{quote} Hi friends, One trade per candle update as requested by LFN. {file}
Has anyone had luck with getting the "one trade per candle" functioning? I've tried this with multiple timeframes since yesterday and have yet to get even one trade. When I set "one trade per candle" to false, it will almost immediately start opening trades.

What is the post number of the dash that you are using?

{quote} Hi, No you do not need to use in one chart. for the strength indi's you need the Strengthcalculations_bundle.ex4 to put in one chart, only once. It does not matter which chart. If done you will see the text below on that chart {image} The news indi must be in the include directory "...\Indicators\include\", but you will not see on a chart The breakout indi is independent from the strength indi's, 100% stand alone You can put on any chart as many times as you want. You only must take care that the "masterPreamble" has everytime a unique string,...
Hi Emonts,

I am trying to setup your panels and have some problems. It appears the StrengthCalculations bundle is not working and I suspect it is due to my brokers suffix. Can you post it so I can fix the problem.

I seemed to missed the fractal display panel posting. Can you provide a reference where to find it? (Found it in a subsequent post)

Thanks for the assistance

Here are the two fractal indicators that have been modified to accept brokers with suffixes

I will check all.

I tried the dash from post 548. I cannot get "use One Trade Per Timeframe" to work at all with my settings.

The only TRIGGER MANAGEMENT settings that I have set to TRUE are from "Use RSI Filtering" down to "MA Period (BIG)".

I had "Use One Trade Per Timeframe" set to TRUE for two days and did not open even one trade. I just changed it to FALSE and the dash immediately opened two (now 3) trades.

Prior to trying this latest dash, I had tried other combinations of timeframes using the dash in post 536 for the one trade setting with no luck.

Is there something that I could be missing? I turned autotrading off and on, I "Reset EA".

I am running MT4 4.0 build 840. I'd prefer not to upgrade unless there is a known incompatibility since I also use some older custom indicators.

Thanks.

Result of PMV5c auto trade on demo account this week. There were not many trades opened but result is quite consistent. My time zone is GMT+7. I let EA manages TP but SL I managed it manually.

Nice results :-)
I thought that you need to set the yellow marked setting below to true for using the GAP. Obviously not, or?

trigger_use_buysellratio=false
trigger_buy_buysellratio=2.5
trigger_sell_buysellratio=-2.5
trigger_use_gap=true
GAP_TimeFrame=30
trigger_gap_buy=0.6
trigger_gap_sell=-0.6

Nope, I did not set that BSR trigger to true. The trade result was from Gap trigger only. Previous week I used another setting which was also including BSR but did not give good result (per my composition). It is unfortunate that I did not save my previous set files.

I guess Jibala will be heading by and tell you that trigger GAP 0.6 is to small
Lets here more of your results next week, have a nice weekend all.

I guess your question about too narrow gap (0.6) is answered here as well. It could not give accurate entry at adequate momentum when use it alone at only 0.6 and especially without RS, BSR and BidRatio. Please see attachment, my trade result last Friday (Nov13) hit several stop lost at ADR 40. If Gap is much wider to 1.5 -> 3.0 as suggested by Marialuza or Jibala they might be better. By the way, I found that setting both "Scalp M1&M5 Candle Direction" and "Swing M15-Mn Candle Direction" to true will help trigger trade only for pairs with very strong trend. I then decided to remove SL and manage bad trades manually since Monday. It is much easier to recovery these bad trades because they were just swinging out for a few moment from the main trend.

Another observation for this setting is that, the EA is not sensitive at all to open trade that might be triggered falsely by large candle during news breakout. I am not sure the news filter module has already been added in this version. Since I don't see in the EA setting so I guess it haven't yet existed in PMV5c.

Thanks all the developers for your great work.

Have a good weekend to all.

I believe that if gap is set to 0.6+/- it will only open if gap is exactly 0.6 and not more and not less. If big news event the gap is ? +/-3 may be that is why there is no trades being open. Also the condition of scalp and swing candle direction I think is the biggest factor that is filtering trades from opening. I was thinking of removing ALL filter and just set scalp and swing candle and see the trades being opened, take a snapshot and look at the gap/bsr etc to consider what was the market conditions 'seen' by the dashboard at the time trade was opened. From my testing the more filters added, the 'later' the trade is opened. ie. the trade only opens once the move is almost finished. The set file you provided 0.6 with scalp and swing true is giving good results for scalp' trades but it still does not 'catch' the movement early on. thank you. hope you don't mind mhy sharing.

Hi friends, You can test GAP + MADdash manual. NO AUTO YET. The GAP should help identify reversal and continuation of trend. {file}
Hi. Any progress with the auto version? :-)

Hello friends,
Here is the updated version of V5i. You can now trade auto.
- I have included the CSM fully.

Before
Enter Buy trade when Base Arrow =UP and Quote Arrow =Down
Enter Sell trade when Base Arrow =Down and Quote Arrow =UP


Update
Enter Buy trade when Base Strength >trigger Strength Strong && Quote Strength < trigger Strength Weak
Enter Sell trade when Base Strength < trigger Strength Weak && Quote Strength >trigger Strength Strong

With this filter you may have less trade now because you are only trading Strong vrs Weak currency.
This should help to reduce bad trades and over trading.


Other features
- Snap shot on auto and manual
- One trade Per candle
- Selectable MA filters
- 2 Timeframe Currency Strength filter


Hope this brings more pips to you.

dtlase.

brothers is there a way to have alerted when the currency flips postions


for example in the pic when gdp currently in position one were to drop to position 2 and then have a down arrow..... that would be an alert

OR


nzd shwoing in postion 8 moves up to postion 7 then shows an up arrow..... boom we get an autotrade or alert

espcially after being above a 95% ratio as per marialuzas reversal rules

POSITION CHANGE = important

PS i'm not sure if that's what is being done

please advise.
