As I try to keep an open mind I have just setup a profile using your MTF indicator and will be comparing it to th profile I have been using after the market opens.
Thank you for the change in the indicator , if it works it greatly simplifies my charts.

FW
I think I saw the light and realized what you were wanting to do. I did something similar in the past to an indicator, but it was one using just the Green and Red squares to show an alert and it wanted to compare 2 different time frames on the same chart but wanted them to be in alignment. I think what you want is the indicators to align so you don't have to flip between charts and can stay on the M5 and see what the M30 is doing at that point in time, instead of being shifted as it is now. When you have just Green or Red alert squares it works out OK, but when you are using a line drawing of the indicator the drawing gets stretched and distorted so it doesn't look like the real M30 one. You can see examples of this over on the THV thread where they have a MTF indicator of the trix with Histogram, it gets stretched. For the life of me I can't remember what the one I did was for and a quick look through my files did'nt have anything pop out at me.
But if we go the adding it to the etb EA that is not a problem as the EA doesn't draw anything. Your alert system would require 5 alerts in the EA.
M5 ATR, M5 Stochastics, M5 RSI, M30 Stochastics, M30 RSI, is this correct? Of course they would all be adjustable.
These last 2 would be under the confirming indicators in the EA settings.

If this sounds like what you are looking for I can see if I can get them in and maybe test them with your settings this week.

Sorry for the missunderstanding about what you were looking for, sometimes it takes a while to get through.

Do you happen to have a track record of this method and if so how is it performing?

Good Luck

Initially the stochastic was added to match Eelfrantz's rules for TMA system where just the slope was important. But i'm pretty sure there's no problem adding a "range" setting to this filter.
Yes, thats the way it is set up now.

For a Buy it has to be climbing and between 20 and 80 and for a sell it has to be falling and between 20 and 80.

if(Stoch>PrevStoch && Stoch>20 && Stoch <80)StoSig=Buy
if(Stoch<PrevStoch && Stoch<80 && Stoch >20)StoSig=Sell

What I could do is add an option to select TMS rules or user selectable rules.

Restarton a new candle - True

Can you show a screen shot with the trade shown on it, just drag the trade unto the chart so I can see both arrows and trend line.

Hi maxzeus,

Thanks to you, will this work? Change to True if we want the Robot to take another trade after the first one close.

Extract from the manual:
AutoRestartRobot = false;
If you want the Robot to take only one trade, leave this at “false”, if you want the Robot to take another trade after the first one closes, set this to “true”.
Yes thats right, when set to FALSE it will take 1 trade then SLEEP forever

Well got it set up, lets see what happens.
You may want to post your rules and numbers you use so I can make sure I am using the right ones and also entering a trade at the right time.

What RSI values do you want to use for Buy and Sell triggers?
For ATR I am using pips, 4 and above for trigger.

Here is a shot of it running on 12 pairs right now, will see what happens through the night. Just trying 10 pip TP and 1 atr for stop loss right now to see if any trades are taken.
Trading M5 chart with confirmation from the M30, you can see this by looking at the alerts on the right side.
The ATR alert is Blue because it has no direction, just Blue for Good and yellow for no good.

Just noticed the Sto numbers being displayed by the alert are out of order, just a label problem Max, I will fix it.

Let me know if I should change something.

@seller9, subject to your bandwidth availability, i was thinking in lines of starting the ground work for the pivot EA. we will have a separate thread to focus on it.

please let me know to take it forward , or shall wait.

Pivot Trade EA,

Study the market and analyse the trend , ( first job when the EA is loaded into any security )

1. calculates the year piovt, month pivot, week pivot and day piovt.
2. uses the day pivot for taking trades, uses the month and week pivot to determine where the market is and where it is headed.
3. uses the year to give a broad outlook of where the security can go

Test Bed - we deal with EU and then on completion of the tests we move to other currency or security
Type and use of this EA is universal across all securities

Laws :

Law 1

when the market is opens near the support 1 it is a oversold market
when the market opens near the res 1 it is a overbot market
when the market opens near the pivot it is a normal market.

Law 2

ALL buy or sell must hit the t1 at any cost without hitting sl if it fails to hit t1
then it will hit sell side t3.


so when the ea loads it calculates all the things and displays on the screen , as no indicator is present the sceen can be effectively used to display information .
now it determines the type of market and get the sell and buy ready , if it triggers buy then it must hit t1 so the ea will just cover the buy price whn the price moves and then on brk of t1 it moves the sl to t1 minus 3 pips and so on and so forth till it brks t5 , scrip goes mad post t5.

in case t1 hit is missed it will hit t3 on the sell side to in this case it will not move the sl so fast on brk of each level instead it will hang on and move only post the t2 brks and covers full at t3 -2 pips.

Made a few more changes to the DTO logic and have started testing again to see what happens. Just 2 alerts on the chart now, DTO and ATR. I did modify the DTO alert indicator so I could extract the alert from it to keep in sync with it, so I am using that instead of the original. On the charts I have two different DTO indicators just for comparison, I see there is a slight difference between them, the EA is using the modified top one. You can see the atr has not met its minimum of 4 in these shots and no M5 trigger yet. The DTO alert is Orange which shows the M30 is in SELL Mode (seen on the second chart) and if we get a M5 trigger when in this mode and atr comes around it would trigger a trade. Will see what happens, as it is rather quiet right now so probably much won't happen.

Edit: You will notice on the M5 chart there is a Buy trigger present, but since we are in Sell Mode because of the M30 DTO this is ignored.

Hi Seller9

You promised to post your results from more testing from last week, any chance we could see how the testing is doing? Do you have any results regarding what currency pair performs better at what timeframe and such?
