Guys I have a quick unrelated question about brokers. Who do you know is a good true STP/ECN broker that you can recommend? I recently found out that my current broker is a dealing desk (MM) broker and I want to change to an STP/ECN account. Any suggestions? Thanks.
I am using ICMarket and Darwinex. So far both are good to me with no issue. With ICMarket for about 4years+ and Darwinex just started 3months ago only.

UPDATES. v37.8 and v37.7.8 betas

I updated both v37.8 (for those that are using it with success) and also v37.7.8

While forward testing v37.8 (no issues here, profit lock closed basket, flips were registered instantly. etc etc). I noticed that when a flip is made
that the EA did not pickup the TP and SL for individual trades. Consequently the EA would either set the TP and SL of the individual trade to 0 or since the new trade was flipped an error would be generated since the EA was trying to use the same individual TP and SL.

These updates correct that situation.

Hi Xmess7,

this morning I give v37.8_beta_2 a try and it mostly worked. Nevertheless I noticed some weird things like mismatch between real number of opened pairs for one instance of the EA on a chart, i.e. display showed 9, while trades were many more.

One major problem was that the EA tagged only some trades with TradeComment value and when it hit TP only tagged trades were closed by the EA !
I saw this issue and closed the other left behind trades manually.

Another thing I noticed is that I have a setup that should open trades at discrete times: 00:02,08:02,12:02...
But when I removed the previous EA and put on chart v37.8_beta_2 it opened trade before 08:02 GMT, so maybe there problems in discrete time open.

Best regards,
Bubincka

Here my demo account for Short Term CCFp + FXM + Xmess7 EA opened on 25 July.

https://www.myfxbook.com/portfolio/i...t-term/2250697

Please don't be fooled by (very) good results because there's no consistency in them, it's demo and the purpose is mainly to test settings and Xmess7'EA. Therefore sometimes EA didn't work and I closed all or some trades manually, other times it entered at the wrong time and so on and so forth.
I used a short term approach only, replicating Embry1 settings that I liked more, preferably TO & LO some of them based on a mix of CCFp, Strenght and CC and others on Strength only. Occasionally in this family of tests I run high impact news too.

Good result could come out of pure chance but I think the important point to get here is that this strategy has great potential since many traders across different paths are profitable and some of them are in real.

For my risk taste, considering there were holidays in between I need to collect some more data before going live, but all in all we received the confirmation that this strategy even if not 100% set & forget is worth to be followed, studied and further developed.

Thanks one more time to ForexPinBar, FerruFX, FxMadness, Xmess7 and by myself to Embry1 from whom I borrowed most of his ideas.

Best regards,
Bubincka

Weekly baskets are doing well. The GBP news was positive and gave the baskets a nice bump in pips.

1. Added under Daily Settings the input AllowTradingByDays.
You can now enter the days you want the EA to conduct trading when using the Daily Mode .
Just enter the days separated by commas. The Default has the list of all trading days.
If you leave it blank it will just default to all days.

2. Made a minor correction on Reset Button status

IMPORTANT NEWS:

Folks:
I just had a Teamviewer session with Mrdx (thank you sir). We tested v37.8 beta 3. We tested a couple of virtuakBasket and OpenReal basket scenarios.
Everything worked great. We used several FXMadness indicators on one chart and we also had on other charts the EA running with other baskets too.
However this is an issue that we found and this may be one reason some of your baskets or vBaskets do not open on time.

PLEASE NOTE CAREFULLY:
I recommend that you set your open times 5-10 minutes after the start of the FXMAdness refresh interval you have set in the indicator.
What is happening is that if you have many FXMadness indicators they all refresh at the end of the interval that you set.
While they refresh this causes a pause or delay on your MT4. This delay can affect the opening or closing of a basket as the EA tries to do this operation.

In our testing we clearly saw how the delay affects the EA even when you just change the inputs.

I will add logic to the EA that will alleviate this issue but in the mean time please set your Open/Close hours to 5-10 minutes at the start of the interval. That way if an indicator refresh is happening the EA will only try to open or close a basket UNTIL AFTER that refresh has happened.

Thnx
Jess

after much experimenting, i have concluded single basket trading is the safest and best. below are separate baskets, TF and FF, MA 3/5. TP was set at 40 pips per trade. both hit tp today. single basket trading has been the most consistent for me.

That is where the timeout timer kicks in.

When it is time to recalculate the suggestions fxm_diff will wait a maximum "timeout in seconds for new bars" for all 28 pair bars to close/open before starting to calculate. You can set this timeout smaller or even to zero.

Also when fxm_diff is in this process the global fxm_busy_[indicator id number] is set to 1.
When the new suggestions are ready this global is set to 0.

Not yet. We need to see the basic stuff work on the EA.
No ETA at the moment.... unless if by this weekend we start to see everyone's setup working.. then in that case I would give it a coouple more weekends to get it going.

Connected now. What I can see again is that in v37.8_beta_2 some trades are opened with the comment field left empty. When the EA eventually do its job TP/SL/TS leaves behind these trades as orphans and I must close them maually. I checked their Magic Number and it is correct. Maybe a bug fixed in next release ?

Then I read your posts on FXM_Diff3 timeout setting and I adjusted it accordingly, it cpould be this generated some of the issues.

EDIT: i meant longer than 31 not 13 characters

UPDATE versions v37.8 and v37.7.8 betas

http://xm7.info/ea/ccfp_weekly/beta_...7.8_beta_4.ex4

http://xm7.info/ea/ccfp_weekly/beta_...8_beta_50..ex4

Issues fixed:
No Comments in trade field
Cannot close trades
trade button does not show close or doesn't work

Reason for issue:
The trades comments generated by the EA were in some cases longer than 31 letters. This was due to the comments input being long and in addition adding other info to it.

The EA now will truncate the string to the required length before it is sent to the trade.

This is one of those hidden bugs that is also in the previous versions. For those versions as long as you have short trade comments in the input you will be ok.
Versions before 3.7.8 do not add that much text to the comments field but just in case make sure that your comments at the inputs are as short as you can make them.

Please test and see if these issues are corrected.

Thnx
Jess
