I think this TLE should do the job, it has been placing trades for me and hitting TP...

Let me know what you think. There is no guarantee this will work, i am getting good at making mistakes in code

Thanks, Magft! Just what I was waiting for. Have been trying to modify your earlier TLE to use NLMBB/TMA. Will compare now, with the working version.
I have noticed, though that those Indicators appear to repaint.
Will need to run Ea and see..

Mike,
PS. Had a quick look at the code and notice that parameter passed to TMA in iCustom is "56". On my charts, I found that 13 seemed to better fit price. Anyway, have modified it and dropped on the offline chart.

Yes, good spot, i missed that setting though it has been working ok with 56 i'll update mine and see.

EaglePip is referring to the ReadIndicators Section of the code right at the very bottom, the 56 should be changed to 13 for this system and the Print statement can be removed by putting // in front of it (this gives feedback values for reference):

//Read Indicator
void ReadIndicators()
{

// Get tma bands
gd_Upper = iCustom(NULL,0,Indy1,"current time frame",56,PRICE_CLOSE,1.0,100,true,1,Shift);
gd_Mid = iCustom(NULL,0,Indy1,"current time frame",56,PRICE_CLOSE,1.0,100,true,0,Shift);
gd_Lower = iCustom(NULL,0,Indy1,"current time frame",56,PRICE_CLOSE,1.0,100,true,2,Shift);
//gd_MidPrev = iCustom(NULL,0,Indy1,"current time frame",56,PRICE_CLOSE,1.0,100,true,0,Shift+1);

//nlmbb
gd_NonLagUp= iCustom(NULL,0,Indy2,5,13,0,0.0,"",1,1,0,"",0,"",0,0,1,Shift);
gd_NonLagDn= iCustom(NULL,0,Indy2,5,13,0,0.0,"",1,1,0,"",0,"",0,0,2,Shift);
gd_NonLagUpPrev= iCustom(NULL,0,Indy2,5,13,0,0.0,"",1,1,0,"",0,"",0,0,1,Shift+1);
gd_NonLagDnPrev= iCustom(NULL,0,Indy2,5,13,0,0.0,"",1,1,0,"",0,"",0,0,2,Shift+1);
Print("gd_NonLagUpPrev",gd_NonLagUpPrev," gd_NonLagDnPrev ",gd_NonLagDnPrev," gd_NonLagUp ",gd_NonLagUp," gd_NonLagDn ",gd_NonLagDn);

}

Attached version has been updated and i have created variables at the top of the code to allow the use to change in one place, like John has done using #define statement. Just change the period and Applied Price there and it will be used by the indicators.

Hope this helps.

Basic settings that I posted earlier.

See chart
My 2 cents, might be interesting to add CCI34 as filter, above 0 only buy, below 0 only sell orders. (on 5min TF)

Hi Shake,
Here is a way to avoid those pesky whipsaws!
Only need 2 indicators:
1. 13 period TMA with 1.0 ATR100 bands.
2. NLMBB (5,13,0.0)
Entry: Colour change on NLMBB, ONLY when it is OUTSIDE the TMA bands.
Exit: Colour change on NLMBB ONLY when outside OPPOSITE band.
OR at Max TP, when there is no NLMBb/TMA Cross exit (See Attach 2)
(TP set at Amt that would exceed average Color change exits)
A bit radical as HaS, mTF etc are not needed.
Will be putting to test.
Lets see how it goes!
Excellent sets.

Made one bad decision today because I fudged on the system Loss 300

Picked up about 1500 in next 2 trades, counting my breakeven trades. (I have been opening 2 trades on 2 robots at a time with different magic numbers. I simply close one of them and move the other to breakeven)

That's approx 1200 total

I have loaded Mag's TLE into the bot to experiment with auto or semi autotrading with it, or for use with signals.

Thanks again, guys for all your input and efforts.

Shake,
Glad its working. Was the entry by TLE or manual? I have not had any entries.
May be its the TF. Just noticed Mike set file is 5M. I had it on !5M.
Will test again on the lower TF.

Manual. I've loaded the TLE in now, and will see if anything happens. I mostly have in mind to use the TLE for signals and entries, rather than set and forget. We'll just have to see what happens. Has anyone had this TLE open anything yet? There was a classic entry a couple hours ago, but I didn't have the TLE loaded yet.

I had it on the 5 min. It seems to be move fairly smoothly. Enough is going on that you don't get bored in front of the screen, and you don't have to wait forever to get a signal.

The dumbass trade, as with most bad ones in hindsight, I have no idea what I saw that made me do it.

On the chart, on the first profitable trade, was "not quite" by the book but very close.

You can see that the price had actually gone below the lower band. It then had a couple of strong bull candles inside, the NLBB merely "brushed" the lower band but hadn't changed yet. I figured that was good enough. I actually got in a touch early. Just before the NLBB changed color. Had I waited, until the actual color change, (actual entry signal) I would have gotten just as many pips, without the drawdown. The opposite band was my target.

These signals are pretty damn good, Eagle, and easy to identify. I am waiting for the big flaw that most systems seem to have.

By the way, could you post the ATR line indy when you get around to it? Would save me the search.

I love winning big

Yes, moving down to lower TF for quicker signals.
The ATR bands are part of the TMA Indicator.
It is in Magft"s earlier post #440. Trust that is what you are after.

Yes, easier with variables at top of code. I notice you are using Price/Bands cross. I was looking at slightly different entry/exit conditions. Will be testing them next.

// If the basket is a buy and we previous closed above the upper
if (BasketType == OP_BUY && gd_NonLagUpPrev > gd_Upper && gd_NonLagDn > gd_Upper)
{
CB_Action[0] = CLOSE_ORDER;
}

// If the basket is a sell and we previous closed below the lower
if (BasketType == OP_SELL && gd_NonLagDnPrev < gd_Lower && gd_NonLagUp < gd_Lower)
{
CB_Action[0] = CLOSE_ORDER;
}
// Entry Short
if (lb_UppShort && gd_NonLagUpPrev > gd_Upper && gd_NonLagDn > gd_Upper)
{
CB_Action[0] = OPEN_SELL;
CB_Price[0] = 0;
}
// Entry Long
if (lb_LowLong && gd_NonLagDnPrev < gd_Lower && gd_NonLagUp < gd_Lower)
{
CB_Action[0] = OPEN_BUY;
CB_Price[0] = 0;

Hey Guys,
Have TLEs running on 3 charts now. Just a word of warning. On the lower 5M TF, the settings will need to be adjusted. Looks like:
TMA @ 13,0.7,84 and NLMBB - 6,13, 0.0 will give better entry/exits.
Will need some tweaking.

Censura,
The Offline chart must have name "BSKTXX". The name is derived by using the indicator by Pat1 in post # 328.
Or, use instructions given in post #136 to edit the EA to accept a different name.
Hope this helps,
