Is there any way I can backtest this EA without it only executing one trade?

Thanks Seller9 for your work

will test v13 on the EUR/USD 1hr timeframe with your settings in the EA,
will keep v12 1hr TF on the EUR/CHF with your settings as posted on #866
and will also keep on testing v12 1hr TF on the EUR/JPY with star178's settings as posted on #811

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...
The thing is we are watching the TDI on the H4 for a cross and the candle to close it happens on. To use a candle close say on the H1 would be like trying to look into the future and see what the eventual outcome of the H4 cross will be. So close using the H1 close if we can see a H4 cross on close comming. The present C1, C2, and C3 settings now are used to pick or see if those time frames agree with the one you are watching for the TDI cross on. But they only pick that entry after the cross and close has happened on the time period being used for the TDI cross.
The way around this would be to go to a Dynamic TDI Signal cross which happens durring the Candle, but them sometimes this signal changes to the opposite by the time the candle is closed and you are caught in a head fake.

One thing to remember when putting one of these EAs on a chart is the default settings may not be the ones that should be used. They are just what the EA was left at when I was codeing it, so you should go through the settings and set them to one of set files that is working and has been posted here. The default settings are not optimum, just what it was left at.

Here are the two set files I will be trying this next week.
The H4 I just started to use the end of last week and have one open trade GBPUSD.
The H1 I am going to test this next week starting Sunday night.

Let me ask if I have this correct, you are using V12 and on the 1hr you are using the set file posted in post 866. What is the set file you are using on the 15 minute and 4 hr charts.
Thank You
FW

Yes i see what your looking at and the logic behind it, it's better to keep it like that, when theres a candle close after a certain cross it gives more confirmation on the move or trend, i was looking at it in a different way but i will play with some settings to get similar setups on other pairs than those that i mentionned below. (next post)

you made good changes in v13 with the "Dynamic TDI Signal cross" & the "TDI Levels above under 32/68" gonna test it this week.

OK i modified my setup and switched my EA's between my EUR/USD to GPB/USD 4hr TF with your settings of v13 as posted on #886, so we can compare.

i also added v13 on the EUR/CHF 1hr TF with your settings as posted on #886

will also keep on testing v12 1hr TF on the EUR/JPY with star178's settings as posted on #811

i'll probably also test the settings of CodeMonster on a different pair if he can post his set files of v13 that he's currently using.

FYI: im using TadawulFX demo 5 digit broker

fwoodley,

Yes that is correct, I'm using the set file from post #866 (h4set.txt) with V12 for the M15, H1 and H4 time frame.

Due to great riding weather I haven't had time to posted my trades from the M15 that took place on 9/1/2011 and 9/2/2011. On the M15 with the settings from post #866 the quality of trades taken were poor. And I did have losses.

Also since I'm a new member it looks like my ability to attach images has a limit. And it would seem I have reached that limit. Not sure if I need to make more posts to get more space or if I need to just load the images somewhere else. Anyway as I have time I will try to post that info.

just added Janm's setup on AUD/USD figured his setup by looking a his pics that he posted, but if he could still post his set files if possible that would be great or explain what you changed.

im testing all settings possible that works, so if anyone has the SET FILES and it's making trades, please post them or explain what you modified from seller9's SET files, just like Codemonster explained above.

Looks like this set failed to catch any of the big action that was going on, Only made 2 trades, one of them is on a 15min setfile I am testing.

M15 USDJPY closed itself half an hour later at -9 pips
H1 EURCAD took profit at +48 pips

I never seem to get many trades, unless I switch off everything and trade counter trend. :-( not sure what the issue is. Tried turning off the 5EMA confirmation and candle direction too.
