If I use 100M15,...
then all the higher time-frames should have a closed candle isn't it so?
Not Necessarily, you can pull the open candle values from the higher timeframe. The close candle is to just pull non repainting data. you could actually go with something like this

for M5 Chart
FastTrixDirection - 1000
MTFTrixDot1 - 100M15
MTFTrixDot2 - 200M30
MTFTrixDot3 - 200H1
MTFTrixDot4 - 100M1

or for M1 Chart
FastTrixDirection - 1000
MTFTrixDot1 - 200M15
MTFTrixDot2 - 200M30
MTFTrixDot3 - 100M5
MTFTrixDot4 - 200H1

Hi exking thanks for that just got home and checked the EA the laptop hasn't been turned off yet. So the newest figure is 65 pips in profit from when i first started the EA on the demo account. The eur/usd and usd/chf haven't had a loss yet. I am going to go back and look at those losing trades and see if I would of avoided them if I had the M30 on the EA. Happy with the results for a first test.
Very Good, really good result on the first test,
But if you want to go back and look at the "MTF TRIX" on M30 notice that it may have been repainted due to the reasons I referred you to in the posts of the creator Misspips, so you may not get precise conclusion, so it's better to run it one more time with the new setting, which is something I'm doing all day to be sure.

So I ran the EA on a demo account for 14 hours, it took 6 trades, for the first 7 hours I only went with the Eur/Usd, I then added other pairs as a wanted to get more trades going. Anyway for my first test on a demo account with this EA it grabbed me around 45 pips for 14 hours. Will keep trying it on the demo account if I still gets good results, will put it on a VPS server and run it on demo for a whole trading week. The set file is in the zip.

So it traded through the London and New York session, will try and leave it on for the Asian session...

In you testing you should consider the price crossing the Ichimoku in the opposite as a possible exit.

Typically the Ichimoku provides a dynamic S&R zone, so price breaking this zone can be considered a change in position.

Thanks exking, yes the first thing I did was go to the MTF TRIX but yes I am not sure if it has repainted, I am now going to add the M30 to the pairs except for the Eur/usd, still happy with what I am seeing from the euro, with the aud/usd if that doesn't work I may scrap it and just trade the 4 pairs.

Hi Tread is this what you mean

PriceCrossIchimoku=0000

and what would be the best setting for what you are talking about

On what date you are checking them?
About the Ichimoku, the second digit is related to exit, you can choose 1 for a closed candle and 2 for unclosed candle, some thing like this: PriceCrossIchimoku 0100, for exit on a closed candle on current time-frame, but I'm not so sure about it, wait for Tread to answer.

thanks exking we posted at the same time, will wait for Treads feedback before I change those settings. We are certainly making this thread active.

This EA will end up on Clickbank soon if we make it to popular, wonder what name they will call it?

If on a M1 Chart I would use

PriceCrossIchimoku=0100 --- Once a M1 candle closes above/below the Ichi the position would be closed

Thanks tread going to alter the set files now, 4 pairs will have the MTFTrixDot3=200M30 and PriceCrossIchimoku=0100 added

The Aud/Usd which is the 5th pair is close to being scapped so I have made a last chance set file for that pair.

Tread: would you mind posting your current set for a 5min EU pair? What im intrested in is: trix settings (mtf, detection etc) + ichimoku. Im trying to test everything on a 15m TF since yesterday but i got just 2 trades wich where false alarms

Here is a sample - that by guessing is supposed to take signals securely

PriceCrossMA=0000

Hi,
i launched the EA yesterday morning on several pairs - while EU, UC and UJ are more or less successful - GU is not at all (3 trades and 3 SL hits)
Take a look at this:

http://img338.imageshack.us/i/31405726.jpg/http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/2369/31405726.jpg

my GU set file is attached.

The goal would be to enter less trades but as securely as possible. Any suggestions?

Cheers!

Made some modifications of the GU set:

iMaxCross=2000
FastSlowTrixCross=2000
FastTrixDirection=2000
SlowTrixDirection=2000
TrixOverboughtLevel=0.00009000
TrixOversoldLevel=-0.00009000
MTFTrixDot1=100M5
MTFTrixDot2=100M15
MTFTrixDot3=200M30
MTFTrixDot4=100M1
MTFTrixDot5=200H1
MTFIchimokuDot1=200M15
MTFIchimokuDot2=200M30
MTFIchimokuDot3=100M5

this (if I understand correctly) should consider less signals and focus on those consistent across indies.

Closed M1, M5, M15 MTFTrix and M5 Ichimoku
+ trix cross.

Hi blazko, I have found the same problem with the GU, thought it was just me.

The problem here it that not all pairs are equal..... what i mean is that the Trix (20/35 setting) is optimize for EURUSD and other pairs that move similarly.

In the pic attached looked at where the Trix Cross occurred in relation to the the entry....it was pretty far away. The Cross allows you to time the entry to get in as early as possible at the start of the move..... currently with the tri set to 20/35 you are getting in late.

My suggestion is that you try to optimise the trix setting...

1.) Find a good move on the GU (A nice 30 - 50 pip run)
2.) Adjust the trix settings until you get it to a point where the Cross signals a possible start of that move.
3.) Test and refine those settings across less perfect runs.

Stick to the ratio of 20/35 ... for example if you are using a 8 period fast trix then the slow would be appro 14.. so your new trix setting would be 8/14.

Another possible option is the use of Fibo numbers. 20/35 is close to 21/34 .... so for the GU you could try 13/21 (Smaller period = fast trix response)

Yes well I am feeling adventrous enough to run the EA on a VPS using my demo account, but not adventurous enough to use the reverse signal setting. Least now that I am using the VPS I can now do back testing and it doesn't take me half the day like it does using my laptop, but then again I guess I am still using my laptop, just not my processor.

Im not entirely sure if I understand what you are talking about, but will read more about trixes and maybe after that ask.

Thanks anyway! I do get the 3points so there is a starting point for the learning curve.
