Quoting Jacob-
Seller,

I am actually testing two versions of your system for a few days.

Max V19 H4 set up
PBH V22 M15 my own set up

From this time at the forum another 5 or 6 new st ups have appeared.

What do you think about managing this somehow?

Can we decide who will test which version (10 people should be enough) and would be posting the results every lets say week? to do the good testing 1-4 weeks of present results should be enough.

If any new versions would appear we will arrange another people to test it to help us find the optimimum set up...
Its always a good idea to do the testing on the latest version as it has any bugs that have been found fixed. I know new versions have been comming out rather quickly but I think maybe I can keep that down to a slower pace as I think we have enough to work with in the present version 1.03. I don't know if you can get 10 people as I haven't seen that many posting there results so far, but if you like you can get something started here on this forum. Here are the 4 set files I will be testing this week. I have tried to name them in such a way as we know how to tell them apart and also who they came from and which version they are for and also the time frame they pertain to.

The first 2 for the M15 are the same accept #1 has "AutoRestart" set to true, the others have it set to false so they will take only one trade.
The h1 and h4 are the same accept for the time frame.
The H1 and H4 are using settings that replicate the Big E method. They are trading the London session and only looking for a trade for the first 10 minutes of the second Blue or Red candle after a confirmed cross.
The two M15s are using settings similar to what Pbh is using but with TDI Slope added and also Last Fractal High/Low added also.

Remember the settings time in these files are "CST", so be sure to change these to match your time zone settings.

etb_v1.03_m15_#1_seller9 Demeo EURUSD,GBPUSD,EURJPY,GBPJPY
etb_v1.03_m15_#2_seller9 Live EURUSD,GBPUSD,EURJPY,GBPJPY
etb_v1.03_h1_#1_seller9 Demo EURUSD,USDCHF,USDJPY,GBPUSD,EURGBP,EURCHF,EURJPY,GBPJPY,GBPCHF,CHFJPY,NZDUSD,USDCAD
etb_v1.03_h4_#1_seller9 Demo EURUSD,USDCHF,USDJPY,GBPUSD,EURGBP,EURCHF,EURJPY,GBPJPY,GBPCHF,CHFJPY,NZDUSD,USDCAD

I have zipped them up so just unzip them and place them in your "Presets" folder to use, or open with Notepad if you want to see what the settings look like.

maybe etb_v1.03_be_seller9 can take this trade with change :

MinTdiSlope=3
Candle2TradeWindowMinutes = 90
CandlePattern3 = true
UseTdiCross = false
UseTDIC1=true
TdiC1TimeFrame=H4

for safety

UseJumpingStop=1
JumpingStopPips=25
AddBEP=0
JumpAfterBreakevenOnly=0
HideJumpingStop=1
PipsAwayFromVisualJS=2

if CandlePattern1 can do the job like in pdf file (just 2 same color candle before) maybe this monster can take trade more in h4 chart..
2 candle in h4 chart is long time, maybe we got good pattern entry..
I think Candle Pattern #1 was changed from what was in the PDF, check post 2627 for the latest candle patterns the EA is using. I believe I found the original Candle Pattern #1 was taking too many bad trades so I changed it.

If anyone wants other candle patterns added that can be done, but what I need first is some history of the new pattern working and in conjunction with what other settings. It has to be a proven winner.
Right now I believe #2 and #3 have the best record.

Good Luck

Ok here is the plan, please advise what do you think guys.

1. I'll create a file at google docs.

2. The file will contain basic datas about who is testing which versions and would like to share the results with us weekly.

3. You will PM me if you would like to participate (test, and post results weekly) and I will give you the link to the google docs document.

4. Then every weekend I will try to contact each of you who agreed to test one/two/three/any you will be able to handle and ask you to post the weekly results at our current thread.

5. At the end we will try to optimize together and start testing the updated versions.

By doing this we will have a clear view who is testing which version and with which set ups. We would be able to post the testing list here so anyone new interested in one of the set up can contact the set up owner and ask the question etc.

We will manage the informations and share with the others.

Please advise what do you think, what would you add, what would you change.

If you are interested PM me -> to let me know, I will wait two-three days to see how many people are interested and then start the process.

Waiting for your thoughts!!!

Hi seller9

I would like to ask you, if is not too much, to add an option to tell EA to go to sleep after closing a trade until the end of the candle. This will surely help EA not to enter into a very bad trade.

For example : If you have a jumping stop, and a setup that set the SL at the previous fractal, Imagine what happens if the jumping stop is hit in that candle, the EA enters again(because the conditions are still in place), and the price goes south in that second trade. It will burn your account instantly.

