Is the direction changing?????

Attachment Attachment
The first retracement on most JPY pair was 61% and has come down to 38% on the second leg (which is still in progress with support at 23%) if the leg carries down further south... then it does look like a RED Week

Not yet , only the H1 has given a sell , i consider it weak sell as it has not breached the 200 EMA . more over if you see h4 the candle is all blue , I think it is just dipping to hit the blue candles of h4 may be pierce it as well but unless the h4 candle change color it is not a trend change in true sense.

Hello seller and other traders, this week some trades at the 1 hour but and up in a loss because
I did not excit on the rigth time and the Breakeven did not work, I asked in the "still basketing" thread
the reason for it and it seems that kos ea does not automatically close at breakeven, you
have to do it manual by dragging the breakeven block on the chart.

I hope that your ea does close automatic at BE.

The 4 hour trend confirmation, is this hardcoded or can it be turned off so the ea only looks at the 1 hour for a trade?

How did it go this week on demo?

Seller9, what do you think of this:

trade on the 4 hour basket chart, look for resistance level
and then set an entry line manual on the chart, open a trade
when candle closes above or below the line.
There are some ea's for this but could not find one
for basketing, perhaps an idea for another ea.

How did it...
I don't have close at BE in the EA yet, but I am going to add it this weekend and it will close the trade if hit.
The way it will work is you can set the SL to BE after a ceratin amount of pip gain. So if you set BEpips = 200, after 200 pips of gain the SL will be moved to BE and left there. The SL when taken will be based on $dollar profit when it hits zero dollars of profit, makes it easier than trying to calculate spreads and what nots to place the SL at BE using pips.
You will then have the option to use a trailing stop loss if you want or just wait for the close trade signal which will be your choice of H1 color change or PA close above/below HAS.

You will also have the option to disable the H4 confirmation and just trade the H1 and use the M5 for the entry.

I still have a few kinks to work out, I like to get it perfect before I post it, saves on a lot of questions that can some times cause concern.

I see some pips could have been made using the manual mode this week or even good MM with T101 EA.

I do have a demo of the T101 also running on 5 pair just using the HAS for open and close and it took a loss.

Good Luck

I have a simple EA that uses just 2 lines and you can move them around and when the PA breaks above the high line or breaks below the low line a trade is taken. I have used it when I didn't want to set in front of the computer and wait for a break. These can aslo be moved around to do different things depending on where you place them. These can be used as horizontal lines or can be adjusted to show a up or down trend line that could signal a trade when broken.
So this is something that may be something for thought later on after we see how the first run of the EA goes.

Doest that mean SL (BE set) will be based on Accountprofit instead of modifying each order? If thats the case then it would be a good idea to have the BE set a few pips above zero... as mostly with the market movement, if we try to close all the orders when profit reaches zero on the account, most probably it will result in a few $ in losses (considering the momentum of the movement) before all orders are eventually closed.
I would suggest using Multipurpose trade manager EA or atleast part of its code for setting SL to BE, it works like a charm.

EA Update:

Not mush to report yet as I have been making changes to the EA and I was also out of town most of the week so not enough time to get a good weeks worth of runs in yet. I got a trade last night on a reentry after I had done a restart of the EA and I have a couple screen shots below to show what took place, the first one is when the trade started and the second one is where it stands now. This trade only used the M5 HAS for the trigger, H1 HAS for direction and a 50 pip entry filter after the trigger. Looks like the HTSL is now working as you can see it on the chart (yellow Line). I have made the H4 HAS selectable, so you don't need to use it for trend direction if you don't want to.

I need a full week of running yet, so hang tight, keep doing the manual trades, looks like some good pips to be made wih this system.

The second chart with the captions should explain what is going on and what things do.

Hello Seller,
ea took a trade on the 1 hour 5 pair, but on thursday price went up again,
my demo account expired that day so the ea was stopped and data was lost.

The trend ea took a trade on the gbpjpy chart, I use this one because I have
no trendline ea for basketing, the gbpjpy looks very simular with the 5 pair chart,
so trend ea is put on this chart, it ended up in a breakeven.

Your screen shots are looking good, I hope we have a lot of price movements
next week, good for testing your ea.
Release next week?

I will start posting screen shots of how to use the EA this week and if all goes well this week and we get some trade action the EA should be ready by next weekend, I kind of like to get things perfect (close as I can) before I release them.

Good Luck

Help Page #1 - Basics -

The EA will use 2 or 3 offline charts (M5,H1,H4), depending on if you have decided to use the H4 as a long term trend option.
The M5 will be the trigger for a long or short trade (color change of HAS).
The H1 will determine the direction of the trade by its color (Blue = long, Red = short), color change does not matter, only the color, it will also be used to find th best entry (more later).
The H1 will also be used for exits (more later)
The H4 can be selected as an option to determine the longer trend (Blue = long, Red = short).

Help Page #4 - Hot Keys -

We have all used "Hot Keys", so you should all know what they are. I have incorporated them into the EA to make it easier to do things faster, I hope you like them as I do.

Remember: When using these hot keys and you have more than one EA running, even if it is on a different Broker, you may activate the wrong open program. The EA is always looking for a hot key entry, (unless you disable them in the EA properties), so if you have 3 EAs running anyone of them could be activated by your hot key entry.

The "Hot Keys" are the LEFT Ctrl key + one of the numbers (0 -9) along the top of the keyboard.

1) Open a Buy trade for a 5 pair basket (Ctrl + 1)
2) Open a Sell trade for a 5 pair basket (Ctrl + 2)
3) Close all open trades (Ctrl + 3)
4) Open alert Window (Ctrl + 4) (at times you would like to see what the last alert window showed)
5) Check pip calibration(Ctrl + 5) (toggle)
6) Disable Robot from opening trades (Ctrl + 6) (toggle)
7) Disable Robot from closing trades (Ctrl + 7) (toggle)
8) Be a Buyer or Seller or both (Ctrl + 8) (toggle)
9) Disable live trading, Robot will still be able to close open trades (Ctrl + 9) (toggle)
0) Halt the Program (Ctrl + 0) (The program is now dead in the water until you restart it)
These will be explained more later on.
