{quote} You can find my preset in post #13314. I explain my method in detail in a few posts following that one. I currently open my baskets at 14:10 GMT. The opening time is 40 minutes after New York Stock Exchange open. So it will change with Daylight Savings Time change.
A question:
I understand VB is opened in the same direction of RB.
The only difference between VB and RB is that the EA box corresponding to the activation of the virtual basket is activated.

VB and RB are opened in separate accounts. The pairs are exactly the same, in the same direction.

{quote} Folks: Jose provides a great example of how multiple indicator copies where placed on the charts. He is using 2 but some folks had 12 and on several charts lol. So now you can see what those old inputs would refer to when they included "list". Only the trades on the lists were affected,. nothing to do with the real basket. Jose, since no one was using the setup you have the inputs were deactivated. On the next version i was going to remove them. So next version v41.91 I'll activate them. Will have it out soon....

{quote} vinivst: Hi. Try this. Open an empty chart. Load the CMSM indicator and WAIT TILL IT IS DONE. It takes a while Then once it is completely done... load the ccfp monitor EA. I just loaded my setup and had no real issues. HOWEVER... Before I loaded the EA... I did notice that the CMSM had those missing indicator ERRORS. So I reloaded the Indicator and no more errors. Weird. Like I said the EA does not use any indicators. all it does is "READ" the text on the chart that the CMSM indicator prints. You can test the EA by hitting the OPEN button....
Hello Xmess7, thanks for the reply.

I did what you said, but was still getting the same "cannot load indicators" issue, but now the EA opened 8 out 9 suggested positions, the only one that wasn't opened was NSZUSD, i don't know why. Tried everything, restarted both metatrader and notebook, loaded the NZDUSD chart and indicator on that too, etc. Then i realized that maybe the problem was the .set preset file configurations, when i tried to load the EA with the default configurations (no preset at all) it worked like a charm. Do you have any clue why this is happening?

When i load the EA with your last preset .set file i get this "cannot load indicators" errors. With the default EA configurations it works.

Thank you again.

----Edit----

Just debugged one by one of the parameters, i don't really know why when i just load your preset configuration i got this "cannot load indicator" error yet, but i just manually entered your configurations and it's working now. The EA not opening all the suggestions is because of the parameter "check candle color trend", but i assumed that is intended. So, the only missing answer is why when i load your preset it doesn't works, while when i manually copy the settings it works.

Now that is strange. The CandleColor test uses only the open and close of a candle., with the different TimeFrames, no indicators are ever called.
I'll load the preset (i assume u refer to the mrdfx preset?) And try to emulate thst problem you are having. Perhaps its a combo of the indicator or soemthing..

Xmess7, I don't think that the CandleColor is related to the "cannot load indicator" error, i was talking about the EA not entering in all the positions that are suggested because of this parameter, which kind makes sense as it's a trend filter. The preset that i was using was upload by you some weeks ago named "MDRF_2Times_aWeek.set". Here: https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...4#post11187794

Are you using the mrdfx preset now?

Thanks again!

artico01: Sort of.
when using the vb, first comes the vb then comes the real basket.
In the current configuration.. the vb is first generated from the indicator suggested list at the moment that the open time happens. EA waits for vb profit to hit trigger. Once vb hits a trigger the EA then builds the real basket from the indicator suggested list. If your indicator is set to use a lower tf than a week then more than likely the real baakwt will have different pairs. otherwise the lisr of pairs will typically be the same.

So yea sort of.

Btw this is the vb condition we have been dealing with. Whether to keep the operation as is or instead have the EA forget about the indicator suggestions and treat the vb as the real basket would be treated.

Read my previous post for current info on this topic.

that preset is my adaptation of mrdfx's first preset. It jist includes wedensday.. thats all and of course different lotsize and stops.

So what is the issue? Yes that will filter out several trades, thereby havingva smaller real basket.

If you want to verifiy that the EA is detecting all the trade suggestions then do this. Set PrintDebugInfo true. Load EA and take note of the expert log. You will see the list of pairs that the EA detects.. if those do not match to the list that is on the chart then there is something wrong. Otherwise... no matter what filters you use that debug list will always match the list on the chart AT THE MOMENT the EA is loaded with PrintDebugInfo is true.

Thanks for all the tips. No more issues at all, just registering in case someone else got the same problem. Just don't load the preset and enter the configurations manually. It should work.

Thanks again Xmess7.

I actually updated my preset to include Wednesday trade here: https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...6#post11445836

I think the main different now between our sets besides lot size, SL, etc is that I use the VB and you don't, other than that they are the same.

Hello mrdfx, thank you so much for all your efforts on this EA and tests. I'm really loving to learn this new strategy and already read something like the last 100 pages and the first 100 pages but i still not able to find where the virtual baskets are explain in details, could you tell me where can i find such this explanation?

Thanks!


----Edit----

Just found what i asked for:

"There is also a virtual basket feature you can use by setting UseVirtualBasket-true:
With this setting the EA opens not a real basket with real trades but a virtual basket.
The EA then monitors the virtual basket and only opens a real basket when the profit of the real basket
has reached a trigger you designate in the inputs. The trigger can be positive or negative.
Think of it like a Stop/Limit order but instead of one pair you are looking at a basket of trades."

Thank you all! You guys are the best!

Guys a little update on the daily baskets which I am testing, you can see my previous post here:

https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...1#post11465941

Next week is the final week of testing my top 3 daily basket configurations, this comes after many months (over 10 months) of testing 100's of different CCFp settings, and basket settings. (After this I am done with daily basket testing).

After next week I'll compile all the data and see which settings were the most profitable and consistent, and then share my results an winning set up here for you guys to try out.

I will say though that out of the top 3 finalists its not so easy to see which is the winner as some days they win and some days they lose, I'm not even sure IF there will be a winning set as from my analysis thus far daily baskets have not been as consistent and profitable as weekly baskets have.

I have been searching and testing for many many months to try and find a consistent daily set that can be traded for a small daily profit, adding up into a good monthly profit. We shall see...

{quote} Jess, I just realized that you are using the CMSM indicator. I've been following this thread from the beginning and I never gave it much thought. I've been using the original CCFp-Diff indicator all of this time. Since I have been successful I never considered switching. Is there a simple one sentence explanation on the advantages of using CMSM? I'm just curious. Thanks

Yes, pairs were taking from both list and filter out one pair that has different direction in basket 1 respect to basket 2.

1) Tested this function and got a lot of open/closing orders : FlipSignalIfTradeOpposite=false

2) Tested this function and filter out eurchf : AllowOpposites=true

Is possible to filter pairs that have same criteria in both baskets? If both are BUY B1/B2 >>>> BUY, SELL B1/B2 >>>> SELL ( I remember the coder of this ind worked in that way , filtering two TFs )

Thanks for your support,

It seems based on what you are asking, you are looking for a MTF CMSM indicator the same like CCFp-diff MTF, however grandaevus did not create such an indicator.

I think based on this by making changes to the EA to try accommodate your request will not be ideal, but only complicate the EA moving further away from what we are actually trying to achieve. (well its Jess who has the final say on that).

I would suggest you use this indicator below instead as it is improved from the original CCFp indicator and has MTF capabilities for up to 3 TF, so you can combine D1 + H4 to filter out opposite pairs, and only keep matching pairs to go to the basket.
