Quoting seller9
Thought I would give your idea a try with the 2 MAs. I am trying it on the D1, H4, and H1 time frames. Just started today but good results so far. I have been also playing around with the BE, seeing if I can get it to work without all the errors, so I have it set to BEPIPS = 20 and BEPROFIT = 5 to see what will happen. I am also using no Take Profit, just letting it run until it hits the exit signal.

See image below for what it has done on the H4 in that short period, this is really the KISS approach, can't get much simpler, and its all automatic,...
Nice results seller9

Here is the one loser from that previous post, I just wanted to show how the exit rule got me out rather quickly when the direction changed.

This is probably a better exit than others, hopefully can try it to replace my exit (5ema candleclosed, candlecolorchange, and trailing)

[quote=seller9;5343170]Thought I would give your idea a try with the 2 MAs. I am trying it on the D1, H4, and H1 time frames. ...

Thats nice and simple isn't it !!

Thats why I like it, besides MA cross at H4 (in my case 5EMA shift2&5LWMA which is very similar to 5&10 EMAs) is filtrating the false TDI signals.
I use it together wwith TDIC1 - H1, and Hannover at H4, but your Coral might be a good alternative.

The good exit is still a pain to me - with the 130 error.
Now I'm not using BE anymore -> just the :

UseCandleStickTrailingStop=true
CandleStickTrailingStopBarsBack = 1;
CandleStickTSpipOffset = 10;

And still got the 130 Errors when the EA wants to move the SL.

hey jacob if you're going live must mean you've hit a sweet spot with the settings! can you tell us if or when you will share the setfile?

also why use a dealing desk broker? its not a scalper so you dont need like 1 pip fixed spreads so why not just go with a reputable ECN broker?
Hi,

Hmmm, good question, in fact I don't need to open the micro account in DD broker.
Will try to find someone in Europe - for ECN micro account. thanks! there is no hurry.

Regarding my set file - Its not ready yet - SL settings are still a PITA(pain in the ass), but will give you what I have later today.

Here it is:

Referring the broker, it depends.

In micro account it wouldn't probably matter - MM,DD or ECN,STP.

In a real deal live account thats what can help or destroy my efforts.

I will be thinking about this when will become the BIG BOY in the GAME

Now lets focus on testing and developing the perfect set file !!

Please post your results after week, two, three etc.

Hi,

GMT+1.

This week so far two trades -> both profits, +30 and +15.

I expect you would do the same -> put on the chart analysing and posting the results-> thats why I'm posting mine set up and resluts ->with hope someone would take it and do the same.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

thanks!

Hi
I am trying to have the setting which triggers the trade as soon as a candle closes with a tdi cross. However, whatever I do the trade is triggered when the second candle is closed. I feel like a right idiot and I do not know what I am doing wrong. have attached my set file plus the image of the current EURUSD trade, the TF is 4H.

I would be most grateful if seller9 or someone else could look at the set file attached in zip file and point me to the right direction.

Kind regards

Hi Seller,

This looks very interesting. This question might have been answered earlier, I searched for it in the thread, but didn't find it. When I try to back test the EA, it opens one trade and then doesn't open any other trades. Is there a reason for this? Am I missing a setting that I need to toggle for back testing? Thanks
  • #192
  • Feb 2, 2012 9:35am Feb 2, 2012 9:35am
Yes.. there is an option just at the beginning of the setting parameters... I don't recall how it is called but is very obvious...
It forces the EA to shut itself down after one trade

Autorestart robot - true (you have probably false).

Download the manual from a few postes before it will save your time and money - its could not be written simplier.

Hi,
only input from a newbie, for good answer is from seller9 of course
i see your set up is very simple (kiss), only 3 filter/alert

i trade only pair eu, if i see when that first candle close (4/8 hour ago) tdi slope not reached 4, so it not take a trade.
i think slope 4 for 4h tf is too big, i use slope 2 or 2.5 for 1h tf, maybe with slope 3 or 2.5 it can open a trade on the close of first candle

sorry if there wrong, i'm still learn here

thanks

2 things could of caused that late entry just by looking at your screenshot

1- the Static TDI ?
2- TDI Slope was'nt in the criteria at the time, so it did'nt trigger a signal

maybe try H4 TDI DYNAMIC or TDI H1 Static instead ? while keeping your other settings the same

so just two trades huh? good that they're both positive...just seems in contrast to your post on #161 where you had about 14 trades for the week on H4. is this is a newer less regular trading setfile?

Thanks MAX and Tribe. I thought the slope may have been the culprit but looking at other trades slope is within the limits. Thanks for the input, I very much appreciate it.

The only thing I see is the slope was probably not quite right. Hard to tell from screen shot as it redraws all the time.

Version 1.04 has been posted on the first page along with an updated manual. This latest manual is a little different than the one I posted a week ago for everyone to look at, there are some changes.

Because of Max's hard work at finding all the Bugs there are quite a few changes in the code. The Break Even and jumping Stop have been completely re-coded and have been combined into one. I only had one day to try it and it took a trade and went to Break Even and then continued with 3 Jumps after that before the trade ended, so it seems to be working but needs more testing.

You will notice I have removed the Hide SL and TP for now, will put them back later on after Max has another list of bugs. Also removed the trailing stop as the JS can do the same thing.

Several of the Close trade signals have also been re-coded.
1) Use5emaCandlClosed
2) UseCandleColorChangeClose
Added Close Trade Signal
1) UseOpenCloseChange (as I explained in a previous post this can at times be faster than a candle color change close as it uses the normal Open and Close and not the Candle's Open and Close for its signals.

Also added the 2 ma's for a crossing signal.

Good Luck
