file on a live account it works fine.

I changed the set file because I want to use it, but not with the M30 time frame, also I want the slow trix going in the same direction as the fast trix.

The configuration I am using is 3 Trixs (M5, M15,H1)
Fast Trix Direction - 1000
Slow trix Direction - 1000

I would love to back test this on the 5 major pairs but this EA when backtesting users all my resources and takes for ever. I am hoping that somebody with a high end processor could back test it here and post the reports. I have included the template and set file in the zip below.

Hi neild,
The EA works fine with the default setting and even with my previous settings that I showed in my previous posts, even the results were somehow good(see post #3522), but I got confused with different setting and I decided to go on step by step, so I decided to just check the MTF TRIX signals but I can't run it, everything seems to be in order, even Tread said he tested it with my setting and it worked, I don't know where the problem is. Thanks
Edit: Anyway your setting is not so different from mine in the beginning, my problem is when the condition is met and I see four green or red lights on the MTF TRIX indicator, the EA doesn't take the trade, does your metatrader take the trade with this setfile that you sent properly? I would be very much appreciated if you can help me out with this thing. You can see my setfile in post #3539

This is the result of your setfile on 18.01.2011 on eur/usd 1min. I just changed the lot size to 0.1
Tell me what pairs, what timeframe, what date, I'll do it for you.
My setting is also working on backtesting, I'll demo it in the coming week. I also added 100M1 to MTF TRIX dot#5 in my setting.
I'll show my results later.

Hi Shakeyiu,
I think your setting is taking too many trades, try to change your rules to minimize the number of trades, this is my own opinion, because with an EA you don't need to be in front of the monitor all the time so you can leave it and let the EA takes stronger signals. I just take trixes into account and my setfile takes not more than 3-5 trades daily.
I'm trying to make my setfile step by step, for example for now I'm trying to decide on just MTF TRIX, the results are somehow good, but I've just tested it on few days and I should test it more, I'll send some reports soon.
If you have any idea I'll be happy to hear, thanks.

Hi exking, thanks for running that set file for me, wish I had a good laptop, so I could do backtesting without having my computer crash.

In regards to the question about MTF TRIX indicator, I used to use it but when I went back and looked at the trades I found that it re painted so I stopped using it. I am now using the pipware dashboard which has helped my trading immensely and is a great replacement for the MTF trix indicator (just my opinion ofcourse).

I think your set file is fine and you have given me an idea of a new way for me to use the EA, so hopefully you will be able to run the set file for me when I work it all out.

I know that this EA was designed for scalping but i want to try something and hopefully somebody can backtest my set files for me.

I am looking at the 1H timeframe on the Euro/Usd and i thought maybe I could use this EA to get a good entry point for a longer term trade.

So if someone can test the two set files it would be great, then post the results (because my computer hates back testing this EA), one uses the MA setting the other one doesn't

Timeframe 1 Min
Only LONG TRADES
Date 13th - 20th Jan
Pair Eur/Usd

Will add a screen shot to show why I am choosing that date and direction of trade. the dark blue and light blue cross, the light blue is moving up so i only take long trades.

Thanks exking for the links, going to check them out now.

I can't believe how slow my computer is when backtesting this EA. I knew it would take me for ever to backtest this from the 13th of January when the cross happened on the above chart I posted, so i just started from the 17th of January so far it has been running for half the day and its upto the 19th about 20.00 hours. So it placed 3 trades 2 were completed before i stopped the tester one was still going so the 2 that were completed grabbed 130 pips the one still going would of not hit the TP at close of trade friday, but i think at close of trade it should be around 80 pips up, so even if the trade goes backwards it will not be a losing trade as the trailing SL will close it in profit.

I thought I would post this to hopefully entice somebody to do the back test from the 13th.

I'm running your setfile and mine on two metatrader and it gets a little slower.
I'll post the result as soon as it finished.
I'm running the "thv-ea-long" of yours, so you can check the other one.

