PIF's setting really loving today's GBP news. If only all days could be like this. {image}
for me baskets won on eurgbp, gbpchf, gbpjpy, gbpnzd, gbpusd

and lost on gbpaud, gbpcad

but seems to me indi is good when there is volatility no matter the news / direction

well created baskets should lean you half long half short each currency, so news is not make or break ... it is volatility that we need to make money

the basket is a natural hedge ... with a notable edge

the indi spits out good signals, our job is to weigh them and combine them smartly ... we know monthly signals are better, daily are okay ... h4 and lower not so reliable

i am still learning all this, testing and tweaking about a dozen different basket sets, i aim to have 3 basket sets one monthly one weekly one daily as shown above each left to run the whole day ... usually two of them win nicely

Thanks claudia1
I am using these settings 1 hour after London opening and seems to be great.
I have eliminated all the NZD pairs from the indicator.
100 Pips in 50 minutes.
I will put a bigger manual lock next time.
But for me, over 30 pips per session is a good day.

Today green again for many setups after the last two terrible days.
TO H4 Strength was a loss one more time while it was a winner at LO, confirming Embry1 observations, now let's see 12:02 next run.
It seems that in general for these daily setups Strength based indications are more effective than ones based on CCFp selector-
But again to confirm this much more data is needed, because it can be bound to present market conditions.

Another good day for PIF set ups. I have one basket to run from TO to LC and another from TO to LC and both are doing well. It hasn't always been this good but this setting is looking promising. FYI I did make some minor changes by increasing the trade levels from L2 to L3 in the W1 and D1 baskets which seems to be helping.

My H4 basket continues to shine over and over again, a few more weeks of testing and if it stays this consistent I'll take it over to my live account.

I've also been gathering data between TO and LO and it seems looking back that LO is more consistent and profitable overall. TO does have it good days, but there have been more SL's hit and baskets closing in a DD than a profit. I'm going to look back more closely over the weekend and make some decisions about cutting TO. If I do cut out TO it would be good to find another suitable time/session during the day that I could trade these baskets so I can still keep trading 2 sessions per day.

Looks like the winner this week will be manual trading followed by FXM EQB and Strength H4 timed. I will post the settings for each basket once the 12:02 baskets close. 10-20% a week with automated trading is very possible and we are getting closer and closer. I've been working hard to get these settings right and open time right. Even if the 11:02 and 12:02 baskets hit SL we will come out green today because my TP is higher than SL for each basket and all LO baskets hit the TP without profit locking. However, I did beat my automated baskets with my manual trading, but I think as a trader you should be able to do that. Automated trading is a convenience and you can be much more precise manually. It was still a very close race. Consistency wise, my weekly basket has performed very well but I run no TP and no SL so it could go very wrong. Will continue testing that as well but it's not my main focus. Here is the overall results so far. The unrealized is the 11:02 and 12:02 baskets.

Nicely done man, it seems you had a good week.

With your daily testing have you come to find certain times besides LO throughout the day that are also good times to open?

I also don't mind the manual approach as I trade manually anyway with my other day trading strategy I use, so if a little manual intervention will get a better result I'm all for it.

Right now the question is 07:00 and 11:00 or 08:00 and 12:00. Today it seems like the 11:00 and 12:00 caught the peak of the trend so they are in some DD right now. It also is huge to have appropriate TP, SL, and profit lock for consistent results.

EDIT: Having some SLs hit from the 11:02 baskets. Really caught the bad end of this trend. Will look and see what happens at US stock market open at 13:30 to see if the trend continues. On a day like this I wonder if it would be better to open baskets around the US stock market open.

Don't know what happened but my H4 12:02 started and almost immediately closed. I use la st v37.8 beta 4 that seems to work very well, so it's possible that it read a GV still storing a previous max pips beyond TP so deceiving the EA.

Embry1, do you reset the EA at each run for this recurring H4 setup ?

Best regards,

Yes I completely remove the EA and reattach it to make sure that it opens flawlessly. It's a lot more work but I used to have problems with the EA not opening and that seems to help.

What I normally do is reset the EA after every session, an then refresh it (open properties and then close it) and this seems to work well for me without having any misfires.

Thank you Embry1, until we'll have a stable bug-free release this is the way to go.

I'll give that a shot, that'll save a little time out of my day.
