John take a look and see how the PA just bounces off the HAS
THis is Kos's original way of going about the BTS...Not sure how you code this but what I have been doing us placing Limits right at the bottom or near bottom has. They have been hitting pretty good..



Hey Dry, Thank you for this. Looks like a good way to catch a trend, or re-enter.

Here is a way I have been experimenting with for catching start of trend. If you look back, you see that nearly every time there is a HA color change, PA will invarialby re challenge the HA, much like a S&P level. (see pic)

1. Wait for HA Color Change.
2. Wait for PA to retrace to HA and either cross and close, OR just stick a candle wick to the other side.
3. Place Sell/Buy Stop at High/Low created by the retrace to the HA.

I have had 3 out of 4 wins with this entry. Would have had 4 for 4 if IBFX servers hadn't gone down.

I have also, gone to the code (i am by no means a coder) and re-aligned the pairs with the SELLS on one column, and BUYS on the other, just because I am more comfortable with this.

I also have opened an additional chart, and attached the BOT to this one with a different Magic #. This way, I can look at the basket as the trade progresses. As i am sure all of you have noted, the basket tends to re-group during the trend , then continue on its way. I find it easier to see these re-groupings this way, even though the chart itself is really telling you the same thing.

Also, I have also noticed, when I have had my terminal open, that during a trade, the Bot's profit loss reading usually varies with the terminal profit loss by a few cents. Haven't seen a large difference, so may be no big deal. In fact, considering the shear huge amount of price information being processed by the BOT, it's a wonder its even THAT Close.

JIM, thank you again for all your hard work.

well hopefully a few cents off in the totals won't break your bank

there will always be a slight difference, simply due to the fact that the bot gets the totals at the beginning of it's processing cycle

then it has to check trailing, stops, take profit, button presses, TLE for closing

only after that does it actually display the information to the screen - hence the difference

on top of that by default the bot only refreshes every second (to cut down on processing)

ps. the name is John not Jim

Regards, John

Hi Shake,

in the middle of your picture, there was a HA color change and possibility for a SELL, did you miss this or have I misunderstood your entry system

just curious, john

No, I think you got it exactly right.

I scrolled back and tried to pick a few that I am sure that I actually took. The one you are pointing out is a great example. I don't remember if I caught that one or not.

I think this may be a pretty high percentage way to trade it. One good thing about it is . . . if the PA doesn't return . . . no harm no foul. You will then probably catch a signal on the other side.

Stop and limit orders are much safer than market orders. They make you have to PLAN your trades, and give you time to digest things.

Of course, nothing is fool-proof. There are going to be plenty of losses. If PA is ranging, for instance, and you happen to have your stop order on the wrong side of S ro R.
I still havent quite nulled out at what point to give up on a losing open trade.

Sorry about the name thing, John.

Dear Neksus

as you haven't even bothered reading the thread correctly to understand who to ask to make modifications to the bot, it is little wonder that you haven't read the manuals.

This ability is already in the bot, and explained in the manual

no problem about the name, just jesting with you

yeah now I have this bot I am still sat here wondering exactly how to trade it, this is probably due to the fact that I thought T101 was a robot from the Terminator movies up until 2weeks ago.

I've also notice that the basket tends to be on the right side of the HA when Fundies come out (at least on the 5). Happened just about every time this week (if I'm not mistaken).
Could just be a quirk of the current global monetary crisis.

Happened again a little bit ago. Had I been looking, and using Dry's limit entry method, could have caught about a 1000 pips in about 10 minutes, I bet.

If it were to turn out that the basket is a reliable predictor of Fundie moves, it would be big help in automating the BOT

welcome to the world of multi timeframe indicators on offline charts

... Kos's method profitably i will be writing a new version of HAS MTF which will be based on the work i did for Project Ultra

this new version will then not require that the other timeframe offline charts are open, they don't even need to have been created by the T101 price indicator

...bother
Only using HAS mtf since its seems to be simpler to understand at this stage. Grabbed about 470 pips on demo today using bot buttons to open/close basket pairs!

I have been having a play around with TLE but i cannot get it to place any trades for me which is strange using either of your examples.

I have created one for my experiment which uses TMA centered mari indy that i have modded to remove alerts bit for easier coding, NLMBB with is a nonlag MA using BBands for colour change and PwR.

See attached screen but basically you sell when price is falling from red outer TMA line and close when touches green or TP/Trailing stop. The reverse is for buy. I have also added the the direction check using NLMBB and PwR. NLMBB should be pointing in right direction for trade and PwR slope should be pointing in right direction as well.

I have manually placed a few trades all positive up 480 pips since yesterday. I'll post some more trades, i am using M15 chart but looks good on M5 and H1.

The attached files all go in the indicators directory.

Regards

Mike

John,

Getting hanged on this bot, a masterpiece of the first degree. One concern on the endi though, when changing basket to ie 4 pairs, the bot needs also to jibe with the indi by changing "##101##" parameters, compile it in order to run. User's input could be a way to solve it.

Thanks a lot and God Bless,

not sure what you mean

on both the indi and the bot you have to define the basket in the parameters (when you load, first parameter)

no recompile necessary..

have you checked basic things with the TLE

does it for instance send alerts

have you check it gets all you other indicators correctly (by using print to temporarily show them) etc.

the tle's can be a bit of a pain to debug, even more so than normal mql4!!

Has anyone had the same problem i set up offline chart using the t101 price history fix indy posted but my offline chart shows bars with hardly any range

sorry if this is an idiot question but just wondered if it is an issue with my broker or just me being stupod

what do you mean by range - no up/down ie. all flat??

if so, leave the indicator on the chart, close MT4

using explorer, go into your MT4 terminal directory, then history, then the server you are using, then delete all the ##T101## files

then restart mt4

it has happened to me a few times but i cannot work out why

one immediate bug i can see in your code

Inserted Code
   // Get tma bands
   gd_Upper = iCustom(NULL,0,Indy1,"current time frame",56,PRICE_CLOSE,2.0,100,true,0,Shift);
   gd_Mid = iCustom(NULL,0,Indy1,"current time frame",56,PRICE_CLOSE,2.0,100,true,0,Shift);
   gd_Lower = iCustom(NULL,0,Indy1,"current time frame",56,PRICE_CLOSE,2.0,100,true,0,Shift);
   gd_MidPrev = iCustom(NULL,0,Indy1,"current time frame",56,PRICE_CLOSE,2.0,100,true,0,Shift+1);

you are not switching the mode, ie. just before Shift - you are always retrieving from buffer 0

I have finally got the EA's aesthetics looking right.
Not critical I know, but it looks so damn good.

Thank you for this fantastic EA.
