{quote} Years ago when i started trading baskets and wrote the different basket creators it was an eyeopener for me to see that technicals also applied to a basket of trades as long as you use the right basket selection criteria. I use a totally different one than ccfp but the idea stays the same.
Yes... I would have never thought that technical analysis is able to working on baskets as well...in that nice manner!

That should not be a surprised, as world economies are connected hence world currencies are all connected.

I like to think of the world economies (and currencies) like a flexable chemical ball, but not a nice and symmetrical one in the picture. Some arms are longer, some arms are shorter, it is not a perfect shpere. Pressures are exerted on this ball (war, droughts, new oil findings....) which deforms its shape. Since all currencies are connected and technical analysis works on one, it will work on a selected basket as well as a baskets that contains all the pairs. But a basket with all currencies gives a different kind of information than a smaller selected basket.

Ive been through every post... so the first zip file contains also ccfp_diff.set, where do i have to put this file ? There is also fxcm_diff3 file that is not in indicators map, is this also relevant(see picture)?

I've installed from zip update file the templates, indicators and experts. From the first zipfile i've installed sdsmain file in libraries. The fxm writer file in post 1 who is updated on 6 september must replace the one in zipfile?

Sorry for al those questions but i want to be sure ive installed everything correctly

First of all, you cannot use Windows explorer to tranfer files into your mt4 program. You have to do it from your mt4 program. So you need to run mt4 and go to files --> open data folder and then transfer you files into the appropriate folder (indicator, experts, scripts....).

All *.set files go into the "presets" folder. So, simply go to files --> open data folder -->presets forlder and put the *.set file there. For the future reference, any file with the *.set extension goes into "presets" folder.

The forcedloadhistoricaldate goes into scripts folder because it is a script file.

Well said. I have been thinking about this also, and we have all seen traders trading a single pair but keeping an eye on a negatively or positively correlated pair for confirmation of their activity. I think this works because it takes the average price action across the pairs in the basket. Since we know that many levels are frequently respected across individual currency pairs the chances of the levels being respected across a basket that ultimately has a level of correlation most of the time might increase ?

Just a thought.

FxMadness I encountered something strange with the FXM indicator. I checked my TO baskets to see if they opened on time, and I saw that the indicator was not showing at all, and as the indicator was not showing anything the EA did not open any trades. You can see in the image below.

So I opened the indicator settings and closed it again so the indie would refresh itself and once it did it then showed the suggestions as normal. What could be doing this?

HI problems solved, it was forceloahistorycaldate that was the problem. I've put it in script folder now.
For other members who has same issue. Download the first zipfile ( from that zip you need sdsmain.ddl put in libraries, you can also use ccfp_diff3.set, put that file in presets. There is also fxmfibo indicator place that file in indicators of your mt4.

From the zipupdate file you use all the files exept fxwriter that is in indicator map (i think you need the fx writer that is updates on 6 september correct me here if i am wrong)

Open your mt4. double click forceaload history (look in your terminal "experts if it is loaded), then follow the steps in post 1.

No there was no template. My charts were just as they were, untouched, I just opened the platform to check up and noticed how the indicator had gone blank. Only after i refreshed it did it display correctly again.

I am a little confused here, maybe you can clarify. If the EA is taking order from the Fib, why all the other indicators? Or have you modified the EA so it would look at all of them including the Fib?

I have been testing this system and would like to say thanks to FXmadness for wonderful efforts.

Thanks

The indicators are there to confirm the market direction. Looking at the chart, you see a white arrow. It pointed down, so to confirm that this is not a retracement but a reversal, the indicators at the bottom all changed to red. The 1st bottom indicator went below the line to confirm there is strong momentum to the downside, the 2nd bottom indicator changed to red, and its bars were getting shorter. The 3rd bottom indicator also changed to red, the red bars were getting shorter before it went below the line. These all confirm that its a reversal and not a retracement. Hope you understand.
Let me add this. Looking at the chart, you will see that the basket price has been moving within a range, up and down, so when the breakout to the downside happened, the indicator on my chart will confirms to me that this is not a fake breakout, but a proper breakout.
I have not modified any of the indicators FxMadness posted. I just added my indicators to his TTM template.

So, basically it is just for your peace of mind otherwise the EA still will execute orders coming from the Fib. That's what I thought too, but maybe you can trade manually too using the same setup.

also, perhaps a little bug, when I try click on the BE button/'allow robot to automate BE' button, it just ticks/unticks the 'profit 2' break button,
without creating a BE line on the chart.

hmm, i kept all settings the same except for changing the indi Trade Level from 2 - 1.

with 12 pairs in the basket it worked fine again (unless there was something else causing it?)

is there a minimum # of pairs per basket?

Mathematically you can have a basket with two pairs, however, I have heard that five is a good number.

The BE line will only be placed on the chart when TTM is trading and the BE criteria are matched.

thanks for the reply guys, i see.

about the # of pairs in the basket, the offline chart works fine for me with more than 9 pairs but with 8 or less it is stuck at 100.0 and doesn't display any bars. .
