This setup is similar to the 5/10 ema cross used in some other trades accept I am using the 9 and 26 LWMA cross with lock along with the break last fractal and last fractal above or below TMA True. I was only running it a couple days so far but did get 2 hits, both were closed by BEJS stop loss for profit. First screen is when the trade was opened for each trade and the second screen shows the completed trade.

At times when the screen shot is taken the screen has not been updated and may not show the correct colors of the alerts, as in the first screen shot below.

Also I did't have the TMA True indicator on the first screen shots of each but added it to the other two so you can see where the Fractals were in relation to the TMA True when the trade was taken.

Take a look at this trade the EA has open at the present time and see if it meets your entry rules. The yellow line on the M5 and M30 charts are the EAs entry and confirmation points. This is the only one I have at this time as I have been doing a lot of code changes. I haven't set any TP or SL yet as I am just trying to see if the entry is OK. Don't pay any attention to the other green lines as they are just for testing.
Also using ATR(8) > 4.0 as an entry rule also.
No spread rule at this time.

Anything that should be changed??????

On this last screen shot I show where both alerts would have been on the M5 chart, the first one is the M30 alert and the second one is the M5 alert. You can see the M5 alert falls within the M30 alert window as the M30 alert would have been active for several more M5 candles.

I think the rules are.


#1 Alerts are only generated on the 5 minute chart

#2 If this alert agrees with DTOscon 30 minute chart, go forward

#3 If ATR(8) 1S =>4 GO FORWARD, IF <4 RETURN TO WAITING FOR ALERT.

#4 iS SPREAD INLINE FOR THAT PAIR, IF YES , GO FORWARD

#5 placing stop order at last fractal or where candles have formed a short term S/R area

#6 if trade doesn't trigger go back to waiting for alert.

Yes, the first three are in place, just wondering if you think the EA entered correctly in that trade or does the entry algorythm I am using need to be tweaked? Try not to look at the candles past the M5 entry.

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
seller9, that made me smile

"but the new candle start slipped throught the cracks, Max missed it."

ya i did miss it, but i was wondering on some of my setups why the Entries we're Late, but did'nt pay attention, i was a bit busy this week to, so it distracted me


Your System List would be more like this instead ..IMO

SYS1 = TMS_H1 system (Undergoing Testing) **Xman - phx62**
SYS2 = TMS_H4 system (Undergoing Testing) **BigE**
SYS3 = TMS_Daily system (Undergoing Testing) **Britpip7**
SYS4 = MA9_26_H1 system (Undergoing Testing) **seller9**
SYS5 = ichimoku Break Out system (Undergoing Testing) **unimak**
SYS6 = DTO_M5_M30 system (Undergoing testing) **Fwoodler**
SYS7 = MA 5/10 system (Undergoing Testing)**seller9**
SYS8 = MA 5/7 shift-1 (CCI-Fractals) H1 + H4 system (Undergoing Testing) **max**
SYS9 = Range/Ichimoku/THV (Undergoing Testing) **max but similar to mihailo's strat**
SYS10 = Start/End Time Breakout Range (Soon to be Tested when available in the next version) **max**


Good Job all, let's keep this up, we will succeed

Hi Seller9

Can you check the TDI Slope please. Takes trade way after slope is above 4.0 In the case of GBPJPY slope was 5.18 and USDJPY it was 7.5 Thanks for a great job.

The TDI slope is updated on every tic, it may seem late because you are waiting for a confirmed TDI cross which happens after the candle closes, so the slope may be greater than what you have set for a trigger.

Thanks, but is there a setting where it does not wait for a candle close, for only when one is present to manage the trade.

Hi Seller,

I know you're a busy man and I would really appreciate if you will have a look at this:

Is there a chance to fix the multiplying trades on one candle - as I mentioned in post #522 - it happens today again but with a specific extent .... I was sitting at work and checking at my mobile how my demo account disappears...

I would be very very gratefull,

There is no sense to continue the forward tests if such a things happend.

thanks

Need to see the set file and also did you leave the chart on the same time period as the EA was set to look at? There is a problem with the candle clock as it follows the the chart you are looking at, so if you are trading the H1 and move down to look at the M5, the new candle now is the M5 candle. This is something that should be fixed in the next version.

Has anyone else run across this and if so how can I reproduce it?

Here is a shot of muliple trades, but as you can see they were all made on new candles.

I need your setup so I can try and reproduce what you are getting.

Hi Tex,

Don't know really cause the multyplying trades were spoiling the results, its the beginning of testing, I wan't to test them for a 6-8 weeks.

One of them (the one with macross) was doing very very good for the first week - the second was rather quiet, need more testing and optimalization.

hi seller9

> so would it be possible to add an extra option to the setting below that's already available in the EA ?

- - - Break of last candle High or Low - - -

UseBrkLastCandleHighLow
BreakPips

UseBrkLastCandleClose (add this option so we can chose either the break of a candle H/L or only the "C" ) i would rather use this since we can set a candle Breakout criteria and it would be more beneficial, IMO

OR

> i know we already have Higher/Lower Close option in the EA but it looks for a minimum of 2 candles behind, instead of having the 2 candles min we could have 1 candle, i tried and the EA accepted the "1" candle input but displays 2 ? will see next week.

- also only a minor TITLE error in the HLO part - Higher/Lower Opens - (suppose to be Higher/Lower Closes)


keep up the good work also with the ichmoku part thats beeing developped


thanks

I am going to be posting the next version of the etb this weekend and need some input on the M30 confirming signal for the DTOSC. I need to know how wide a window you want for this alert. The M5 trigger will only be good for the length of the candle, 5 minutes (M5) after the cross, but the M30 signal can be wider than just the 30 minutes of the M30 candle if you want. See the images below and let me know how you want it set. The two charts do not depict a trade, just wanting to see how wide you want this confirming window to be.

Do you want the M30 confirming signal to be available for more than 1 M30 candle?
