{quote} Are you really upset that you got stopped out with those numbers, i do not believe so.
Hi Master Fxm , I do not want to mess up with the almighty TTM visual tool. But , if it is possible to automate Start Trading at a certain GMT time
it would be a great addition . I am able to lock my basket at TO+2 since it is 23:00 here @ GMT-3 ( +/-) ..now the LO+1 is still not possible for us
which are living the other side of the Atlantic ( Mrdfx , Embry and a bunch of others) . Your strategy , tools , I must say woaahh ( this strength "stuff", slope style..kudos) .... Because of the GMT offset , I need to stay away ..because unable to press this green button at the right time. When I wake up , it already happened. At this moment I just flip the coin ( while locking at TO+2 and activating Start Trading inmediately before going to bed) . So, in the name of GMT minus guys ( Brazilians, Canadians, US Citizens, South Am , Caribeans , Amazonians.lol) , I beg you to have a look in the TTM if we can have this marvel to start trading on its own at a GMT (or broker) user defined time.
This will be also valuable to trade news releases , while away or offset and would be valuable if one day you decide that this ( fantastic ) tool need to be licensed. Thank you to have a look at this HP.

Hi flaw, Do you wait with the basket if there are no breaks at LO+1? Or you would still open it? Thanks
If the market is ranging I'll wait. Most of the time the patience is paid off. (I gave an example before) If the trend is obvious I don't use the break option just jump right in.

How do you imagine that ?

Suppose the basket is locked and you carefully set your TTM break, add, stoploss and take profit lines based on what you see on the chart at that moment.
You set TTMs alarm clock to start trading let say six hours later and while you are sound asleep and dreaming about Janet or Draghi (who ever you prefer) the price goes through a break line, through eight add lines and when the TTM alarm goes of is just a couple of pips away from your take profit line.
Do you want TTM to open all nine trades (break + eight adds) just for a couple pips to the take profit or even worse just before the reversal ?
Also "do not trade when broken before" has little use because in a lot of cases that would have happened already because you set trade breaks looking at the current chart and not the chart in six hours.
Neither can TTM generate break an add lines for you at the alarm time because it does not have the intelligence to place them properly.

TTM is a manual trading tool to easy by moving lines manipulate your trading, it is in no way an auto trader.
Is does not recognize fibo lines, support/resistance, moving averages or any kind of that stuff, that is something you have to do.

I think you are better off using Jesses XM7 trader together with the the locked FXM_diffs and a virtual basket.

Also an option is the dashboard EAX from user Aeseme.
It has a lot of additional filters and FXM_diff can generate a pin signal for it which will stay on if you lock FXM_DIFF.
On a given time EAX can start and use it's additional filters (like avoid +/- pips around fibo levels or pivot S&R) to take trades.

Hi FXM , thanks for answering. Xm7 or Aeseme EAX will certainly do the basket opening at a settled time you are right.Not sure how to set "break lines" with theses though.With Xm7 I can use a VB which behave like a breakline when VB trades are kicked in real after reached 50/100 break UP.When I say UP ..this is because Xm7 will ONLY turn the basket real if the breakline is broken UP ... ( unless I reverse the Fxm signals or reverse in Xm7 settings) ..so , there will always be only one line to be broken. I will try to have a closer look at EAX DB if I can tweak some pin's or settings to have the job done. I really like the Offline chart visual of TTM , which allow me to "see" my basket. I use to set the breaks as a "channel" using your Fibo levels indi. So, this is why I was asking for. It is obvious that TTM is NOT an autotrader and will never be. At TO+2, i can set my breaklines, my STOP's I never set a TP ....TTM trailing stop do the job perfectly. I still have to understand the Lock settings which are NOT clear to me. I can still have the good of both Xm7 and TTM "visual" basket , turning Xm7 ea off and loading TTM on the offline chart with the same magic # when I wake up.TTM triggers basket opening even when breaklines are 200 pips away from the original setup ...I just wanted not to leave these 200 pips to the market makers ...
Thank you again Fxm to take out or your precious time.

Stefdek, i don't know if it will bring anything to solve your sleep problems but this version has a start @ GMT in it so you can try it out next week.

I've experienced this behavior several times. At the end of the candle, the price (only the picture printing) retreats considerably forming a long wick, that wick is then filled back at the beginning of a new candle. This affects the semi-automatic trading feature on TTM [Break line trades], and that's the reason why I only trade manually when I'm in front of the screen.
I'm not sure if that's the place to look at, but I've tried both ways (true/false) on the fxm_diff3 setting for "push HiLo instead of calculating it". I wonder if there could be any possible fix for behavior. Thanks.

It is probably at the point where you start the chart.
That is the point where the writer goes from calculated wicks to pushed wicks.
But that should then be only when you set push wick.

I haven't noticed it before so i have to observe it before i can solve it.
Be patient.

Not really, those are live candles. The writer was kicked off @ 2gmt. Btw, the auto writer kick off with the gmt lock got broken with some of yr latest diff3 releases. I'll try to narrow down what the issue is and report back. The problem is intermittent. The weekly one [last picture] has been running since Monday. Tks. Is the no confirmation pop ups coming soon?

Hi Fxm , I did not traded on monday.Tuesday they were BOJ/News JPY ..that might affect the TO+2 lock basket ( 4 pairs of 9 were with JPY) . So, I did not trade either. Although in demo , I have busted so much demo accounts that I try to behave now
like if it was for real , thus maybe slowing my learning curve ..maybe.New toy is ready for LO opening tomorrow ...calm day , bank holidays , this should work. Will report here ..no doubt. I did played few hours ago with the NZD red news release ..for a green 40 pips results that might have be much higher if I only had pressed " start trading" while on touch ...although this saved me of a whiplash that would have triggered in the wrong direction ( lol- lesson learned) when I finally realized that my forgot/mistake it went short in the right direction but I had still to wait minutes before spreads get down ...to get the pairs basket orders filled... , I had then time to set my SL , pressed the BE button ..all ok ..trailing . I could find a settings on Fxm that displayed 5 of the NZD pairs ...not all the NZD unfortunately.... I miss so much not to be able to add them manually AUDNZD and NZDJPY were literally flying ( 100 pips & 70 pips respectively) as expected because of NZD strong relationship with its pal AUD and their master of the region ( Asia) the JPY ...I could have made 200 pips easy on this ..in 5/10 min. All this on a 1 min offline chart.

TTM is ALSO a excellent NEWS trader if we could just add pairs missing in strength/ccfp display ...selling when the pair is the base currency , buying when not ..or the opposite ..and at NEWS release being able to catch part of rocket tail ( or submarine) .. Today were really good news for NZD ...so Fxm Diff suggestions were traded reverse / sell basket. This was my 1st experiment using this way. So, confirming TTM versatility AND an amazing, valuable , MUST HAVE tool.

Advise to those who wants to try this NEWS approach ... No SL ( at least no tight SL - it will get hit then reverse - whiplash effect) , widen a little your spread limit ( +50% maybe) to get filled with market orders . I lost ( left on table) 80 pips before orders being filled.( because leaving max spread at 3.0) ...on NZD pairs ..on NEWS ..3.0 pips = nada.

So, I know ..I know , ...if , I could only have done this , done that...nooby trader blabla....lesson learned ...make 40 green pips ..could have made 240/250 if all 7 NZD pairs and widening spreads allowance.
