Hi Seller9,

Is it possible to add a termination time/date for all the open trades to close? If a trader does not want to have any trades open out of his trading period or over the weekend, then he would close the trades, whether is in lost or profit.

Thanks.
Idea for this one. You can just add an option to turn on/off to terminate the trades when it is out of the trading hours. As for weekends, it maybe optional.

Thanks.

of course. screenshot attached. i use m15.
for a trade trigger i only use the zone with multiplier 130% and stochastics. after i realized that some trades were opened too early, i also added stoch slope today, to be sure that the pullback into the channel really has started. but since these changes i had no trade again. the PA of some pairs was outside the channel a few hours ago (i think far enough to be at 130%), but the zone in the data-display was yellow all the time. that's why i need the current percentage in numbers.
GJ snowy & Seller9

try testing it with the CCI since you can change the trigger/Period settings on your own in the EA or throw it on the chart and see if it might help in the strategy.

when the trigger is 100 it wont take a trade until then but you can change to another period lower or higher besides the default..Just an idea

Hi guys

Just set up a demo of the TMS H1 SCALPER setfile that seller9 shared (Thanks!)

Here's the link in case anyone wants to track:

http://www.myfxbook.com/members/acos...scalper/180406

I just have a couple of technical questions:

- Is it normal that all my charts read "sleeping" at this moment?
- Do I need to be running the indicators on the chart or having them on my indis folder is enough (I want to save as much CPU power as possible)
- I noticed some News inputs on the EA, but no calls to the FFCal indi on the experts tab.

Any enlightenment would be much appreciated

Best regards,

Diego

I just have a couple of technical questions:

- Is it normal that all my charts read "sleeping" at this moment? YES it's normal, it's waiting for Trades

- Do I need to be running the indicators on the chart or having them on my indis folder is enough (I want to save as much CPU power as possible) they only need to be in the Indicators Folder on the chart it's not necessary

- I noticed some News inputs on the EA, but no calls to the FFCal indi on the experts tab. maybe you have the old FFcal indi get the new one
i answered your questions above

heres the indis and PDF to understand the EA LOTS OF FEATURES

Just wanted to say thank you to seller, great work!! I am a position trader (using mostly Ichimoku) because I work full-time and don't have time for short term strategies. This EA allows me to do it anyway, so thank you very much

Don't forget if you have a good working Strategy PLEASE post your set file and share it with the community like some of us, especially seller9 for creating this nice EA, we can all test/tweak the settings to make it good on all TimeFrames.

i think i have found some good settings for this bot, using the zone and trading the pullback of outbreaks of the tma trend-channel. 21 trades today and 21 winners.

but first i have to analyze something about the zone, thefore i need the zone-percent of the current PA in numbers and not only a red, green or yellow lamp, for a finetuning.

seller, is it possible to include this number into the datadisplay, like you did it for the stochastics, slope, etc. ? that would be very nice and i could move on to improve the settings and give it to everyone...
Is this what you want?

The top of the channel is 200% or 2 ATR from the center line.

UseCandleTrailingStop

This was set using Star's setfile.

Alert window indicate it has sent SL, but broker does not response. Thus, the price stays. Previously, EA will keep sending until the price appear correct. So, I guess you might have changed it to send once? Just a guess.
Once every minute.
Its been working Ok for me.

Just wanted to say thank you to seller, great work!!.
Good EA, so thank you very much

Since this EA has a lot of features it is a long process to test with different settings because every time the setting is changed the EA goes to sleep,
so if u could remove the sleep feature we could test with different setting immediately,
Also this EA is active only when the market is open (read in one of the previous post that it is depended on tic) so by removing this feature we can do backtest during weekends & come with better settings

Thanks again

IMPORTANT to note by reading the PDF it will clarify lots of questions along with the SLEEP MODE issue and why certain settings are in the EA, also backtesting is not always the best way of seeing if the EA is good or not, it is GOOD just depends on what strategy the end user is using, thats the main reason why we will share our successfull or promising SET FILES

I need to find a better way to exit when the momentum changes to the other direction,
I think the "Use5emaCandleClose" could be good if it required a close over the 5ema to trigger and not just a wick of the 5ema as at present.
Good Trading

Hy,

good filter could be:

- only short if price below and close to a trendline (candle closed)

- only long if price above and close to a trendline (candle closed)

-that- would be an excellent filter for (any bot) ...

I wish all of you a pipful week,

Scalping on M15.

Some suggessions for next version.

1) Set the "Sleeping" time limit to 60 seconds.
When we change settings or TF, the EA went to sleeping mode, and we may miss a trading opportunity.
Edit: Higher TF sleeps longer hours.

2) Hide StopLoss and TakeProfit from broker.
