Hi all I have opened on feb 19 a small demo account ( $ 1 000 ) to test the system. You see the results below but there are some mistakes: 1 st from me : several baskets were opened with 0.1 lots...of course only 0.01 lot ...no more 2 nd from EA testing : too many baskets due at bugs So the results turn around 20 % weekly profit instead of 36 %. I set a 5 % SL and it was never reached ( of course it will be one day ) What conclusion ? lucky week ? probably... I still don't know the best way to close the trades. Mostly were closed by lock and sometimes...
How about using a standalone basket manager like MPTM or Milanese trade manager? They can manage trades based on magic number, trade comment etc.

Many thanks. Milanese is a member of Steve Hopwood's forum , I presume ? Where do we can find this trade manager ?

{quote} I think faryne can do that easily. It's just a command to not open momentarily new trades. {quote} Sure. It's why we need a news calendar ( post # 29 ) . I admit that I do not always look at minor currencies faryne have to include it in the next version
I already added On/Off button to stop EA (="add_new_trades" parameter) and buttons to manual open basket with.
I also added news filter with: stop trading before/after news, and revert trading only on news.
I will not add S/R indicator, because I can't see what to do with. The system is based on Currency, not on pair, so pairs related on same currency can be on support and resistance same time etc.
I will not add (for now) the ghost basket idea. Because it's a lot of work (due to passing from basket profit to pairs pips on code) and we don't know if it will add any value. So I propose you to paper trading it (with 2 demo account), and if it's intersting, I will definitively work on that .

Feel free to propose your others improvments.

OOOPS ...these options are in the settings and no on the dashboard with buttons ...i apologize ..i didn't seen
faryne ...you are right...the EA is very complete and now it's up to the trader to make good use of it with his own management
just a question : post 186 you showed a screenshot...what's the EA version with news calendar and total P/L ?

This is the next version (not uploaded yet). I added lot of stuff (included news, buttons, etc.) so I need to test code in live with data and orders. Surely delivered tomorrow.

Perfect...faryne.
When I'm talking about improvment, I'm thinking about trading management no EA.
About ghost basket, I agree with you . It's a lot of coding for an uncertain value.
Another request is for Ezios no for you.

Madscalp I can add sound alert in the indicator but... for the other options that someone required i have not

Hi Ezios
You are right. A sound alert with Shakira's voice would be wonderful
Maybe vinvlad can explicite his request about "AlertCandle"...

  • Feb 26, 2018 2:40am Feb 26, 2018 2:40am
As far as I understand, this option (Alert Candle) eliminates numerous alerts when a trigger signal appears. For example, when we put the indicator on the chart with tf 1 minute, an alert appears only once after the candle is closed in 1 minute. Again - I'm not a coder, I can be wrong.
I sent the code options to you in the PM.
Perhaps help. Thank you.

OK ...I see your idea....IMO M5 is a good TF...maybe M1
If the signal is confirmed at candle close, it's valid.
I'm using the indicator below in M5 to "visualize" the market ( useful for manual trading )
You can send the code to Ezios to know if he can make that.

Good entry with delta 1-8 > 7 on Daily R2 and Weekly R1
Beware ...maybe just a pullback ?
What's the 5.1 ?

I understand the concept , Vinvlad but keep in mind that if I add this option for current timeframe,
for example 5 min , if the signal appears for example at 2:00:35 and then disappears you wll never have the mesage.
is this what you want? i dont think that is for this system. we must to meep signals in seconds.

I think to understand but I don't know if it can be coded.
Let's suppose a delta set at 4.4. The signal is valid only if at the candle end the delta is yet 4.4.
It would be necessary to use the indicator below which would display the valid order at the end of the candle ...for instance M1.
True improvement ???? A lot of coding work for little added value...

Correct session for me and you ?
Beware of red news nextly...I'm out of the market

Actually it's nothing to code, but IMO i don't see any interest with this strategy.

You are right - a signal for 1 minute. And then it does not repeat. This is if you can not just limit it with one alert.
  • #220
  • Feb 26, 2018 9:16am Feb 26, 2018 9:16am
the indicator is used to trade manual so... the decision is of the trader. the indicator displays every
signals whe3n they appear... then the trade decides what to do.. it is useless for all of use to concentrata our attention in the
thing of discretionary trading. we have to improve the automatic system. the rest is alreay done.
