Can't help you with the closing problem, but the setfile is for D1, only. I don't know how it would perform on lower time frames. I would recommend running it in your tester, in visual mode, and see
what's going on.

When I test The8 with UsePreviousHighLowTS, I get the exact same results,
regardless of whether it is set to true, or false. The graphs and stats reveal identical
performance. If I'm doing something wrong, or missing something, please advise.

Hello RJo,

thanks for this great ea...fully appreciate you sharing this.
i put the version v1z on my demo ic markets account yesterday and inadvertently placed it on h1 charts, the ea actually triggered trades based on the h1 chart..2 trades were triggered . i found it odd caused u mentioned its hardcoded to d1 ? not a big problem i suppose but just reporting this anomaly.

I advise forward testing where I have tested UsePrevHighLowTS successfully. I don't rely on the tester for anything but determining whether an EA is completely defunct.
I do a lot of forward testing, but I was just curious, since all the other functions seem to be working fine in the tester.

Hi RJo,
I have been following the development progress of your The8_EA and running some forward multi-pairs tests. So far, the result is not bad, but recently some trades have been closed in negative.
I have previously read from FF in The7's thread, where Silat50 uses the MA angle to filter his trades; so I have visual checked some recent loss trades with the MA angle indicator and they seemed to be triggered by the EA while the MA angle was still in opposite direction to the trades.
If you would like to consider adding an MA Angle indicator to filter the EA opening trades, I think it is worth to try.
In the attached SS, I have added 2 indicators where the today's NZDCHF trade was not match with both indies.

Thanks,
Belka

RJo,
thanks for sharing the EA.
My results from last week (broker Alpari UK). On 15th I used v1y. From 16th I changed to v1z. Trade GBPCHF was a manual intervention (Hedge bec. trade went long) . HWM was 9.950.- Proft > reached later 7.700, then all Pairs closed with trailling SL -> Profit 7.161,- .

Hi Tebis - impressive results - which setfile do use for v1z ? Could you post it ? Or is it OOTB ? Do you use the halfclosing possible with v1z ?

Hmm ... ok - so which changes must be made in the setfiles ?
