Hello everybody,

I only have 2 short questions.

1. It is possible that they say the ea that after a long one has to come short?

2. It is possible that one after 10 pips profit a day the trade again until the next day takes?

Many thanks in advance for the reply.

Sincerely,
nelly

P.S. I've read all the user guides, but these points not found
Hi Nelly,
I don't understand your first question, would you explain more.
About the second question as far as I know this is not possible in this EA, you can just narrow down the times that EA is enabled to take trades. But I don't think that's a problem maybe Tread can do something about it or maybe you can use other EA's to do so, I'm not sure but I think that can be solved.
For now try to make a good setting, and help us with your ideas,
Good Luck

Hi Nelly,
I don't understand your first question, would you explain more.
hi exking, thank you for your helping!

i mean, if the 1. trade was a long-trade, the 2. trade must be an short-trade, the 3. trade must be long ect, ect. (long, short, long, short ....)

sorry for my bad english, but iŽam a german guy and i have only 3 years english in the school.

Can anyone help on the MA setting on 1.134 EA version?
I don't know how can I set for it?

13,21,34,55 mean the moving average for current TF? So it will make buy order only when above 13,21,34,55,89? Right??

But how about the sequence of these number matters?
I saw some setting is 60,13,21,34,55... Why??? (I know 60 is coral)


MA_Setting_Current_Period, MA_Setting_1st_Upper_Period MA_Setting_2nd_Upper_Period

What is the difference?



THX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


MA_Setting_Current_Period=----------------------------------------------------------------------
MA1Period1=13
MA2Period1=21
MA3Period1=34
MA4Period1=55
MA5Period1=89
MA_Setting_1st_Upper_Period=----------------------------------------------------------------------
MTF2ePeriod=5
MA1Period2=13
MA2Period2=21
MA3Period2=34
MA4Period2=55
MA_Setting_2nd_Upper_Period=----------------------------------------------------------------------
MTF3ePeriod=15

hi tread, installed all again, and made some tests last 2 days. i think i have a pivot server time problem. do you want the setfiles from trixs or from the Eas?

Could someone answer me, what are the right Pivot point Server time setups.


HrsServerTzFromGMT = -5 (for Oanda) and +1 (for Alpari)

i think thats ok, but how to configure the

HrsChoiceTzFromGMT = ?

Im from Germany, GMT +1 so the entry should be 1? Or ?
The manual says -8 ?

And what to choose, London Open or NY close for the daily calculations ??
How to opt out annoying user signatures ??

Question:-
13,21,34,55 mean the moving average for current TF? So it will make buy order only when above 13,21,34,55,89? Right??

Answer:-
Correct

Question: -
But how about the sequence of these number matters?
I saw some setting is 60,13,21,34,55... Why??? (I know 60 is coral) ------ Answer : -
This when you are only using the Coral Feature
Question:-
MA_Setting_Current_Period,
MA_Setting_1st_Upper_Period
MA_Setting_2nd_Upper_Period

What is the difference?

Answer:-
This is when you want to use the EMA in MTF mode, this allows you to set EMA on higher TF so you only trade with the trend.

so for example if the chart is on the M1, you can use the:

MA_Setting_Current_Period - to time the entry
MA_Setting_1st_Upper_Period - (to confirm the current trend)
MA_Setting_2nd_Upper_Period - H1 (to get the main trend)

THX Tread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and thx for the quick reply!!!!!!!!!

If my setting is 60,13,21,34,55 that means I only use 60 for MA filter, right?

Why I don't see on/off function for MA? Is that the MA(e.g. 60,13,21,34,55) is valid even the PriceCrossMA is 0000? How about MA_Trend = 0??

These setting mix me up... really sorry... becoz 1.132 doesn't have these setting......

thx again!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, you are correct, you need to set all of these:

PriceCrossMA= 2000
MA_Trend=False

I tend to use New York Close for these calculation.

Hi Tread,
I can't solve this: I want the EA to take the trade when "FastSlowTrixCross" happens when price already crosses the MA but when I change the fresh signal digit it filters out other trades.
And in this windows 7 when I save my setfiles, it shows them with a lock and I can't access them for attaching.
I attached the pic, thank you
I got the answer for the last question: I should go in as an administrator, I would be appreciated if you answer my first question, thanks.

This works for me... I m not close to the PC, but i will post a back test when i am back

FastSlowTrixCross = 2010
PriceCrossMa = 2000
Ma_Trend = False
MA1Period1=60

I use several brokers. However i know of the top that:-
FXCM and IBFX

Local - 0
Destination = -5

FXDD, MB and FXOpen, i'll check when i get home.

Make sure you account for DST if you are using NY Time

I think I get what you're saying, you say when the EA takes a long trade it should take the next trade only if it's short. First trade:long, second trade:short, third trade:long, forth trade:short,...
This is not possible, you can only adjust the EA to take only long trades or short trades or both, the sequence is not adjustable.
I woke up and got what you meant.

Hi everyone, I have been testing a few ideas and I came across one I like, so I back tested it. the back test got around 52 pips with no losses. This is only my first test so I am using big TP's and SL's and my safeguards are moving SL and an In profit SL.

The last thing I was working on was looking at manual trading the higher timeframes looking at the week trend, which somebody put me onto, no names mentioned they know who they are. In testing on a demo account and live account very nice results no losses, but it involves me being in front of the computer alot, I was doing this while I was on holidays. I am back at work now so can't trade that way anymore. That is why I am now here on this thread trying to put something togeather where I don't have to be monitoring the action all the time. I purchased space on a VPS server at a nice price, my old laptop now has a dual core processor and the fastest internet you can get. Joking, my laptop is still old and decrepid but the VPS has turned it into a top end computer.

So down to business, I am now running an the EA on a demo account Monday - Friday non stop.

I am using the M1 timeframe and the MTF Trix is 5m,5m,15m,15m,H1,H1,H4,H4 slow/fast. I am looking at only trading strong trends if the EA does its job on the higher time frames, with strong trends on the lower timeframes combined. I have included my set file and eu/us backtest and a screenshot below. At the end of the week SAT/SUN I will post my results from the demo account on the VPS and we can see if I have found something, if I haven't it will be back to the drawing board. I am currently running 9 pairs.

Please look over my set file and test, postive and negative feedback welcome, remember this is just my first test.

Hi, I'm not sure but it may work this way:
PriceCrossMA=1000
MA_Trend=true
MA1Period1=60
MA2Period1=0
MA3Period1=0
MA4Period1=0
MA5Period1=0

MA_Setting_1st_Upper_Period:
MTF2ePeriod=5 (I think this is the TF, which is 5min)
MA1Period2=60
MA2Period2=0
MA3Period2=0
MA4Period2=0

MA_Setting_2nd_Upper_Period:
MTF3ePeriod=0 (Here again you can add one more upper period)
MA1Period3=0
MA2Period3=0
MA3Period3=0

Again, I'm not sure about it, I hope it will work this way, check it and tell me the result.

Hi Tread and THV Test Crew,

attached some trades taken on M5. Seems ok but my gains are wiped out by my 1 or 2 losses.

Also entries are always too late and exits often too quick.

Attach also my set files.

Any input or help greatly appreciated.


Thanks for the good work. Rewards comming soon.
