Here you go, don't say I didn't warn you, the only thing is I haven't had time to do the directions for setting up the recent strength indicator to work with it, so everyone is on their own.
Go over to the Hanover forum and there are directions on doing it. If not set up properly it will not work. I have included some files that should get you up and running quickly if done as listed below.
Also, if you select more than 1 time frame for Hanover the bar graph in the EA will only display the first one you have entered but will still use the others...
Demoing TMS_v20_MTFtest.TF H4,D1 ,slope 1.Pairs-EU,EA,EJ,EG,ECADGU,GJ,GCAD,GA,GN,AU,AJ,ACHF,NU,NJ,UJ,UCAD,UCHF,CADJ,CHFJ.

Thank You Seller9 for exellent piece of art, it remind me indi ZUP with great amount of tools(Russian creator-nen).
I ll continue to test and report all my results.
Best wishes Master.

I'm back in. Thanks in advance for the hard work. I will put some test time in next week.

Because of this wild markets (I'm talking about this week's political irrationality).

I updated my settings and now... instead of using a 13SMA we are using a 10SMA shift 2 for the 19th version. Also.. we are using BE at +50 pips, with a jumping stop of 50 pips that will start jumping after BE.

Here's my template

And please CLOSE SHORTS! if you are in any... like GBPUSD +60 or EURJPY, GBPJPY, I'm actually long in EURJPY, but remember this is friday, and I'm trying to figure out how markets are going to react to the Super Commitee gag.

I know what would happen to stocks.. but I'm working on my interpretation of the currency markets.

Pbh

EDIT: Okay.. after looking at some charts I think it's way more intelligent to move SL to BE at +40, and to jump 40 pips also. So, here's the template.

Like I said, close shorts.
I'm not saying this pair is not going to go lower, but it's better to prevent and lock in some profits.

instead of using the stochs i filter a lot with my CCI 50 or 100 levels and it helps in those whipsaw markets, after some visual reviewing on the charts and screenshots and some losses, i also realised that by lowering the TDI Range it could of kept me out of sudden spikes when the TDI is already over 50 for a long or under 50 for a short

so i changed the Min/Max Range threshold from 32/68 to 35/65, it will help since i saw some that were at 66/67 levels long trades that we're losses less trades but less risk, will test next week with the new TDI Ranges and my CCI

for the TDI Slope i have it at 3 or 4 depending on the pair should have them all at 4 tho

Hi Seller9 - I am more a lurker than anything else, my approach to learning is reading, digesting, trying myself with plenty of screen-time rather than actively participating in threads.... Having said that, the original TMS thread and this one is on my daily reading list and I am trying out TMS for 2 months now, manual trading.

I have tried the various versions of your EA with various set files posted here, but frankly, not with much success for me - it goes without saying that other people here are successful, no doubt... But TF's H1 and lower are simply not for me.....

My prefered way of manual trading is shown in the attached screenshot - I am using 3LLZ semaphore (with custom values for period 1-3 to reflect the daily tf) as indication of possible reversal, standard Synergy APB, standard HA smoothed, and some "helper" indicators.

This system does NOT work well on lower TF's!!!

Would you be willing to consider to code an EA version that
- enters a trade on color change HA smoothed within 10 bars after print of semafore 3 or 2 (sema1 is ignored as it is unreliable in this context)
- confirmation of TDI green over red or vice-versa
- close order at color change HA smooth within x bars after print of opposite sema2 or 3
- after close immediately enter new order in opposite direction

If this is not in the spirit of the thread, just say the word...

Thanks for your consideration & thanks for the fantastic coding effort so far!

Thank you, Seller9.

This is one of the threads I check on daily.

I am still running your H1 set, but with SL at 1 x ATR and TP at 0.6 ATR runing 1 hour prior to London open through to the end of the London session.

Last week it ended with a very slight loss, and this was again true the in current week. I think the markets are such that this could be considered a reasonable result. In prior weeks it had been profitable on demo.

If I have time, I may set it up with V20 over the weekend to see if using Hanover will improve things by keeping it out of the chop.

I will definitely set up the PBH version to run in tandem and report back on that also.

