EURUSD Counter trend hit TP +20 pips
EURCAD Trending hit TP +20 pips
USDJPY Counter trend hit TP +20 pips
AUDJPY Counter trend SL -48 pips
All were long trades
Attached is my set file. I had a few trades yesterday that were also good, but had one that hit a SL of 120 pips... horrible. I changed the SL to a fixed 55 pips for all trades. Any thoughts appreciated.
On my Oanda platform it keeps taking duplicate trades for some reason, and today the FXDD also had a duplicate trade.. any thoughts as to why?
So far 100 pips net for past 7 days,...

I see you are using ECN. Is anyone else using ECN and getting duplicate trades?
I can check the ECN code and see if I see anything that would point to the ECN setting.
Is anyone getting duplicate trades who are not using ECN?
I don't use ECN and so far I haven't gotten any duplicate trades.
If you are getting a slow response from your Broker the EA thinks the trade didn't go through and sends another one.
Here is something from the original EA from Steve that may shed some light on dupes.
// O_R_CheckForHistory()
//
// This function is to work around a very annoying and dangerous bug in MT4:
// immediately after you send a trade, the trade may NOT show up in the
// order history, even though it exists according to ticket number.
// As a result, EA's which count history to check for trade entries
// may give many multiple entries, possibly blowing your account!
//
// This function will take a ticket number and loop until
// it is seen in the history.
//
// RETURN VALUE:
// TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise
//
//
// FEATURES:
// * Re-trying under some error conditions, sleeping a random
// time defined by an exponential probability distribution.
//
// * Displays various error messages on the log for debugging.
//
// ORIGINAL AUTHOR AND DATE:
// Matt Kennel, 2010

Another report, this one is my home computer, 8 trades, all winners... (Although there are 2 duplicates as I restarted the bot after 1st 2 trades were over) 20 pip TP on all of them. (EURJPY is 0.01 lot by mistake.. oops) anyways, my home PC took completely different trades than my work PC, (see my previous post) not sure why.
Could it be the ZoneMultiplier? I think these results below use a ZM of 20 and the previous ones were with 15. I read the manual, but still kinda foggy as to how ZM setting affects entries. Does the EA look at the top and bottom TMA lines and only takes the trade if price is x % within the current price? Looks like the ZM 20 setting gave more signals and better results... wonder why...
ECN - although my live acct is ECN, these duplicates were on OANDA, not ECN demo acct. I just set ECN to true (I believe one of the first posts recommended it, forgot why, maybe I should set it back to false... )
Here is the set file for these results. Hope it helps...

Only use ECN if your Broker requires the TP and SL to be sent separately in to separate steps from the original order.
The Zone between the Middle TMA and the Bottom or top TMA lines is "2 * ATR Range". The Buy zone is below the middle TMA line. The Robot will never Buy if the price is above the Middle TMA Line and vice versa for a Sell, price must be above the Middle TMA Line for a Sell. If you set Zone at 50 (50%), to get a Buy the price must now be below the half way point between the Middle and Lower TMA Line. To get a Sell the price must be above the half way point between the Middle and Upper TMA Line. 100(100%), will get you all the way to the bottom or top line. The price must be above or below this "Zone" number when all the other alerts match up to give a Long or Short signal. So you can use 0 to 100 to stay between the Middle TMA and Upeer or Lower TMA, or even 150 (150%) would put you 1 ATR above or below the upper or lower TMA Lines. The closer to "0" you set the Zone the more trades you will get but they could be just ranging trades, maybe just for a quick scalp. Usually the bigger moves come when the price is closer to the upper or lower Band.

Just remember the bigger trades usually happen closer to the outer bands.
Hi all traders...First post on this thread.. Thank u seller for your amazing EA...
i've been using v8 about 1 week 0.01 lot and following by manual trading 1 lot if i see good position. I found that 3 of my manual trading hit stop loss but i'm pretty sure that its really far from sl price. And the weird one is, yesterday i make manual trading without any sl setting, but its stop by it self. Can anybody help me with my problem?
Thank you for all the work that has gone into TMS EA. I have been following CH Stochastics and Trading Made Simple Forums for a month or two. I am very interested in the TMS EA and attempted to install it. Sorry, I cannot PM for help as this is my first posting and I am still a Jr. member. I have been trading forex for 3+ years.
I followed the latest manual and pdf for installation. I have Windows 7, so I changed to running as administrator for TMS DB shortcut and for MT4. I ran Project1.msi. I have the TMS_V8 EA installed and have a happy face. I have the tms_db template on my chart. However, even after running my MT4 platform as administrator and re-attaching the EA, I am still not getting the files created that are needed in the experts/files folder. I selected ECN and turned Dashboard on in the settings. My broker is an ECN.
I installed TMS_V8 EA, but TMSDB_V9. Should they be the same version? I could not locate TMSDB_V8.
I also have questions about i-sessions and its setup. Default settings have all sessions set the same and when I change them to accurate time frames, it garbles the screen colors.
I am fluent with using MT4 platform and installing and using EAs in general, but have no MT4 programming skills.
Assistance would be appreciated. I am happy to do this offline if there is another way to contact you. Do you do Skype? You will find me under paula.culbreth, but will have to request that I add you to my contacts in order to communicate. Thank you.
Hi PaulaC, please download " TMS EA DB Full Installation.doc" at page 34, post #506.
Part 1 is for EA and part 2 for DB installation, instead of V9 in the text, you install V8.
Or let us know where the problem might be. (I am going to bed now, reply to your problem tomorrow).
Coming back to analysis the trade on EURCHF earlier.
I consister this trade as a "lucky shot", because after the triggering bar had moved 309 pips, the EA is still able to bag another 80 pips before making a U turn.
Usually EA have two mode to trigger a trade.
1) Open a trade on the 'cross' of the TDI. Or
2) in this case open a trade after the close of the triggering bar. As you can see from my chart earlier, the trade opens at 8:00 broker time.
Under normal consideration (manual trade) as one single bar had moved over 300 pips (which is far far above the daily average) there is a danger of an immediate reversal. So trading in the same direction as the triggering bar is not recomended.
I did not understand your suggestion. Can you wide your option?
Thanks, Y.

Well basically at the moment close on cross = as soon as the green line crosses over red it exits. Now we all know that the green line can cross and uncross many times during an open candle. The key is we want the option to only exit if the green line is still crossed when the candle closes. E.g. when we get a confirmed cross.
E.g. The chart below shows the TMS cross indicator from this thread (http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=294327) showing confirmed TDI crosses. As you can see from the chart below exiting on confirmed crosses is a pretty good idea, it would reduce the amount of "fake" crosses we are getting at the moment.
