First day of testing the FXM indie with weekly EQB settings is going well. I hope this will really blow up through the week. {image}
Could you show me where I can find the FXM indie please? Also the EQB weekly is the same as the weekly setting on the original CCFp weekly ?
Thanks

Beta 27 and updated v37.7.7

http://xm7.info/ea/ccfp_weekly/

1. Corrected code to Combine Lotsizes properly
2. Corrected PipCount code to count the number of pips properly when Combining Lotsizes
3. Verified that LotsPerBalance is calculated correctly

All of these have been tested and found to work. Pls upgrade to these versions. (just copy 37.7.7 over if you are using it).

Since the PipCount is corrected you do not need to adjust your TP or SL in pips when combining lotsizes.

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...
Please test Beta 27 with the settings you demonstrated
Let me know if you still have any questions

{quote} 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...
Hi Xmess7,

Just tried the monthly basket approach with verson 37.7.7, the EA fails opening trades fro all baskets. Here is a screenshot.

Hi jess that is true i saw it on on UsdJpy Daily /Weekly happening too as with Post 9,999
I think you are really putting your soul into this and eventually it is going to be perfected
I am not confused by the mixture of words being used and the way it should be rightly intended
but I think most of the issues could be solved by giving the user the option one needs to choose
his/her transactions and the they want.
More choices of course means more Rows, but more freedom to choose preferences_

When it comes to "Allow Opposite" what happens in some systems and Dashboards is that the Ea
(1) if 2 Pairs show in the List, and both have the Opposite Signals the Ea won't take that trade
this way it is not so right with Ccfp as the Strenght of Ccfp will not be entirely considered_
(2) The case of the Option that is currently being used now by the EA >< 2 Buy/1 Sell = EA Takes the 1 Buy
(3) There Could be an Option that Sets a Rank or a Priority to Pairs of a certain Tframe W1 or D1 or Mthly
for example if i have 2 weekly and both have EURUSD 1 BUY 1 SELL, i could opt to choose
which one to consider based on the Pair being above or below the 200Ma or based using the Bbsqueeze or ATR/ADR(20) lookback....
The user will have these options and that should solve part of the issues as will be the user responsibility
to opt for what he prefers_

About the Duplicate Trades, or "Combined Lots of Duplicate Trades" there could also be other options
to make everyone happy ...as per pic
I am just trying to adopt and translate into Auto what i normally do in Manual Ccfp, though i am aware
that manual and auto are totally different matters _

Great work!

I just don't know why anyone would want to have individual trades when they can be grouped. For example, when you allow duplicates and also have grouping of trades ON, this is what you get. The two orders essentially cancel each other out so its a waste of an order.

Its just a waste of money and spread and takes up valuable order limit space (my broker's order limit is 200), not to mention that each order you place you will need margin so having more orders = more margin requirement = faster margin call if you reach that threshold.

Anyhow thanks for the great work!

I don't think it works like that. Margin and commission are calculated per lot size not orders. So 2 orders with 0.01 lot size will have the same margin and commission as 1 order with 0.02 lot size. Spread is still the same as either way you open 2 lots.

Edit: just re-read and I see what you mean now.

Dave:
I think the limit on the number of orders is what really helps folks that use the Combinte Lotsize inputs.
You are correct, the use of margin, commission, spread are all essentially the same whether you have several duplicate trades of same size and name or just one that equals the trade size and name.

Hi jess ... i am aware that manual and auto are totally different matters _ {image} {image}
Lol Jens:

Many times I go thru the same scenario you just went thru, cause the requester does not do this LOL. So I pick the one with the least amount of choices and that gets the essential idea across.

BTW if I did have my soul into this I would of been done many posts ago. I think I would of been done around post 300. LOL unfortunately Life does not allow me to fully emerge myself into this.

So lets answer some of your points, JUst for fun

(1) if 2 Pairs show in the List, and both have the Opposite Signals the Ea won't take that trade
this way it is not so right with Ccfp as the Strenght of Ccfp will not be entirely considered_
- Well then we just have to let the user decide that for themselves NO?


(2) The case of the Option that is currently being used now by the EA >< 2 Buy/1 Sell = EA Takes the 1 Buy
- That's correct. Remember the basic idea the requester specified (BTW I haven't seen him around for a long time now LOL) only pointed to ELIMINATE OPPOSITE TRADES. So with that in mind the yes that is what the current option DOES.

(3) There Could be an Option that Sets a Rank or a Priority to Pairs of a certain Tframe W1 or D1 or Mthly
- Interesting Option. That would involve extending the multi-dimensional array the EA currently uses to hold the list of pairs with their directions. I would need to add to each a spot where I place what TF is used. I would first need to capture the TF from the list itself, Thank goodness the lists have the TF label at the top! LOL.


As for the Inputs you suggest, THAT IS VERY CONFUSING lol. So in order to have FREEDOM of choices we need CONFUSION? LOL Just joking.
But first things first, there is still one more feature I want to add before ending this effort. It's the Descrete addition of pairs thingy. I need to figure out how to incorporate it into the EA without messing it up. LOL

PEace and keep them idea coming, who knows we may just create a whole new EA... OR an EA that is AWARE OF ITSELF LOL

{quote} You can do this in a single chart. Enable Virtual Basket and set the trigger to -20 with TP as 50.
Yes, I could have. But I wanted to avoid sudden spikes of DD. So if it moves to -50 within minutes I wouldnt have entered at -20. IT all depends on how volatile the basket is.

I am using EA Beta 22 and noticed a bug related to virtual baskets. Not sure if it has been fixed in the recent builds, so here goes:

I use CCFp-Diffv2.0 in W1, TF. I had a virtual basket with 12 pairs, waiting to reach my upper trigger level of 30 pips, to go live. Now after the virtual basket was opened, CCFp got refreshed, reducing the 12 pairs it showed to 6 pairs. But virtual basket continued to count the 12 pairs, which is the correct way. And when it hit the upper trigger value of 30 pips, it opened a real basket. But what happened was it only opened the 6 pairs CCFp was showing, instead of the 12 pairs that virtual basket was tracking.

I am not even sure what the right approach should be when CCFp gets refreshed while a virtual basket is open. Please let me know how to proceed.

{quote} Hi Jared glad i could help, open the ea and in the input settings about 7 settings down it says day of month to open, as tuesday is the first of the month change it from monday untill tuesday the rest is all sett up and it should open the baskets at 00.10 gmt which is 1.10 am in the uk. WORD OF WARNING- these baskets can go into 10,000 pips draw down before they turn around the average is about 4,750 pips so you need 10,000 cents which is 100 dollars minimum. with 2800 you will probably get a margin call, you might not if your really really...
OK, made one change to it to try and combat so many trades and the smaller $ in the cent account, I put the filter on around the 3 colour day/w/5hr filter/..,in the end it took about 90 trades...so be good to compare on a regular basis the updates. So far, its flucuated from a max 1400 pip gain and a 1200 pip loss....

Do we need to do anything to ensure it does not turn off on friday night? when do we actually suggest cashing in if we are in a profit, at the exact months end or whenever your comfortable with a win do you think?

Dears Masters, How do I setup for 0.01 lots? The image attached show my ccfp. My acount is 10k I put 0.01/10000 but opened the basket with 0.10 lots again (same previous week). Thank you Sirs! {image}
Immediately experienced users can see by your 10 or 12 posts that you do not know about the "DROP DOWN" menu inside the EA

It is not very obvious, so you can be excused, Metatrader is so crap...

Good Luck

This is for others that shall pass this way soon...
