i would like so know where are the manuals here
I assume you are talking about HGI?
viewtopic.php?f=88&t=3985
i have installed the templates and indicators, but i am having trouble installing HGI on Tdesk, it always makes an error.
You need all the hgi v16.09 indicators and hgi lib file (must go in your library folder)from pg1 here:
viewtopic.php?f=88&t=3964
USD setfile: Take note - this is a signals drone and not a buffers drone.

Follow the above steps and you cannot go wrong.
The second thing is, how does these "basket" works?
Sorry can not help you there. You need to play with the settings and dont expect anyone to spoonfeed you with this.

Cheers.
Hi Leon,

Thanks for the HGI USD preset. There is one small problem on the alert of HGI. The alert came on without any indicators on the indicators chart and how to disable the alert in the preset file if any?

Thanks

I had some time to investigate your problem. Look at Thomas's post above. "USD has a built-in HGI (using the HGI library)". Therefore look at your Usd indicator_ name setting. You have it as HGI_v17.00. This is wrong. Your setting is reading from the indicator and not the library. You must type in "HGI" only. I am sure this will solve your problem.
Hi Taipan,
There was a similiar querry from Gitarrain a while ago which solved his issue. My USD HGI setting reads from the HGI lib folder and not the indicator, therefore you should not get any alerts. Check that you have the indicator name typed in as "HGI" only.

Cheers
Leon

Hi Guys,

Something I have been playing with. There are times that the markets really screw the heck out of us. Also known as ranging periods, let alone Brexit and all the things that go with it. Well it becomes prevalent when you are a trend trader. Seeing that we are able to use multipile pairs, I have been working on something that could help out in these times. Why not snipe the market?

I must say that my Ea performed better than my manual trading this week.

So here goes:
Screenshot_819.png
I am dropping my usuall suspects GbpCad, EurNzd and ChfJpy. AudUsd I am surprized with so I keep it on for a while.

My Template:
Screenshot_820.png
Not so many trades and not a trading tart.
My Indicators:
I am using Stochs on multiple timeframes on 3 different settings.
Stochastic color mtf fast.mq4
Stochastic color mtf med.mq4
Stochastic color mtf slow.mq4
I am using slopey Bob 1hr t/frame, slopey buffers set up by Tomele:
SlopyBuffers.mq4
Volume indicator:
Waddah_Attar_Explosion_Modified.mq4
Peaky bob 1Hr time frame:
PeakyBuffers.mq4
My usual 1hr and 4hr timeframe Hgi indicators as in post 1.

Tdesk template:
TDesk v 6.81 - 17102020.tpl
UBD 1 - 17102020.tpl
USD 1 - 17102020.tpl
these settings are probably for more advanced TDesk traders and I have made it as logical and easy to read as possible. Much of my explanations are in post one of this thread. I will respond if there are genuine issues.

All the best
Cheers
Leon.

Great thanks for the share Leon

In your opinion, would these scalping settings be required to be suspended during trending periods or would they be ok to ride those out?

thanks, trader

Hi Trader,
Sorry for only getting back to you now.
My intention really is to get in when there are trendy periods with high volume, but to get out when we go into rangy periods and if trades are taken in rangy periods, to get out as quick as possible. Anyway no need to do anything manually and just let the Ea do its thing.
I really respect what Taipan brings to the table and have already implemented his tweaks. Looking positive so far today.
Thanks for your support.
Cheers
Leon

no worries Leon. Good to know that taipan's tweaks have made a positive impact

What I meant more was given that these new settings are ranging settings, should they be deactivated during trending periods, or can they just be left on at all times

thanks, trader
