This weekly setup is working out nicely. Little bit of a drawdown this week but I opened on Monday morning. Last week this basket had a DD of 500 pips witha 4000 pip max gain. Starting to look like my weekly TE may be the first one to gain 100% at this rate.

I wish all the best and I believe you deserve it for the creativity, positive attitude and effort you put in this project. But I am sure that more important than doubling an account is to make it grow consistently over time. Last week I was at more than +140% on my short term daily account and today, without having changed anything I'm at +2%.

Best regards,

For me when it comes down to weekly and daily baskets, it always been about finding a consistent setting that just works. I can't even count how many settings I've tested for weekly and daily baskets, and every week I think of new ones and cut out the losers and keep on testing. There are literally hundreds of different combinations that you can run the CCFp, and what was a winner last week might be a loser this week, so finding a set up that is consistent overall is the goal. There is no 100% strategy or holy grail out there, but with testing and patience I do believe there is a set up that can consistently make you money.

One thing I can say after 5 months of testing all kinds of set ups is that most times its the simple baskets that get the results. Running charts with 8+ baskets doesn't mean it will be a winner and make you 1000's of pips. If a basket can consistently make me 500-1000 pips a week I'll be very satisfied with that, with 500+ pips a week you can make a good living form that.

I'll be making some changes to simplify my sets ups and K.I.S.S. I've found that complicating and changing to much isn't always the best move. I still think that the original basket setting with maybe a few tweaks here and there is the way to go. Below is a simple 2 basket set up, CCFp, TF + FF, L4 and its already past 1500 pips for the week.

Well that's down to money management. For example on my weekly demo account I use 1.0 lots and started with 100,000. So at most I'm risking 15-20% of the account per week and the results are after about 5 weeks of testing so it's grown about 12% per week net. However I'm also getting a feel for the stop loss and TP. Seems like this basket likes to get to 3000-4000 pips and I haven't seen it get below 2000 pips but we'll see. I won't put a SL at 2000 pips yet but a 4000 pip TP seems logical for next week with a profit lock around 2000 pips.

Yes MM is number one. Anyway such swings as 15-20% per weeks are too high for me. Moreover I won't be able to trade live with 100K balance so even if lowering to 0.01 lots and thinking to start with 1.000 you still need deep pockets because DD can be very big.

So final result here it profit locked out at 2100 pips after reaching 3200 max gain. Really interesting how well this performed on FOMC week and plenty of other shaky news. Strength H4 has had a tough week but not as tough as everything else. Really as far as baskets go the strength H4 and weekly are the go to's.

These baskets are test baskets so there's no TP or SL so I can collect all the data. My live account basket closed on its 1000 pip TP.

Some records of baskets.

All baskets are opened at the beginning of the day and closed at the end of the day.

Thanks a lot.

Excellent weekend for everyone.

Thanks for that evandrorp14, some very useful info there. From all the GMT open times that you've tested which GMT open time has been the most consistent and profitable for you? From my basic observations the 07:02, 08:02 GMT open times seem to look the most consistent?

Thank you. So it is not openning at any of the other times?
Please show me your display. If GMT hour is past the last entry 09:05 the display will only show that hour until
the new GMT day happens then it will start with 01:05.

So please show me your display that it is before 09:05 GMT. I want to see what the Open hour indicates before that 09:05 GMT.

Thnx

For those of you having issued with the multiple hours option.
You can verify what the next open hour the EA is ready to use by setting the PrintDebugInfo=true

When you do that you will see in the EXPERT log an entry for when the next open hour will happen.
that entry should match what you EXPECT from the input.

Please look at this and experiment. So you can verify for yourself that the EA is "using" the correct open hour.

Also be aware that after the LAST open hour the EA will maintain that hour until the NEW gmt Day Happens.
The EA will then update and use the 1st Open Hour.

Thnx
Jess

Hi Mrdfx

I agree with you, I believe these times are the most consistent, 7:02 and 8:02.

However, I have noticed that the positive results are directly linked to news and speeches, and I believe this is not new to anyone.

I think that adjusting the opening hours of the basket, according to the economic calendar on the day, could maximize the results and avoid large losses.

This week I was impressed with the performance of the baskets that use the strenght. Early on, when I was just opening the baskets in the LO and NY market openings, it was not getting good results.

In summary, I believe that consistency can be obtained by adjusting the opening hours of the baskets

Thanks a lot

Just incase if anyone has the same problem, I resolved mine by setting " Try to determine symbol pre and suffix" to false and manually entering (in my case) suffix "_"
