Update on vBasket operation (using beta 44)
It turns out that when the FXMadness indicators are used the EA records empty strings for those baskets that have no suggested pairs.
So when virtual basket was calculating profit per pair, those empty strings were somehow associated to prices. Sine the empty string had no originating price the calculation of profit yielded HUGE pips. This values were added to the other profits (which were normal) and thus you had this HUGE number of PIPS.
The correction to this bug was made and is already in beta 44.
There is still one minor thing that needs to be dealit with. If you set vBasket Hours (hours that vBasket is allowed to run open) the EA , when you attempt to change inputs, that will reset the vBasket to 0. So as long as you do not change your inputs the vBasket will not be reset and work correctly.
For the mean time you can do just that, set your vBasket hours and once the virtual basket opens do not touch it. OR You can set the vBasket hours to 0. This will allow you to make changes after the virtual basket is open without being concerned that it will be reset.
In addition if you are not using vBasketHours the EA will close ANY virtual basket that are still open at the end of GMT day (23:59 GMT), so that too will control the length of time that a vBasket is opened.
The root cause is known and in the next update this will be working properly.
