Hi emmanuel, did you tested this EA in Strategy tester? Can you share your current parameter values? {quote}

No, these are forward testing live using demo account with GMT0 server data.

You need to read the pdf and learn to use the various TDI setting and Candle pattern. The other stuff you can disable by set to 'false'. Read each parameter definition carefully, sometimes set to false means different thing.

True or False setting can be misleading and that depends on how the question is phrased in English.

If someone ask you, did you not love your ex-wife? True of False? smell a rat.

To all TMS traders: You weekend exercise if to study the psf manual and prepare you EA with the paramters and svae them as set files for forward testing starting next week using a new demo account of US$50,000. Try to grow that by 10% every 20 trading daysas the initial target. Post your trades here next week and also post your set files. I put EA on these pairs - Majors: AUDUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDCHF, USDCAD, NZDUSD, AUDJPYU, EURJPY, GBPJPY, Euro Crosses: EURAUD, EURNZD, EURCAD, EURGBP, GBP crosses: GBPAUD, GBPNZD, GBPCAD.
Emm, where are the files for this? Want to do this, but I have had problems loading anything on my platform with the exception of templates.

Thanks, Scott

Just went thru the loading tutorials and all seems correct but when I reopen he platform/Expert Advisors the file is not there. Is there something else I need to do with build 600?

Edit: Got it loaded, however, the symbol beside the name is "greyed out" instead of being blue and gold like others already loaded before. Does this mean it is not working? There is a "smiley face".
Tks, Scott

Hi Scott,

I don't quite get what you mean.

Can you make a chart and post with your question. Thanks.

Hi,

I am using broker with GMT0 server time ... IBFX.

You can try FXDD to be the same as Big E, I think the server time is GMT+3. Please check this.

You should decide on the TDI and Candles conditions as explain in the pdf manual. Then set up according to what you want to trade. Save the set file for future. Ignore the non-TMS indicators - ADX, CCI, TMA, etc.

If you want to trade Big E style as in TMS post#1, set the trading times correctly with reference to you PC clock and to match the London H4 candles.

Any problem, post and ask.

regards,

EMMANUEL

hostwey:

That's good. Once up and running, you will need to spend a lot of time to learn how this EA works and then we need to 'tame' it and get full control of it.

Take care now.

AUDJPY week16 H4 trade:

This trade was managed using TMS_V19 Trade Management features. However, due to the price pullback seen on my H4 chart, I manually closed my trade.

Please note that I use the on-screen and email ALert functions and also the Trade Management functions only. This EA auto trading can be disabled so that we can trade manually and let the EA manage the trades only. I set different conditions in the EA for trade management and sometimes do manual overide.
Not all trades uses the same set file.

Not managed to trigger a trade yet. Most of the time market showing as consolidated. Will post charts of trade once we start rolling.

Currently have H1/H4 (Static) and H1/H4 Slope 4.0(0.00) set.

Whoops hadn't actually installed EA correctly. Should see something start to happen soon

This is exactly how I want to do it...enter the trade manually (I believe that if you don't enter right, you will never exit right) but let the EA manage the trade while I need to sleep.

Is it possible to for this EA close a trade at a certain time like Big Eric was doing?

Cheers,

Gavin

P.S. Seeing as we are on the same page with this, do you have a .set file for the H1 and H4 charts that you could share with me? I would really appreciate that!

{quote} What is your configuration for JumpingStop and JumpingBE? Thanks in advance...

Hi ymatz,

Jumping stops are different for different currency pairs based on that currency pair volatility of the timeframe you trade.
When trading H4, I look at the H4 ATR(10). ... most recent 10 period. Some traders look at ATR(5).
Also we need to look at the Average Price Bar APB or HA.
When we see flat end APB, we can trail behind the APB, quite safely and let the trend run as long as we do not see a change in APB colour.
Both these method work best together.

There is also news factor to consider like yesterday. Market consoldiation before major news release, so I am cautious and close my EU trade, I did not want to give back too much of my floating profit back to the market. We can always re-entert after the news.

Trade Safe.

EMMANUEL

Excellent explanation. I aprecciated it.
How is your demo-test of the Expert Advisor?.
I'm trying my own, with better than manual trading for me.. (weird, I thought), but this is it...
So, by my so-tight BreakEven I let pass most of the trend... Trying at H4 and M15... Not bad, not good at moment...
