Hi Jacob,

Attached is my setting for 15M and 1H. Thanks alot.

Hi,

I think that:

1.M15 set up - AutoRestartRobot=0 CHANGE IT TO - 1 - .

Go to MaxZeus posts - #494 and #473 and Manual from 1st page for details.

2. H1 set up - well thats very very detailed entry signals:

- D1 fractal break
- H4 - EMA 5/10 cross
- stochastic D1
- TDI cross H1
- M15 trend signal 2/8

and I can imagine that all of this parameters won't be in the same line (short or long) too often - with this settings you must be quite patient

I was using similar set up and no single trade was taken for a three weeks...

good luck

weird they are both set to TRUE and it immediatly triggered another SELL

i use this for Viewing my Trades, it takes the info from the "Account History Tab" and automatically puts it on the chart with the arrows and squares showing your trades very usefull.

Seller, Max, Guys,

Multiple trades on one candle again...any ideas ??? thanks

If you have Use2maCrossLock = true change to false. That's what I did and the problem was solved.

Seller,have you noticed that when you go to an open chart with the MTF indicator you will see a chart that is totally different from the chart you see if you hit the refresh button, where as the template I have been using with the 3 different charts is always correct without having to refresh.

I am checking on it, a bug must have flown in the window.

The DTO add on has taken a lot of time this week so no real tests yet. I have just started up a test using the DTO system and will see how it goes over night.

I have been doing a lot of work on the DTO system this week and tonight I think I have it far enough along to maybe get in some tests on what I have so far. I have added code to the EA that now does all the calculations that the DTOSC indicator use to do, so you no longer need the indicator other than for looks and to see if the EA is giving the signal at the right time.

Do you have any rules for Take profit when on the M5 and M30 settings?

I have been keeping it real simple, move to B/E at +5then if I get up over 10 usually move to 2-3 TS.

Testing has been going real slow as some bugs have showed their ugly head and I don't want to post something that will give you problems right off the bat. Here is a simple trade from last night using the settings shown in the info display that is still open.
9/26 ma LW with lock on and also the fractals break and the BEJS settings.
Sorry have to run.

I don't know why the ea v 1.07 is closing 2nd half of the trade before the 2nd target. Has anyone encountered the same problem? How does TPMultiplier work? I set mine at 5.

5 times ATR(7)PIPS ~ 135pips

The stop loss that was originally sent with the order to the Broker should have been the Price when order was sent plus 135 pips. The partial take profit should be Price when order was sent plus what ever you had set for "TakeProfitPipsTargetOne". When this first target is hit the "LotsTargetOne" get closed and whats left will wait for the original target that was sent to the Broker. This is if no close trade alerts are hit first if any are set up.

The multiplier is just a number multiplied times the ATR you are using. In your case it looks like it should have been around 5 x 27 = 135pips. Add this to the price when trade is placed and you should get your SL that is sent to the Broker.

Remember you need StopLoss to be set to zero for this to work, if you set any StopLoss then it will over ride all others, so leave it at zero.

Is this what you are looking for? You can set the minimum number of pips it takes to trigger a trade and the maximum it will allow before for a trade to take place.

Hi Seller9

I made a change to override the multiplier as you can see here but the EA still closed the 2nd half of the trade.

OK, I think I found the BUG. The Partial trade flag was being reset when it should not have been causing the EA to take another Partial Trade which would in your case close the rest of the Trade.

Fix in next version.

One other thing I just thought of is the "New Candle" trigger some alerts are using, at this time the new candle defaults to the candle of the chart it is on, so if your trading the H1 and switch to the M15 it will now use the M15 New Candle Start. I will need to do some checking to see how I can get this to follow the "Trade Period" setting rather than the chart it is on. This should not be a problem if you stay on the time period chart you are trading. For now you may want to set up a separate chart without the EA if you want to look at different time periods. This will affect the restart on NEW CANDLE and Look for Trade Closure at new candle.

If anyone has the code that ties the New Candle Alert to a specific period please pass it along, otherwise I will do some research and see what I can come up with. At this time everything else ties to the Period you have chosen to use and you can go between different time period charts, but the new candle start slipped throught the cracks, Max missed it.

The next version is going to be a little bit more delayed as a few bugs popped up as seen in the previous post and I have also been working on getting the DTO system working properly. I don't want to post something that I knowingy know has bugs, I want it to be as perfect as I can get it.

One thing I am adding that is very easy to do is I am setting up preset systems so all you have to do is select a proven system and all your settings will be setup for you. All you will have to do is select your Money management settings. This should make it very easy for the new commer to try out the EA, as all he has to do is decide what proven trading system he wants to try and Bingo he is done, he doesn't have to wade through all the filters and try to get them right.
So when you traders come up with real great setting file we can give them a System Number and they will then have a one touch sets all, KISS, I will even give you credit (or Blame) for it, of course you will still be able to design your own as you presently do.

So far some ideas:

SYS1 = DTO_M5_M30 system (Undergoing testing)
SYS2 = TMS_H4 system (Undergoing Testing)
SYS3 = MA9_26_H1 system (Undergoing Testing)
SYS4 = ichimoku Break Out system (Undergoing Testing)
SYS5 = ????????
etc
