The Great HGB Foward Test

EA's inspired by nanningbob's work here, especially those based on his 240 Moving Average trend detection filter.

The Great HGB Foward Test

Also reduce the max number of bars in history and chart to 300: Tools|Options|Charts
Failure to do this might mean that the CPU will max out.
As I read this in the first post I want to inform you all HGI needs for working correct at least 550 bars in history for the selected TF, if you have less the calculations will be impacted and the indicator will not work properly.

Cheers :)

Now I'm sure that HGB should only need the indicator in the folder to work and not attached to the chart.

Has been working fine up till this point, any one else seeing this issue?
Strange,,
What's happening is the initialization routine.
I've added this piece of code so the HGB starts trading quickly.

Long story short... The EA does'nt find any wave signal in the past few 100 candles.
(believe I have set it to 100, should be enough).

So, check yourself if you see any wavys on the chart.
Have to add, that there must have been an event, which causes the EA to reinitialize.
You might wanna check the experts tab. :)



For those who find the techy geeky stuff interesting...... :geek:
The HGB is entering trend trades (think this might be also true for rad) when the tma status is RangeEnd.
This is determined by the wavy's.
In the older version of HGB, you had to attach it to a chart..
wait for the next wavy to show up.. and then it knows if its ranging or trending..
(if its seeing a ranging wave, you'll even have to wait longer)
To speed thing up, (don't like unnecessary waiting, specifically not when I am testing the thing).
I've made a routine which actively searching the chart for the last wavy.
Checks if its a blue or yellow one, and determine the trend (or range).

Oops, just realized that this is one of the things Steve has changed in the EA when we did separate the development of the EA.
So the newer versions of the HGB might behave differently then I described.

Just noticed that live trading was unchecked on AUDCHF not sure if it was a gremlin or operator error.

I do not think that your results are affected, as it is only used to printout in clear text the type of error
Cheers :)

Since I have been running the test without it, I will place the stdlib.ex4 file in the library folder after the market closes on Friday.

Thanks again for your advice :good:

I am asking this question as I am using the portable mode on my platforms which make it easier for me to add indicators/ea, to save the platform...

When you use the portable mode, the various indicators and libraries... are stored in Program files. In the standard mode they are stored in the user directory....

Even when I use the portable mode, I have to make sure that some of the libraries are installed in the user directory otherwise sometime I have this issue for stdlib.

Just an idea which might help to track the issue.

Cheers,
G

No, I am not using MTCrap portable mode. I actually have never tried it before but I will check it out this weekend and post my findings if any.


Thanks for letting my know :good:

I had the same.... and I also thought you only needed the indicator in the folder (as that would save CPU power). But yes I had the same warning.

I think somewhere in the successive updates, Steve or Boinvest put in a check to look for the Indi in the system (if not HGB will remove itself). But also at some time a check was introduced to see if the Indi is on the chart.
Edit ... see post above ... apparently Boinvest added the function.

From what I can understand it has to do with reading the TMA signal...
But you should ask the real coders about that.

I only started recently with saving the previous versions of HGB so I don't know when it was introduced. I can't be bothered to reread the whole 110 HGB pages and there is no real version change list.

But as long as it works ... I am happy.

I just had some looks over all the opened charts on my instances and made a cross check with myfxbook.
There were already trade signals on all 28 pairs, and my two instances are the only ones which had taken trades on all 28 pairs. There must be some real issue why there are so many trades missing in the other instances.

Yes I´ve had them on GJ, and I´m running the test on a PC. All in all my test is really depressing to watch, it is trying its best NOT to make pips :cry: I have completely left it alone from start up and with OOTB settings. Not sure what's up :?

Just read in the HGB thread that Bob solved this problem. But couln´t find any hint if Steve also did.
