OK who's John Ward??
I got your logs and I saw what is happening. I made a quick fix (well it was already there from before). Turns out that when the EA tries to open a binary optin the broker Disables ALL TRADing. So your virtual basket is triggered properly BUT the real basket never happens cause the trading is disabled.

Download this version and let me know if you still have a problem. next version (v42) will already have this fix in it.

all you need is the indicator. (that has to be on the chart before the EA, otherwise the EA will tell you lol).

You can get any of the indicators here:
http://xm7.info/ea/ccfp_weekly/Indicator/

Just grab the latest CMSM. That should be ok. The settings of what we use are on the images. Level and TF. I thnk most folks are using level 4 with TF weekly. I think.

Thank you!
Will the EA automatically open the basket Monday, or do I have to do it? I assume it will close it Friday.
Thanks again.

Never mind- I answered my own question.

{quote} oh, it stops? You mean the vb total stops moving as in it is not counting??
Yes, it opens and stops immediately. That is what I saw two days ago. It never happened on the v40.7 version but I noticed that when I switched back to v40.7 I had the same issue. So it could be a settings error. I will try the new v41.1 and setup manually instead of using my old preset file.

Old School still working well. Jess, v3.7.7.7(1) is your Magnum Opus. As usual, opened RB perfectly, and trailed profits perfectly. Thanks, Pippo... {image}
Do you know where I can find that version?
Thank you.

This should do it Bill. Daily trading based on weekly signals, using original strength meter. Much earlier in the thread this method was treated, and showed good promise. Explanations as to how I calculate my settings can be found in a number of my earlier posts. Settings you will find in EA are those used in today's trade. Settings vary as a function of number of trades in VB. v3.7.7.7(1) is user friendly and the most stable, and bug free of all of Jess's EAs I have tried, and I believe I have tried them all. {file} {file} {file} {file} {file}...
Thank you very much.
I'll apply it and do my best to figure out your settings.
Thanks again.

Jess, it works now with the new version and resetting the settings. Thanks.

NOticed that the EA opened a lot of same GBPJPY pairing for me today, and it opened until there is not sufficient margin.

Luckily this is a demo account.

Any idea whyt this is happening? Using the latest version

{quote} Bill, In summer months about 7.5 pips per pair in VB looks about right for RB trigger. Otherwise, 9 pips is what I had been using, and that appeared to be satisfactory. The SL is 2xtrigger value, and the TP is 1.5xSL value. I begin locking profit at 0.60 TP value, save 75%, and set LockStep to 3 pips per pair in VB. Today, with rounding, with 15 pairs in VB, trigger was 113 pips, SL 225, TP 338, LockProfit 202, saving 75%, LockStep at 45 pips. Basket H today was about 214 pips before retracing. v3.7.7.7(1) dutifully saved 75% of that value....
Hi Pippo
I saw that in your model you have the indication of the news, for the negotiation, or that you take some measure to protect possible losses?
or limit it to the Sl you have configured?
I remember that last year there was a member who set up these baskets just for the news, but I have not seen him around here...

Pippo!! The other day I mentioned you and BAM you pop up!! LOL you will never die my friend

So since 3.7.7.7 is working out fine then all I need to do is go back do a comparison of the latest vs that one and see what may be the issue with the latest ones.

More than likely 3.7.7.7(1) has the old method of keeping track of the baskets (remember those days when folks had a gazillion baskets on one chart?). That I think is the BIGGEST difference between the newer and older. As long as you are dealing with say less than 3 baskets you will have no issues. So the only thing about 3.7.7.7 is to keep the basket count low, otherwise if you use a real big number of baskets, well we had delays and weird stuff happening....

Mingteikg:
Yep you got that right. The error log says you are surpassing your margin and or dont have enough money to open the orders that are listed. If you look at your image you are just about using over 97% of your margin (used margin $686 vs Equity: $703).

What broker are u using?? Oanda??

If you are using Oanda, I recommend you start with at least $1000 of balance with the smallest lotsize 0.01. Your TP and SL will also be alot smaller, considerable smaller. Unless if you know what you are doing I don't think you want to use all of your margin.

I think the problem is why it kept on creating new same trade when it already has opened the frade
if you noticed it kept on opening new and new trade of the same pairing until it ran out of margin.
I’m on fxpro
this has been consistent since using the latest version (not the version you created for Chou).. weird things are happening. And I noticed this happening when there are many possible pairs to trade, so I changed the trade level to 10.5 today and only came out with 3 pairs but the issue is still happening

Hi Jess,
I am just on board few days ago. I did subscribed 2 weeks ago but really draw back with more than 600 pages to read, I did have time read the first 30 pages though.
This Monday I happened to make EA working with 9 pairs trade and at the moment I wrote this post, the bucket is +16.5 pips.
My question is I am using CCFp-Diff_[v2](1) indicator but I saw you recommend to use latest CMSM which one is better?
I am sorry if the question is already answer but it is not easy to go through the pages looking for the answer.

If it is possible would you please put the latest of everything in one post?

I really appreciate your hug and selflessness contribution.
Thank you very much

Hello Jess,
i am new here in forex factory, but i am following this threat almost for one year. From time to time i am trying and playing with your fabolous EA. I am using V41 now an i have a problem with the virtual basket. It doesn't count the pips, there is nothing shown in the pip gain column. I am using the mrdfx 2 times a week set and i have correctet the time setting from 0 to 00:00. In the screenshot you can see, that the vb shows some pairs but there is no total value of pips.

Hi mrdfx, thank you for your reply....but why are there 12 pairs shown in the virtual basket ?
At the moment the EA was opening the virtual basket there was a list of recommendations. But when the virtual basket hit the trigger to be open and since the EA rechecks the list... there were no recommendations... so no trades...