Another interesting option is to set a maximum number of pips from the 5ema, that will allow the EA to enter the trade after validating all others conditions. This will help not to enter in long candles, possible almost exhausted. Imagine entering on 1H in a trade after a 75 pips candle. There is a chance that the trend will continue, but more often the price will stall, or sharply reverse. his will help also to minimize the exposure if not so conservative SL are used, like previous HH/LL or fractal.

Keep up the good work and thank you for your effort.

it's a good idea you might as well use MyFxBook.com or even better here on FF Trade Explorer, would be easier to manage IMO

but if you get people like me that often tweak/update settings it's gonna give some people headaches

basically im keeping the TMS based strategy example with BigE's - Xmans - Phx62 - Britpip7 - Rocky styles and try to replicate them but with minor tweaking of my own.

also trying some other strat ideas like seller9's and PBH's but with some additions.

here everyone

i opened a "Trade Explorer" here on FF, so you can view my Trades, im only using this EA "Experts ToolBox" also i kept the lots & profits hidden because it's irrevelant, what count it's the win/loss ratio in pips

http://www.forexfactory.com/maxzeus

so Jacob your Good Idea will be easier for you, now you can keep track of my Trades i suggest others do the same, we are here to help each other and aiming to get several good Winning strats (settings) working. i'll post which setups im using with each pair later.

i think we can set up several "Trade Explorer" if some are testing other EA's or other setups with other brokers (just click on your name and look on the top/left side bar)

basically an option of 1 trade per candle ? or specifying how many trades per candle allowed ?

if im understanding this correctly

it would help on the multiple open/close trades on the same candles that could happen sometimes.

Just some information on how to use set files. A set file is just a copy of your EA properties that has been saved so you can reload it and don't have to type in all the settings again in the EA properties window. Also you can load other .set files that are posted on the forum without having to type in all the settings. To save a set file open the properties window of the EA.

I may have second thoughts on entering those at this time, they seem to resemble some of the settings that are already there, for now I think I am just going to fix "BUGS" that show up. Hopefully we can get more traders to try different setups and post them, than maybe at that time we can decide on what it will take to make the EA a little better, but until we get some hard facts on different settings it doesn't pay to keep adding filters, as it only means we will have many more combinations to try. What I do now is at the end of a trading session is look over all the charts of the trades and see why the EA took the trade and if it followed the rules I had set up in my filters. At times I find it did not follow the rule correctly so I go back and fix the code so it does, funny thing about computer logic is it does not always make sense to us mere mortals, thats why it is always important to use the latest version as there could be fixes that are not obvious. If its a bad trade I look to see what I could have done differently or added so the EA would not have taken the trade without eliminating too many of the winners. Most traders just try to get the middle third of a run, anyone who says they can get in at the exact top and get out at the exact bottom are just pulling my leg. I am very happy with just this 3rd of a run and consistant wins, I believe that is our goal.

So all you traders who are using the EA please give us some input, or are we wasting our time in a hopeless project.


Good Luck

Good idea Max, I will try and get one set up for my M15 set file later on before the London Market opens. Of course you know what happens once you start posting results, everything goes south.

Can you create more than one per user?????

well i see on the bottom of my "Trade Explorer" we can add another account, but i only use 1 Demo at a time...but i'll try to add the older demo thats still active and test if we can put multiple accounts


EDIT: yes we can add multiple Live or Demo Accounts don't look at the win/loss ratio of the "TEST TMS EA" it's a mess it went thru all the TMS versions and for several weeks some other EA's, still not bad i still managed to keep the account LIVE for 2 months an i still have funds lol


also look above where Forums / Calendar / News / Markets / Trade (beta) you'll see other users using this function and theres a lot of live accounts

I think I will do 5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1 and see what happens. I see you can't activate them until they make some trades, so I will wait a day or two until some trades take place in each one, could be a while on the longer time frames. Will do 12 pair on each one and these will all be demo accounts.

ok i'll try version 18 to see candle pattern #1 do

what about set up 1 trade at london and 1 trade at u.s?
my set time just can set for asian open and london open, but i dont like trade at asian sesion, its low volume.

if i set trading hour :

Morning Hours 0-12
start_hourm=0
end_hourm=0

Evening Hours 12-24
start_houre=14
end_houre=16

that set up just can trade at 1 hour before london open until 1 hour after london open. can we set trading hour 24 hour that i mean i can trade morning hour (14~16 = 3 hour london session) and evening hour (20~22 = 2 hour u.s session)??
