Hi Seller9,

first of all, thank you very much for your work.

After installed the V9 version with DB_V9 and all run very well, I've noticed that DB_V9 doesn't save pairs and path. So, when I start again DB_V9 all fields are blank. Have I done something wrong?

I had some possible bugs today with V9, I've PM'd seller about them so there unconfirmed at the moment, but to be safe if you haven't upgraded to V9 yet i'd advise possibly sticking with V8 for now until Seller can confirm whether there's a problem or its just my system.

When you restart the DB you need to select the config file you want to use as you could have created several different ones. So the DB is always blank when restarted, click on the config file name from the pull down and your settings should come back as saved.

I have noted many users have difficulties installing the DB, here is my short explanation of how it is done.

Should you spotted any missing items, you are welcome to edit or comment on it.

Does this EA only trade after a confirmed TDI cross (e.g. it waits for the candle to close and the cross to be confirmed). I thought it did but since upgrading to V9 it seems to be taking trades on open candles before the candle has closed and the cross has been confirmed. I thought it might be problem with V9 so I went back to V8 but it still seems to be taking trades without waiting for confirmation (which it didn't seem to be doing last week). Maybe something got screwed up on my template, I might try starting over again.

Hello peeps,
Can we have more people reporting on results on this EA? I have had a couple of days of success; the only 2 losers (2 out of 9) were counter trend trades... I know they are more risky, but how is everyone else doing with these?
I'm gonna try to turn off counter trend and see what happens. I'd love to hear from others
Peace out

The EA only took one trade for me today (counter trending set to false). EURGBP at 10:09 GMT.

It appeared to take the trade on an open candle. I thought this EA has been setup to wait for the close over the EMA. If it had waited for the close of the EMA it wouldn't have traded this one.

Slightly confused, is it behaving as it should?

Very nice, I hate putting together a PDF to explain how to use something, you have done a very nice job.

One thing though, you may want to enter your PAIRs when you are doing your configuration for your Path etc before you hit the "Save" button, this way they will also be saved under that configuration. Of course you need to have the EA on the same PAIRs when using that configuration the next time. That way if you use the same PAIRs each time under that config setting you don't have to type them back in again.

Also I am working to see what happened in V9 and why some are having issues with it. Maybe best to use version 8 for now, as I will just create a new version 10 rather than redo version 9. So if anything else doesn't look quite right, please let me know.

What I do is set and watch the EA just before a new candle opens and see what the alerts are telling me and see if they agree with what they should be telling me. I watch for a manual trade and see if the EA agrees with what I think should be happening. This way I can tell if the Logic is correct, as computers seem to think differently some times.

I will be working on V10 it this week and cleaning up the code and making a few changes. Next week I will then test it before I release it. There will also be a new DB exe. also for it as I have added another alert column to it.

I think it is best to go back and use Version 8 for now. Looking at your screen shot I see the slope is 2.2 and you have it set at 4.0 in the settings but the bar for slope is "GREEN", it should be "YELLOW" as the slope is less than 4.0.

So some bugs must have gotten into Version 9.

Thanks Seller9,

I have noted this problem, as I hit the Save button too early. That's why I rush to put up an amended picture.

PS. I had a trade by V9 yesterday on EURGBP, it go Negative and have to close manually!

This is the losing trade on EURGBP.

I just realised a problem, after replacing all the V9 ea's from the chart with V8, you need to have Project1 in your C:TMS folder in order your DB can recall the data file.

Hi guys! I think this program is awesome and I really appreciate the hard work that some of you have really put in to share this with us.

I was wondering, as anyone had any trades in the past 24 hours with the EA? I've been running both version 8 & 9 on two separate computers with no trades. And yes, the EA is active on all charts and it's set to allow live trading.

Thanks Seller9 for answer quickly. Now I come back to V8 and continue the test.

Have a good day.

Yesterday was very flat - in my view the correct response from the robot should have been not to take any trades on the H4

Yep I'm in the same boat with V8. Consider myself a fairly experienced EA user, but I can't see the problem> No errors etc.. I have had the EA running since start of week.
I am thinking of starting a new platform with new install.
