Seller9,

Dashboard is Great. Thanks for all your work.


I have tried several pair on strategy tester & it must be really picky-thats good though, its what we want. It took one trade on EURJPY-profit- and nothing on XAUUSD-just tried that pair cause it moves..Tried other pairs and no trades.

Have 10 pair on Demo now, still nothing. Will check everything on my end a little more. Gonna shut everything down and restart...

Here is a trade that should be taken but for some reason it hasn't taken it. Can you tell me what I need to change for it to take the trade?
You have to turn the EA on to allow live trades..should be a smiling face at top right hand corner.

Although not displayed on your screen shot, I believe that the EA is also examining the calcualted slope of the TDI red Green cross. The TDI slope calcualtion is set to GT or Equal to 4.0. If you look at the TDI for the time slot you are indicating, the cross over is almost flat - therefor not meeting the strong cross requirements of the system.

To change the EA to allow it to take that trade, you would need to set the TDI slope paramater to zero.

This might be helpful analysis. In the following EURUSD chart, I probably would have taken a trade if I were following the system manually.
- strong TDI red green crossover
- time frame agreements
- 1st or 2nd blue candle after the 4H tick, preceded by a series of red candles.
- stochastic looking good.

Any discussion as to why the EA did not take the trade? Any discussion as to why the trade should not have been taken manually ?

i think it didnt take the trade due to the daily trend being down. from what i can see it will only take the trade on everything being in agreement. but looks good for manual entry. but be careful trading against the trend. maybe have a tight TP set.

seller9, could you code the ea so all of the options can be turned on or off so all of us "Test" traders have this option. I look at with 100-200 of us testing this ea it would give us unlimited settings to work with. I just want to "Thank You" for all of your hard work on this ea and with you and all of us traders will make it a profitable one...

Just my 2 cents worth, fxlakebum...

Did anyone get any trades today? I've got the EA loaded on ten pairs. No action today. I have not been able to watch the screens today so I do not know if there was a good trade that was missed.

Hello Everyone,

I had the EA on and put the time to 24hrs & it didnt take a trade. I have the smiley face too. Not sure what the deal is.

I reviewed my settings again and noticed that I had the criminals ECN set to "true". I just changed it to "false" to see if that has any affect. On the other EA that was originated by Steve Hopwood, I had to set it to true in order to get the EA to respond. This demo is with a different broker.

That is the only thing I could think of.

The D1 trend is down as shown by the red bars, stopping the trade.
Looks like it would have been a nice counter trend trade.

I may add that option as a selection to ignore the D1 trend if you want to go against it.

It is picky, I haven't gotten any trades yet either.

Looks like UJ maybe setting up for one, will need to watch.

Yes, this would have been a good trade going against the D1 Trend, I may add this option to ignore this D1 Trend if everyone thinks it will get us more trades without increasing the bad ones. This would be like a counter trend trade. There were a couple of these so far that proved profitable if they had been taken.

At this time I am only look at adding the option to turn off the D1 trend alert. I believe the other alerts are working OK, as I didn't see any other good trades other than the ones mentioned by others earlier due to the D1 trend keeping them out.

  • Jun 27, 2011 7:47pm Jun 27, 2011 7:47pm
Here is the one I am watching to see what the EA does with it. My candle closes in 24 minutes so will see what alerts are triggered.
I still need the TDI Cross and the slope to increase to at 4.0.
I also need stochastics to go below 80, as it is moving in the right direction.
Then it would just be a matter to wait for a TDI Cross in the M5 and we would get a trade.

What is the opinion of everyone on giving the option to ignore the D1 Trend, or maybe use something else. Right now I am using the D1 TMA center line to determine a long term trend.

Remeber with the configuration we now have I am only looking for the best trades that the Robot can make on its own. If you want to make manual trades, turn the robot off and just watch the alerts, this will be easier to do once I release the Dash Board.

If you want to see if the Dash Board will work for you, test it by setting it to true in the settings. Every chart you have the EA on should then write a file to the files folder located under the expert folder. These are text files and can be read with note pad. If they are not being written then you may as well find out now before I release the DB. Windows 7 is fussy about writting to folders under the Program Folders, you can try running MT4 as administrator. The best solution is just install MT4 under a different folder under the root drive. XP is not quite as fussy but you still may need to be administrator to write these files. So check this out and get it working now and I will probably release the DB towards the end of the week or on the weekend. This will save a lot of questions later on.

my candle has already updated. If I was trading this manually, it looks like a good trade to me even though not every indicator is in agreement.

The indicators are very valuable, if only for helping to evaluate the entry for manual trading.

Seller9,

I dont mind it being picky, if we dont get any trades, then thats money kept in the pocket. Just as long as were not still saying this next week, lol!!! I think that if the H4 & H1 are in agreement and everything else lines up except for the Daily trend, then we should still be okay. Lets see what happens tonight. Im gonna put up as many pairs as possible.

Thanks,

Dan

Hopefully the last update untill we can do some more testing.

I have added a setting to select if you don't want to use the TMA D1 Trend, set "UseCounterTrend" to true if you don't want to use this. It will still be on the chart but will be grayed out if you have this set to true. Set to false if you still want the TMA D1 Trend to be part of the alert.

I also found a slight bug where the slope number did not agree with the alert and I fixed it.

One other thing, the slope is the current slope at the present tick. If you watch the TDI indicator it may not change but look to have the same angle throughout the time of the candle. So you may think your suppose to have a Green or Red slope alert but the current slope says different.
