I notice that the RK HAMA EA does not adhere to Market Read.

Dear All

here are a couple more example TLE's that use the latest indicator everyone is talking about on the T101 indi's thread VQ (specifically these TLE's use the more resource friendly VQzz provided by ZZNBRM)

To ALL potential TLE coders, please study these TLE's carefully, I will not be happy if I see anymore versions of the basket trader placed on the thread with logic hard coded inside and not utilizing the TLE concept (I am aware that my forced absence did not help matters).

Also please ensure when setting up the Basket Trader you set ALL the parameters correctly, (UseTradeLogicEngine, UseTLEForOpen, UseTLEForClose, TLEUsed, AutomaticTLETrading)


There are 2 TLE's - one is very conservative in it's entries and will only enter trends at the beginning or after a significant retrace, the other can enter trends mid-way through

Both TLE's need to be run on a chart timeframe of 15m or less
In addition a basket chart of 4hr will need at least to be open

If the TLE's show promise, then they will be modified to use the newer logic that does not require the additional offline chart to be open

BOTH TLE's will assume a Market Read of RANGE if UseMarketRead=false.

!TLE VQzz 15_240 (allows entries mid trend)

Basket Opening

Market Read - Range

if the last closed VQ bar (15m) is greater than 0 and the current open VQ bar (4hr) is greater than 0 - open long
if the last closed VQ bar (15m) is less than 0 and the current open VQ bar (4hr) is less than 0 - open short

Market Read - Long

if the last closed VQ bar (15m) is greater than 0 - open long

Market Read - Short

if the last closed VQ bar (15m) is less than 0 - open short

Market Read - CT Long

if the last closed VQ bar (15m) is greater than 0 - open long
if the last closed VQ bar (15m) is less than 0 and the current open VQ bar (4hr) is less than 0 - open short

Market Read - CT Short

if the last closed VQ bar (15m) is less than 0 - open short
if the last closed VQ bar (15m) is greater than 0 and the current open VQ bar (4hr) is greater than 0 - open long

Basket Closing

If the current basket open is Long and the last closed VQ bar (15m) is less than 0 - close basket

If the current basket open is Short and the last closed VQ bar (15m) is greater than 0 - close basket

!TLE VQzz 15_240 Con (only enters at beginning of trend or after retrace)

Basket Opening

Market Read - Range

if the last closed VQ bar (15m) is less than 0 and the VQ bar (15m) prior to that is greater than 0 and the current open VQ bar (4hr) is less than 0 - open short

Market Read - Long

I tried the habody !TLE , sometimes it works & sometime it doesn't. See chart.

John
Any Ideas! Its your new EA I just renamed it for clarity.

Quoting magft
Try this one, i have added a check for minimum HA body size to avoid small signals and also can turn alerts and comments off/on. These are defined at the top of the indicator.

Just watched it close a basket and then open another straight away.

what did the comments say when switching showcomments = true

also have you checked what decimal points come up with the HA body check

the original donfix t101 indi had 5 decimals, the new one has 3, what does the hama come up with?

without knowing exactly what is wrong it is hard to say

although it appears to be opening and closing baskets almost immediately.

One other thing I have noticed is that this is set to run only at the beginning of a new bar, as one of the indicator values is from the current bar this is not a good idea

generally when using values from the current bar to form a signal, then it should run every tick

Thank You for the new TLE's John.

Testing the !TLE VQzz 15_240.

The EA has already placed the first Buy basket and is currently 150 pips in profit.

Hi guys,

I tried the Traderduke versions and got them to work. They seem to have integrated the whole !TLE thing hardcoded

I tried to check this last versions posted by jmw but can't get them to work! I understand that I need the EA from post 1, the indis from JMW's last post in the indis folder, and the !TLE's that are being referenced on the expert folder (and the EA settings needs to match the !TLE being referenced.

