{quote} majamivice: This is one operation of several i am looking into. You see the development of the EA was brought upon by requests. On many rew requests users did not think things thru. I tried to make sense of these things and placed them as i saw fit so it woild not affect the core operation of the EA. The vb idea was brought on way before the filters where considered. So beforecwe deal with your question lets analyze the vb operation. The process is basically that a vb is opened and when it hits a trigger a real basket is opened....
Looks like we need a multiple basket trading EA. One to trade the original suggestions in VB, one to trade current suggestions at time RB is triggered, and one that will mix, and match. Great thinking guys, really...

{quote} Please explain how VB should/could reflect RB in real time as there is no RB as long as VB is active.
I mean VB threat and add trades as indicator suggests and when it trigger value to open RB open all trades from VB and continue to run trades as usually. This is for me real time. Because those trades triggered VB to open RB. As it is now, VB open trades which was suggested at that time we said to EA to open basket, then trades goes in our favour and trigger value to open RB, but at this time maybe there is whole bunch of other trades that is suggested by indicator and that is not the same basket which was gone in our favour.

{quote} I think VB should reflect the settings in the Trade Monitor until trigger level is hit. So if trend filter is on then currency pairs can go in and out the VB until trigger level is hit. Both weekly and daily baskets. If you do so then it is as flexibel as possible. After RB is open then new pair can be added to RB (as it is does now) if the right conditions are met. I will suggest a new option in the trade monitor '' do not trade this pair''. Regards Jan
I'm glad someone brought this up, it was something I wanted to bring up as well.

Currently the VB takes in trade suggestions at the opening time only.
So if new trade suggestions are made during the time the VB is active it will not place them in the VB.

I agree that new suggested pairs should be added to the VB, but I don't think they should be removed from the VB when they disappear from the suggestion list.
VB should be treated like the RB. In the RB, trades won't be removed when they appear and disappear from the suggestion list.

Nobody says trades from VB should disappear. When they are added they are added, like real trades.

My VB has a trade that reached 20 pips. Can anybody tell me why it didn’t open a trade in the real basket? Is it possible that some of my settings are wrong? I tried to look for the answer in the thread but I think that I didin’t really understand how the VB works then..

please help

In my post I quoted and bolded the part where Jan said in and out. I understood this as trades being removed from the VB.
If not, all is good since we are in agreement.

WestVillage:

There is nothing wrong, the EA is waiting for the TOTAL profit of the vb to hit a trigger before opening a real basket.
According to your image the EA is waiting for the vb to climb up 75.7 pips in order to open a real basket.

What you are referring to is a feature that Thor had recommended for the gradual build up of the real basket by having the EA detect when an individual vb trade hits a certain pip level. In order for that to be the mode you need to set the following two inputs
"Pip Profit (+/-pips) to allow virtualTrade Pair to open in realBasket" - set this to the pips you want each vb trade to hit
"Hours:Minutes rBasket is processed after vBasket triggered its open" - set this to the amount of time that a real basket remains opened

Otherwise the default operation of the vb operation is to use the the total profit to trigger a real basket

OOPS I meant 77.5 pips... ==> 20 pips (trigger) + 57.5 pips (vb negative profit) equals a total distance of 77.5 pips.
Sorry I flipped the 7 and the 5 lol

Hello everyone. I have started this week with this strategy. I attach the results.
By mistake do not place the indicator and the EA in the EURUSD pair in 1 minute. I do not know if that influenced the result of the week.
Next week I will place them where they belong and use the latest mrdfx settings. Let's see how they go.

The total reached 20 pips in the VB but it didn’t trigger the real one
do you have any idea of why it might have happened?
thanks

This happened to me a few times too.
Did you leave your EA running for a long time(days)?
Resetting the EA and restarting MT4 fixed my problem. (Resetting alone might be enough)
Don't know if that will fix yours but it's worth a try.
Afterwards, you should set the starting time to a minute later than current time and test it to make sure.

thinking i was fiddling with my demo account, i closed today's basket manually at a 1% gain by accident but i take solace in the fact that it was profit, not loss & that its 1% i didn't have at the start of the day
