Today for the first time since I'm trading them, my Tokyo and London setups were stopped at SL (still using old FXM_Diff3). Best regards, Bubincka {image} {image}
Hi , Buba , in my opinion your 100pips SL is too tight to afford handling 6 pairs , and especially pairs like EURCAD EURAUD and your
2 pairs which involves GBP ...all 4 pairs combined can "range" 500 pips during the day ... while a pair like EURGBP usually stays in
order of 50 pips move during a trading day ... ADR = Average Daily Range ..... . Unless your are using a VB ( Virtual Basket ) , this loss can happen any time again and again ... a VB is not a warranty either.
Look first at the pairs suggested by the indicator ( study their behavior ) then set your SL accordingly in the EA which is managing the trades . Or just drop an insane SL1500 TP 1500 in your EA ...( Like I do) then , you modify later after looking at
each pair chart H4 or D1 ( depending your trading style ) .... ( this is what i WILL do when going Live ) . In your 1st basket with "those" 6 pairs in a flash very tight stop would have been 300 pips ...same for TP ... a pip lock trigger @ 150 with 80% ..and trailing 10 pips ...and I am done for this basket .... . Your London Basket : SL200 / TP200 ...with a pip lock trigger @100 with 80%...and trailing 10 pips .... your still have time to play NY Open ...and get your equity back ... take care ....

Remember : CcFP ...is a tool ...not a money machine (yet) .... we are all digging here.

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...
Not a bug. it's just the way the logic of the EA is setup.
Currently Right before a real basket is opened the EA will re-examine the list.
So the vBasket is basically just a trigger with the initial list that was seen.

Again, this is a condition that the original requester did not look into.
You see the vBasket will not ever know what the list is right before the real basket is opened. It only knows the list that was there when the open hour happened.
So here is my questions:
1. DO you want the real basket to be open with the vBasket pairs that were detected at the open hour (even though the current list at that hour is different)?
2. Or do you want the real basket to be open with pairs that are more current, as it does it now?
Our AWESOME IMAGINATION is the true holy grail!

Hi xmess7.

I think you can place an option for this too.

I was thinking about this too but didn't have time to test it when use.current is true. Is it possible to retain the pairs that was opened with the VB and enter those exact pairs when the VB is hit? That way past data is relevant for when determining an optimum VB level as the pip level after will remain the same(same opened pairs). Maybe create another variable in the EA to toggle this on or off?

That's a tough one. What EA does now is logically the correct thing to do. Still I think it will be great if we have on option to toggle that, you know for testing.

And btw, what is your opinion on having an option to choose a pip based value instead of LockingPercentLevel? A value like say 50 pips will bring you closer to a ProfitLock when it is high (like 500 pips) and at the same time offer some room for a pull back when ProfitLock is low (like 100 pips).

Still trying to get the hang of the orange news basket, EUR almost made it but just wasn't strong enough. Glad I had just a 70 SL. Also glad I had a 200 SL and TP for AUD news because it was a pretty wild swing. Results for news baskets so far today, will be running one for USD at 14:00 GMT.

Mine are as well, I've got five trade explorers up if you want to check the status. I have a 12 basket monthly and a 9 basket monthly that cuts out level 2. I opened baskets at GMT 07:00 and from the charts it looks like most everything is in a trend pullback, so it still looks safe long term in my opinion.

Anyway, august it's not the best month for trade...

Bubincka,
I was also troubled by the tokyo open. I opened 1 basket and when it reach -40 pip i opened the second basket. the dd was 200+ pips. I held on till after aud red news and managed to tp my 2nd basket. I just closed my 1st basket..13 hours after opening. i prob should set my SL starting today. Not a good practice to go without SL. And horrible R:R i know..

Does anyone know why I would be getting this error message and what it means? I'm trying to open some baskets manually and the EA won't open any trades and this is the error message I keep get in the experts tab.
