you might as well add a GMT shift or a 3rd Time to Trade

start_houre=12-16
For AUD pairs i have 20-24 instead of 12-16

But it would be usefull maybe a 3rd Time settings because i can't put 12-16 for AUD pairs or others here can't replicate the hours some of us trades on
I think, if you want to put 12-16 or 20-24 hours for AUD pairs it's be like this

Magic number: 0

Morning hours
start_hourm=0
end_hourm=0

Evening hours
start_hourm=12 or 20
end_hourm=16 or 24

and I think that's it... or do you mean trading from 12 to 16 AND ALSO 20-24... then, I'd be needed.

start_hourm=12 or 20 / end_hourm=16 or 24

thats equivalent to = 12-24

the 16-20 part i dont want any trades everyone is sleeping or eating

I added the exit, it will use the same settings as the entrance.

I think we should stop making changes now for a while to let everyone get caught up and get up to speed and determine some good settings, its hard to test when things keep changing. I think there are enough settings now that everyone should be completely confused.

im not confused well besides my Close2TradeWindow issue i had

there is enough settings in this EA to create 20 + different strats

we all should concentrate on making profitable SETTINGS and share them, seller9 did his part now we gotta give back and share our tests results better to post when it's profitable settings tho, not to clutter the board.

Thanks seller9 it's really appreciated

Thanks a lot, and I thought I'd be confused too, but the TMS16 settings manual covers everything. There were some settings I didn't even knew their way of working.

Anyways... I think it's all covered, thanks a lot. Will come up with some good setfiles

I am going to bed, will see what the EA does when it wakes up for the London session, I will check it when I get up in the morning.

Good Luck to all.

thanks seller9, but i have problem how to set candle pattern
if the Candle colors are : Red-Blue-Red-Blue- Present Bid above Open
or : Blue-Red-Blue-Blue -Present Bid above Open (this set for Long trade)

Short trade is the opposite.

thanks again

I'd rather be bearish than bullish today.. but again.. I remember of possible hope that the ECB will come up with a solution to the crisis on wednsday.. so, buying and selling, I made 2 setfiles (I included them in the templates), one for the 15min charts and one for the 1H charts (EURJPY, GBPJPY, GBPUSD and EURUSD).

The 1H charts setfile might vary depending on the fundamental analysis strength... but right now it's so weak and confusing, that this is the most appropriate (in my opinion).

We want to choose which one is better than the other, so, help me testing.

EDIT: I FORGOT TO CHANGE THE TRADE PERIOD to 1H IN THE 1H SETFILE SO PLEASE, CHANGE IT... THANKS

Pbh,

Do you have the setfiles in .set or .txt format?

hello guys,

i see you are developing some very good strategies. very good work in this thread, especially a big thanks to seller9 for his hard coding-work!

i also continue to test my reversal-strategy by using the zones and pullbacks into the tma channel. it works very very well so far. the history of the last couple days:

http://hmso.hmja.de/trading/tms_reversals_history.png

here's the myfxbook statement: http://www.myfxbook.com/statements/1...statement.html
(i changed the start-date to the moment where i began to test these settings, so don't wonder about this)

the entries and exits are working, now i'am on to it to increase the winning pips. right now i have set a takeprofit of only 25 pips. but to get the whole pullback-move i need to change something. i think about to set the tp multiplier to 3.5 or 4 and to add a candlestick trailing stop (look 2 candles back with offset of 0 or 1 pips).

has anyone a better idea for this?

oh, by the way:
this thing runs on my live account since friday. no loser so far.

@seller9:

maybe you remember, last week i was confused about the zone-signal in the data-display. that's why i asked you to include the current zone-percentage in numbers. now i have 2 screenshots for you, where you can see exactly what i mean.

i have the zone-multiplier set to 150%. on both screenshots the current zone level is above 150% (one screenshot in selling zone, one in the buying zone), BUT the indicator in the data-display stays YELLOW, not red or green.

is there something wrong with it?

i hope we can bring clarity into this problem, i would like to share my settings with the community soon.

sorry for spamming, but i think i just solved the above problem.

there seems to be a multiplier of 2 somewhere in the code of the EA. if i set the zone multiplier to exact the HALF of the current zone percentage, then the signal turns into red or green! i changed my multiplier a few percent, and the signal turned to yellow again. a few percent back and green again.

so for example:
if i want a zone-level of 200%, i have to set the zone multiplier in the settings to 100%.
if i want a zone-level of 300%, i have to set the multiplier to 150%.

seller, can you confirm that?

Hi Everyone and thanks to Seller9 for this EA and everyone else for contributing.

I trade live using TMS in the UK on a spread betting platform (no tax on profits!) called GKFX (formerly SmartLive Markets) and I wondered if I needed to do anything different with regards to the EA inputs fields?

Also, although I've just finished reading the whole thread (not as long as the TMS one which took me days!) I'm still not sure which are the best / preferred settings currently so any help there would be appreciated as well.

If I stumble across a setting that pays green pips I'll of course post it.

Many thanks.

I wanted to ask you for placing the exact set. this statement because I am not able to configure EA to give these results. I think these results were in H1, I am right? thank in advance.

I'm so glad that snowhh, pbh and others are figuring out settings that work for them. That is the most difficult-- finding the right combination of settings, timeframes, etc. I've tried dozens of different settings, up all night until 4am or later most nights during the week and still not getting anywhere. My wife keeps bugging me as I write this. LOL. So yes that's how it is with me and maybe some of you, but somehow, one way or another it will happen with seller9 and others' help. My wife is standing over me right now and it's after 5am. Better go to bed.

Hi Guys,

Nice thread and EA. I think it has a lot of potential. At the moment just back testing set files. If any one needs set files tested I have a pretty mean server and 10 years of tick data.

I also will be testing some set files of my own and will contribute if I can.

Regards,

seller,

could you please add a function to the candlestick-trailingstop, that the trailingstop only starts if the breakeven-point is reached? for example, if i set breakeven to true and breakevenpips to 20, i want the candlestick trailingstop starting only if 20 pips profit is reached and the breakeven is set.
for the jumping stoploss such a function is already implemented i think (JumpAfterBreakevenOnly).

the reason why i ask is:
for my well-running zonebreakout-strategy i need a big stoploss of 50 pips for the case the PA is moving in the wrong direction first. and right now i'am playing around with the candlestick trailingstop to increase the winning pips. but the candlestick trailingstop is set very fast after the trade was opened and i'am afraid this could be the reason that more trades could become losers when the PA turns into the wrong direction first and the stoploss is too small because of the immediately activated candle-stop.

thank you!

Glad to see someone out there is paying attention. That bug has been in the code since the beginning, and you just found it.
I believe it is fixed now, so have included the fixed version. I will leave the version the same, hope no one gets confused.

Edit: here is the correct version, must be to early in the morning for me.

yesss, thank you!
i will try and set up this new version tomorrow, because i still use v17 and since then you implemented some new settings and i think i cannot load an old settings file into the new version because the number of settings will not match.
