Thanks again for the nice DB.

V8 opens my first trade. The symbol on the DB is highlighted 'Green' in the direction of the trend.

Got one that looks pretty good this morning. IT appears that the moon, stars, and indicators all lined up at 8 am EST today.

Update: This one closed for 26 pips. I have set the zoneMultiplier to 20; the BreakEven pips to 25 and the JumpingStopLoss to set only after break even has been set. Prior to this I was capturing 3-5 pips because the PA would move a few points and the JSL would move the SL to order entry plus 3 pips. then PA would reverse and I would get stopped out. In a few cases it saved a profitable move. In others it did not allow the trade to "breathe" enough because PA reversed again in my favor.

I got a nice 46 pips from a GBPJPY move today. It definately seems to be effective at picking out good TMS entries. I think the only question mark in my view is the R&R. I think BigE recommends moving your SL up to BE + spread at around the 25-35 pip mark and then just let it ride till it crosses back over or the green line hooks over. I've had good success too in the past by setting a loose 50 pip trailing stop loss.

Great work

V8 - counter trend trading turned off. - finished +80 for the day 4 winning trades, no losses. Not bad for a difficult trading day. It would be nice to have an option to automatically close 50% of the trade out when it hits the ATR TP and then let the rest ride with a loose trailing stop.

Hopefully I will get the next version out this weekend. I found a couple minor copy paste errors that may help get a few more trades.
Here is what will be in the new version.

1) email alert (Needs to be set up in MT4 to work)
2) Fixed the red/green DB window reset, so now the red/green background will clear if the Robot is restarted.
3) Changed SL to last lowest of previous 2 candles if nothing else is selected, everything set to "0" will activate this setting.
4) Added a period confirmation to confirm trade with higher time frame of the TDI. The default period would be weekly and you can either confirm with the weekly cross of the TDI or just the green above or below the red, your choice.
5) I have changed the Daily trend indicator from using the Daily TMA to an idea I picked up from the NanoBob H4 forum. You may want to go over there and have a look, it is part of his new version 10.0 which he is working on and he is using this new idea to determine the Daily Trend. I can always change it back to using the TMA or even give you a choice.
6) Added the options to take only Long or Short trades in the settings.

One thing I am thinking about but won't be in this version is a jumping Take profit. I think I may incorporate it into the Jumping trailing stop, so when the JTS jumps the TP would jump with it. Any thoughts on this????

Also I will look into adding the Broker to the Dash Board.

One heading on the DB won't match for now in the new version as I have changed the TDI H1 to TDI 10080 Confirm, I will change it in the next DB release. 10080 is the number to use for the Weekly confirmation of the TDI.

Good Luck

awesome additions, i am trying to focus on getting as much trade as possible on the EA. i absolutly believe you made something indispensable. this EA is rock solid when its in a particular setting. a minimum of 20 pips a day is excellent. the loss is pretty much minimize based on the setting, the entry is near perfect,because the TMS system is only 70+ percent right. so of course the EA is not going to be perfect but dang you made it very possible to be better than the system itself. i am just trying to find that perfect setting where the EA makes a couple of trades everyday with profit of course.
Did you know the profiteers like their money green?

@Seller9

Thank you so much for your great work on this.

Just one thought: I can't see the point of a jumping TP. After all, if you want to try to capture the really big moves, simply set a huge initial TP and then let the jumping SL follow the trade until the trend runs out of steam and it reverses to hit the SL. For this reason I don't see why this additional feature needs to be coded as such.

Cheers

I agree with Invincible on this point, the JSL should be good enough for that purpose with a wider TP target already in place.

Will hold off on that change. V9 this weekend and we will see where we need to go from there.

Hello Seller9,

I appreciate your knowledge and work.

Please could you kindly make the first EA you made for this system to take trades only when 2 conditions are met ? i.e

1) fresh tdi cross
2) candle open above 5ma ( 5/3/simple/typical 2 )

I hope it is ok if i ask from this forum,because i can't pm you at the moment.

thank you.

OK, here is the next version with the changes. I have also made a couple minor changes to the DB so you will need to replace the .exe file with this new one. If you haven't installed the previous version 8 DB from the .msi file than you will need to do that first as it installs several DLL files that are needed by the DB, otherwise you may get DLL errors when trying to run the new version. Here are the changes.

1) Added an email alert so make sure you have your email set up in MT4 for this to work.
2) The Green/Red DB window alert will now reset when restarting the Robot if you click "yes".
3) Changed the SL to lowest/highest of last 2 previous candles if other options are set to "0".
4) I changed the "TDI H1" confirmation so now you can set a time period for this, it use to be fixed at "60" for one hour, now you can change it. So if you want to use a weekly confirmation set it to "10080". Also it use to confirm if the Green was above the Red for Long and Green below Red for Short of the TDI. Now you have the option to still do it this way or confirm only on the TDI Cross for the present candle of the time frame chosen.
5) Added the option to tell the Robot to only go Long or Short, set them to true if you want to trade both Long and Short.
6) You now can choose the TMA for your Daily Trend confirmation, just like before or you can use a new Daily Trend finder. Also when the TMA Trend is selected each alert square represents 5 days back so you are getting the changes in the TMA Trend over the last 45 days in steps of 5 days. Set "UseTMAdailyTrend" to true to use the TMA Trend just like in V8, if set to false it will use the NANOBOB 10.0 idea to find the Daily Trend. In this case it only looks back 9 days as each alert square represents one day. Green for Long, Red for Short, and Blue for rangeing. The new DB will also show a Blue "DOT" when rangeing if this mode is selected.
You can read about this method over on the NANOBOB H4 forum.

If you put the new DB .exe in the TMS folder where it should go you can still use your other config files that you may have created. If you created a short cut to the DB program just change the properties to point to V9 instead of V8.

Good Luck

Just found an error that when you click on the "Clr All" button in the DB program it still pointed back to the V8 version. Here is the corrected version V9.

I have changed it in the previous post so that should be OK now also, but if you downloaded it before I changed it you should download it again.

Sorry for the problem.
