Hey guys, Back for another update. I had some more time to implement virtual baskets in my excel analysis so can now optimize for entry/exit times, Sl/TP and virtual basket settings. I'll explain the way I worked my analysis as some people probably haven't read my previous posts. What I did is gather data with 1440 FT,10080 FT and 43200 FT and then averaged the respective baskets for every minute to get a graph like below. I then created 9 basket trades out of the observed trends with the entry and exit times as seen in the graph. {image} This puts...
........I have never seen better work here at FF since I've been a member. How many trials do you think will be necessary before you have stats that you will have confidence in? Do you think that Summer's volatility (normally lower than the other seasons, as you know) will skew your results?

Then open 5 charts and schedule several daily opening times each chart to cover the whole week based on the release of the news
Yes you could open 5 charts too. That is another way of doing this.
What I was eluding too was that you can also do it on one chart.
If for example your aim was a quick basket 50 pips TP, then you could just set 5 open hours on one chart.

Which ever way it is done the EA will consider the open hours and, if on one chart, the length of the trade. That is if TP/Sl is not reached by the next news even the EA will ignore the news event open time and continue with the current trade.

@xmess7 I noticed something weird going on with in my experts log. In the screens hot you can see the same message being repeated every second. Everything functions fine but the message just keeps repeating itself. I don't know how long its been going on, I only noticed it yesterday. Any suggestions to get it to stop? I'm using V37.7.6. Thanks.

hey oocat:

I noticed that you started with 1 demo and 1 live. Now you have 3 live accounts.
what happened with the demo? How did that finish?
Of the 3 live accounts which is the one that start on 7/3? When did the other 2 start?

What is your lotsize in proportion to the balance size? For example in your 7/3 image you are using 0.01 for each basket and the balance I see is about $5000. Then in another image you show a balance of $9000. Are u using .02 lots for that $9000 balance? In your live accounts are u using the same ratio to determine the lotsize?

Yep, that is left over debug info. It looks like it's the trigger hour variable, it was when I was fixing the issue with the EA opening up baskets at any random hour.
I recompiled v37.7.6 and placed it on the file server. If it bother's you go ahead and download the updated version.
It does not affect anything other than your expert log file will be a little bigger, not much.

Make sure to make a backup copy for in case the update does something weird, remember it has been changed and modified several times and even though I still had it, there may be something I left in it or whatever.

Hi David,
I would love to be able to apply this data to my trading record of F/F ...I have around 6 weeks of consistence entry and exit based on xmess7 system but using 10080 setting and using daily basket at Tokyo open.I had a bad run of 4 days on one week so it would be interesting to see what secret the analysis holds.
Could that be run on F/F ?
I am using a different MA as well.
Its working very well so far but would love to see if it can be tweaked further.

Over the course of three weeks testing, I have had 8 losing baskets. Still, overall positive. In 7/8 of these baskets, the max favorable pip count failed to reach a total of 10 pips per pair traded. My template with all settings is found in the thread. I would like to be able to open a virtual basket at the time EA is scheduled to open trades. However, I would have the EA withhold entries until 10 favorable pips/pair (a value to be determined by user) is reached. I have looked at several of the current EAs, and as far as I can tell, virtual baskets are to be opened at 00:00 GMT. If there is an input/way to change this time, I can't seem to find it. Any help will be greatly appreciated. ...Pippo

Really awesome results, and thank you for such a detailed report. May I ask why you decided on using the FT setting for all your baskets as apposed to the more popular and commonly used TF, and FF setting?

Also I'm sure there are specific reasons for choosing those opening times for the baskets? Could you elaborate please?

Thank you xmess7 I just updated to V37.7.7 and it has stopped.

May I ask is it possible to edit which candle filter time frames are used in the new beta 15? I see it says H4,D1,W1, is it possible to perhaps be able to select for example, D1,W1,MN instead?

I also loaded beta 15 and the "open basket" "reset EA" "close all baskets" seem to be slightly off? See below.

Awesome,, this is what I was interested in:
"4th live account money is usd $3800 , lot base is 0.01".

Later on I may try something like this on $10K live account, so according to that number I would use roughly .03 lots/$10K

Great, got it and will keep track of what you are doing to estimate expected profitability

It was not a good week for my weekly baskets this week, but not all weeks are the same and we can't expect every week to be profitable.

On the other hand i was advised that this week would not be a good week for trading and I took the risk anyway.. lesson learned lol.

I did observe however that the baskets that open last week at the beginning of the month flourished this week. My observation was that many pairs were consolidating this week but they respected the previous weekly trend.

Another week and another dollar, lets hop for a better week ahead! Green pips to you all.

The release of the button was not planned. I added it cause I saw the need since several folks are starting to get involved with the news events and the offline combined basket. So estetically I expected that this would happen . On my screen it looks fiiiine LOL. I'll need just a little time to tweak it so that the EA recognizes the different resolutions and makes the adjustments.

I can add an extra input (there you go Jenbol another input) that will allow the user to designate the TFs they require for the Candle Filter. The indicator is not needed cause the logic is embeded into the code, but please do test it. Someone reported that it was not matching up properly. Let me add the new input and I will also add a print debug where it will show the 3 candle directions .. I'll use colors so that you can match it against the indicator.

And i still think he needs a couple more to make it an effective basket trader.

LOCKMUTIPLIER !

If you have a basket of 10 trades you lock at 400 for 50% (200) that leaves room in a worst case of 20 pips per pair to move against you leaving you with 200 pips which is pretty sound automatic trading.

If you are a month trader and you are at 4000 pips and have a lock for 50% (2000) and you will allow 10 pairs each to move 200 pips against you and you are left with 2000 pips you are just plain stupid.

Yeah it could just be my screen resolution, I use a MBP 13" is all good though cheers.

As for the candle filter indicator you say its already embedded in the code, so which candle time frames is the EA using to filter the suggestions? I ask this cos for a daily setting using H4,D1,W1 would be better, and for a weekly setting D1,W1,MN would be better, so depending on the basket you trading we could choose, unless of course it irrelevant as its already in the coding as you say, then I can perhaps just ignore it..
