Quoting tig07
The latest versions have slowed down the computer quite a bit. I noticed that especially when I went to another MT4 profile with no TMS or ETB as my default, then turned it off. When I reopened MT4 it came up much quicker. It could mean the latest version of ETB is bloated. Is there a way of making a much leaner version without all the bells and whistles… perhaps based on a much earlier version with a few of the essential newer options?
Btw, congratulations to you seller9 for finally opening this new thread. You have a masterpiece of an EA.
Hanover takes CPU power so if you don't use Hanover set it to false and don't attach the Recent Strength Indicator to any chart.

I am running an HP Quad and have had it running on 4 different demo accounts with Hanover running on all of them on the same HP PC all at the same time with no problem.
Go to the Hanover links on the first page and I believe there are some tips on how to speed it up.

If you leave Hanover off the EA is the same as it was before, nothing else has been changed that would cause it to go slower, other than Hanover.

The five demo accounts linked to on the first page have 12 pairs each with the EA running on all of them with no problems, at this time Hanover is not being tested on them. As you can see below the CPUs are just coasting along.

The processes that Hanover uses are not even called from within the program unless you have Hanover activated in the settings.

Here is with Hanover running on one of the Demo accounts with 12 pair, each having Hanover active in the EA.

Here is the updated Hanover Display Indy with the Period Display correction.

If anyone else is using it the problem is just a display problem where the Period display right after Hanover was being truncated to just 2 places, so if you were using M15 it would show up as M1, here is the corrected version. It did not affect how it worked.

Remember to set everything up just like you would for the EA with Hanover but use the Indy instead of the EA.

The higher time periods look better because that is what the TDI system was designed for. Will make some changes and see if I can improve the performance on the lower periods and also on the higher ones. It looks like the EA makes good entries but the exits are what makes the difference, I may try on my live account the H4 EA entries and then do a manual exit until I can teach the Robot what a good exit looks like. The Demo accounts will still be strickly all EA with no intervention until Friday, when I like to close my trades for the week. The set files I will be running next week have been posted on page #1.

M15:
Win = 7, +89.7 pips
Lose = 11, -188.8 pips
Summary = -99.1 pips

M30:
Win = 3, 52.8 pips
Lose = 5, 108.1 pips
Summary = -55.3 pips

H1:
Win = 11, 193.6 pips
Lose = 9, 252.3 pips
Summary = -58.7

H4:
Win = 5, 179.6pips
Lose = 5, 84.9 pips
Summary = +94.7

D1:
Win = 2, 71.8 pips
Lose = 3, 42.5 pips
Summary = +29.3 pips

Anyone using the EA please post your results, it would be nice to have more participation.

hey seller 9

thank for posting your results. have you considered a myfxbook account to track each timeframe demo?

i agree also that the exits are good, but sometimes good trades turn into a loss. would a trailing stop help in this regard?

Can someone explain this? I get this quite often on FXDD Demo accounts.
Why did it close on my Stop Loss if according to the chart the price never reached that price and looks like it went through my Take Profit?

OK, I didn' think the spread was that bad, but just went through the ones I am running the Demos on FXDD and here is what they are at this moment.
CHFJPY=13.0, EURCHF=16.6, EURGBP=7.5, EURJPY=5.0, EURUSD=2.4, GBPCHF=19.9, GBPJPY=7.4, GBPUSD=5.1, NZDUSD=10.2, USDCAD=5.2, USDCHF=10.2, USDJPY=3.6

Just checked them against my live account at a different Broker that they are not even close to the same.

Looks like when the trade was placed the spread was 12.1.
At my other broker right now it is 6.0 compared to 13.0 on FXDD Demo.

How can you do any kind of testing with C""" like this.

Brokers that are Dealer Desk (Market Makers) is not recommended, they usually don't have fixed spreads and they are known for re-quotes and to be STOP HUNTERS aka Crooks did'nt know they even do that on DEMO's

Only use a ECN/STP (DMA) type FX Brokers, DON'T USE any of the Above.

http://i.imgur.com/WND8a.png
but heres a list of Brokers to chose from check these pages to see which ones accepts "US residents" and that is ECN / STP (DMA) type brokers, also Fixed Spreads is good to have.

MT4 Forex Brokers
STP-ECN-Brokers
NFA-Registered-Forex-Brokers

:nerd:

DD — Dealing Desk Forex broker is called a Market Maker(known to manipulate quotes, Hunt Stops)
NDD — No Dealing Desk
ECN — Electronic Communications Network
STP — Straight Through Processing
DMA — Direct Market Access

I would like to hear from traders who are not using a Dealing Desk broker. I see there is a Broker Forum which I am going to check out, but thought I would drop the question here.
I signed up with MB for a demo account to see what they had, but when I tried to download their MT4 client it just hung at 90%, so that is not a good sign. Then when I did some searching around the web I see a lot of complaints about MB, so maybe I will scratch that one.

I looked over the list of Brokers in the information max posted but it is quite long, so thought maybe someone could save me the trouble of trying them all.

I am in the USA so I would like a Broker in the USA.

Thanks

Thanks for the info.

I was looking at your charts and was just wondering if you were using any special system or just PA trading? Also what time frame do you like?

Good Luck
