My broker needs SL and TP sent in a different order, and so I have set my CriminalsECN to true to accommodate this.
Hope that helps
Happy Canada Day to all Canucks here!!

Hi Leona,

Just want to ask yo,u how are you able to determine if your broker does need SL and TP sent in different order. What settings and how can one tell what thier broker require. I use alpari UK by the way. Unless you just try True or Flase on CriminalsECN and see which one lets you trade, is that correct??

How did that last trade of yours go from +37 pips

What TP and SL did you set on your systerm or did you let the TMS Tool determine for you?

Asking all this as I need to get mine working too. Will use it for when I am not on my PC and use manual mode for when I am around.

Thanks

thank you. i downloaded the .ex files but i didn't see the .mq4 files. i was looking on pg 8 for the .mq4. i am not sure where it is or if it automatic attach to the previous version (v3). it's faded gray and i know there got to be an .mq4. i appreciate the help, from what i read this EA is pretty solid and just need to be modify a little more and i hope to contribute too.

Have anyone been able to find the new version .mql4?

Hi there,

Okay, put on your Thinking Cap on lest ride this issue you have.

The Ex4 file is all you need for your purposes. If you then still need the MQL file for this. This is what you do, Put the EX4 file in the MT4 expert folder which I guess you have done already. Just have MT4 closed as you do this. Once you have placed the Ex4 file in the Expert Folder, you can still have the folder open, staring at your EX4 file and then start your MT4. Keep an eye on your EX4 file in the expert folder just as MT4 is starting up. Tell me what you notice will have appeard by yourt EX4 file. The MQL file you are looking for so badly will appear alongside the Ex4 file just like magic. MT4 creates that to read the EX4 file. So what that means is that you do not need the MQL file if you already have the EX4 file of an Indicator or EA.

Any else can correct me if I am wrong.

Hope that helps your situation. If you still have an Issue, just scream loud and hard at your screen and it will appear there. LOL only joking.

Trade safe and I will not have your pips, trade badly and your pips becomes mine.

over and out

TMS_V4 can be downloaded from the paper clip at the top right of the page. The .ex4 is the compiled version of the program, the only time you would need the .mq4 version is if you were going to make code changes to the program. The icon under the experts will be gray unless you have the .mq4 version. If you were to only have the .mq4 version when you would run the .mq4 version MT4 would create the compiled .ex4 version it needs to run. As long as you have the .ex4 version you are good to go.

Hi Seller9,
is it possible to have the option of the SL to be set to the last HH or LL swing? For exit, can it be anything worse than flat, like the inverse slope angle that we enter for example? So if we are long, exit if green goes south to 4-6 angle.
I have added some code so the SL would be based on the last Fractal High or Low plus a user selectable pip offset. I will need to wait until the market opens to see how it works before I release it.

I will add the negative slope to my to do list.

Edit: I just took a quick look at the code and the negative is part of the flat selection.

if(TdiGreenH1 <= PrevTdiGreenH1)CloseTrade = true; This for a Buy trade close.
if(TdiGreenH1 >= PrevTdiGreenH1)CloseTrade = true; This is for a Sell Trade close.

I am also working on a version that uses less triggers and is on the H1 time frame. I will be testing it next week using one version that trades with the trend and one that will take counter trend trades.

Kind of early but;
Anyone having any luck or are we wasteing our time?

8 trades for Jul 1, net -28 pip. Too early to draw conclusion. Also there are a lot of exit settings to be tested.

I have been running it with countertrend enabled so that I could see if it caught entrys. I do not have the info on number of trades in front of me, but TMS V4 did identify good entry points. It opened and closed trades, as you would expect. In the case of wins, using the ATR did not catch enough of the move to make it worthwhile. The losses, in my case, were from allowing countertrend trades. It is my plan to run this coming week with countertrend disabled, to see if I can catch the trend. I am also going to toy with the TP and SL settings to see if I can capture more of the move. I am going to do more research on the alternate SL methods that Steve originally coded into the EA.

In summary; We are not wasting time. Excellent indicators, identifies very good entry points, a little fine tuning needed to adapt to personal preferences, perhaps a few enhancements in the future. That dashboard you teased us with would be a great addition. I have set this on 23 pairs to exercise the system. I'm sure you can imagine the tedium of scrolling through 23 charts to check on the progress ....

You have my personal thanks for the programming work.

hi, seller9

many thanks for great job and sharing.
The TMA indicator is repaiting in the chart. Would you please think about TmaTure indicator. It is pitty that I do not have the mql file.
Would it be possible to set TP and SL in a OrderModify sentence after OrderSend?

So strange that I have the same setting as your and for the 12 last hours of the forex market my EA does not put any trade..

I let it run on all big pair , EUR/USD; USD/JPY; USD/CHF; AUD/USD; GBP/USD, USD/SING.. totally 6 pairs in desktop. The same and plush oil pair were ran in laptop.

I saw some entries but EA did not. Both my laptop and desktop were silent..

I was on Demo forex.com

What may I have gone wrong? Why your EA did trigger and mine does not.

Any advice are appreciated

It is kinda early, however, I am experiencing luck with my trades using this system and watching my trades closely, albeit I haven't monkeyed with many of the settings to see if more pips in profit could be gained, will do that as I progress to the bank with my wheelbarrow full of pips!!
I am not confident enough in the system to set it and let it run, so I do rise in the night for each candle close.
I really like weekends now -- chance to sleep in and catch up on family life

Thanks for all your work on this, have gleaned much.
hope this helps

Hi Leona,

Just want to ask yo,u how are you able to determine if your broker does need SL and TP sent in different order. I knew this from my manual trading before. I attempted to send all the order at once, SL and TP included -- it did not recognize, so I send as 2 orders. What settings and how can one tell what their broker require. I use alpari UK by the way. Unless you just try True or Flase on CriminalsECN and see which one lets you trade, is that correct??

How did that last trade of yours go from +37 pips The last trade I closed at 97 pip profit (when it started to retrace), restarted the EA and it immediately entered the trade again. That trade I manually closed at +21 pip profit and closed EA for the weekend.

What TP and SL did you set on your systerm or did you let the TMS Tool determine for you? I use the default SL and TP, I will play with it a bit more once the weekend is over.

Asking all this as I need to get mine working too. Will use it for when I am not on my PC and use manual mode for when I am around. I use it while watching it right now, to ensure all the settings are as I like. So far, its a good EA, minor tweaks will make it perfect. I am thankful for all the work done on it.

Thanks

Seller9,

You have done some great work with this EA that I am very thankful for. It is well worth it. Please stay with it.

Im currently working on trying to figure out what the best settings are.

Ive tried default settings, BE settings & candlestick SL. Not sure what is the best yet. Im not crazy about letting it trade for 24Hr. Ive seen the market go long for two days, take a break, & the EA enters short, and then the market decides to go long again. Going to try & stick to Big E's time of when to trade.

This EA is really coming along, just need to work out what is best.

Thanks,

Dan

When people say the counter trend is set to true - does that mean they are putting both "long & short" on the common tab? Because I can't see anything like this in the inputs.

When counter trend is set to true, all that does is ignore the D1 Trend.
