xTDI Cross-EA

TDI green/red cross EA for backtesting. Probably works well enough for demo trading too.

  1. For TDI cross entry with fixed SL & TP set:
    Order.Mode=0, SL=30, TP=40.
  2. For TDI cross entry and exit with protective SL & TP set:
    Order.Mode=1, SL=30, TP=40.
  3. For TDI cross entry and exit only set:
    Order.Mode=1, SL=0, TP=0.

NOTE! It requires that Traders_Dynamic_Index.mq4 is installed to work.



xTDI Spyder Cross-EA

TDI green/red cross EA for backtesting and demo trading.

  1. Fixed SL/TP
  2. Move SL to BE
  3. Limit nr of trades/day
  4. Set to buy only, sell only or both
  5. Two step order open for ECN

NOTE! It requires that Traders_Dynamic_Index.mq4 is installed to work.

Would that transform it into a profitable EA? As it stands, the results are not very encouraging, which is not surprising as it is a simple crossover EA.

Xaphod, TDI cross' success is tf-dependant (imho) - and eelfranz' TMS system relies on cross in said regions.

I use it mainly (manually) for H4 and it works quite well.... Trading H4 manually is tedious but rewarding and that addition would make this EA perfect for automatic entry

Your time permitting, and if it is not too much hassle for you, would appreciate if you could add it!

Cheers

There are currently at least 2 other EA's built on the TDI/TMS system that have had a significant amount of time and effort put into them. They should be preferred for live trading. The above EA was written mainly for simple backtesting.

Thanks Xaphod - I am following both threads - I like the simplicity of your code, those have developped into Frankstein EAs...

Guess I will try and do it myself...

Xaphod,

Very nice... Just what I was looking for to use with a new strategy I'm trying. Looks promising.

Couple quick questions. I can't seem to get the stoploss and tp settings to work. Do you suppose thats a ECN criminal problem?

Also how difficult would it be to make it trade just once. (so that you could place it on a chart at night and not have it take multiple trades).

Thanks again,

It does not set SL and TP levels on the server. It monitors the price and closes at market when the price reaches it's target. This was not written for live trading.

Maybe you could add a flag variable and reset it based on the change of the day number and use it to decide if to trade, or something to that effect.

Xaphod,

Thanks again for the great tool. Love the trade direction and # of trades. Would it be very difficult to add a feature where it will stack orders when and if the previous has been moved to BE.

What does stacking orders mean?

Difficult, no. Time consuming, yes.

If I'm trading one direction it would keep placing orders on every TDI cross (in the same direction) as long as the previous has moved to BE.
So on a 1H tf you could get a several entries over the course of the day. (assuming PA caused the TDI to cross/recross several times)

Hope that makes sense.

Xaphod,

Again much respect for the work you've done on this. I appreciate the time you've taken already.

If you can't spare any more time do you mind me throwing the EA up on a new thread to see if anyone would like to tackle this latest change. Might be harder for them to pick up from what you've done but if you don't have the time...

Thanks

No, I do not mind. Go right ahead. Unfortunately, I am quite busy at the moment.

Dear Xaphod,

Thank you very much for developing this EA based on tdi cross.

I have modified slightly for Trend based on stochastic 90,15,15 which almost mimic stochastic 15,5,5 on daily . if blue line of stochastic on H4 is above red line then trend is up and if blue line of stochastic is below red line then trend is down. I am not a coder but have managed to add above successfully. I am exited with the back testing results which is attached herewith. I need your help to add Jumping stop loss in attached ea which can save some pips. Is it possible to set the TP based on the attached support resistance indicator. So that TP can be dynamic and next support or resistance level.

I have attached tester report for your reference. Please download the same and change extension to htm.

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Thanks
Manoj

js-stop added, note that you may compile this ea using the build 509 editor and use the .ex4 file only
edit: I forgot to mention that I have made some parameters (like stoch-settings) external and did some other mods also (search for fxdaytrader in the code)

regarding the support/resistance-stuff:
I think one way to use it would be to search for objects with description/name "Support" or "Resistance" and get the prices
