THV MTF EA beta testing

Hi. First thanks for the lot of work you do here, expecialy the crew.
Usually i dont like and use EAs, and the THV System was my first trade system i ever used. Normaly i trade manually,
but the THV System is a great addition to my trading. i use it more to discipline me and canalize my trading
than as a real trade system that i follow blind and wait only for him to say me what to do.

So the THV EA is the next logical step, and i will give it a try.

I dont know how the EAs are usually constructed,
but i noticed this one has realy a lot of setup possibilities,

Thats a 'problem', but thats also the biggest advantage.
In my oppinion, this EA could/can make profits but you have
to know exactly what you do and what you adjust where..

And you have to fully understand the manual system first,
to know whats behave which way when you setup it.

If you dont make steady profits with the manual THV,
you dont need to think about EA..

Started yesterday to install and configure it.
In the next days i will make me a overview about the stage of affairs
and looking forward to fully participate here.


Ps. i think i will have some newbie questions at the beginning, so dont wonder

Good luck all..

Ps2. I noticed, reading the manual again and again is crucial
and a lot of questions are answered there. Its well documented.
Please keep it up to date.

Hi everybody,
I installed windows 7 and now my EA doesn't take any trade, it works properly but even with previous preset files it doesn't take any trade, what do you think is the problem?
  • #3,604
  • Jan 27, 2011 3:42pm Jan 27, 2011 3:42pm
Any errors in the Journal/Experts Tabs?

1.) Also double check that the option to allow the EA to trade is turned on under the Common Tab for the EA

2.) Also make sure that Metatrader is set up to allow EA Trading


I am running win7, no problems.

Thank you Tread,
does the v1.134 work by itself or should I install the v1.132 exe file and then v1.134 will work?
because when I install v1.132, it reduces my speed in back-testing, do you know why?
and all I have in my journal is "Trix eur/usd,5M: loaded successfully", and it's repeating every minute.

Run the installer 1st, it copies all the necessary files aside from the EA, 1.34 is just a EA upgrade. I'll get around to repackage the 1.34 as a standalone this weekend

It worked, the problem was in the tools/option/...
But still when I uninstall v1.132, v1.134 doesn't take a trade by itself, am I right?
Is there anyway I can solve this?

Thank you Tread, you're great.

wow
how fast you answered
it seems that without v1.132 it goes very much faster, but I think if you repackage it, the speed reduces again, if not it would be amazing.
Thanks again

Thats cool. My first EA trade !

Installed it yesterday, took the m1 *.set standard configuration
and changed only the GMT Server Time.

5 hours Tokyo Session, no trade, today also running it few hours and, finaly a trade.

http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/5...irsttrade9.png


Exact the opposite as what i had done with the manual THV.
Did not changed anything exept GMT and result: 30 pips - at one trade.
And there was 4-5 other great trades in the last 2 hours but no stirring from the EA side.

Look at the chart, its a perfect THV run, like from the textbook.
Made pips in the last hours. (of course having my Think or Swim Fibonaccis and Res/Sup lines)
And the EA makes 30 pips minus. And goes long where it has to go short.

I dont blame the Ea, thats the first trade with raw setup.
It is more a perfect example about know what youre doing.
It will be interessting to see what went wrong and where was the fail and the false setup.

Again, thats a perfect example about starting in EAs and making loss at a easy trade.
At the chart i posted, i see at least 5 trades with a lot of pips.
Why the EA dont see it. The fail is so clear, there must be a learning effect.

mh, have to have to analyse the parameters exactly.
Have to admit, i think yes, but i cant find it.
Are the daily pivot considered?

You would need to check the timezone of the PC on at work and cross reference with the one at home.

Go to the control panel, Time and Date Settings.

The EA handles the syncro with the Calender, you should not need to change any settings.

Check the Expert/Journal Tabs for errors

Today THV EA fired an other trade on AU:

http://img375.imageshack.us/i/m5audu...7125close.gif/http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/7...57125close.gif

Trade was fired when all trixes were in agreement.
How could i change the set file to make it open a trade
while crossing a coral with a consistent trix cross?
  • #3,614
  • Jan 28, 2011 6:21am Jan 28, 2011 6:21am
Hi

For the Coral you would need these setting to simulate it:-

PriceCrossMA= 2000
MA_Trend=False
MA1Period1=60

Also consider the below to reduce false signals

MinCrossMAPips = What it the minimum distance above/below so you want it to trigger (to avoid those times when price rides the edges of the coral)
MaxCrossMaPips = What is the max distance above (to avoid spikes)

For the Trix option you would need
FastSlowTrixCross=2000


However read this post:-
http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=3597


You should try to optimise the trix settings instead of trying to use the existing. Longer experience has taught me that one settings will not work for all.

High Volatile pairs use the existing settings, since it was designed for the EU.

For less volatile pairs, try smaller settings.

Try to get the Trix Cross to work is a good idea as it will get you in at the start and avoid those entries where you get in to late

here is a trade which I took on the demo account which got me 25 pips, I have placed two trixs to show the differance. The bottom one is set at the standard THV setting, the top one is set at what tread suggested for the GU.

Tread if i misunderstood what you said with the settings please correct me, as I am using the top adjusted trix on the GU m15 to take EA trades.

Yes, I would take the entries of the the top trix, notice that when you compare both crosses the 14/21 give earlier entry with relatively little increased risk.

See Attached. GU has been very profitable today so far. Taking the earlier crosses gave me an additional 70pips than if i had been using the 20/35, i would not have gotten.

One trade I got a early cross while the 20/35 gave none...that netted me about 28pips. 2 later trades i got in at 10 pips earlier that the 20/35 trix.

Now this is not to say there are no risks, but when the market is trendy like this, it is excellent(14/21) at getting in earlier. When the market is not trendy you ca get killed, but that is what the other filters are for.

Now trying to get common with all the parameters and backtesting the last Friday.

Question

Strategytester: Do i have to check some boxes of the variables at the ExpertSetup/Input when i load the EA set file ?

Thats led me to another question. Is there a actual set file with which i could start. I use the thv132_m1.set file from the presets folder.

Hi Tread,

I am running the THV EA version 1.134 on a demo account for quite sometime now and the result seem to be OK (at least for me) on EUR/USD pair 1 minutes chart. I want to test another set file using one MA as the filter along with other filters that available in version 1.134. I know I could use just one MA to filter a trade in this version already but I can't alter the MA settings. I would like that option to be available if possible? Thank you very much.

Hello Night

To use one MA as a filter, you would need to use these settings:-

PriceCrossMA= 2000
MA_Trend=False ....(this is to use multiple)
MA1Period1=60 (set to whatever MA period you need)
