{quote} Hi John: No, no one has requested that option. But if you set the open hour to a range, say 01:00 - 17:00. Then depending on what other inputs you set then that is what will happen. Once the EA reached Tp/Sl or whatever it will proceed to open another new basket. As long as the hours are between the range you indicate the EA will either try to open a new basket. There is a delay that you can place on that so that you can have a chance to stop it if you need to. In fact you can plan the opening of new baskets at different hours. You can specify...
Many thanks for your hard work and the explanation above

Coding is no problem what takes a while to figure out are the permutations that happen for all the conditions that a user may select., I spend more time brainstorming over a notepad with a pencil than actual coding. Good ole vanilla

{quote} Coding is no problem what takes a while to figure out are the permutations that happen for all the conditions that a user may select., I spend more time brainstorming over a notepad with a pencil than actual coding. I go thru the processes and try to imagine anything that can happen or what should happen if this and that is set or that is set and write it down. Once I have something that looks like a set of instructions I then translate that to code. For example lets say everyone agreed and we just decided to have the EA sum up the trades...
Oh yes I like the good ole vanilla version... well with the VB added of course.

Many thanks for all your efforts and brainstorming Jess!

Information on Update v38 Ok guys I need input before I release the latest update. I need to know if you agree or if you have any other conditions that I missed. The updated EA now contains the conditions that Jencul mentioned n the post https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...5#post10560555 The EA will have a separate function to combine all trades into a smaller basket. Trades that appear several times are added together to produce just a trade with the resulting lotsize after the combination. Example: Say the Indicator...

Interesting results ppwest. So this week the baskets without the VB performed a lot better.

I haven't run minigan's set up this week as I've been busy with other tests, and the inconsistencies is still worrisome for me.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes, some weeks VB saves you losing pips and other weeks it ends up costing you. Like you said there is no consistency!

I'll run the tests till the end of the year and then I may change the start time for VB to 8 GMT - this will give a direct comparison to the non VB basket and will conclude whether or not VB works in our favour for these settings

tues -200
wed +400 (the basket open around a few hours after ny session)

i dropped the Lmax trade because i needed to use vb. having trouble opening trades with other version of ea also

last month running without vb would be horrible.

might be a good idea to have uniform opening time to be able to compare ...

Update 37.9 beta 2

xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v37.9_beta_2.ex4

Found a bug with the weekly setting. Ea would not open basket. Fixed it.
Added an ignore OPenHour option. This is used for when you only want to use the OpenTrades button manually.
Set Open hour = "Manual" and the Ea will not open a vb or real basket until you use the Open Trades Button.
Its sort of like the CloseFriday Hour input where you use "-" to ignore it. I had to use "Manual" cause "-" is what the range uses in its text.

Please use this version so that the weekly baskets will open on time.

Thnx
JEss

Guys tell me when u have these issues. It was my error i had the EA comparing today's day with yesterday's date. Well with that logic it will never open a new basket or anything cause the dates will never matched. This only affected the weekly mode.

Remember you can now go all manual. Just enter "Manual" for the oepn hour. The EA will not open any trades on any time... so you are free ro use the open trades button manually

About trading on a daily basis: Does anyone think it is a bad idea to open VB 45 min. after red news releases? London session sees most red news at 08:30 GMT. Does it make sense to anyone to wait until 09:15 GMT to start VB? How about not just an arbitrary 30-40 pips to enter, but a trigger value based on the number of pairs in VB, and the extent to which they have moved in the direction of the trade. With 10, or 12 pairs in VB, and a trigger value of 30-40 pips, normal price fluctuations at LO(or NYO, for that matter)are as likely as not to trigger the real basket. Does anyone think that 30-40 pips for a basket of 10, or 12 pairs is a meaningful excursion? ...15 pairs? ...NY opens 5 hrs. later than London. Starting VB at 09:15 GMT, and allowing it to remain active for 5 hrs. will open VB 45 min. after most red news releases in London session, and deactivate it 45 min. after most red news releases in NY session if no trades have been triggered(14:15 GMT, or 09:15 NY time).

We'll have to skip the phrase 'set and forget' from the title I guess.

Hi Xmess, thank you for your hard work on this awesome EA.

Could you please tell us what is now the latest good working version (even without this last new feature) ?
Thanks in advance.

hey nonnodom,
Please use the latest. It addresses issues that concern when baskets are opened. For the next version the new features have to do with how the EA groups the trades. So as long as u dont require any certain way that the trades are grouped thus version will do the job

Xmess7, I've been using the Trade Monitor for several months without a problem. Only recently, I started using the Virtual Basket feature but I have one problem. After my live basket closes by hitting TP or SL, the EA resets and the Max and Min Gain show 0. Why does it not save these values? I just ran a test with this version 37.9 beta 2 with the same result.

Thank you for your help.
