I don't know why it doesn't take the trade ?

Candle is OK, Direction OK, Stochs OK, Stock slope OK.
TDI has crossed but doesn't turn to green ?

Where is the TDI MA in the graph ?
Get rid of that TDI indicator in Window #1 and use the one BigE uses.

Also post your set file so we know what your settings are.

I can see the slope does not meet the required minimum either, but its looking at a different TDI indicator than you have on your screen.

For the TDI Cross the EA looks at the "TDI Red Green" indicator.
For real time slope it looks at the "TMS-Osc Histo" indicator.

These are what you should look at if you want to see the same results as the EA.

4 trades on the H1 last night, 3 winners that hit TP of 2 x ATR. Third one still open and looks to be maybe going to go my way now, it would have also been a winner already if it had taken the trade sooner. I have made a minor change in V14 to see if it will enter sooner. Will test it tonight to see if it helps. Here is the set file I was using. The times are CST times, so if your in a different time zone you need to change them. I am trading just the London and first half of the NY sessions.

EURJPY = +47 pips
GBPJPY = +51 pips
EURAUD = +54 pips
GBPUSD = -65 (Still Open)

The next version so far has these additions.

1) You will now have your choice of using Dynamic or Static TDI entries. This will get you in on the first candle without waiting for it to close. Could be risky. You could trade using just the dynamic TDI cross. May be good for shorter time frames.

2) You will now have the option to turn off the "Candle Close". With this turned off the Bid will still have to be above the Open for a long and below the Open for a short, "Blue or Red" candle must be present at least at that moment in time, although...
Would it be possible to incorporate an ATR to make sure that the body of a bar is > XATR before entering trade? This way could enter on bar 1 or 2 and avoid the false triggers given by small bars.

Here is V14, I don't have time right now to go into details but the changes are in a previous post. The same Dash Board you have been using still works with this version. Have to run.

Good Luck

I use the following to determine the trend.

TMAmiddleD10 = iMA(NULL,TrendPeriod,56,0,MODE_LWMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
TMAmiddleD11 = iMA(NULL,TrendPeriod,56,0,MODE_LWMA,PRICE_CLOSE,5);

A better representation of this is the TMA True indicator. Looks like you caught a short trend change and the M30 alerts just happened to be aligned for a long. Right now as shown above I compare the present value with the value five bars ago. When using the Daily Trend this was today compare to five days ago. Maybe on these shorter time frame trends we need to look at a longer look back of bars. Below is a screen shot cut out of what the TMA Trend on the M15 chart looked like durring your trade time. Looks like you caught a slight uptrend.

Anyone have any ideas on look back bars on these shorter trend periods?
How many bars does it take to determine the trend in different periods?

That could be part of different candle options.

Candle > .25 ATR
Candle < .75 ATR

Etc

Hi Seller9

I have been thinking along those lines, these options could be located by the close on cross, etc, options. They would be hidden from the Broker. You could still set a Max TP with the Broker but you wouldn't have to if you didn't want to, let the EA do the watching, of course you need a stable connection with your Broker.

I think right now we are at the point where we need to evaluate what we have in the EA and see if the EA is going to be usable or not before we add any thing further. Lets get the EA to make the best choices and then we can work on Money Management.

There are some fine Money Management EAs out there already.

2 trades on M15. Exit on TDI reverse cross (dynamic).

Need explanation by Seller9 on this settings:
I had set the SL = 40, TP = 0 & TPmultipler = 80.

The EA places SL = 40, but TP = 12 !!!

The TPmultipler is a % of the ATR. so on your chart the ATR is 14 so 80%
would be about 12 pips take profit. lets say that the ATR was 40 and you set the TPmultipler to 150 that would be 150% of the ATR and that would be
60 pips TP. Hope that answered your question....

seller9 , kudos to your efforts , but it would be great to have a reference point

with so many versions , please have a reference post where one look for the specific version and its corresponding set file. ALso let me know whether this can be put to work on lower time frame like M15 if so what set file and what version to put.

i am totally confused.
