The Wednesday Basket hit TP. I adjusted the SL/TP to the atr calculated values from V41.2 to SL 540 pips and TP 430 pips.
The VB on V41.2 on my demo account did also work very well, real Basket was opened and it also hit TP.

{quote} Hi Thomas, great result. I wonder why do you still use V37.7.7 and not using latest version?
Hi steveq,
I use V37.7.7 on my live account because it seems to be the most stable version for using the virtual basket funktion.
I am testing the latest Version V41.2 on demo until I feel safe to use it live. Today it worked very fine, no issues.
The greatest thing for me with the new version is that you can let the EA adjust your take profit and stop loss by using the atr. This way
you can be sure to have more realistic values than setting rigid values for SL/TP.

Hello Jess,
please have a look at the attached image. I am testing V41.2 on two different brokers on demo.
On my broker where I am also live trding the EA worked fine.
On the other demo the VB was correctly opened, but it didn't open a real basket.
It seems to be broker dependent if the EA works correctly or not.

Wednesday basket was a peach again.

+5.5% for the week considering there was no trade on Monday.

Error “trade is disabled”.

Did you enable “live trading” option in your mt4?

thomas:
Thnx for the expert log image. Ok i see what may be hapoening. Since yer connection was off mt4 told the EA thst trading was disabled. For account security I have programmed the EA to immediately stop any trading activity. It will still be monitoring but that opportunity will no be looked at anymore.

IN an older EA i think i hqve code that deqls with that. That is attempt to wait until mt4 is connected.... i will need to put a timelimit... well u get the idea... v42 will have this...

Depends on the lotsize u select. In my case i am using .04/500 or .01/125.
So using my lotsize per balance ratio the lowest woild be $125.

Your local time is 1800 which is +2 from 1600gmt and the broker is 1900 which is +3 from gmt... ok hit f3 i want to see if the globals localGMTOffset = 2 and brokerGMTOffset = 3

{quote} I am testing v42 for opening a virtual basket and after triggered a real basket. In this case I am using the regular basket trail stop. When the profit reaches 4% the trail kicks in... then from then on at every 4% basket increase the stop is moved up. So in the image if basket profit falls to about 12% it will close the basket. So profit locked at 12%. Also notice the pip count? just about to reach 1000 pips This is just a test but if it continues to show similar results than hmmm... perhaps we have another set file??? J ...

Hi J,

saw that TP 100% and SL 3%

Is that require to set it to 100% for TP?
Are below correct if would like to set for 2% ?

No my friend. That is just me testing the vb on v42.
I am also testing the basket trail stop so i need more tp for that.

Just use the set files thst pippo and mrdfx have posted and as you forward test adjust the lotsize/tp/sl as u see fit. Or create yoir own setup.. and forward test

Ancient: to amswer your second question.

Yes that is correct. You have setup a tp of 2% with a sl of 2%. In addition the basket will have a trailing stop of 2%.

LOL no problem,you're good. Local offset is good and Broker offset is also good I think (2.9996). It opened VB on time today but it opened just 2 trades and it wasn't added to the VB more trades as it usually do in RB. Is it supposed to do so?

No error in expert tab. EA should have opened basket 23:30 GMT and it opened VB 22:51 GMT( it's first input in expert tab) and stopped update 23:00 GMT.

{quote} Here is the set file of how I use the EA. You will need to adjust the lot size, and put a SL % if you want to. As for the CMSM indicator settings, its pretty self explanatory as can be seen on post #13660. As for the VB, yes I was not using it before, but I've found that it helps as an additional "safety net" should the basket open, and go straight into loss. Hope this helps, good luck! {file}
Hey guys there have been some minor changes to my previous set file above mainly adding Wednesday as a trade day, so here is an updated set file of what I am using now, and its working well.

As before you will need to adjust the lot size appropriate for your account size,and choose whether you want to use the VB or not.

Happy trading!