Now the question is, where do I have to attach the EA? To the offline chart or somewhere else? If someone could redirect me to a set up guide it'd be much appreciated

Hi,

I'm trying to follow this thread so as to be able to test the wonderful basket EA's that have been produced in my demo accounts. I couldn't manage to put the latest "TLE's using VQzz EA's " into use. I have them in the experts folder and have a warning when I try to attach any of them to the 15 minute offline chart, saying ' ....... is an indicator and cannot be executed' . Any help, please.

you really need to read the documentation provided

the tle's go into your indicators folder (as they are indicators)

they are then referenced in the parameters of the Basket Trader EA when you load it on the offline chart

In MetaEditor go to the following line :
extern string TLEUsed = "!TLE_Example_Pending";
extern bool AutomaticTLETrading = false;

Now change it to the TLE indicators name and the following line to true :
extern string TLEUsed = "!TLE VQzz 15_240";
extern bool AutomaticTLETrading = true;

Press compile and close mt4.

Restart mt4 and open a M15 and H4 Offline chart.

Place the EA on the M15 Offline chart.

post 1, in the zip file are 2 documents

one that explains the tle's, one that explains the basket trader ea

are you serious with the question about on which chart you put the EA????

the offline chart is the answer.....

Great job!!! You not only provided a great EA but also the simpilest adaptible indicator transition.

Not that I don't like the VQ but I think the HAMA is better, so here we go. I think I would make the period "int" instead of define for variations.

Hi TD

does this mean that you have managed to get your TLE to work now without hardcoding it into the EA?

if yes, what was the problem or did you just start again?

Hi TD

just one additional point, you might want to post a more detailed post regarding your 2 TLE's (similar to the one i recently posted) so that people can easily see if one of your TLE's would be useful to them.

I gave up on trying to fix the old so I just transfered the hama onto the
!TLEVQzz. It appeared to be working but I just noticed an old problem of many ins and outs during the same minute. i tested it on a 1m & 5 m. I'll get back to you when I get it fixed. I don't know if VQzz will have the same problem.

PS: Looks like the VQzz has the same problen on the 15m & 240m see the chart.
PSS: I think I found the problem its lines 1815, 1818 & 1856 they need to be 1 bar back.

interesting because on mine it only opens one trade per bar

are you sure that your renamed Basket Trader is simply just a rename?

have you tried using it with the basket trader as is downloaded from the first post?

the only way it can open multiple trades per bar, is

a) it doesn't know it has a basket open
b) in the TLE the LastBar information is not being filled

because

a) the Check_TLE_For_Open routine in the basket trader is only called when there isn't a basket open

b) the TLE's are set up to only run once per bar

In addition the line numbers you mention

1815, 1818, 1856 - they are correct on bar 0, as the return values from the TLE are set to Index 0


Please only report problems when using the standard EA I provide, as I only test using this - as mentioned for me it works fine

PS. when reporting a problem like multiple trades per bar, please at least show the chart zoomed in enough so that each individual bar can be seen

TD

when it is opening these multiple baskets is it closing the other one first, if so what does the experts log say for the reason for close

if it says closing due to minimum profit, then it is something to do with the breakeven values (part of the trailing parms but NOT controlled by the UseTrailing flag)

Whenever I don't want the standard EA to modify anything and just let the TLE do everything, I usually set the amount to move to B/E at a high amount like 1000 USD just to ensure it is not actioned

John, I have a request/suggestion for a next version of the EA.
Is it possible to leave a space for a comment on the screen and for the EA to get that comment from a !TLE.

Lets assume a !TLE works with a few indicators to decide a trade direction and a larger TF for trend direction. Would it be (technically) possible to have the EA show the, lets say stoch value and a 200 EMA trend direction/value.
Maybe you don't think it is necessarily or maybe it is to much work coding. I understand and accept that. You've done a great job already.
But in my opinion it can be handy when checking if a !TLE + the EA works as it's supposed to.


The NLMBB !TLE I mentioned earlier is sort of ready. I editted your VQzz !TLE.
It took a basket trade, but I'm not sure if it was on the opening of a candle or if it took it right after I recompilled it.
It sure did close it like it's supposed to do (when the variables changed) and it was at the close of a candle.
Let me test it a few more days to iron out the flaws, to tidy the code up and to make sure it works as I supposed to and I'll post it here. Kinda busy with my job the next days, so don't expect it right away

Hi Jules

there is no change necessary to the EA to achieve what you have requested

simply have the TLE create the text/label objects directly, I would suggest that the TLE places it's objects in Corner 3 to avoid overwriting objects from the EA
