{quote} That's pretty cool so perhaps for orange news we can set a filtered basket but maybe only shoot for lets say 50 pips TP, like a hit and run FIFO. Set a higher lot size ao we can still make money on it. I'll be setting up a basket for tonight AUD red news and hope it banks some pips.
That's what I'm thinking, plus the baskets were 4-6 pairs, so unless you get 20-30 pip moves per pair in a short time frame it's probably safe to put a 50-60 TP. DD isn't too bad either with 4-6 pairs. AUD should be pretty strong tonight, gotta be quick though AUD moves tend to not trend but make short spikes.

I further tested the FxMadness Indi and did the following.

I opened the same basket in two demo accounts. I waited for demo 1 to go to -20 pips and then opened the same basket in demo 2 with a TP of 50 pips. Could do this the whole day and only once had a minus of -50 pips max. All other trades immediatly went to TP 50 pips..

In this way I wanted to avoid big DD incase of a sudden drop.. Anyways,, just testing Stuff Was fun

You can do this in a single chart. Enable Virtual Basket and set the trigger to -20 with TP as 50.

Do you think then that perhaps having a AUD filtered and unfiltered basket would be a better idea, that way we can try to catch max pips in a shorter time period?

I'm going to run a filtered basket and open it manually. AUD wont have much effect if any on other pairs so unfiltered would be a gamble.

First day of testing the FXM indie with weekly EQB settings is going well. I hope this will really blow up through the week.

It seems to me that the opening hour is of immense importance, the same tpl, open to London has a completely different value in my broker

hi bmcgowra,
sorry but could i ask, in the situation above, did both your demo account 1 and 2 reach the 50 pip TP or only demo 2? If your demo 1 did not reach 50 pip what happen to the demo 1?

Thanks!

I'm using a combination of the CCFp + Strength settings, also with EQB filters using TF and FF settings. Just playing with the various combos and variations available. I wouldn't trade this live as there's still lots of testing to do to find the most consistent variations.

Another bug:

There are 7 EURNZD signals in total across all my baskets, and 4 of them are SELL and 3 is BUY. The EA should have placed (4 - 3 = 1) SELL but it actually placed 7 BUY orders.

My settings:
Allow Opposite trades on List = TRUE
Combine Lots of Duplicate Trades = TRUE

It seems like these settings contradict each other. The last option combines trades of the same instrument, but I don't think it looks at the ORDER TYPE (buy/sell). That means the setting "Allow Opposite trades on List" means nothing if user selects "Combine Lots of Duplicate Trades" to be TRUE, am I correct?

You need to set LotSizing to LotsPerBalance. You have it at Fixed and that tells the EA to use 0.01 as you have it in the Lot Size Input.

Please check your LotSizing. OR let me know if you are having the an issue. This feature as been tested with 0.01/10000, 0.01/50000, 0.01/100000 and has been found to work.

According to your Example and settings your resultant basket should of been this:
BUY 1 EURNZD 0.03 lots
SELL 1 EURNZD 0.04 lots

Since you got all of the pairs individually that means that the EA did not Combine the lotsizes. I will look into that.

FYI:
This is the logic that occurs
The EA calls the GetPairs() Function right before a real basket is about to be open.
In the GetPairs() function the EA looks for your requirement "Allow Opposite trades on List" and if true, ensures that if there are any pairs of same name but of opposite operation that they are allowed to remain on the list.

After GetPairs() is finished the EA loops thru the resulting List to start to open each trade. During this loop the EA then looks for your last requirement "Combine Lots of Duplicate Trades" and if true goes about looking at the list for trades of same name and same directions. If it finds these same name/direction it adds up the number of times this happens. Then it multiplies this number of times with the lotsize. The EA then continues and does the same check/function for each trade.

In your case it did not combine the lotsizes... so we need to re-evaluate why it did not do it.

BTW, I think I figured out the pip count issue when you Combine Lotsizes. I am just waiting for a beta testers to confirm it and I will release the version.
That way you do not have to adjust your pipcount. IT will be the same as if you did not Combine your lotsizes
