This week has been a good week overall. On my weekly basket I closed with 800+ pips. I think I could have got more but I didn't want to get greedy and i closed with a good weekly profit. On minigan's settings it was a different story and none of the baskets got triggered. All 3 days the VB did not hit the 30 pip upper trigger and in fact ran wildly in DD. This was a good week where the VB paid off nicely by saving me from some potential losses this week.
hi mrdfx, what's your rule on using vb+30? how long do you keep it open for? until the next day ?
i hit mine on wed n thursday..

good lord +800 pips so i suppose thats ur TF LV 4 basket isn't it?

Yes, I have set close time each day to 20:45 GMT. For VB I only run it until it hits -200 which would have been SL.

Hi minigan for the VB I normally give it a few hours to trigger, but if after 3-4 hours I see that it is still in DD and hasn't triggered I will stop the VB, also if I see that the VB is -200 I'll stop it right away as clearly the trend is in the other direction.

Yes my TF + FF L4 basket did very well. As I'm trading it on live account I don't shoot for monster pips, anything over 500 pips for the week I'm happy and I take my profit and run lol.

Your FT basket did well. I remember testing that set up a while ago in the beginning, but I think according to my data it was outperformed by TF and FF.

If you don't know what that is then you need to start on page one, read the first post and then take your time to read the whole thread, then these kind of questions will be answered without you even asking.

Good work mrdfx! Just a question, when you say weekly basket, do you just open one per week or as some people here do, they open one basket each for tue wed thursday based on the weekly signals? Just want to clear up the definition of weekly basket here in this thread

Is there a way to create your own basket with defined pairs?

Hi benjamintoh8 by weekly basket I mean I open on a Monday and close on Friday, although I hardly get to close by Friday as I normally close my basket before then from hitting the target.

The weekly basket that started today (11:00 GMT) already closed with -200 pips on both FF and FT with Oanda Demo.

I'll try to see if Tuesday is a better day due to the weekly trend having formed a bit during Monday.

thanks! so you use the vb for your weekly baskets too I presume? FF setting as well?

I would then assume the open on tue wed thur open one basket each is the minigan setting

Yes I use a 50 pip upper trigger for my weekly VB. Basic settings are W1, TF + FF, L4 open on Monday.

minigan's settings are a little different to mine, and you can read back a few pages about the specifics of his settings he uses.

thanks! one more final dumb question, you mentioned TF and FF, it's not possible to load both into a basket , so I assume you open 2 baskets ya ?

I load 2 indicators on the same chart, and the EA will monitor both.

Hi mrdfx, thank you for the info!
Does that mean that you enter most trades twice, considering that TF and FF have many common signals?

HI ,

My weekly basket just closed as it hit the "profit lock" I used the default settings in profit lock other than my setting of 50% profit lock once pip gain is more than 200pips. It seemed abit underwhelming to end the week at 125pips and so soon in the week My other settings are weekly, TF, Level 2 , SL 1000 and TP 1000pips respectively and GMT 11 open on monday.

What would you advice? Do you use profit lock as well? p.s, ignore the percentages as i have other trades running

Quite a swing this morning. Only 60 pips from my,"DD," entry.

I have started experimenting with profit lock on some of my baskets although I will say that I'm still learning how to master it. My other baskets I use a normal TP & SL. The profit lock is something new for me so I don't know if I'm doing it right either lol.

Perhaps there are some guys who can give better answers with regards to profit lock.
