Ya, if anyone wants to help with the EA feel free. Just please keep the code clean and legible for the rest of us. If you guys are having individual issues with the EA, you can send me a private message and we can work that out individually so this ...

1.2 — I'm going to Boston for the week. Here's something to play with in the meantime. I'm curious to see whether the mechanism I used for partial closes works for you guys. The EA will open 2 trades of half the lot size if you choose to have ...

Ok thanks for the error reports. It's very strange that you are seeing a trailing stoploss because there is absolutely no code to modify orders once they are opened. There is nothing to trail. The only code that closes orders, closes them on a ...

Hmm, I have never encountered that problem. Were you backtesting on a currency or an index? I'm in the US so I have no clue what will happen when you run this on indices or metals. Also, though this may have nothing to do with your problem, all the ...

hotjoey, Run the EA on the smaller (fast) timeframe chart. This in all likelihood means the 15 minute time frame. Set PeriodShort to 15 in the variable settings. The EA will function regardless of the indicators on your chart, but you may add the ...

coolyman, Post your EA settings if you're having a problem. I ran the EA on GBP/NZD and got hit hard by the volatility yesterday. The EA should be trading exactly what you would trade manually with the system, so if the EA is doing poorly all your ...

I never gave you permission... j/k Ok, well if you look at the second point I made, I had said that we need to draft some refined entries on the 15 minute charts, so that we don't flood the market with precarious trades when we get a ...

hotjoey, If you're talking about TTT 1.1, then it adds new order with every signal on the M15 or (ShortPeriod). So if the daily trend is down, it will sell every time it sees a MA cross on the M15. Essentially, it should trade no differently than if ...

Looking over all the testing data for the past few months paints a rosier protrait of trading conditions than they should actually be. GBP/NZD and EUR/NZD were perfect scenarios for trading this system from May until the present. Too good perhaps, ...

1.1 — Run this on the 15 minute chart or whatever you have PeriodShort set to when testing. ShortEMA - the quick ema for the longer time frame, such as the 3 on daily LongEMA - the slow ema for the longer time frame, such as 5 on daily ...

OK, with 1.0, it is possible to have a margin call simply because your balance drops due to having so many open trades, regardless of whether they are all in profit. I saw that and added some code to prevent the EA from opening new trades when you ...

Come to think of it, since I'm using daily highs and lows for stoplosses, and since we're mainly closing trades on a daily time frame, I don't believe it's necessary to achieve 90% modeling quality. It shouldn't matter that trades may close with a ...

Are you using a 5 digit broker? I'm using FXCM so the behavior will be totally wrong if you are using 4 digit precision. Eur/jpy did produce losses for me. I think it just about broke even when using partial closing of orders. Using daily highs and ...

Early Results — I don't know how to get 99% test accuracy, but here are some early results. I'm using 3 ema cross 5 ema and I only close orders at trend change. I used a 50k account and all trades were mini lots. Profit from April 4 to July 12 ...

TTT - by TheBrigadier v1.0 — There's good news and bad news. Good news is I got to stay home from work today and program the EA. The bad news is I have pneumonia. Here is the initial version of the EA for you to look at. It follows the ...

EA — I'm actually a computer scientist so I can help you with the EA. I'm going on vacation for the 4th of July but I can get working on it when I get back.

Trade Management — What has produced better results for you thus far: closing half the trade when price has reached profit equal to stoploss as outlined in post #85 or waiting for the daily to pierce the MA as in post #112?

No, I read it. I was just being facetious with my "uncertainty."

Elections — I'm gonna take a shot in the dark here and say this probably isn't a good weekend to have open trades.

Divergence on the Weekly — This isn't directly related to the TMA but I figured I would share this here since it does involve the trix. Weekly divergence on the trix seems to without fail predict the following week's movement. It can be pretty ...
