Btw George very good results :good:

Just to let you know I am still here and very much testing different settings and leaning towards conservative settings in order to simulate live trading conditions.... ;)

Monday is usually slow but Mad proves once again that there are some pips to be made.

Hi Leon,

Yes not bad result and could have been even better but my TM EA did not work properly and will take a look @ my settings later. The EURCAD & GBPCAD trades would have given another 100 pips.

Will try some more conservative settings this week and see how it goes.

Rene, Quick question. MA filtering. UseMAFilter (Default: true):
If set to true, the EA works out the direction of the Filter MA for that symbol and next
higher timeframe.
The next HTF of? The TF the final trade trigger uses?

I want to ask question about TradingTimes parameter.
The setting above is GMT.
I read manual it's local PC time, not broker time.
If my PC (VPS) time is GMT -8 how to set this parameter.
+18.30,-23.59, +2.30,-4.59, +7.30, 8.59 = linear translation : ) But you can input like this: +2.30,-4.59, +7.30, 8.59, +18.30,-23.59

Example: GMT = 16.59 - 8h = 8.59

The next HTF refers to the time frame of the current column in the dash board. So, eg. it has worked out that there is an UP arrow for EURUSD on M5. If UseMAFilter is true, it filters this UP arrow, by looking at the direction of the MA for EURUSD on M15 (i.e. the next higher timeframe of M5).

I think you for get to check the box " Allow live Trading".

You must have attempted to closed the original chart, re-setup the EA on a new chart. The initial/default setting isn't allowing live trading, hence you need to check on the check box for allowing live trade.

Anyway, even my Empty4 seems to behave oddly last week with only BUY orders although i did make sure it is doing both long and short order on EA setup. Eventually, i've trashed the entire Empty4 instance and build a new instance over last weekend. Doing well now on both buy and sell with nice result.

*I must have used that rogue Empty4 instance extensively on other EA development and testing.
