Got it, thank you !!

So now it should not open more then 3 trades global and the nr 3 in the last position of W/L/A -> will show 3 (when the third trade will be open) at each chart and the EA will not open 4th trade.

Cool

I am still doing some more work on the Auto Open Trade, so there still may be a problem with it oppening more than one trade on the same candle.

Did you try the latest I posted on Post #1 last night?
Yes, but I probably wasn't clear in explaining the issue, sorry,
The multyplying trades do not show again so the version from post 1 removed the bug#1.(thank you)

What I meant was that the exit with:

usedynamictdicloseoncross

was not triggered correctly (was triggered in wrong tdi cross direction).

ok, i'll keep my "Candletrailstop" for tonight, you test the JS, then if i get trades with errors i'll switch to JS on the USD/SGD pair afterwards.

but something interesting i had the "130 errors" with the EPH2 also today, but like i said earlier today, i forgot to put CandleTrailStop to TRUE it was at FALSE and i had "UseFuturesCSTSL" to TRUE and i was getting those errors

things to make you go hmmmmm
If CandleStickTrailingStop = false the UseFuturesCSTSL should have no affect on anything.

Make sure you use multiples of 0.25 for these numbers, not pips.

FuturesTSOffSet=0.25;
FuturesBEOffSet=0.25;

When you get the 130 errors are you within the Min Stop Level by chance?

Since using BE and JS I have not gotten the 130 error as I am always 25 pips away from the Bid when using 20, 5, 5 when the SL is moved and I always start out at 2 * ATR for the SL.

With FXDD the minimum Bid to SL space ranges from 16 to 6 pips depending on the Pair.

That trade closure should have created a screen shot if you have them turned on. Can you take a look at the screen shot when the trade was closed and see what the tdi looks like, sometimes the chart after the fact looks different, post the screen shot if you have it.

Thats one of the problems when using dynamic, the signal flickers back and forth.

I think in the next version you will have the option to only look for exits on the start of a new candle.

Hi, Thanks for info, charts attached.
I can see by the screen shots that the TDI reversed on you 32 minutes and 22 seconds after you entered the trade, thats why the dynamic TDI took you out of the trade. The EA uses the TMS-Osc indicator for its information. I see you are using the TDI Red Green indicator which does not give you up to the tic information like the TMS-Osc does, which is real time, so it looks like everything did what it was suppose to do. You can see in the first screen shot, which is the close of the trade, the TDI has reversed, (look at the TDI Histo). Rather than useing the TDI Red Green indicator you should use the TMS-Osc, as it is real time and you would see that it had also reversed, just like the TMS-Histo did.
Dynamic TDI watches the present candle and if you watch the TMS-Osc or TMS-Histo indicators you will see them change back and forth, thats why you may want to use the Static, which waits for the candle to close so it is stable, it can change many times within the 4 hour period before the candle closes.

Good Luck

Make sure you use multiples of 0.25 for these numbers, not pips.

> so this narrows down the errors, IMO they are caused by something in the CandletrailStop settings and/or the min pips by the broker, including with my testings below and yours

With FXDD the minimum Bid to SL space ranges from 16 to 6 pips depending on the Pair.

> just checked with my broker it's between 5 pips to 10 pips maximum
please read my question above.

before i updated to the FIXED version i had set last night EPH2 with my favorite CandleTrailStop with Futures enabled and default 0.25 and i got the 130 errors and it was'nt setting the SL's on EPH2 and on some other pairs,

then this afternoon i took out completly the CandleTrail and added JS / BE in futures terms 1 point is 100 pips, so i did a BE/JS 400/100/100 with a SL set @ 400 (or 4pts) had orders triggered but no SL was set

then i just read what you said above and i simply pretended to make a market order on EPH2 it says the SL needs to be 100 pips away in Futures thats 1 pt, so maybe the 0.25 offset with 1 candletrail is'nt enoough, so i'll retest the CandleTrail with an offset 0f 1.00 to make sure it does'nt play games and report back

thanks seller9 for the new fixed version will retest what i've said above.

Yesterday and Today was'nt pretty lol but the losses were minimized with the closing settings on the (H4) but on the (H1) i need to tweak them or test the JS / BE instead of CandleTrailStop.

for the Futures the CandleTrailStop worked 3 outta 4 times, so the Offset of 1.0 helped but still gave me the 130 errors on it

Hi Seller,

I'm trying to set up the Stochastic to W1 period as a filter but instead of W1 the EA is showing the H1 period.

The values are from W1 period its just a matter of correct visualization. Would you please advise if this can impact something else or I can live with it??

Thank you in advance!!

Its OK, its just a display error, ADX is also wrong, will fix in next version.
These will not affect how it works, it only displays the wrong period.

One thing I am going to add to the next version is an option when you open the EA on a pair that has a open trade running it will give you the option to let the EA look for another trade on the same pair or just manage the pair. I have found at times I have manually opened trades but want to let the EA attached to the chart, this way I can do that and also turn on the restart function so after this first trade closes it will look for another trade if I want.

I have been jumping around testing different things and tweaking the Ea so don't have any long term results to post, kind of a so so deal this week.

i tested the EA by doing a Manual Trade and it managed it, that was last month tho, but this will be a cool addon

also theres a Tiny Bug when you select both of these to TRUE --2 MA Cross-- with ----MA Candle Close-- it creates an empty spot, basically not diplaying the 2MA cross, but when they are selected alone it shows

This was just using the 5 and 10 ema cross for the alert.

UseOpenCloseChange = true
CloseTradeAtOpenOfNewCandle = true
TradeClosureAfterProfit = true
UseBreakEven = true
BreakEvenPips = 15
BreakEvenProfit = 5
JumpingStopPips = 5

Winners = 3 +60 pips
Losers = 2 -37 pips
Open = 3

Profit = +23 pips

Fixed in next version, they were both using the same lable name causing the problem. Doesn't affect the way it works, just the way it is displayed.

hmmm,

Very interesting approach, great idea, keep testing please, I can't wait the results!!

I'm still testing Hannover at H4 with ma5-10cross two set ups

and two set ups at H1 - one with THV with ma5-10cross, and second with a Stochastic at higher timeframes as a trend filter.

So far rather lossess thats why I'm not posting, but I feel that this week we will have a breakthrough!!

good luck !

Seller, Max,anyone?

Based on the EA trade entry, which MA cross will happen sooner:

1. LWMA + EMA shift 2 ......or

2. EMA5 & EMA10 ?

I think the LWMA+EMA shift 2 shoul give the earlier signal but I'm not sure how the EA exactly works.

thanks !!

P.S. this week is interestig, a lot of news a lot of entries and a lot of thinking...
