Guys to save yourselves hrs of wasted testing, I highly suggest that you read back in the thread from last year. Most of what you are testing now has already been tested long ago by other members. H1, H4, D1 combinations of each time frame has all been tested and TO, LO, NYO etc.. I've been using this strategy for a little over 1 year now and some of the other guys like Jess have been even doing it even longer, and trust me when I say that during the heyday of this thread between all the members at that time, thousands of combinations were tested,...

I have to agree on the weekly setup. I had some, mixed results form 10:00 AM EST to 4:55 PM EST - not bad but not acceptable. I''ll definitely go weekly starting next Monday.

I know I'll sound naive with the following question but, does anyone trade live here on mt4 using this EA?

I am sorry but I am not a spot forex trader., I trade Currency futures, Indices, commodities etc. I am tempted to give it a shot using this EA. The reason I ask about MT4 is due some bad experiences I had in the past - re-quotes, huge slippage etc - I am going back to 2009 -2010. Shady white label brokers etc. I am not intending to talk about brokers just that, unfortunately we have to use a landlord if we want to go live. I would like to know about trade execution using this EA(live).

I have tested some EA's in the past, good intentions from coders but one thing that spot forex has is to move fast 'n wild when liquidity runs thin, hence these E'As had issues. But I am curious about this one.

You guys have an admirable community here. The willingness to help a fellow trader makes this site a place to see.

Jess you're excellent - I wish you the best.

{quote} The next version will be a revolution. I've entirely modified the core logic. Now it uses an advanced ma formula to calculate more accurate & precise currency strength values. Time Frame Setting is dropped and replaced by TimeFrameWeight. CMSM is not a CCFp clone anymore . It's a unique currency strength advisor. I'll decide and make a decision about what to do next with the new version.
grandaevus hows the development of the next version?

Can you please share your recent update v15.03?
Truth is like poetry. And most people f*cking hate poetry.

grandaevus, I agree with mrdfx.....can you please release your newest version. I would love to add this to our strategy.

PLEASE consider releasing your latest version to us on this thread. Txs for everything you have done for us grandaevus!

The Friday Close only takes one hour or "-" to ignore. They way you have it written may affect the EA, I think.

The Open hours is correct. And NO there is no multiple Close hours... I will look into it, if it is not to complicated I will add something.

In fact you your Day Hour to Close Basket is what where you need to put the hour that you want the basket to Close. The Friday Close only works on Fridays it was placed there cause the original rules where that any basket was to be closed on Friday at close of NY.

Anyhow I will let you know if this can be done quickly.

Update on my trades this week.

- The primary basket hit SL of -1000 pips on Thursday 24-May.

- Second basket is still active but at a big loss, -600 pips as I write this. My SL at -700 pips.

- Big losses for the week but I am still significantly ahead for the year.

Going forward, I will be using a SL of 700 pips for all baskets. Prior to this week, The lowest any basket had reached was -619 pips during Week 9. That basket eventually closed at -102 pips. Other than that week, no other basket had reached even -500 pips. So I believe that SL of 700 pips should be enough to give my baskets "breathing room".

Otherwise, my strategy will remain the same:

1. Open real basket on Tuesday, 14:10 GMT.

2. Open VB at the same time. Trigger levels will remain the same as my first post on this thread.

I am going to do analysis of the results from my trading this year so I can calculate the % profit. Since I have not been trading the same position sizes every week and I have been changing my account size during the year, you can't just look at the current bottom line and calculate the profit %.

I will "equalize" by assuming constant position sizes every week, 0.02 lots for the primary basket and 0.03 lots for the second basket. Then I will adjust the $ amount of profit or loss. From there we can estimate what is the adequate account size. Then the % profit can be calculated.

{quote} still using v38beta2 yes nothing being recorded

I just ran that version and I got the file recording the total pip count.

Are you sure you have LogToFile_BasketPipCount=True?

If you still have the problem send me an image of the Expert Log, some times that tells you what happened or why something did not work..

Oh, do you have your MT4 installed on the standard directory (under C:\Program Files...) or do you have it installed on a folder your created.
My concern may be with it being installed under the standard directory, sometimes the permission that allow the program to create/write files may not be allowed.
I'll test that to...

Anyhow let me know...

This thread has gone very quiet. I would like to update on my results to date.

You may recall that I had a terrible week 21. My primary basket opened on 22-May and closed for -1000 pips. Second basket opened 23-May and closed for -700 pips.

On week 22, I opened primary basket on 29-May and closed for +238 pips. My total gain for the year is 2227 pips. This is what my actual equity curve looks like. The profit to date is 13.3%.

Since I was trading different position sizes during the year, I made some adjusted calculations that assume The same position size for all the primary baskets (0.08 lots) and the same position size for the second baskets (0.12 lots).

I also assumed a Stop Loss of -500 pips for each basket. So I adjusted my loss for week 21 to -500 pips for the primary and -500 pips for the second basket. And in Week 9 I had an actual result of -102 pips for the primary basket but it would have hit SL of -500 pips. The total for the year to date would have been 17.8%. Here is what the equity curve would look like.

Thanks Yohec.

I am currently using 400 pips sl - 650 pips tp - no trailing or locking profits etc. Last week I got my TP on Tuesday. Today (Monday) I am shy off 13 pips to achieve my goal. Last week I used CSM indi, This week I am using CCFp-Diff indicator. Next week I might look into the trailing stop function on the basket. I am still forward-testing.

People here are quiet alright. I think they're making bank, quietly .

A quiet thread sometimes is a good thing.

I am following you, Yohec. Thanks for all your help and contributions on this thread.
