Hi Dave

Its hard to belive what you have made, thank you !!!

My question is probably is possible but if you would consider it to add to your program a new attribute to the oscilators like stockhastic, macd, rsi, cci and simillar that I have forgot a "direction". Some of strategies that I am using and probably others too are compering direction of the oscilator on diffrent time frames. If direction is the same on example 60 min and 2h and 4h or 8h then we look for trades in that direction.

Would be great to get some answare what do you Think about that

And again thank you this is great work!!!

Best regards
Hajdi

Enclosed.

Just remember that the parameters need to be multiplied by 100 to handle the 2 decimal point requirement as detailed in the PDF manual.
(Won't be necessary with the pending new release of Version 2)

Exits are under Stop Loss and Take Profit control rather than trade reversal. I have enclosed a copy of my recent post outlining my reasons for this.

QUOTE:
My own personal opinion is to discourage continuous trading because it really falls outside the realm of automatic trading because you leave yourself wide open to external events causing large and sudden fluctuations which will only be acted upon at bar close, whereas a Stop Loss affords you protection at all times including during bar formation.

Hi Dave and comunity


I am sorry to have to admit that seems I am a slow learner. Well it might have to do with that English is not my native language, I am just trying to find some excuse
Anyway to understand funktionality I have tried following: Just take RSI and every time it crosses ower 30 line in direction upp by and traile pips 30 break even.
So the only result I am getting is one by in the begining of the 3 month testing. And that can not be right. I have tried with buy entry and are getting only one buy signal, and have tried with buy exit but there is no signal at all.
I know that this is trivial but please need help in hope that if I understand this rest will be a Little bit easy.
MAybe someone else beside Dave to answare as I wouldnt to bother him with this stuff.

Buy test file how I did manage it to work but its not working how it should and I dont know how to fix it. It buys on every time rsi14 touch 30 line and more intresting in this case is why stop loss does not activate. It does not react on stop loss and take profit as I have tried in Another test 20.


It should simple be when rsi 14 is reising and cross 30 from below going upp to buy every time and hitt stoploss of 30, otherwise is trailing stop.

Realy need help with this.

Best regards
Hajdi

Hi

Into A.T pack you have a set file name: RSI with SL and TP...Take this one...The 30-70 cross already done and just change TP-SL from 50 to 30...That will work...
There is no shortcut you have to test a lot of settings in order to get used of it...Driving AT takes time and tenacity...
Dave gave us a roadster...You have to improve your driving skills as much as possible in order to manage it...
Hope this helps

Hi Dave

Even when I am going with your file from post 56 here or any other i have tested more then 70 set fils. I am getting mostly two trades.
It has some thing to do with stoploss and target not wanting to work att all on set files that I try.
I dont get what the problem is.

Just downloaded your preset...1) Your Buy entry is cross below 30 instead of cross above...You have 2 cross below as conditions...one mistake there...

Also l suggest you test lower TF and lower RSI to see if your conditions trigger trades according to your setup...

After correction buy entry l did test your preset on 5M chart RSI (2) and it works as you can see your TP -SL are there...and it took a buy when RSI cross above 30

You have to be really attentive when entering settings...
Hope this helps

Hello Hajdi
I have just read all your posts and I understand your frustration. Just to get matters into order, and I continually stress this factor over and over, and am capitalizing for this reason.

A MINIMUM REQUIREMENT TO PROVIDE EFFECTIVE, TIMELY SUPPORT IS A COPY OF YOUR SET FILE, NOTIFICATION OF PAIR(S) AND TIMEFRAME(S) CONCERNED, BACK TESTING DATE RANGE AND A COPY OF ANY JOURNAL ERRORS IF APPLICABLE.

This EA is not for uneducated traders and does require a great deal of homework on your behalf. I will help you if you provide explicit details. I make no guarantees whatsoever as to the suitability of Agility Trader for you own particular requirements. This is and will always be a FREE product. The companion program is optional and is not required to run the Expert Advisor.

