Hi syndicat I didn't trade at 7:30 GMT during asian session. There was probably a sell USD at this time. Have you taken it ? because it has dropped nicely
Yes, I sold the USD and closed with profit. I'm starting an experiment with lock-in profits.

Sure.... it's a good idea. I suggest at least a breakeven option in positive territory to protect the trade.
A lock tool is sometimes useful ...better a small profit than risk a big reversal....see post 39 #

madscalp as i have programmed the basket open is max 6 because the program opens
a basket for every possible signal regardless the currency. the possible signals are 6 3 for delta up and 3 for delta down so
in my intention was so.... but this morning i had a problem at my plaform i saw some floating
operation that had to be closed... perhaps there is an issue with the stop loss. this evening i will
look for this. it s very difficult to program an ea and to make it to go in perfect way... but finally we will succeed.

{quote} Hi Ezios I suggest for settings 4.4 ...4.8...5.2. About friday, my answer is no, don't forget we are in demo...so for testing. We need to test news. I'm thinking about a new option: it's a bool "basket limit option": for instance, after 3 or 4 or 5 basket open, the EA doesn't open new baskets (IMO easy to code)

Here is my latest release. Bugs are fixed.
I added a breakeven parameter to lock profit @1, and the standard deviation of curencies's strenght to get the "volatility" of forex. It may be a condition to mean reverting.
Let me know if everything works well.

in teory if we attach in a chart the system counter trend and in another chart
the system in trend when counter trend goes stop loss the trend goes in profit so...
but with the fluctuation of market ic can happen both system go in profit in different times...
i think this is the final solution to have both strategis working together.
with Medusa it can be done. ...

My idea was to choose the one to trade by the market condition. Working on standard deviation right now.

Good thinking !
Getting in interesting territory.
Might be a good idea to adjust stdev to cater for volatility decay over time ;-)
Jonathan Kinlay explains how you could do that in this article.
Of course I am not saying you should, but once adjusted you could maybe think about plenty of neat things such as statistical outliers, ...

{quote} Thank you. The main difficulty in this system is the entry. We need a good entry to avoid a too important DD. So sometimes we have to add new baskets in order to average. I suggest strongly baskets with small lots. Syndicat, a member, tried the system this week..... IMO DD too big but good results https://www.myfxbook.com/members/Str...ndmade/2421353

Nice suggestion. I'm a huge fan of statistical trading.

If "false", any new trade will be open (but still profit/loss management).
That let you change other parameters (like TP/SL) without reset the timer and reopen same basket.

difficult to answer.. the display signal was meant for manual trade.
when you introduced the logic of 3 steps i did not updated the dispoay signal upon this logic
so the signal is display when deltaup >= delta or deltaup >= delta regardless of delta1 and delta2.
so.. it depends on wat was this signal and wen and how many basket were opened... I told you no more than 6

Gripping reading...I see that your trading style is widely inspired by this theory...small TP big SL
Do you note a positive effect in practice ?
How do you advise the introduction of this notion in basket trading ? because you trade only pairs
