{quote} I'll look into doing this. But at the moment you try this: Set the TradeMode=Daily Then set the open hours like so: OpenHour=00:00-03:59,04:01-07:59,08:01-15:59,16:01-19:59,20:01-23:59 The EA will attempt to open a basket at the start of each 4H segment. I think that is what you want right? The only consideration is that if there is an open basket at the end of the 4hr cycle the EA will not close that basket and open a new one. So in essence any basket that was opened has to be done and closed before a new basket can be opened on the next...


really looking forward to the update

Monday Basket Update Woke up, saw profit, closed basket with 2.1% profit. For those wondering why i did this... personal preference. If i take a peak and see basket is in profit I close the basket otherwise i expect the basket to already be closed... J {image}
My VB froze yesterday and it did not move after it froze. I was just wondering if this could be caused by losing internet connection? I recently have some experiences with losing internet connection during the day.

mrdfx,
I remember your preset using a "fixed" lot size of 0.04. What is the account balance that you use this with? I'm trying to match it with the "LotsPerBalance" input so that I get relatively the same lot size as you do, without having to use a "fixed" lot size. I started my basket today "1 hour" earlier than you do and I am using a 0.04/500 "LotsPerBalance" and I hit my 7% SL today. I will be going back to the same start time as you, and I'm trying to match your lot size. TY!!

EDIT: I am also using Level 3 on the indicator and I believe you are using Level 4.....if i'm not mistaken.

Hi Jess,
Just wondering which version you recommend as stable. I saw on your screen grab that you are on V42? I assume this is a test version? Is 40.9 or 41 the better version to use. Appreciate your advice.

Ok Ancient i looked at the code and followed it as if it had been reloaded (just like u did). I cannot see how the EA is able to open trades. Even on my machine it does not open any trades, but then again my mt4 did not freeze. Your start time is hour 9 minute 0. The EA compares the current hr, minute to those numbers and obviously when the ea is loaded at an hr, minute that is not that number the EA skips and does nothing (does not open a basket) .
I then looked at your set file and all is fine. The openhour is clearly there. if u had something like XX:xx-XX:xx then it would make sense but u dont.
Is anyone else able to recreate this sitiation? I mean reload the EA and see it open a basket?

In a bit i will send u a version that will tell us exactly what is happening right after you reload the ea... stay tuned.

Will do Jess - I am going to use the latest weekly set file - do I need to change anything - it Looks like it only opens on Monday? How do I make it open on another day - just pick a different day - if you want to run Mon and Wed - do I need to change that manually after Monday?

Cheers

Hi J,

Thanks for the support. I'm also not sure what is happening. Caused last week was work fine until yesterday try to close and open MT4 only found out this issue. (Possible last week did not reopen mt4)

The set file using should be same as yours or Mrdfx with time open on 9.00GMT (Mon&wed).

The only difference I'm using CMSM v17.01 intsead of v14.01

Notice also the trade level 2 signal provide is different
Feom between this 2 version. Btw I will stick to test for trade level 2 to see the outcome.

If somebody ald test on version 17.01 , possible can share out the best trade level.


Thank you,
A

Jess I encountered an error today with the EA. I'm using v40.7 as its the most recent stable version for me till now.

So I was setting up the basket to trade tomorrow, and after setting the EA parameters, and I clicked ok, and the basket immediately opened even bypassing the VB opening a real basket. I quickly closed the basket for a small loss of 0.5%.

As far as I know the EA should not have opened a real basket as it is set to open on Wednesday only, and even then as I am using a VB the VB should not have triggered a real basket as it did not trigger the upper trigger?

Not sure why this happened, but I thought I'd bring it up. Perhaps in v41 this error does not happen?

I use a lot size of 0.01 per $100, so for a $500 that would be 0.05, $1000, 01 etc.

Yes the open time can have a very big different result, so opening 1 hr earlier or later will have different results for sure.

I only use L4 for the CMSM as I've found that it filters out the lower strength pairs, but some do have success with L2 or L3. Test which is better for you, but I only use L4.

Yes the EA did open the VB, but it bypassed it and triggered the VB and opened a real basket straight.

I tried to replicate the error on my demo account, and nothing happened.

I'm not going to try replicate it again on my live account lol..
