Good to hear that! Slippage, news, etc, should not be a so big deal, they are probably negligeable compared to the profits. Agreed, TMA Centered gives a good feeling of overall past price movement for sure, although it "degrades" as you are ...

Nb 1.0 trend trade system

Thanks bob for the explanations. I am just very concerned about the results Duffy posted: the return is so high that it puts doubt on the type of TMA he used, especially because he scrolled the chart to find the entries and exits. As far as i ...

DO NOT USE TMA FOR VISUAL Backtesting: use TMAtrue ONLY — Duffy, Please don't tell me you are using the TMA when visually scrolling the chart and manually calculating the trades... Please tell me you are using TMAtrue... I ...

Nb 1.0 trend trade system

Hi, as i mensionned, TMA(true) = LWMA. The EA (as well as the manual trading method, BTW) uses only the current value of the TMA, so LWMA will give the exact same result as any version of TMA (true or regular). The EA does not look at the past ...

TMA optimization... — Steve, Well done, Sir! That was quick. Here is my usual "cpu-load" contribution... : The GetTMA() function invokes the "TMA" indicator using iCustom(), 3 times in a row (to get the midlle, low, and high TMA lines). As you ...

Hi This is normal behaviour for scripts: they are loaded, run once, then removed (unless the script does not "return" from the "start()" function). The "Journal" tab will only tell you that. This script outputs all its reports in the "Experts" tab ...

Finding Gaps in History Data

SuperSignal flaw explained — SuperSignal is just like any zigzag: it has a big weakness when a strong trend develops like in the past days on EU/GU, or the past few hours with the "fantastic" 200 pips drop on EU: just like zigzag, it will ...

do NOT use TMA... use "tmatrue" instead — Pinhead, DO NOT use this "TMA" indi: it is repainting all the time and USES FUTURE BARS TO LOOK VERY (TOO) PRETTY. Forget about it. You should use "tmatrue" instead, which is the same basis: ...

I just tried it again out-of-the-box, and it works fine with me. When your load it, you should get an Alert message saying "NOT TRADING". The dashbaord appears; Then, when you "start" it, another Alert pops with "Robot has re-started", and another ...

D1 candles or 24xH1 candles ? — Now, the other thing is: as D1 candles will differ for different brokrs and different "trade bell" setting... shouldn't our D1 bars be synchronized with "TradingHour"? If we set TradingHour to 12, the brokr's D1 ...

ForexKiwi's D1 Fibo trading auto-trader by Steve Hopwood

adding a "trading hour" input — Daily bars depend on the broker time shift, and 1 hour ahead or behind will probably give much different results. In fact, rather than using D1 charts, we should rather see this system as a ...

ForexKiwi's D1 Fibo trading auto-trader by Steve Hopwood

"some tweaking" might be just a little bit overexaggerated... My optimizer uses the chart's bars to determine trades outcomes. This EA being a D1 trader, the trade outcome cannot be determined with enough precision to be accurate. It needs first ...