Here is my result of 17-01-2011 to 22-01-2011 (last week).
I was using just "MTF TRIX" : 5min fast, 15min fast, 30min fast, 1h fast.
I used:
TakeProfit 40
StopLoss 15
TrailingStop 5.5
TrailingStart 23.5
22 trades taken, 13 win, 9 lose, 201.5pips net profit.
You can see other details in the setfile attached below.
Anyway I'm going to check the time of the trades to see how it is during different sessions, and I'm going to check the TP, SL and TS, for example if I change the SL to 18pips it would save some of the losses but I should check it overall, after that I'm going to check the Ichimoku with it.(I accept any suggestion for the next step)
If anyone gets any improvement with the setfile or have any suggestion, please tell me.
Thanks alot

Hi Exking would the result have less losses if you set SlowTrixDirection=1000 or would it cause some of your winning trades not to be taken.

Since the positions basically are based on higher time-frames I think it would cause to lose some good trades or late entry, I think some of the losses can be ignored if we just run it during London and US session.
I can try it anyway, but the results are good at this point, don't you think so?
Your result would be ready in an hour I think, if I was home I upload it immediately.

Thanks for backtesting for me.

Your results are fine, I would be happy if it was a live account. Its a great test, I am sure once you look at it in more detail you will be able to tweak it to rule out the few bad trades you did get.

Thank you,
here is your result, are you sure of your setting? if yes I'll run the "thv-ea-long-ma. I'm waiting to get your answer. I just changed the lot size.

Hi exking thanks for running that for me, don't worry about running the other set file, that was more of an idea I had. I think I am going to go with the small SL and TP like you have and use my above template for manual trading only.

Now the markets are open I will run the EA on a demo account for the next 12 hours. I will share these results with you.

Here is the backtest result of Tread'sMTF set and start from 2010.11.27 to 2010.12.07.....

It's very slow as I had run for 2 days....

The trading session in this set is 00002400 but -53pips
If I use execl to filter out the trading session by 07001700 (London & NY), it made +34pips

Still testing... thx all!

Hi Tread or anyone else with good knowledge about this EA, is the THV trix Version 5.00 monoriting this setting on the M1 (this is the timeframe i have the EA on)

The Manual


TrixOverboughtOversold: Long trades are opened if fast trix is below overbought level, short trades are opened If fast trix is above oversold level.

TrixOverboughtLevel: Overbought level of fast trix.

TrixOversoldLevel: Oversold level of fast trix.

For example, to identify the proper TrixOverboughtLevel / TrixOversoldLevel, load trix to your desired pair/timeframe, where the EA will be running. Check the overbought / oversold level displayed by trix, and enter those values in these settings. For M1, most of the pairs had overbought / oversold level as : 0.00011/ -0.00011, this could be different for M5 or M15.

EA settings (Now)


TrixOverboughtLevel=0.00009000
TrixOverboughtLevel,F=0
TrixOverboughtLevel,1=0.00009000
TrixOverboughtLevel,2=0.00000000
TrixOverboughtLevel,3=0.00000000
TrixOversoldLevel=-0.00009000
TrixOversoldLevel,F=0
TrixOversoldLevel,1=-0.00009000
TrixOversoldLevel,2=0.00000000
TrixOversoldLevel,3=0.00000000

EA settings
(I think it would be better if I change the above to this below, to be safer, that is if the THV trix V5 is being used)

TrixOverboughtLevel=0.00010000
TrixOverboughtLevel,F=0
TrixOverboughtLevel,1=0.00010000
TrixOverboughtLevel,2=0.00000000
TrixOverboughtLevel,3=0.00000000
TrixOversoldLevel=-0.00010000
TrixOversoldLevel,F=0
TrixOversoldLevel,1=-0.00010000
TrixOversoldLevel,2=0.00000000
TrixOversoldLevel,3=0.00000000