Cheers

all that you mentionned above can be used in the EA or have similar settings that can be setup, only thing missing is the OPEN on CANDLE COLOR CHANGE but it has the CLOSED settings of it, see PDF file here for more info TMS_V19_Manual.pdf

for the Heiken Ashi vs Synergy APB

im a big fan of HA and i was also wondering before what was the difference between both Synergy APB and HA, i did some comparisons by putting HA's both Methods & Periods all at "1" and it was very close but not exactly what the Average price bars was showing, my conclusion is SYNERGY APB which is based on HA are a bit more accurate than HA, because it's calculated a bit differently (see below)

Quote
The bar close value is calculated differently:

Heikin Ashi:
Inserted Code
  haClose=(Open[pos]+High[pos]+Low[pos]+Close[pos])/4;
Average price bars (Synergy APB)
Inserted Code
  haClose = (Open[i] + High[i] + Low[i] + Close[i]) / 4.0;
  haClose = (haClose + Close[i]) / 2.0;

@maxzeus, thanks for having taken the time to provide such detailed an answer...

I am however using an HA Smoothed (lime/pink in my screenshot above) in conjunction with the ABP Synergy indicator (red / dodgerblue), indicator attached below

@Pbh - thanks for your reply which I do not understand. From my reading of your posts, you are more scalping on lower tf's - I have tried out your information / set files in the past but as said in my post, this is not my thing.

you can use the MA user input settings thats provided in the EA to mimic the HA moves just put your HA on the charts and Moving Average and find the MA that follows it

ex: 7 sma Shift 1
10 ema Shift 2
20 LWMA shift 1
50 Sma Shift 0

Anyone want to scalp?
I was looking at the THV system and I noticed they are scalpers (5min charts) and I thought.. why not?

We would just do this:
Choose whether to only buy, only sell or do both for the day, or trading session.

So, by looking at some past data... I noticed that this can be profitable.

I'll work on a template and show it here later.

I mixed some indis and I came up with a chart like this:

The problem with fully technical trading, is that you could have more losers if you don't even have in mind the fundamental factors that are surrounding price action moves.

Now let's see how my TMS chart looks like

Entry confirmations:

TDI cross (no slope)
5EMA shift 2 cross candle close
10SMA shift 2 cross candle close

Exit confirmations:

10SMA shift 2 cross candle close

SL settings:

I still need to work on this.
EDIT: Okay.. First setting would be set SL at BE after being +30 pips
EDIT 2.1: I think we don't need to jump stops or even trail.

Other settings:

We're no longer using Zone (since this is scalping)

*I will post the template later (in this same post) because I'm not done with the SL settings yet.
EDIT 2.2: Here's the template
* Please remember this is for the V19.

Recommendations:

I've noticed this works the best with USD crosses.
JPY crosses are too spiky right now... Even though you know they are my favorite pairs... It would still be the best for trending days like that last holiday I repeated a thousand times it was going to be a crazy bullish day, and guess what? it happened no cristal ball needed... Those are the kind of days it would outperform.

This past week we have seen political irrationality, so the market was irrational itself and JPY crosses would have not showed a good performance with this template.

So let's leave the JPY crosses to the 15min charts for a while.

I have thrown together an M15 EA that is based on PA, trying to get one long and one short trade from each London session. Will see what it will do this week. It looks good when looking at past charts, but they always do. Rather than using MAs and indicators, I am going to base it mainly on what the PA is doing. I have been looking for something that would scalp the shorter time frames and does not require being in front of the computer all the time. I spent a lot of time over on the THV forum and there are some traders making money from that system, but I believe it requires too much chart watching, I also wrote some programs using those ideas that were posted over there. Its a long read but a good one if you have time to read through what has been posted over there. Cobra and MissPips have done a lot of work, so if your interested in scalping the M1, take a look.
For now I am going to try to find something for the M15 using PA and see what I can come up with. For longer times, H1 and up I am going to stick to the TMS EA which I have running on a live account 5/24 and it is holding its own so far, just needs a little tweaking of the settings.

If anyone has any ideas on using just PA or what the computer could look for, please post it.
