Is there anyone out there demo trading using the indi's (TMA and OSMA filters). The originator of the thread Mr Dragosd assures me that it is o.k. to post your findings HERE, not in the main thread.

As I said before, I work full time and cannot monitor the charts as often as I like to.

Any feedback would be most wellcome, positive or otherwise. M10 or M15 charts, it does not matter.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers.

I have trouble converting JForex ticks data from Dukascopy to FXT files.

The downloaded EURUSD.CSV file decimal separator is a comma rather than a dot. My locale is English locale which should have given a dot separator.

Help from anyone please ?

Cheers.

In case anyone is wondering how to use the OSMA filter.

For longs, wait for the osma bar to get above zero, and vice versa for shorts.


Cheers.

Yesterday was a good day for this system. Many of you would have got at least 60 pips.

I was analysing yesterday's charts on M15 and noted that the TMA indi did filter out three profitable entries.

However, you can see the PO's were very close to the middle TMA line (yellow) even though they were above it.

This is an illustration of where no rules should be set in stone. There were bullish news coming out from the EU summit at the time, the stock indices were rising, it would be logical to take the longs for the currency pairs that we are...
Would you be willing to share your template with set file including the additional indicators you have on your chart? Thank you

Hi Lotabulstool,

The set file is attached below. I use the same set files for all the pairs I am testing on M15 TF.

The indi's are posted in #205. You do not require the TDI indi's for this system. But if you want to try them, go to Trading made simple thread here in FF and click on the paper clip at the top right hand corner and you will find TDI indi there.


Cheers.

P.S. Sorry for the delay. I was having difficulty attaching the set file to this post.

One thing I forgot to mention in my previosu posts is that the TMA indi repaints.

So, to review yesterday's chart for instance, attach the TMA true indi instead, and the bands would be what the EA was "seeing in real time" yesterday.

There has been a lot of debate in various threads in FF already about the repainting issue. You can easily find them by putting a SEARCH in FF. I do not have the expertise to discuss the merits or de-merits of the indi, and hence will not participate in any such debate if it arises.

Suffice it to say that in real time, it appears to be of some benefit. You are very entitled to disagree. And if you do, just do not use it.

This is Mr Dragosd's thread on the EA. We would not want to clutter it with other issues which is better discussed else where in FF.

Cheers.

Anyone who is interested to know more about the difference between TMA Centred indi and TMA True indi, please pay a visit to NB 1.0 Trend Trading System posts #40, #46, #70, #73 and #92 here in FF.

From what I can gather from the discussion there, both indi's appear similar in real time. But the bands changed with TMA centred for older charts whereas they stay the same for TMA true. So, in reality, while trading in real time, both indi's look the same.

I am a huge fan of Sir Bob and have followed many of his threads in FF.

P.S. Instead of the TMA (centered) indi, I have now attached the TMA True indi to all my charts.

Hi, I hope most of you caught the big move this a.m. at Frankfurt open.

I was analysing the M5 charts during the weekend, and found more profitable entries than the M!0 or M15.

So, I set up 9 charts (GU,GJ,EU,EJ,AU,AJ,UJ,USDCHF and USDCAD to start at 7 am GMT using the template settings I posted earlier.

Guess what, the trades were taken so quickly from 8 am, I do not think I would have caught all of them.

End result after one hour = 127 pips !!

Amazing ! Hope you are all having as much fun as I am.


Cheers,
Pierre.

P.S. This bot would be even more amazing if Mr Dragosd has time to add the OSMA filter.

Correction : I meant 7 am GMT.

Prices have now retraced. If anyone is trading a basket, then should consider using a basket closure utility like Sir Steve's MPTM.

As quickly as the profits come, they will disappear just as quickly. So, if you set a basket closure of 50 or 100 pips, then it would save your profit from being taken away.

How can I prevent the EA from entering such a trade? Manually we would not enter this one ...

Most of the acton was at the start of trading today. After that prices retraces and then traded sideways.

This is not a set and forget robot. One has to set a target for the day, be it 30 or 50 pips. Then, shut up shop and wait for start of trading again the next day. If you let it run continuously from 7 am to 4.30 pm. it will eat into account for sure.

Hope you all had a good day's trading today.

Hi Pierre
Youre right i think it would be better to turn off the robot after a target for the day is reached, im trying youre set file trading 7am-11am then 2pm-3.30pm ill let you know how it pans out.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for your response. MM is just as important when trading with an EA. How often have you come across a scenario where you are 50 pips up at the start of trading, only to lose it all when price retraces. As Nanningbob says in his threads, what goes up must come down.

I just come across what a senior member posted in Sir Steve's forum. He said that your EA's are like the junior trading assistants in a financial institution. You give them a set of rules to trade but they should be supervised while they are trading, taking into account the fundamentals, pivot points, S/R zones, etc. Pearls of wisdom !

Good luck with your trading.


Cheers,
Pierre

Guys,

I thought that this EA was coded to trade only during the prime trading times and not 24/7. So, are you referring to a shutdown during the prime trading times after a reasonable return was realized?

Just wondering.

Hi Doc,

Just like to add that setting a target for the session would be contrary to the original rules of the Fratelli system which is to trade all signals.

However, in its short life, you can see that that strategy is unlikely to be viable in the long run.


Cheers,
Pierre.
