a pic to show the difference between criminals.
top installation is ava criminal and is working correctly. note the ea is outside of trading hours but still displays correctly.

bottom part is markets criminal and is in trading hours and trading both 10.2, and 1.02a. Indicators are not displaying correctly.

I'm positive this is criminal related and serves as a warning to all of us to check that we are getting the right signals before we blame the ea.

Hope it's not me imbibing too much tonight! :D

Well, you have no weekly/monthly pivot points. I'm guessing that's the root of the problem.

Of all the steps you took, I have no doubt it was the swig that made all the difference.... :lol:

So have had pretty good luck with MultiBob v1.1.11 as you can see from the link in my signature to FXstat it is up 292 pips this week with another 109 in profit right now. I am debating on just letting this run by itself to see how well it performs.

Baluda wrote:New version MultiBob v1.2.12 in post 1.
Changes:
  • Started development of NB10.2a CTS as described here.
  • Kicked minor version number
Notes
  • CTS timeframe is H1 only.
  • MultiBob only calculates (and displays if configured) the CTS indicators: bias, momentum, hptp and wriggle space.
In other words CTS is for testing purposes only, it will NOT trade.

May the pips be with you,

Paul
Hi Paul,

I'm excited to see CTS alive in MultiBob.
I should be providing some feedback from later today. Thanks.

Cheers,
CC

Great System CoolnCalm. I remember speaking with Bob last year about a system that always kept you on the side of the monthly and weekly trends. The order of the higher TFs dictates what the lower TFs do IMHO as you have said - although the new trends must develop on the lower TFs - But as Al Brooks said in his excellent Price Trading Books, "You should take every with-trend opportunity the market offers you. You will only be wrong once - at the top or the bottom". He also states that "There are just no reliable counter-trend set-ups and the math is against you trading CT -therefore, never trade CT"

Looking back at my PASR trading system, yours has taken many of the same trades, just a bit earlier than my daily based entries - not a bad thing, as it can reduce stop losses and risk.

I'm currently watching audusd as it looks to be making its way back to the MP - but the piviot alignments tell me this is in a downtrend and we are seeing a retrace. If we get a new H4 high posted at the MP along with the TMA Slope bands then I think we have a valid set-up.

Concerning the "zero divide" error i reported earlier, i don't know if any others are experiencing that error too, but i post it here in case it helps anybody. When error happens ea stops trading, for me today it didn't trade at all, and restarting the platform, reinstalling or recompiling didn't help either, so i searched this forum for that error, and i think i found why it happens: http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... ide#p25138

It seems to happen at CalculateLotSize() when price1 equals price2, so i added this " || price1 == price2 " to the first calculateLotSize() if condition, and ea is now throwing trades again ;)

Code: Select all

if ( price1 < EPSILON || price2 < EPSILON || price1 == price2 ) return ( lot );
Warning: I'm a total newbee+dummy, so maybe the above makes no sense, don't know, but it worked for me. It is strange because with previous versions i was getting that error only once a day at 24:00 crim's clock, but after latest update v1.2.12 i couldn't make it work until this code fix.

Thanks! :D
Glad you like it ... it should be even better as a bot.

Nice call. However, I cannot predict PA for the life of me, I can only fast-follow the current/emerging bias at high probability points :lol:
Seeing that PA has reached significantly beyond its trading range to touch MP, it may either do what you have suggested, or fall back just enough to gather further momentum and then go back up all the way beyond MP to the H4 trading range upper limit until it sets a H4 high. Both secenarios are probable so do not get caught unawares. Either way, the pair looks good to sell on momentum weakness near MP. in the first scenario, the short entry will last a while; in the latter, it will be very brief and setting BE will be key.

Hi Paul,

Thanks again for incorporating CTS into MultiBob. Here's my initial feedback:

1) I have got 2 entry signals thus far which is good:
- Buy EURAUD at 1.27091 with the comment "D1 Trend" in a DT. However, the entry actually meets CTS Sell conditions instead (near upper Fast line, above SMA(20) & SMA(240), TMASlope <0.55)
- Sell AUDCHF at at 0.95244 with the comment "D1 Trend" in a UT. However, the entry actually meets CTS Buy conditions instead (near lower Fast line, below SMA(20) & SMA(240), TMASlope >-0.55)
Is it possible the conditions may have been switched around?

2) The display presents the CTSBias correctly; however, especially in **-RR pivot formations, emerging bias resulting from a MTF high/low or MP crosses is yet to be captured. Should this be expected soon?

3) Can the CTSMom value be shown along with the info on whether it is strengthening or weakening?

4) Can the CTSHPTP column display the distance from the appropriate FastTMALine (upper for a UT, lower for a DT formation)?

i hope you find this useful.

Cheers,
CC
