Mr Seller9, sir

Why do you use TMA True rather than TMA indi, please ?

Thanks in advance.


Pierre.
Because TMA repaints so badly in the past it is hard to look at past charts and see what happened. So if you are going to do manual backtesting of the EA you can't. For the present candle it is OK, but when looking back and trying to see what happened and why a trade was or not taken it is no good. So when you look back in time on a chart and see a nice trade the EA missed it is probably because in real time those conditions for that trade were not present. Check out the following link

Pbh, I wanted to test your preset and was just wondering what sessions your 15 min preset trades. Is it allready suited for EST?

So one hour before London Session untill London End right? My Brooker Uses EST, thats why I was asking for EST. But Appearently it semmes to be ok the way Pbh set it (1-12 am).

No trades yet and a couple of errors...

2011.12.12 16:18:41 Synergy_APB GBPUSD,M15: uninit reason 1
2011.12.12 16:18:41 TMS_V22_MTFH GBPUSD,M15: uninit reason 5

also got uninit reason 3 in the past...

Do I need to set something right?

Edit: OK, found out, that EA uses local computer time. Thats why no trades were taken. Still, are the errors of importance or neglectable?

Weird day, EA trades: +43.6 pips (according to blazco's results sinec I didn't allow the EA to trade the whole time) Mmm.. had a lot of fake longs.

I really wasn't expecting this sell-off.. let's wait for the FOMC to say something about QE3.

---

Seller, a question... if I have Jumping stop set to true, after BE only and my BE is set at +40 pips.

Will it be like this:
+40 and stop is placed at BE
+80 and stop will be moved to +40, or, +80 and Jumping stop activates but jumps at +120? cause today, according to what I want, this stop might have been jumped.

PBH,

I'm not sure if that might help, please have a look at the file below, if this options are derived from MPTM by SH you should find the answer.

JumpAfterBreakevenOnly: use this in cooperation with BreakEvenSettings to manage longer-term or positional trades. If set to 'true', this will force
JumpingStop to wait until the sl has been moved to breakeven before operating.

Thanks, so we're fixing that. Here's the (probably) last template.

despite the bad start, my day closed green - not bad for such a "weird day"

When we finish with the right setfiles for the hanover, 15min charts, Seller's fractal idea, etc... I think we should open separate threads for each of the strategies, what do you think ?

So one hour before London Session untill London End right?
Actually from the Asian close (yes, 1 hour before London open) until London end + 1 and a half hours (London close is at 11:30 EST, and we allow the EA to trade until 13:00 EST).

in case somebody wants to use its own templates and just switch new sets here is the one im going to use - made on PBH templates - with:

 

  1. jumping stop and brakeven stuff OFF.
  2. Auto lot with 0.75% risk
  3. time settings to match a GMT+2 broker

Damn time zones... damn server time, damn local time. Im still having a hard time to wrap my head around it

For the sake of other (and mine) comfort, lets put things straight:

in GMT time markets stay awake:

and this tranlates to EST as following:

so...
if my broker server time is GMT+2 i want to run the EA from 9am (broker time) to 8 pm (broker time) - right?
