Hi,

Sorry for mistake, the pbh M15 settings is the old ones and I'm not using it aynmore -> I use the H1 posted below instead -> and this gave me the 128 pips -> and this week its also rocking !!

try this one and have fun!

The glory comes to Maxzeus -> cause the H1 and H4 original set ups are his idea -> I just adjusted it slightly.
thanks ...

if your still using the TMS v22 i suggest switching to ETB and try my SET FILES i re-created for it, as i recall i made the same settings within this new EA.

will recheck it in case and confirm later

Mr Seller9, Sir

Great thread you have here !

I have been busy with work lately, and haven't had much time to do any testing.

I have found that part closing a trade at breakeven at x pips rather than taking x pips profits at breakeven tends to give more room to breathe for the remainder of the trade.

I tried using Steve Hopwood's MPTM EA to part close the trade at breakeven and had found that the stop loss is triggered prematurely a few seconds after the trade is open. Did not have the same problem with some other EA's.

I wonder whether it is possible to add this as an option to the ETB. I am sure it will improve its overall performance.

Thanking you in advance.

Cheers,
Pierre

So there's a lot here I have to assimilate. Really liking what I'm seeing with the efficiency, guidance and kindness of the posters. That's becoming rare here in the FF.

So grateful I'm finding a good strategy and system that's getting me off scalping!

Guys,

I really think this EA has a great potential, I am :

Testing-checking the results-modyfing- posting the results and back to beginnig.

I won't stop until I will discover the best set up (I also think it will never be purely automat - and will need slight manual intervention - thats how it is with ea's).

The one week of succes does not mean anything to me - what we need is :
consequency and time -> dedication of few people that will test the set ups -> openes and sincerity with sharing the good/bad results -> a bright minds with experience to advise which set up might help us to improove.

This will give us a success.

You can be proactive and we can do it together - it will take three to six months ( I BELIVE ) to start earning real money (50-100 pips a week) with good set up.

You can also just read -> download the set ups and do what you want with it -> its up to you.

Please consider this and have a look at the MaxZeus signature at the bottom of his posts.

I believe we can find 1-4 people with character that will use their experience/skills to help us develop this EA.

take care!

im constantly tweaking my settings and testing other new settings thats in the EA if it works well with each other or not, you can see my trades in my profile and the most $ i lost was because of my FUTURES testing, but im still at my original deposit amount of 3k, and as i stated before i wil post other SET FILES when i find good ones for now the ones you have with TMS and those posted in post #1 (suppose to be the same as the TMS version still gotta check )

now im only concentrating on H1 / H4 & Daily some with Dual TF's as usual and mostly based on TMS, will post if i get other good SET FIles.

see my trades here "Trade Explorer"

My brain is not working to great at this moment and was wondering if someone could tell me why this trade closed?

It appears the EA did not close it as I got no alert from the EA that it was closeing it.

hard to tell since i don't have v1.04 but i took a quick look at your SET FILE, i think it's the BreakEven settings that triggered the Stop Loss to be hit early or your broker just STOP HUNTED your SL point.

It seems if you have "HideBreakEvenStop" set to true it uses the "PipsAwayFromVisualBE" to close the trade.

void BreakEvenStopLoss()
{
if (HideBreakEvenStop)
{
bool TradeClosed = CheckForHiddenStopLossHit(OrderType(), PipsAwayFromVisualBE, OrderStopLoss() );
if (TradeClosed) return;
}

This is part of the original EA.

I got a lot of very small winning trades as it would close a trade and then open it again as the signal was still present.

14 winning trades and no losses.

Maybe thats good, just use larger lots, was using .01.

These are all from the 17th on the H1

Great to see you're back Seller!

I would also post my results from last week later today - H1 is doing well

One remark -> I'm not sure what is your MT4 clock (I'm in GMT +1), but I stopped trading at night cause the prior month night trades in 95% were losing ones. Last night could be different cause the bank holiday in US.

Please advise, thanks

Was playing around with some of the new settings under test in v1.04 and came across something that may turn out to be interesting when used on the M15 chart. I was using Candle pattern #1, which is a very laggy pattern, R-R-R-Cross-B-B-B all confirmed candles, and you would take the trade on the 4th Blue candle for a Long, a short would be the oppostie colors. With the settings shown below in the charts I got 1 winner and 6 losers. So I thought if I would just reverse the type of trade and take the opposite trade I would have had 6 winners and 1 one loser, RIGHT. So I added the code to the EA to do this and the next night I got 3 winners and no losers using all the same settings but just taking the oppostie trade. It seems like these settings are catching those "Reversals" you get durring the London session. I need to do some more testing as one night is not enough, but looks promissing. This is only possible in version 1.04 at this time which should be out shortly as soon as I can type up the changes I have added to it.

The first screen shot of each trade below shows the actual alerts at the time the trade was taken, as you can see they are both saying to go long, but we took the opposite trade as shown in the second screen shot of each trade, very interesting.

The Stop Loss is a little wide and the Take profit a little narrow, but this was for testing.

Here you go,

One remark to my previous post - I stopped trading at night only at H4 - at H1 I'm still 24h a day ....based on that I think I might loose some pips last night....anyway - this night I will let him chasing the pips

Great!

Would you please post your result for last week the same way I did ?

I am using the same H1 set up with two small changes - we could compare the results.
