I would like to understand the basic logic, step by step, so that I can make a manual calculation. This gives me a better understanding of the system's core principles. /Archie
About Levels calculations, yes you can do it manfully and it will match ,, it is just hat you have to consider
to take the levels to the nearest next or previous number _
ex: if you get 1.7 its lev 2 and if you get 1.3 it's level 1 and so on _
You do know that you need to open the Data window in mt4 yes ?

Here is a guy asking Ferrux 10 years ago same question Post 842 Post 844
Ferrux answer : <> Post 845 (read more below in the posts of that thread)
I had asked also almost the same question to ferrux last year here :

Here below some of the Ccfp code posted by a member just to see
how the coder use pairs of GBP USD JPY etc ... to make their calculations
and also you will see some Ma's appearing there too
ccfp original code
https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...74#post2316774
The question about the Ma is that the MA is the essential part of CCFp.
Someone had also defined the CCFp/CC like a strength indicator in a moving average form.
When you use bar, we compare the current price, but not CCFp value that is derived from the Ma calculation.
When Ferrux began to make the ccfp-diff he had planned calculations
on the Candles values_ and infact the Bar instead Ma he added because
a member had this idea _

Best of luck and i am sure you will find what you look for with research and passion for what you like

Obviously, you have put in a lot of effort for this thread. salute.

I have not been doing this test anymore as my focus has been on other things, but I'm still following keenly to learn how consistent this test is overall.

I am still actively trading this strategy, although after 8 months of testing I've made some changes along the way, and I am no longer trading weekly baskets as over time they did not show enough consistency for me so I am only running daily baskets now. Weekly baskets can work well, but I found that a lot can change in the market during the week, and overall I was BE on weekly baskets so I stopped. For daily baskets I started out with over 20 variations of daily settings, and ran monthly tests narrowing it down gradually to the top 3 which I'm...
I was testing all kinds of settings, and variations over the last 6 months, and every week I was collecting data on the winners and losers, and I narrowed it down each week until I got to the final top 3. This week I completed my testing, and picked the final winner. The winner is a simple 2 basket set up with a 100 pip target, using a VB, and candle filters. Overall this setting was the most consistent, and profitable over 6 months, and made a good weekly profit.
Below you will find my template and set file. Test it, play with it, and make any adjustments like lot size etc. I hope you guys will find this as profitable for you as well.
Green pips to you all.

{quote} So with all your data you've collected and weekly results, have you ascertained as to whether using the VB is beneficial? I have not been doing this test anymore as my focus has been on other things, but I'm still following keenly to learn how consistent this test is overall.
I have so far seen that using the VB is beneficial for not only preventing losing days but also for capturing the days that turn around from initial draw down and run into profit.
I'll carry on testing for another couple of months and then compare results
here's my results, actually reset the baskets so we got some stats this week! Experimenting different opening times...
As you can see, compared to the results i uploaded last time, almost a flip situation. The early baskets were lower DD this time. Soooo....think I might just test one more week to see but if similar, then 9:02 GMT on tuesdays is the best time for me.

mrdfx your share is very much appreciated, culminating as it has from months of rigorous testing.
can i ask a favour, can you also upload the fxm_diff version you are using? and if possible let us know the version number of the xm7 EA? (i know it has to be renamed for the template to work). i am having some difficulties in getting the template to load. basically there keeps coming an error message to the effect that the ccfp diff indicator is missing from the chart in the event that i try and load the template. if i do load the ccfp diff onto the chart, then the fxm diff indicators do not load / display on the chart
thanks, blam

{quote} For those of you who remember this post from last month, I mentioned that I was running a final test on some daily baskets. Instead of holding trades for the whole week, and targeting huge pips, my focus was on smaller consistent daily gains.
