{quote} Refresh offset = The offset in seconds after the bar (of the chart you loaded FXM on (EURSEK would be a bad idea here)) closed before FXM starts counting down to the "Timeout in seconds before all new". The current (FXM loaded chart symbol) bar closes now if you use current or bar somewhere in your settings it might be useful to wait some time for the first ticks to establish a "current bar direction". FXM tries to make sure that on all 28 pairs there are "new bars" when the above offset expires. The timeout in seconds is the time FXM waits...
I see the default timeout in secs is 120, would it be better to set it to perhaps 60 to reduce the timeout? I have noticed a longer lag/delay with the new FXM indie when it refreshes, calculates and displays the new suggestions, it actually freezes the chart/EA momentarily until its finished with the calculation.

{quote} So the reason behind that is because I have my FxM set to refresh every 5 minutes so if I have it set at 05 or 10 it risks not opening the basket because there's a few second lag to calculate new signals. 00:10 is the best time in my opinion because you have 1 5 minute candle for trend and 1 candle for a possible small pullback, so 09 is the closest I can get.
I think this is a very good idea what you've done. I have all my TO and LO baskets set to open :10 and my FXM indies also refresh every M5, so perhaps this could a reason why the baskets are not firing cos when the indie refreshes it freezes the chart/EA and in that same time the EA is supposed to open the basket but can't cos of the indie refresh. I'm going to make the change as well and see how it goes tonight, cheers for that.

Oh yeah if you have it set to M5 and are opening on 5 minute intervals, that's your problem lol. I had your problem, then I started doing this and it fixed it immediately. I still have one or two that don't fire, that could be the EA but it's much better now.

That is because it switches from a 1 second timer to a 100 ms (1/10) second time to check if all 28 pairs bars have been updated.
It can be a bit heavy when you open a 6x6 basket trading matrix (pun intended) but who does that really ?

The very "SAME" basket (locked from the previous post) was ran again at the time when the indicator (on the offline chart) was saying the condition was right. I guess one could collect 50 pips all day long if one is a little familiar with chart analysis. So far I have been trading in one direction. Next, I will try to trade in the opposite direction when the offline chart indicator tells me there is a retraction coming, sort of like riding the roller coaster "up" and "down." All of this is possible thanks to FXMadness for providing the offline writer.

The refreshed basket from the previous post was ran at the very same time of the locked one. Again 50 pips, very fast.

What exactly is the offline chart indicator and how are you using that with the basket? I'm guessing that making use of this means manual trading and not on auto?

This offline chart writer is developed and provided by FXMadness. As far as I know, it does mean manual trading unless someone comes up with an EA that reads from the offline chart, analyzes it and acts when the conditions are right.

It is basically a chart of your (one) basket values. If you have multiple baskets in one page, like I do (only in demo, in real live account why would you have more than one basket), you have to choose the basket that best represent all of them. Of course when it is used on one basket its information is much more accurate.

Ok and how would you best utilize the offline chart writer to make trading decisions of when to open the basket manually. Which TF do you open the offline chart and which pair? I'm familiar with offline charts from trading renko but then I was using offline chart EURUSD M2, do I load on the same chart?

My previous baskets were in the 1H timeframes and all closed with profit. This time around, I wanted to test 30 min timeframe. This one too, closed with profit.

1. "When to open a basket" is very personal and entirely depends on your favorite indicator that you will apply to the offline chart. My favorite indicator is "Ichimoku Kinko Hyo." It has served me well in the past.

2. I have just started to test different timeframes (1H, 30 min...). I would like to run it many times on different timeframes before analysing the data to choose a timeframe that is the best (faster 50 pips, lower DD...). Since I don't want to have any trades open overnight, I like short timeframes so I can close my tardes before bedtime.

3. You do not apply the offline writer to a pair, you apply it to your whole basket. You just treat the offline chart as a regular chart and employ your favorite indicator. I choose my entry based on the experience I have with IKH, the exit is automated at 50 pips.

{quote} Same settings totally different result, plus my Tokio basket said a minus figre untill i reset it, and found out it had hit TP, weird ! is this a fault with beta 40? is anyone else getting this ? {image} {image}
Hi Montego , for the same reason as you mentioned above , plus to monitor basket real money profit , I am using an add-on indi
on the same chart where I have current baskets running . You set it by Magic number , select corner , offset ...so you have a kind
of double check to verify if everything is running smoothly . It also monitor all pairs and their direction /profit ..so , you may spot
which pair is pushing basket profit downward ... so , you can check this "red" pair chart and look for a reversal with the Indi of your
preference. Unfortunately it does not show profit/dd in term of pips value , although there is a column for this where values are "0"
for sure because this Indi created by >Patrick White in 2011 ( thanks) does not ´catch´ pair suffixes ...

Just going through the trades from 29th, 813 FXMEQB, as below #1, I believe an excellent result, thanks FXMadness.
The pips were lower than the FerruFx indis #2 below, but the maximum RR is far better in #1.
I would be very happy with either live.
When this continues it is all a matter of personal choice - chase the pips or the RR or maybe both?

Great results PIF, I am testing a modified version of your FIFO settings using the EQB filter applied as well, and although the pip count is less, I would choose it over the other any day. Firstly the DD is less, there's less pairs so less exposure, and even though the pip count is less its still making hundreds of pips. Personally anything over 100 pips is awesome for me, and trading live I would just increase the lot size and still make enough $.
