also the settings for "CANDLE CLOSE" cannot be turned ON or OFF ? was gonna test it off but .... unless im not seeing it or it's part of the TDI comfirmations settings
Your right , cant't be turned off completely. It is part of the "Use5ema" setting. You can turn off the 5ema close above or below but you still need the Blue or Red candle. Blue candle for going long and Red candle for going short. I didn't think it would be a good idea to let it trade on a possible wrong direction candle. So if the TDI is showing Long and the last closed candle is Red, it will not trade.

You may have caught me on this one. In going back and forth between static and dynamic TDI crosses I forgot to change the TDI close logic to dynamic. Right now it appears it is using the same close signal as the main TDI alert, which is the static which looks at the TDI Red Green indicator. I want it to look at the TMS-Osc Histo which is dynamic. Does this sound correct?
If you agree I can fix it in the next release.

Also no trades last night on the H4, and looking through the charts nothing looked that good anyway.

I did have one M15 trade kick off last night. I haven't tweaked the settings for M15 so not much good happening there yet. This one would have been a good trade but I had the stop loss to close, I was using 50% of the ATR which got hit rather quickly.

OK let's give it a try for TDI Cross; what about close on TDI goes flat or negative!

My idea is whichever method we use, when those signals are detected, the EA should close the trade immediately.
Let's have view of other testers.

NOTE I will be out of town so no reporting next week.

I agree! The trade must close when the EA detects, in real time, one or any of the chosen options: cross, flat or negative.

Don't worry. Robot will do all work for you. Important is right TMS_V12_MTF Input settings. All members try find right Input settings and they testing it. Members public all the time they settings and how they do, so just go page 1 and read from there to last page and you will understand everything.

Blue candle for going long and Red candle for going short. I didn't think it would be a good idea to let it trade on a possible wrong direction candle. So if the TDI is showing Long and the last closed candle is Red, it will not trade.
but it would be a good idea if possible to put a custom setting for the CANDLE CLOSE why ? because a CANDLE CLOSE on a 4hr TF and "candle close" on 1hr or 15 min without beeing able to customise it, we can miss lots of good trades if trading the 4hr because we are waiting on the CANDLE CLOSE of the 4hr CANDLE

but if there was a setting not to turn it OFF but to leave it ON with an option to input our own lower TF "Candle Close confirmation rule" similar to your TDICross, then for example we could trade a 4hr TF with a CANDLE CLOSE confirmation based on the 1hr chart

this is just an idea that IMO could be beneficial if it could be done.

anyways, keep up the good work we really appreciate it and i'll support and help with testing and giving ideas

cheers

First I would like to thank Steve Hopwood for taking the time to start this thread based on the “Trading Made Simple” method. And I would like to thank Seller9 for his immense generosity in putting in the time to improve on Steve’s work.

 I’m not sure how everyone else has there Metatrader 4 setup so I thought I would disclose the computer system setup I’m using.
I’ve been using OANDA as my broker for the demo account to test this EA. I currently have one dedicated computer running 3 copies of the Metatrader 4 software with 3 different demo accounts through OANDA on the following time frames, 15M, 1H, and 4H.

The workstation specs are as follows:
Processor: Intel P4 3.8GHZ (Single Core, Yes it has a little age on it but seems to have no issues with the Metatrader 4 software)
RAM: 4Gig of RAM
Hard Drive: 250Gig
OS: Windows 7 64Bit
EA Version: TMS_V12
Dash Board Version: TMS EA DB V11_MTF

Below is an attachment of the the first trade the EA executed on the H1 TF using the set file from Seller9 located on post #866. The only change I made was to the CriminallsECN setting. I changed it to "TRUE".

The Info for the attached image is as follows:

Strange, I am trying to see why your "TrendTMA D1" is so different from mine on both of your trades.

As you can see I am all RED for the trend and would not have been able to take that trade.

Can other traders look at this PAIR on the H1 and see what your Trend alerts for the D1 are showing?

Those are 2 nice trades but I am at a loss as to why the big difference in the Trend results.

One more thing I may add to the next version has to do with the TDI signal. I may make it so it takes no trades if the TDI is already above 68 or below 32 and crosses in the same direction.

What do you think????
As an option could be great.

Just a couple updates to try.

1) Gave you the option to use Dynamic or Static TDI cross to close a trade. True = Dynamic and False = Static. Version 12 was Static. Seems to be an ongoing debate on which one is best so let everyone know which one works best for you.
2) Added the option to use the 32 and 68 TDI levels. No long trades if TDI is above 68 and no Short Trades if TDI is below 32. Can select either one or both options. "Last Closed Candle"
3) Changed the pip offset of the the Trend Lines to 50 pips from 200 to try and keep them in the chart Window and maybe make them easier to find.

If your using the DB, the last one posted will still work but may be missing a few things.
I haven't had time to bring the manual up to date so the best way to keep up with these changes is to read the thread.
