Any chance you can add the BE / Trail / JS code to this latest version?
Thank you.

Hi Seller,
I am new to this ETB ...can you give instructions how to set at up the way you have set at up for your self as per your experience .I downloaded the files for at .. but having problem setting at up ...Perhaps you can help me .... If you dont mind you can write to me on this email [email protected]
Very Much appreciated
Read the PDFs - thoroughly - most of what you need has already been explained by Seller there. I was a bit confused at first too - but reading helped a great deal.

The one on the first page of this forum -

http://www.forexfactory.com/attachme...0&d=1330730670

And this one:

http://www.forexfactory.com/attachme...4&d=1319559150

And of course read every page of both this and the TMS (Trading Made Simple EA) forum

Seller9,
What does the Buyselloffset do? Also what are the two rules?
Offline Maybe?

I was wondering the same thing.

The only filter, is this - RAVI FX filter.

Candle colour change is very basic entry and needs good filters - ETB has got that -> and more and more.

The same with exits - ETB has the very wide range to choose from - thats why I like it so much.

Hi Seller,

Is there any chance to add this feature to ETB? It would create new opportunities for the EA,

thanks a lot

Not yet, Verdana. I have tried different settings during backtests of the Buyselloffset and didn't see any difference, but during the optimization of Eur/Jpy it gave a result using 7 instead of 5. So I have been using 7 this week during testing. As far as the two rules in V4 PVS they also don't seem to make a difference when testing. I have had better results with V1 PVS than V4 PVS, V1 seems to take more trades during testing. I am using V4 on Eur/Usd with the take profit of R1/S1 to see how it does. The one problem I keep coming across during testing is the occasional major trend shift that it always seems to catch the Bottom or Top of and go into major Drawdown. I have been trying to run different indicators during testing to see if I can find something that will help filter this problem.

I trade manually full time - and am now forward testing all of them here - Seller9's Ichi, Pivot and Expert tool Box in primarily the Synergy TDI / Trading Made Simple approach without lots of the additions. Very time consuming and tough after a full day of screen-staring for real. And I am spreading myself too thin - not doing a good job on any because I am doing all.

Lots of difficult behaviors appear in the EAs that appear to fly in the face of proven manual approaches - e.g., entering with too little ATR to justify predictable action, entering on the wrong side of the trend, etc. (But I could just be getting it all wrong.)

But I believe there is hope and potential as Seller9 continues to make enhancements and acts on our feedback.

And as you point out, getting some additional info on rule definition and the same / standardized tools to manage the trade and exit for each EA would be great - Break even / capital protection, trail, jumping and fixed SL and TP.

I am going to start testing the new ichimoku with the changes suggested to the Stop Loss settings tonight....

Lets see if we can't get this "Beast" to make some money.

Hi Seller and everyone.

I'm forward testing the ETB based on the Trade Made Simple idea, as simple as possible, and I'm having good results.

I'm testing 3 brokers (Alpari, MB Trading andFX PRIMUS) with diferent settings but I'm having a problem in all of them.

Sometimes, and I don't know why, the robot opens several positions at once. When it should only open one.
Sometimes the robot opens a position and emediatly closes on a hidden stop loss, and the opens again....Has happen to open and close 10 positions in a row.

I've tried different setting on the set file but with no success. Don't know if any of you had this experience or have any idea what might be.

Thanks

I have been experimenting with the EA for a couple of weeks now.

It never happened before until today. And today, it occurred several times, on a few currencies, but not all - even though I have exactly the same template & settings for every currency with which I am experimenting.

Interesting. Hopefully we'll get an explanation and guidance.

I am short on time right now so maybe you can play around with this version and see what needs to be added or changed, I haven't had time to do any testing with it.

Really well done. It looks even more advanced then expected. Some minimal clarifications:

  1. TMA slope means that under a specified slope value the sma intersection is neglected by ea?
  2. cleancandlebuffer is about the amount of pips of the first closed candle outside kumo considered by ea?

Anyway I'm going to try it immediately.
Thank you very much: your energy seems endless!

Hi all,

I'm getting these errors from ETB, and looking back over the thread, I can see it was suggested that it was to do with 'Usenews':

Experts_Tool_Box_V1.09: invalid handle -1 in FileClose
Experts_Tool_Box_V1.09: invalid handle -1 in FileIsEnding

I get the error if its set to true or false - am I missing something else?

TMA slope is experimental and does not do very well at this time, so don't use it.

CleanCandleBuffer is the number of pips the Bid of the present candle after the clean candle has to be above/below the close of the clean candle. When set to zero the trade will trigger at the open of the candle after the clean candle. If set to say 3 pips, the Bid has to be 3 pips above the clean candle close(for Long trade) or 3 pips below(short trade). This gives you a little buffer incase the PA reverses right at the open of the candle after the clean candle.

I am not happy with the clean candle logic as it waits for a clean candle anytime after the cloud break out and this can get you in too late. I am trying different logic durring the next London session to see if it stops this.

These are the 2 EAs I am presently watching very closely and doing testing on. When I feel they are ready for a live account they will be posted, but I want them to be close to being right before then, no use posting something only half way there, when 3/4ths there they will be posted along with results and settings. As you can see below they need a little work yet.

Hi Seller9,

about clean candle, with such a short ichi it is absolutely unproductive. EA must open at the very starting point of any price movement.

Therefore the first essential mod is an hidden s/l immediately set at -6/-4 when trade opens. (this one will be the BEJS when position becomes profitable)

About time filter we can try two different paths:

  1. The first one is to set a different ichi synchronized with the current sma filter. I mean that perhaps if we set a longer ichi we can find the current sma3/13 correct.
  2. The second one is exactly the opposite: we can use a different sma (like sma2/sma13 or realtime/sma2) maintaining the current ichi 3/3/13.


About the second option I found sma2/13 and realtime/sma2 very profitable during the last two months. But the fundamental part of this strategy is reducing the possible losses to minimal values. And this could be done only with a settable hidden s/l at -4/-6.

Here are my results so far with forward testing the PVS EA V1. -125 pips on 4 open positions right now. The one loss is me trying to figure out a way to open more than one position at a time.http://dl.dropbox.com/u/49530125/pvsea.jpg

Thanks Seller,

This didn't help, but I did go back into the EA settings and strip them all back to false before re-building a line at a time.

Still not sure exactly what it was, but it doesn't do it anymore!

Loving the flexibility of the ETB, but I have to agree with earlier posts about it becoming complicated too...

Nonetheless - good work and thank you for sharing!

Just 2 trades last night with one still open, both were winners.
I have attached this version which has a few changes so you can try it if you like. I won't post it to the first page until its ready for publication.

Changes:

1: Removed one of the rules I was testing for entries, will add more rules for entry after they give good entries.
2: If you leave TP = 0 it will use the R1 or S1 for TP, depending on the type of trade.
3: If you leave SL = 0 it will use the R1 or S1 for SL, depending on the type of trade.
4: Buyer or Seller is automatic depending on yesterday's Close and today's Open, so leave these both at true to start off and they will change as dictated by these 2 values.

I am using H1 candles for this rule, some will say this is too slow, but lets test it first and see if we need to speed it up.
For these trades I used TP = 0 and SL = 0.
This rule only trades between R1 and S1.

The third trade from last night with the Pivots EA just closed, so 3 trades and 3 winners.

They all hit the S1 profit target.
