Hi buzznack, thank you very much for your feedback!

I'm happy the EA seems to be profitable so far as you and Dewey showed us even before we did any tweaking and bug-fixing.

Concerning the bug: please send your SET-file to me by pm. I will have a look into it and we can discuss it.
The session time settings should be set depending on your broker time to begin = 7 hours before London Open and end to London Open.

Hi Dewey and Chris. Just a thought here, is it possible to give us an explanation of what each line in the properties list of your EA does. There are a lot of items in there that can be adjusted i.e stop loss method, trailing enabled etc. For me personally it would be easier if i knew what each of them did and how it would affect the trading if i changed them. I have changed some but i cannot see the difference it may have made.
Sorry if this seems like very basic stuff but I and possibly many more traders out there don't know how to adjust these things.
Chris i know you asked for my set file by pm but i cannot see away of attaching a file in the pm box. Its easy in this section but how do i do it in a pm box....anybody?
Off to work now will catch up tonight.
Many thanks
Andy

buzznack, Dewey and Chris,

Why use PM in this forum for SET file if we want to share results and learn from each other?
PM's are, in my opinion, for really private and personal messaging.

Hi G.,

I asked buzznack to send me his SET-file to see if there is a potential bug. I didn't want to clutter the thread with something,
that might be of no interest for most readers here. I have sent him my email address.

I also see some need of a PDF-manual so more people can help to test and improve the EA, but my mother tongue is not English
and I haven't seen any reaction from Dewey. Maybe I can find here a volunteer for writing a manual for the EA (over Skype).

Thanks,
Chris

Hello,

Could you suggest optimum settings for using TVI-V2 in daily tf.

Thank you

Hello and Season's greetings!

Stumbled upon here and been trying to read thru everything but internet issues is making the process very tedious for me. What I've gained thus far from what reading I've managed is that the "Killing Zone" is good indicator of when NOT to trade which is a gem! As to when TO trade I'm still trying to figure out. Not going to be able to contribute much to this thread since the only code I know is proably Morse. That being said I'm hear to shamelessly ask instead of give.
Can someone who has been using and following this thread/method help orientate me that we are currently at Gadi_Currencies v2.8, Gadi_Obv v2.2, Gadi_Normalizevolumev 2.2, Gadi_TickVolume v2.2?

Thanks for the welcome gg53 and Jackub. Harbouring a seething hatred for my isp now, take forever to load a page. Manage to get Obv 2.2, volume 2.2 AND currencies 2.8 into the platform, assuming no change in settings required except setting the TF field in Obv to match current chart TF this is what I'm looking at.

Base on my limited reading (sorry) and understanding thus far there is no trade to be taken due to "poor volume" and no significant strength indication. The kill zone has also "expired". Am i correct?

Sorry for the question but this is to help me gain the confidence that I'm on the right track. My deepest thanks.


*I understand there is a lot more so I adopted to learn this layer by layer hence the noob questions but a lil confirmation here and there helps me ensure I've not gotten concepts confused or deviated

cfdtaleong, don't forget the Gadi_TickVolume indicator. I cannot see this on your posted chart

Thanks. Here is a picture of my 15m template and the thought process I intend to employ just for EUR/USD

1)Wait for Obv to mark out the "kill zone" twiddle thumbs till this happens. (I'm assuming the Obv lines disappears when a zone is closed)
2)Focus on the Obv and wait for a breakout, twiddle thumbs again till this happens
3a)On break to upside out check tick volume indicator,if tick bar direction is up and above 0 that is 1st confirmation else ignore trade.
3b)On break to downside out check tick volume indicator,if tick bar direction is down and below 0 that is 1st confirmation else ignore trade.
4)Check volume indicator, if less than or equal "Below Avg" ignore trade else,
4a)On Obv break to to upside and volume bar is up that is 2nd confirmation else ignore trade.
4a)On Obv break to to downside and volume bar is down that is 2nd confirmation else ignore trade.
5)Check currency indicator for crossover corresponding to Obv breakout direction. If in sync, that is 3rd confirmation and trade is high probility

Hope I got the concept right and this is helpful somehow to other new people to the thread. I'm just not too sure if this approach is too conservative and will result in late entries as I've yet to see how things play out in real time. Will be observing the "play" and see how it goes.

Hi gg53 ,
just like to thank you and everyone else that has contributed to this great trading method,
I have read the whole thread and will read through again so it sinks into this old brain of mine,
May I ask is it possible to have a gadi obv that automatically draws the channel for a kill zone as the killzones appear?
also is their much difference with the gad currencies indi and the css used on another system .
Hope this makes sense .
Regards Peter

orid,

Gadi_OBV doesn't "decide" by itself where are the "Killing Zones" on your chart.
There are some guidelines in this forum that let you manually or visually define those areas.
Gadi_OBV marks, by default, the Asian session as possible area of consolidation - but it's up to you to decide if this is really the case.

Gadi_Currencies is my way of calculating interaction between currencies, their direction and their relative strength.
I didn't study the differences between Gadi_Currencies and other indicators.

Requested to mods for my earlier posts to be "cleaned up" as I do not think them very helpful and may confuse other new readers. I will still ask questions but only if I absolutely cannot find the answer here or really do not understand. My apologies and thanks for the KZ concept. Just the KZ alone to keep me out of trouble will improve my trading greatly.
