Would not the jumping stop which is set at 75 after the breakeven sl take care of the TP ?

The way I Think I have it configured is initial SL is last factual, then I have breakeven set to activate @ 45 pips and then the jumping LS to activate after the breakeven every 75 pips + B/E ...
OK, I think I see what your doing. So you will be sending no TP to the Broker, just keep moving your SL. Kind of like a jumping TP.
Never thought of it that way, I may have to try it.

Looking at a Daily chart of the EurUsd looks like there is no trend and I believe he has the Daily trend as a requirement... just a possible..

That's not the case, counter trend trading is active.

Looks like he has counter trend active so the trend direction should not matter.
Strange????

Here is a screen shot of a similar trade that was placed, (different Pair) and you can see I have the same settings as far as alerts go and it placed the trade.
This is TMS_V10_MTF, but its the same version I am running on the same Pair you showed above and I did'nt get the trade either.
Keeps getting stranger.

Just noticed a calculation error in determining the 5 day average.

Don't use it, I will fix it in the next version.

Sorry about that.

Good luck

Hi seller9,
with my settings, I believe TMS v10 should take this long trade but it does not.
Could you see the reason ?
I have attached the set file for your reference.
Appreciate your help.
Found the Bug, its in the counter trend logic. It got in the code this last update causing Counter trend not to function. It will be fixed in TMS_V11_MTF.

I think everyone will like the next version as it lets you do other time frames other than H4. I am going to test it next week on the M15 and see what it can scalp in pips.

Anything else anyone can think of for the next version?????

For now don't use Counter Trend as I think its killing the trades.

Sorry about that, but you all will love the next version.

TMS_V11_MTF

Testing next week

An option to close on static (confirmed cross) would be top of my request list. - Thanks -

I was about to post that I got two trades yesterday. Both countertrend, and both were closed almost immediately.

Since I just read the last few posts, there is no need to post the images of my trades.

Thanks again Seller9 for your continued development on this great EA.

PS no trades today.

Hi Seller9,

Thanks for sharing, some ideas to consider:

1. Positive expectation money management settings:
e.g. 2 = 2TP:1SL,
1.5 = 1.5TP:1SL

2. SL settings:

2.0 No SL
2.1 ATR (1,1.5,2),
2.2 last [1m,5m,etc] candle low/high,
2.3 last fractal low, high,
2.4 Optimum [default lowest of SL of the above three methods) or highest

Have a great weekend guys!

Seller 9,

Interesting that you say there is a bug in the countertrend logic as I had 3 countertrend trades towards the end of the week for about 10 pips (profit target) on nzd/jpy, eur/gbp and nzd/usd. However, those are the only trades I have had. Now set on 23 pair with v10, but didn't get all the pairs set up until Wednesday or Thursday.

I tried it for a little while today on the M15 time frame, might be good for scalping and with autorestart and countertrend turned on it just keeps going on its own picking off the trades one by one.

That would not be this version as I want to make sure I didn't add any more bugs with what I did.
I think I will post it this weekend so everyone can play with ti next week. Just remeber it has not been tested yet, so is very raw.

Glad to see you got some counter trend trades. It is a very strange problem that is not always present, so I redesigned the Buy and Sell Logic to be like I have used in the past in other EAs and should eliminate that strange error.

Also to maybe eliminate the "Flicker" of the indicator causing Trades you may not want I have added a consecutive alert trigger, meaning it takes a certain number of the same alerts in a row to trigger a trade and this number is selectable by the user to open and close trades. The counter updates every Tic, I thought this may be better than maybe going to the candle open or close as that can be a while if in the longer time frames. Will see if it does what I want it to do.

Will post more later this weekend along with TMS_V11_MTF EA and new Dash Board.
Your present config files will still be OK with the new DB, it just has the added "Time Period" column so you know what period the EA on the Pair is running in. Every EA on every different Pair can be in a different time period if you want.

Seller 9,

Thanks for letting us help you test V11. I get so impatient waiting for trades on H4, having M15 and H1 available will be great. Still running on demo, so no fear involved. Will the default settings be suitable for giving it a go and letting you know? I will be away from computer Sun-Wednesday, so can set it all up on Saturday and let it go without intervention and see what happens.

I was finally able to get the TMSDB_V10 to work on Windows 7 with combination of "run as administrator" and putting MT4 platform directly into C:, not in program files (x64).

However, still not able to get TMSDB_V10 to work on my VPS where it is running on Windows XP. I am waiting for the administrator of the VPS to set the desktop shortcut to TMSDB_V10 to "run as administrator" as I cannot do it. I still have the MT4 platform loaded into program files. I can change that, too, but thought probably not needed for XP. The proper files are there in the expertsfiles folder, but evidently not being communicated to the DB program.