We have all been through frustration with software and I have addressed all issues raised on this forum and in PM's and I have only ever told one person to go and annoy somebody else and that was only when I had exhausted all avenues to provide assistance and he started to get nasty. You know the result there, even if you have only read this page of the thread.

To all posters with any problems, please read the whole thread. I have had to do the same myself, even reading threads 10 times longer than this and taking notes along the way. I had a query on back testing with Heiken Ashi candles on off line 3 minute charts and it took me almost a full day of reading to provide a solution.

Back to your case, the simple and real answer is that you will get a solution but your homework is at this stage very much lacking. Just As Ben, the Gentleman who provided support to you, on the subject of frustration, soldiered on and educated himself along the way and now provides meaningful support on my behalf, put you head down and slowly step through the included examples. Then branch out one step at a time. Read as much as you can, and Google "backtesting and optimization with MT4"

"Greater than" and "less than" as compared to "crosses above" or "crosses below" are completely different scenarios. Try the included RSI set files. In reference to the set files working on the demo account but not on the live account, 2 questions, firstly do you have enough history on your live account, secondly, do you have your options correctly set such as the expert advisors tab, chart settings tab.

If you find yourself scratching your head on these suggestions, you need to pause and starting raising your level of knowledge before you tackle Agility Trader. I am here to help but you must also help yourself.

Regards
Dave

I have now tested your set file from Post #730 on both a live account and a demo account using tick data and both accounts report normal trading results.

For your interest, I have posted the live trading results so I would suggest that you are lacking historical data or your settings under Tools, Options are incorrect. Always check the Journal Tab in Terminal for any reported errors.

Again thank you very much for this great software. I am not so unexpiriance as I have been trading last 7seven years with diferent platforms and different EAs. But as I am recently stumble over your great work I was thinking that maybe it was my foult configuring set files. So I have been testing different combinations as from the begining it was not working. But as I already told you I realy Think it is great work and it is hard to make mistake as Everything is prity straigt forward and self explanatory.
You have probably test a lot more then I but here is my latest test file 81. Only buy and just testing stoploss as that is where problem lies in the real account. Anyway now I have donloaded demo account on the same platform that means that all settings are exactly the same on both accounts and as much as I am shifting btween those it is problem on the live account.
And problem is on all valuta pairs and all timeframes as I have tested like 40 % of those and all time frames on EU, UJ. And problem is not only on every tick but on all testing models getting same result on live account.
If you have any more idea what I could test please tell me.

Break it down into small parts. I downloaded your set file and successfully ran it on multiple demo accounts and a live account and I enclosed the details of my live account test. If it was a general problem, I would be besieged by issues as there have been over 1,000 downloads.

I have given you multiple hints. If you have a problem with your Companion Program upgrade and feel aggrieved because I have failed to provide support in spite of my replies to your 4 pm's and multiple posts with various attempts to assist you, then I will refund your money. Believe me, I have been down this path before only to find out one simple step was overlooked with a subsequent apology for the hours of support I have afforded.

Continue to educate yourself but you have recourse just the same as Richard because I won't dispute your claim. I'm just about over it.

Hi Dave

I like you program very much. Only the fact that you can very easy elobarate with buy and sell signals is worth a milion for trader.
My problem is that I dont get it to work on real account and heat map is makeing problem too not working. And as you wrote Companion program is not a problem and that is what I have paid for actualy. I am not angry att all just frustrate as I can not get it working, belive me even just working demo is still great tool.
I mean 30 backs is not alot for such great tool I am probably spending alot more weekly on unnecessery things. I dont have anywhere ellse to write but here about things that I have tried. Please tell me if that is bothering and I will stop.

I am going throuout all your hints one by one in hope to find solution. And I Think that it is established that it is not a problem with set files. I am trying trobleshooting now with mt4 platforms nown issues with backtesting. If you can Think of anything else what I could try plese tel me.
