{quote} I'd be lying if I said that I came up with using the TDI on my own, but in actuality, it was from the Eelfranz, Trading Made Simple thread that I borrowed the idea. Was actually through one of our testers, MightyMatt, said that he started working with TMS manually and had some success. Figured, WTF, might well giver a whirl! As an oscillator it seems a little more refined than trying the multiplicities of Stochastics, and though the stochs bot does good in a sideways market, having something a little more restricted may prove the difference...

Dear Magix, and all Christmas Bot member here,

This is my first message here.

I should thank you first Magix for the EA sent to me, i have just started the latest EA (TDI) on virtual money since this morning, but there has not been any order placed by the EA, i use only 5 pairs as i have seen on you post 51, and everything placed on default setting, i would greatly appreciate for any member here to advice me if there is any setting in input of the EA i should change to make my testing working properly.

Have a good day to you all
Thank you and i will be back to watch if there is any help for me.

Hey Denozi,

Assuming that you have a happy face in the top right corner of your terminal, can I get you to look at the journal tab to see if there are any errors.

The most common issue that some are having is that they are using an account that doesn't allow the default lot size, .01.

If this is the case, you will have to set the start_lot to .1, and try this in the strategy tester.

If there is a different message in the journal tab, let me know, will see if I can get you sorted.

I have isolated the issue. It isn't in the code, it's in the templates. For those of you new to our little gridbots, the logic of these is to close trades on opposite signals. What this means is that if you have trades that are short, part of the profit logic is to close trades on a "Buy", signal. Here in, lies the problem. When working with these: For the Long bots, in options, Long Only has to be selected so that it doesn't take short trades, but allows long trades to be closed on a short signal. For the Short bots, in options, Short Only has...
Magix,

I noticed on the TDI-TOE EA on the this thread trade explorer currently has trades open in both long and short positions on the same pair. Is the EA supposed to close out the current trade when a trade in the opposite direction is triggered?

Thanks,

Doinan

That part looks fine. At the bottom of the terminal, centre screen, there is a Journals Tab.

Click on that tab and see if there are any errors.

The logic of the EA is to look to close with an opposing trigger, but only when the profit is greater than zero.

If profit is below zero, hold and cost average until there is profit.

If you are or want to work on a larger time frame, you can set the tp_in_money to an actual value.

What this will do is force the logic to wait until the first trigger after you have made that set profit.

With this in mind, the trailstp_std is set to lock after 13 pips of profit. So, as soon as market has moved in the direction of the trade by this value or whatever custom value you set, it will lock this so that your trade will not close at a loss.

For shallow markets and quick exits, drop this value to a lower number and as soon as market moves with you, you are already covering gains. This can work to your advantage, but by setting it too tight, will not allow the market to move in a good range.

The only other issue that I can immediately think of, is that the EA might not be seeing the indicator.

Make sure the indicator is in the experts/indicators folder and restart your terminal.

Open up the strategy tester and see if it will take trades in the backtest.

If it doesn't there should be an error message generated.

In regards to theTDI TOE ea settings for stop loss and take profit I changed the parameters to true. The next trade trigger was placed with only a profit target and no stop which is defaulted at 60. Can you tell me if I did anything wrong?

thank you

Just so you understand these settings...

SL will only happen if the price moves the SL value away from the last trade taken.
TP will only happen if the price moves the TP value from the last trade. This will allow the trades to close at a net loss.

See if this value gets hit, and trades close.

I've only worked with these settings once, it has worked, can't imagine it not working now, just have to wait and see.

2 Options.
1. leave it run and find out.
2. shut it down and never have to worry.

I don't worry! I see the results of your EAs (xmas v1, HAT, All in BB...). And they are good, impressive. I worry only about the JPY pairs. EURJPY and GBPJPY have big losses.
