I have been testing ETB 1.05 with seller9 H4 set file (attached) in a live account on 12 Symbols. The results are as follows:

No. of Winners: 27 (+679 Pips)
No. of Looser: 22 (-755 Pips)
Total No. of Trades: 49 (-76 Pips)

The following tables show the results per trade and per symbol

I will continue the forward live testing and I need to further analyze the results. I am thinking of eliminating the symbols that are continuously loosing.

Seller9,

Is there any benefit of using version 1.08 if I am using your set file?

i try to have not more than 8-10 pairs, also i try to use pairs that have approx 90 pips daily ATR but rather see it over 100 pips ATR based on 10 days and over.

if i wer'e to eliminate some pairs on you're list above, i would do this below

REMOVE (they are pretty slow for the past few months)
USD/JPY
USD/CHF
EUR/CHF
EUR/GBP

REPLACE
NZD/USD with AUD/USD

ADD
EUR/CAD ?

chose to keep 1 of these 2 either CHF/JPY or GBP/CHF or remove both and add AUD/JPY

those are my my suggestions

anyone can help me test my set file why open 24 hour never do any trade?
please***
well you have these options set to true, so it's creating a conflict in the EA's logic, thats the reason why you won't get any trades put them both to false or chose 1 only not both of them.

The EA is the REAL thing .. im looking at it right now

Joking aside what works and suits you in Trading any Markets is the way to go, every trader is different.

me to im not that big of a "EA" fan but some are special like this one has a coder that really puts effort in creating his EA's and i fully support his work.

Can someone tell me the correct settings for a 2 moving average cross for trades , say a cross of 5EMA and 25SMA.

MAShortPeriod , would be 5
MaShortType, I do not know which code = EMA
MaLongPeriod , would be 25
MaLongType, again I do not know which code = SMA

Thank You

I have read through the entire original thread as well as this one and what you have created here, seller9 et.al., is nothing short of amazing.
You have given this EA so many features that is challenging to decide what to use and what not!
I have started using the bot today and am exited to see how it will perform.
I have read the pdf for etb 1.07 but am struggling to understand the sl feature - which settings must I use to use the last swing low as my sl?

Seller9, is Steve's CBI module incorporated in thus ea? If not, why not?

on the top of the EA when you open it the info for the Moving Averages are there, also basically it's with all MA indicators those basic settings are usually the ones to follow.

SMA=0, EMA=1, SMMA=2, LWMA=3

The following will use the last fractal as the stop loss. You must leave a number in the SLmultiplier also in case the last fractal is not correct.

The fractalOffset can be used if you want to add a little buffer to the last fractal.

SLmultiplier = 1.0; (Just in case the last fractal is in the wrong place this will be used.)

UseLastFractalSL = true; (Low fractal for Long and High fractal for a short)

FracOffset = 0; (If you want to add a few pip buffer to the last fractal put it here.)

StopLoss = 0; (Be sure to leave this at zero because it will over ride your other settings if something is left in it other than zero.)

Sorry I did'nt get back to you sooner hope this helps.

Looked over your set file and looks Ok accept for one thing I see wrong is with the TDI settings.

UseTdiCross=1
TdiCrossCandlesBack=0 (This can not be 0 unless "TdiCrossCandleZero=true", than it can be)
TdiCrossCandleZero=0

Either use this: (Not the best as you could get a lot of false triggers)
UseTdiCross=1
TdiCrossCandlesBack=0
TdiCrossCandleZero=true

Or this (Best)
UseTdiCross=1
TdiCrossCandlesBack=1 (Can use 1 to 5)
TdiCrossCandleZero=false

The trade window is OK, the way you have it set it will wait for 10 minutes before it starts to look for a trade at the open of a new candle. You need "UseCandle2TradeWindow = true" for the "ReverseCandle2TradeWindow" to work, like you have it set.

TW=- - - - - - - - - - - Trade Window - - - - - - - - - - - (This is OK)
UseCandle2TradeWindow=1
ReverseCandle2TradeWindow=1
Candle2TradeWindowMinutes=10.00000000


I also see you are trying the DTO settings, I haven't tried them in this combination with the others so will be interesting to see how they work out, please keep us posted as to your results.

Good Luck

Thanx Seller9 - is FractalCandlePeriod used to determine the last fractal for the stoploss?

Turn off the trade window. You are running the EA on a M5 chart and have the window set for 10 minutes and the candle is only 5 minutes so it will never take a trade. Just set the trade window to false, no point in using it on that short a time frame, it was to be used when using the H4 chart.

Thanx Seller9 - is FractalCandlePeriod used to determine the last fractal for the stoploss?
Yes

This is the time period of the chart where the fractals are, normally you set it to the same period as the Tradeperiod is set to unless you want to use fractals from a different chart period than what you are trading.

Something else I forgot, I have StopLoss5ma set to 20 - will this override UseLastFractalSL or will StopLoss5ma be used if there is no last fractal?
