{quote} I know you do not use bb. I was just giving an example. Users don't realize that you can't use any indicator without knowing how many signals you will get. Then they complain cause there are no signals. So in order to save fustration I just want to know what the indi's provide. Do they provide alot of signals or rare signals. This way I can put the function to work inthe right place. Range Hours or Single or Separate hours.. etc
Signal is not limited. Only when use calculation fxm. Activated . Usually offers a pair of other currencies.

{quote} If the indicator lag is in the signal display and offer a currency pair. And it will disappear after a few minutes or a few minutes. Listed in the list. What needs to be done for this problem, especially in the mtf diffv2.
What do you want to do?
Do you want to remove the pair from the open trades?

The EA doesn't take any indicator lag into account. If you have set the EA to monitor the indicator list continuously (range hours, etc) then the EA will only execute what you told it to do. For example if you tell the EA to monitor for new pairs and add them, then that is what it will do. Or if you set the EA to flip existing trade cause the trade on the list flipped then that is what it will do.

The EA's basic operation is fairly straightforward. If you want to deal with lag then you have to get with the developer of the indicator and solve it at that level.

Here is another example of what I mean: Say I allow the CandleColor Filter ok? A user set it to true and then set one OPenHour for each day. There is a very good chance that they will not get any trades, maybe even none... Cause each time that one hour comes the EA will look at the filter and if the filter has no signal then there is no trade. Say you picked 3 3TFs, D1,W1,MN1. There is a chance that those will not match for many days. And since the EA is only looking at Onetime during the day then that makes it more difficult to hit the signals...
Your words do not apply in the medium and short term. Because it works for me or us on a daily basis. H1 h4 is important and it checks every time and the filter is good and maybe m30. Even .
But for a long time, yes, you're right. A lower signal is displayed.
We have a lower number of signals in the lower tp.
I asked heikin ashi because of this suggestion because it is more accurate and better than normal candle. And shows almost the direction.

Can be tested in the next week. And it's not a problem at all, because this option is completely optional and we can disable it and work like before.

This is a question I asked from the beginning and wrote what I mean is what works?
No explanation for this alternative.
And is unknown. Maybe I did not find.
In general, when the scenario is activated, the scenario changes and the basket's offers change completely.
If you or anyone understands exactly what he does and what to calculate, be sure to inform us as well.

In the next version, the clock should be selected separately.
Range hours
And
Single
Separated and separated. This will set everyone as comfortable as possible.

You can already do that.

Singe hour: HH:mm
Separate Hours: HH1:mm,HH2:mm,HH3:mm... etc as many as you need for the day
Range hours: HH1:mm-HH2:mm

That;s is how you can tell the EA what hours to use.

Quick question on the Flip Trade option. If it closes a trade and opens an opposite trade will that affect the pip count of the basket? I know in older versions if you cancel a trade it would immediately affect the pip count of the entire basket. Like if the basket was at 100 pips and the trade you close is -20 pips then the basket would then show 120 pips which is the correct real time number but for testing purposes that would skew the data. Just curious, not a big deal if that is the case. I'm more interested in the option to open trades if the signals change.

Embry do you think the addition of this feature will help your High Impact News strategy? It will allow you to use the Open Basket button to enter slightly early and then if the indicator adds a pair to the list it will automatically be added now..........and if the movement reverses on us and whips then the EA will close out those trades if the indicator can pick them up fast enough. It seems like this addition will help your HIN strategy. What are your thoughts on this?

I think it has potential to improve any basket for sure, I'm going to do as much testing as I can with it next week. Definitely looking forward to it I think it will yield fantastic results.

That pip count issue was solved some time ago. Also the pipcount is now based on the lotsizes.. so if a number of lots is summed up or combined the pipcount will change according to what the sizes are.

What happens is this. Every second the EA checks if there are open trades.
If there are open trades then it goes into the monitoring phase. Ok? In that phase you do all this pipcount, ProfitLock detection, is it time to close, all that stuff ok.

The very first think the EA does in this phase is to count the number of pips from the OPENED positions and then it continues to do the rest of the monitoring stuff.

So if later on when the EA does another sweep of the Pairs list and sees that it has to flip a trade in the basket, it will create the flip and do some other stuff. When its done with that other stuff it loops again and as I mention above the first thing it does is get the pipcount of open trades.
By this time the flip was already done so in that count the appropriate pips will be recorded. Now, hehehe of course the pipcount will be affected cause you just closed a trade and opened a new one that is basically at 0 pips. So that will CHANGE the pipcount from what it was before the flip. So is that the your concern?

Going to be funny.

Just giving two examples from all i see can go wrong.

You can not work with a fixed TP/SL because using XM7 filters you have no idea how many pairs will be opened at any given time.

What if there are 15 pairs suggested 5 started trading, go reverse, are 10 pips away from profit lock and another 5 pairs are opened with 3 pips spread each.
You will hit profit lock !

So yeah that's what I was referring to, so either way if a trade is closed it will change the pipcount but it looks like that's intended which is fine. I'll do some testing with it and maybe switch from a basket TP and SL to individual trade TP and SL. Really excited to see what these new features will do for the results!

Offset from current bar.
Seconds from current bar open before looking at it.
Btw. "Timeout in seconds to wait all new" is the max time the indicator waits for 28 new bars after the above expired.

Does anyone know of an EA or a tool on FF that lets you choose the pairs in your baskets and lets you open and close the basket manually? I need it to treat the pairs as a basket and follow up/down pips; nothing fancy or hard, just a simple tool.

I am not trying to find a replacement for Xmass7 EA as it is my only EA for trading. I need this new tool to run some experiments on the pairs of my choice. As I understand the Xmass7 EA, it choose pairs based on its own selection rules and what you specify (TT, TF,....).
Everything in the universe is mathematical including fear and greed.
