Xmess, for two times in a row my basket got stuck again. It just opened and all pairs went into negative, but somehow it doesn't move at some point. I'm not sure why, but I see that there is one connect failed where I believe that it lost connection and when it connected it again the basket did not move. Do you think that is the case?
Chau1985:
That may be the issue.. Let me test it on this side. I will emulate that my connection stopped (turn off wifi) and see if I get the same problem....
I'll let you know if I find something or I'll fix it..

{quote} DjPriz: hi just to make sure. You had no issued using the virtual basket right? I mean the EA opened the virtual basket at the indicate time... then when the virtual basket profit when above +20 pips the EA opened a real basket... Is this what happened? Reason I ask is cause some are having issued (this never happened before and nothing was changed that should make it happen) with their virtual basket not opening..... btw what broker are u using? J
Hi Jess, I'm using Oanda practice demo account. Looking at the trade it doesn't seem like it opened trades too early, but I will have to audit the trades more closely after work today. I plan to open another basket tomorrow, so I will keep a closer eye on it and report back. Thanks for all your work and dedication towards this EA.

That could be the reason, because lately I am having trouble with my router with losing connection. My solution could be using a VPS.

Looks like it is not the issue. The EA remembers its state so that if u reload it or if u reload all of mt4 (which woild be worse than a disconnect) the EA will resume from where it was before the reload/disconnect.
Yep i disconnected my router and waited several minutes then reconnected the router, EA continued with no issue. Of course the price stopped so everything was frozen on the screen but once the mt4 reconnected to the server the EA updated everything.

I need to do desktop share and see exactly what is happening.. i bet u it is something simple that i may be overlooking. You got enuf mem right? I mean its not an older machine that u r using, right??

It's not a super new computer, but should be fast enough to run it. It's been only popping up the last two weeks. I switched from v41 back to v40 but the problem still exist. i'm happy to help with desktop share, please pm me.

Hi All,

I decided to remove the stop loss to see how it went and the I had a margin call on 1 position for a loss. As luck would have it the basket turned around and closed at a profit on the remaining positions. I think that the automatic lot sizing is a bit too aggressive for my account. With that in mind can we please share different lot size settings to account balances perhaps? In all fairness had I just used the stop loss it would not have occurred. With that in mind, Jess, is it possible to have the automated lot size setting as an input rather than a fixed ratio setting?

Many thanks to all and result image attached.

PS will be going back to the stop loss setting next week but I will let it run for today's basket

Maahome:
You can make the lot to balance ratio less aggressive.
For example if u are using .05/100 by doubling 100 (
05/200) you cut the ratio by 2. or u can cjange the lot ratio to .01/1000 . you need ro find your comfort setting ans yes that ratio i use is aggressive but keep in mind mm is what keeps the approach under control...

IMPORTANT information for for those using v41

Folks: If you are using the MRDFX preset to set a virtual basket. Make sure that the following input is set to default.

Hours:Minutes vBasket remains open (overrides end of day closing) = 00:00 (this is default)

I noticed that it was set to just 0. I need to make a correction in the code so that it detects that just 0 is not allowed.

Long story short this may be why the vb is not triggering cause the EA does not recognize just 0 and goes on and do some stuff that can tell the EA not to trade, yes even if the vb hits a trigger.

Folks:
I have setup another mt4 with the ccfp EA v41. I have set it up to open a virtual basket at 12:55 GMT with a 20 pip trigger.
I also made sure that the default input is 00:00 for that input I mentioned previously.

I wont be looking for profit or anything like that. I will just report if it did or did not open.... when vb was triggered

So lets see if my vb trigger fails or what...

Hi Jess,
I changed the lot sizing and it worked in a fashion. I have attached the trade list and emailed the logs to you as they exceed the limit here. You will see where it did the following:
1. It tried to open trades on binary option symbols (ext.bo)
2. It placed three 5.00 lot size trades and then placed the correct size trades.

I Logged on and saw it and closed all the trades out.

Cheers

Yep that was probably the problem. My VB never opened either, so I just disabled it

I tried changing the hours to 00:00 but the problem is still there. I just checked and basically the VB just opens at the selected time and stops immediately.

Guys I dont know what to say. I ran v41 again last nite, with vb trigger at +20 and and today there were no issues ... the virtual basket opened on time and when it hit +20 the real basket opened. I will set it up to do it again for tomorrow.

Now someone did mention that they had binary pairs. That might be an issue. I recall in one of the earlier version I had an input to set false/true on whether to allow the EA to trade binary pairs. So will need to look into this again too.
