Bdfxer:

It appears to me that you have fractal indicators on your chart. I am not seeing these with V5. Have you added an indicator to the chart?

T
U are correct, and also as mentiond by seller9, its just the regular fractal indicator attached with the chart, to see if it's really using the fractal hi/low as it's S/L..

I got a question, in the chart...eur got a good cross on h4, but TMA d1 is green, is it because TDI has not crossed down in D1 TF ?, if not why TMA d1 is green, pls. let me know.

I hv been thinking about this, but did not post so far.

In the manual system, I did enter several times in eur and gbp. What I look for as a trade signal is this,

TDI is crossing down(short) or up(long). also TDI must have divergence in the last 1 or 2 highs or Lows. Fractal high/low are the same.

In the current situation I'm short eur from 4527..check out the chart. the second vartical red line. Look at all the div. happening in TDI. I did made some decent money this way in the last couple of months with only TDI and TDI divergence. Exit already in your EA TDI flat or

ok, MORE...I entered with Mkt order. Enter on the close of TDI cross candle. Div. must be happening prior to TDI cross. Currently close of last TDI crossing candle was 4529x..my broker gave me price 4527 while entering short.

Also, I think Slope h4 is an exellent idea along with, TMA H4 Zone red/green. But trying to confirm trend change with TMA d1 is too slow for my likings...I hv checked in most cases where I hv entered..D1 probably was in the opposite....just a thought.

Do u think it is good to add this with your fine EA ?

THANKS

another question:

What got you out of the trades? TP, SL, reverse cross tdi.
Totally there were 8 trades with 3 losses. All the losses were due to cross of TDI. PT, which was set by 100 ATR, got me out in profit.
Since the fractal stop was not always right, so I manually move the stop to the nearest pivot, so far none was hit.

To keep the risk in $ constant, please consider to add a MM option to work out the lots based on % risk and SL size.

Thnaks,

@fxarcher

I think you could also do different magic numbers for each instance of the EA, and then make sure these magic numbers are displayed on the statement. You can then copy and past the trades into Excel and separate out each magic number so you can see the trades it took.
Thanks Invisible
How can I get the Magic Number into the statement?

You can turn off TMA D1 by setting UseCounterTrend to true.

This setting only removes the TMA D1 trigger from the mix.

TMA D1 is the Trend of the Middle Line of TMA on the D1 time frame.

Check your D1 chart and you will probably see that TMA D1 is going up.

Thnaks,
If the last fractal has not formed yet that either higher or lower than the present price the EA will use the SLmultiplyer to calculate the Stop Loss. Otherwise at times you could get an error when sending the order of "invalid stops"

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.
Thanks for your help!

One trade taken so far, I am trading the London and part of the NY session.

My hours are CST so I have the hours set to 1 - 11 and 12 - 12.
TPmultiplyer set at 200.
Exit on last farctal high(SL), or reverse cross of TDI.

Will see what happens, the trade is still open.

The shaded areas on the chart show my trade sessions.

My trades for Jul 5 were all messed up because I turned the TradeOnce to false. It produced hundreds of losing trades on AUDCAD. I did this because I try to avoid the need to turn the EA back on manually.

So never turn off TradeOnce !!!

After watching this EA traded in the last few days, I feel that it got potential if the settings are right. Right now I leave it running 24 hours on 18 pairs with Factal on, SL and TP = 0, ATR Multipler 50 and TDICrossOnNeg on. Will report results on a daily basis.

Hi Seller9, when TradeOnce = true, is it possible to code the EA to resume trading automatically on the next bar after the exit of the current trade? Now, I have to manually to turn back on the EA, which may miss some trades unless I am always around. Just a thought !

Have sorted out the erroneous trades generated by setting TradeOnce = false setting, it was a good day for this EA:

total trades 14
profit trades 6
pips gained +68 pips

Will continue to run at the current setting.

My EA did not take any trades until I turned CriminallsECN to true.
I am on FXDD.
It took a GBPJPY trade after that for plus 24 pips.
Settings are strictly Default.
Hope that helps

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...
thanks for the info. finally got it to run but still no .mq4.

the same here for me ! No trades at all .... it seems, that this EA has to much filters looking for the best trades ... so far so good ... but filtering to strong and to much of course must lead at the end to no trading - or nearly no trading -

On the other hand ... allowing counter trades often results in losses

So - unfortunately I'm a bit confused what to do ...

Finally found settings that caused the EA to trade, today 4 trades were placed and closed 3 losers and 1 winner with a net small loss.
