mrdfx - sorry if you've answered this a number of times, but couldn't find it in your post history... :/

What are your weekly settings? Are they the default ones that are listed in the PDF in post 1?

Its a real pity you stopped sharing your CMSM indicator, v14.01 is working well, and I was looking forward to the next developments.

Please reconsider sharing again bud.

My weekly settings can be seen just by checking my screenshots.

I use slightly different set up compared to the the original one in the PDF, as I've adapted it over the last 1 year of using this strategy.

Start with the original strategy, run tests and different combinations and see which one suits your trading.

I have been very successful trading with this system since the start of this year. I have had 18 out of 18 winning weeks with an average profit of 200 pips per week. I am posting this to share my strategy and hope that others can benefit.

I trade only weekly baskets. I use the original indicator “CCFp-Diff_[v2.0]” with the settings 10080, False, False, Trade level=2. The EA I currently use is v40.3. I update to the latest version soon after xmess7 posts an updated EA. I will outline my strategy in following posts.

I attach a screenshot of my EA settings.

I started trading baskets using this indicator and EA during August 2017. I tested using different settings until I felt comfortable I had a profitable system. I also tested trading daily baskets but I never got comfortable and consistent winners. Pippopotamus has shown a profitable system for trading the daily baskets but I personally feel more comfortable trading weekly baskets.

The basket opening time is based on the New York Stock Exchange opening. I open the baskets (virtual or real) 40 minutes after NYSE open. The NYSE opens at 09:30 Eastern time (13:30 GMT) so I open the baskets at 10:10 Eastern (14:10 GMT). My reason for this time is that during testing in 2017, I noticed a lot of volatility during the NYSE open and again at the top of the hour. So I decided to avoid these periods.

Awesome.... keep it up. When u get an opportunity plis send over a preset. For in case u are not familiar.. to create the prsert oepn the inputs window and click on Save As .. once saved yoi csn find the preset file under MQL4/Presets. Plus if ya can pls post an equity curve... be nice to see the smoooooth curve that u probably have developed...

Here are the details of my strategy:

1. Open Real Basket on Tuesday at 14:10 GMT.

2. Open Virtual Basket at exactly the same time on Tuesday at 14:10 GMT. The position size for the VB is 50% higher than the position size for the Real Basket. If the position size for the RB is 0.02 lots, then the VB position size is 0.03 lots. If position size for RB is 0.04 lots, then VB position size is 0.06 lots, etc.

3. The trigger for the VB to open real basket is a “big” drawdown. The trigger level depends on the number of positions traded, as follows:

# of positions: 6 or less, Trigger level: -200 pips
# of positions: 7 to 10, Trigger level: -300 pips
# of positions: 11 to 14, Trigger level: -400 pips
# of positions: 15 or more, Trigger level: -500 pips

When you fix the settings for the VB, check the number of positions that the indicator suggested and adjust the trigger level.

4. If the Real Basket hits the profit lock, then you cancel the VB and you are finished for the week.

5. If the VB triggered a second basket, then you need to monitor your baskets for a good time to exit. Once you have enough profit from the second basket to make up for the losses of the first basket you can consider closing both baskets. My average profit from second baskets has been +200 pips, more than enough to make up for losses from the first.

So this is an overview of my system. I have traded for 18 weeks this year, and they have all been winners. The Virtual Basket triggered a second basket on 7 of the 18 weeks.

On following posts I will show details of my weekly results.

Here goes my first ever post on FF.

Good work, Yohec. I have been testing the EA since couple of weeks with daily setting and no loss day so far. I am using the older 37 version. I like how you using it. Looking forward to your posts.


Cheers

I also created a simple equity curve (in pips). I can't attach the preset file. I tried "Upload From Device" but it won't take it. I get this message Error: This file type is not supported.
