jarfar00,

Error 131 is invalid trade volume. Are you using UseMM=true? What is your lot size? I believe some brokers don't allow lots sizes with 2 decimal place value. If UseMM=true, try false and set Lots=0.1. I curious, let me know what you find out.

Wackena
Thanks for the explanation. I turned off MM and set it to 0.1 lots. I'll let it run overnight and report my results.

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the delay - I was enjoying so much my trip that I decided to stay longer.

Glad your back

.....

I'm going to answer all the questions on the forum and PM in the next days because i have to catch up a little before.

Bye
Where did you find SHI_SilverTrendSig? I ask this once on the forum but no one seems to know. I only got an answer for the NonLagMA. Do you know what SHI_SilverTrenSig is or how it works?

Thanks again for sharing this idea.

I,ve downloaded all the zip indicators to the MT4 platform. I can't make heads or tails over the Shi_SilverTrend SigAlert. I just got an alert saying (EUR/JPY M60 Cross Buy) but my chart shows a red dot, FX Siper crossing down and my 5MA crossing down over the 9MA. My question is why I,m I getting an alert to buy when all the other indicators are to sell? Also ,I'm getting like three alerts at a time within two seconds as if one alert has triggered the next two. But again, these alerts are sometimes telling me to do the opposite of what my other indicators are telling me. Can anyone help me with this problem? It's very imortant to me that this alert system is working properly because of the job I have and not being able to watch the computer constantly. I do want to thank the originaters of this super system.

Attached is modified EA. I still not sure it is operating correctly. I need to see more how it opens and closes orders. So, at present use with caution.

Yesterday I installed Bogie_Tlatomi_v1.0a and started a test.

Today there were two trades: sell on EURUSD and sell on GBPUSD - see the statement attached. Both trades was closed in profit by the software using SL. This function was probably triggered by setting UseCloseSignal=1. BTW I do not know how the the SL point was calculated, I would appreciate if I could get some information about that.

My settings were:
UseMM=0
Risk=5.00000000
Lots=0.10000000
UseCloseSignal=1
TrailingStop=20.00000000
TakeProfit=34.00000000
StopLossMode=1
StopLoss=377.00000000
AllBars=0
Otstup=30
Per=9.00000000

So, it was a profitable start, Bogie_tlatomi_v1.0a is a promising new EA.

Thank you Wackena for your valuable work!

A1Cruiser,

The TrailingStop (ts) has adjusted the StopLoss (sl) on both orders. This means on a sell order, the Ask has moved down more than the ts = 20 pips below entry price. This triggered the sl to be modified to Ask + 5 pips. Then if Ask keeps moving down another ts = 20 pips below new sl, the sl is modified again to Ask + 5 pips and etc. On the eur/usd order with 32 pips profit, the sl was reset two times. You should be able to check Journal report and see two modify entries. The gbp/usd order had the sl modified one time.

I think this is how it works.

Hello judex001 and others

I´ve made some modifications to the original method trying to avoid the SHI_silvertrend_signal.
First, I´ve modified one indicator to show in chart window the crosses of the FX Sniper´s ergodic CCI Trigger.
Then I added some MA, and discarded SHI_silvertrend_signal and added a Zig Zag based indicator.
Like all zigzag indicator, previous low and previous high can be modified any time due to price action, but in 4h the repaints are not common or, not in the same way like SHI_silvertrend _signal does.

Pls, see the picture.

I have been using the EA for 3 days now. I have all the indicators and knowledge of the original method and the updated versions. I see it opens positions where there is no signal.... Just wondering what the justification is for the positions?

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem. I am testing Bogie_tlatomi_v1.0a.
I tried EURUSD, GBPJPY, GBPUSD on M30, H1, H4, it opens trades randomly ignoring the rules.
They usually go in the wrong direction.

I hope Wackena can help.

Wackena,

I've been waiting for someone with enough knowledge to come up with an EA. Thank you very much for that.

I would like to ask you one thing though, if you please, add an e-mail notification to your EA, so if there is any activity on the account (buy/sell) e-mail will be sent to notify about the change.

Again, thank you very much.

As many have found out, the orignal posted EA did not totally operate as intended. It was also placing some orders opposite to desired long or short direction. It took awhile, but I think I found the reason. Attached is modified EA with the following extras.

1. UseMM - Option to use Money Management to set lot size based on Risk % of AccountEquity.

2. UseDot - Option to use Calculated Red - Blue dot location for order entry

3. UseCross - Option to use 5EMA & 9SMA cross for order entry.

4. UseStartBar - Option to use start of new bar for order entry.

(These 3 features can be used alone or in any combination for order entry)

Order exit is now when Dot value changes and 5EMA - 9SMA reverse cross.

In backtest, using Dot value only for order entry produced best results on H4 charts. Lower timeframe chart selections did not backtest well.

5. TrailingStop

6. UseHedgeOrder - Option to place hedge order if main order moves in wrong direction wth parameter set that can be set different than main order.

If problems are found, please advise and I will try to correct. If any additonal technical indicators would like to be used as compliment to order entry or exit, please advise and I will try to include in EA. This EA is a work in process. For me, the best improvements in an EA comes from the people that test it and provide feedback. This feedback needs to confirm the good and point out the bad aspects.

Dear All;
I think the Tlatomi method is an impressive method that can be applied profitablly to more pairs than those originally suggested by the creator. I need help with regard to a finding on the metatrader plateform.

The silver indicator "generating the dots" changes the position of the dots when I refresh the chart or edit the indicator properties for example such as the visualization settings of the indicator. This displacement is about one or two bars away. I'd like to know if this is normal or not and how can I make sure the dots don't change thier positions.

Thanks for help

wan_grunge,

I use the attached Indicator for the buy and sell dots and 2 Moving Average indicators. One is 5 EMA and the other 9 SMA.

For some reason, this attached indicator needs to be refreshed frequently to keep it accurate.
