What TF are you trading on?

I would be nice if we could find some standards when communicating, so it's easier to understand.
Like:
Trading on TF: 60
medium TF: 240
higher TF: 1440
max DD:
losing trades:
winning traders:
pairs traded:
running time:
etc. (maybe we could come here to an agreement)

or even post the set files when commenting own trades.
Yesterday I made 300 pips in 5h and then lost 250 when the euryen came down. This information is not of just of no use for you.

Kind regards.
I agree. It is better to understand.

Regards

I take the point, but as I'm the only one breaking down my trades by symbol and trade type (and lovely colour coding toboot!!), I feel this is better than the usual "made a gazillion pips today" type post :D

Post subject:  Holy Graily Bob - Bet the Farm on Trend Arrow + Wavy

Hi Steve. Thanks for adding the Trend + Wave trade parameters! 8-)

I'm not a coder, so I need to ask: Is there any lookback technology, or is it simply, "if wave + trend arrow show up on the same bar, open the trade?"

The reason I ask is because, in Bob's example pic, several of the highlighted signals show that the wavy line shows up a candle or two before the trend arrow. These signals appear to perform very well. If lookback is not already coded in, perhaps it is something that would be helpful in a future version.

Just a note about the wavy lines for anyone that is as confused about their horizontal position as I was - until last night: If we zoom all the way in on a chart, we can see that the wavy line is equal in width to one candlestick. Therefore, it is fairly safe to assume that the center of the wavy line will indicate the candlestick to which it belongs on zoomed-out charts where the wavy line spreads across several candlesticks.

I think they don't ask you when loged in with admin rigths (which isn't a good idea anyway). Log in as user and Empty4 is asking you to upgrade, then you can say no. Anyway, there are other workaorunds like renaming 'WebInstall' folder and making a file with the same name with read only flag.

Just a thought.

I'm going to try looking for overall direction on higher timeframes [W1, D1, H4], and then setting the bot to just take trades in the direction of the higher timeframe.

So, let's say you have wavey lines above price and/or a down arrow on D1 chart, then attach the bot to a H4 and/or H1 chart, but only allowing it to trade short.

Would appreciate the thoughts of the senior members on this.

I've had a couple of beers before posting this, so please feel free to flame me!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Cheers,

Rob
It's a setting in the EA..... :clap:
Hey Gertje! I Set up the bot to trade on the M15 tf, but only in line with H4 direction.

However, it seems as though the H4 direction is only taking into account the big trend arrow and not the waveys.

Is this the case? And if so, can it be altered?

Cheers!

Hi,

I've seen it being implemented by Steve, but haven't used it yet.
Maybe in the manual there is a subscribtion on how to use it?
