I had to close all graphics, click on market watch and click on hide everything, restart metatrader, open a new EURUSD window, put it on weekly, wait data from back than august of 2017, put it back on 1min timeframe. Repeat the process for all the other 27 pairs. Close the other 27 pairs. Put the indicators on the EURUSD 1 min window, worked. Put the EA on the same window, worked.

Hi Jess, Im testing the trail stop "Percent of profit" but it seems like it does not lock at 6% of gain as shown in the picture. During this trade, the maximum profit can go up to 15% but it does not protect the profit with a step lock of 2% in the setting. I am not sure that whether im not clear of the function on the trail or it was a bug. Care to explain the function of the "begin lock profit" and "lock percent level". I have attached the setting im using for this trade. {image} {image} Thanks in advance. Miner88
Hi Miner88:

begin lock profit = Tells EA when to START (begin) the profit locking. In your case it will start a 6%

lock percent level = is the percentage you want the basket to protect.

This percentage changed the trailing lock. Like this.
After the EA starts(begins) locking profit it will set the trailing stop at "lock percent level "% x CurrentBasketProfit. (in your case "lock percent level "= 4%)
This will continue to happen each time the EA reaches the next "Step" (in your case every 2%)

So:
EA profit reaches 6%... then EA starts locking in profit.
Then from then on for every step increase of 2%
The trailing lock will be 4% of the BasketProfit.

So in essence you are protecting 4% of whatever the profit for every 2% increase AFTER 6% was reached.

Does that clarify it somewhat?? This feature was introduced by the creator himself Pinbar.. LOL.

Here is an example from post https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...06#post9565606
I use pips but its the same idea.

================================
Example:
StartProfitLockAt(BEGIN)=300 (that's when EA starts locking)
lock percent level (LEVEL)= 50%
TrailingLockEvery(STEP)=100 (delta that profit must move up before EA moves lock)

profit ________ _________ Lock Profit at:
<300 pips ________ ________ Do nothing
+300 pips ________ ________ 150 pips (50% of 300 pips)
+400 pips ________ ________ 200 pips (50% of 400 pips)
+500 pips ________ ________ 250 pips (etc etc etc)
+600 pips ________ ________ 300 pips
etc
Example2:
StartProfitLockAt(BEGIN)=450
lock percent level (LEVEL)= 50%
TrailingLockEvery(STEP)=180

profit ________ ________Lock Profit at:
<450 pips ________ ________ Do nothing
+450 pips ________ ________ 225 pips
+630 pips ________ ________ 315 pips
+810 pips ________ ________ 405 pips
+990 pips ________ ________ 495 pips
etc

{quote} Thank you for the update! Unfortunately ReverseAll is still not working on v42. With 'None' selected, trades open up correctly when I press open basket. With 'ReverseAll' selected, nothing happens when I click open basket. The only filter I applied was the candle color filter. The reverse function works okay without the candle color filter.
mugenpips: A YES THE GREAT REVERSALL!!! LOL

BEFORE YOU DO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RE-DOWNLOAD THE EA

Well I test it just a while ago on BOTH MT4 and MT5 and no issues. So this is what I want you to do. Set the PrintDebugInfo=TRUE (this will let you test it quicker and yes even with the market closed too). Show the EXPERT LOG so you can capture images of what is printed.

Set the PrintDebugInfo=TRUE
Load EA
Capture image of CHART and EXPERT LOG so I can see the lists of trades on both parts.

NEXT
Go To INPUTS
Set the REVERSALL option
Now Capture again both CHART and EXPERT LOG ( you should see the list with reversed operations)

IF you see it working don't send me anything , when the market opens run the EA with the PrintDebugInfo=true and REVERSEALL set... then once you get the list in the EXPERT LOG, click on the OPEN BASKET button... you should see the same number of paris with the same operations as is in the expert log. That will confirm that it is working.

Otherwise we'll have to see what is going on.

Below are some images of what I did... this was done on MT5, MT4 will show similar lists. Oh and there it is on the third chart ... the reversed trades

{quote} Hello Jess, And thank you for your new version great man!! I really like the new VB features and the first test I made opened fine and went quickly in profit with few pairs. My question is about trend filter and RB: 1. After the RB is opened then it has sorted as per trend filter settings - but what if the right conditions is met later on and the symbol is still in the trade suggestions will EA then open / add this to the RB ?? 2. It seems that it don't add new trades when use color trend filter and new trades in Trade Suggestions set...
janus64:
The ALLOW NEW TRADES input tells the EA to add new trades that have appeared in the suggested list and that have pass any filters you activate. After the filter(s) is(are) applied the remaining trades MUST BE TOTALLY NEW. So no duplicates will appear in the real basket. Hedges (opposites) MIGHT happen,but that would take some time for the market to cause that. Well I don't know, it may happen alot when u are using lower TimeFrames on the indicator.

So lets pretend that YOU are the EA. LOL
You already have an open REAL BASKET and are monitoring that and you are also monitoring the Trade Suggestion List.
This REAL BASKET has for example 3 trades:
REAL BASKET ==> EURUSD BUY, GBPUSD SELL, AUDUSD BUY.

After 2 hours YOU(EA) see that the Trade Suggestion list has changed and now has two more suggested trades that were not there before.
You then apply whatever filters you were ask to apply and get a PROCESSED list of pairs that qualify to be opened:
PROCESSED LIST ==> EURUSD BUY, GBPUSD SELL, AUDUSD BUY, AUDCHF SELL, USDJPY BUY.

You then go to the REAL BASKET and loop thru each symbol. You discard any of the PROCESSED LIST trades that are already OPENED in the REAL BASKET.
Only the NEW trades are then OPENED.
NEW TRADES ADDED to REAL BASKET: AUDCHF SELL, USDJPY BUY.

The RESULT is that the REAL BASKET now has 5 pairs:
REAL BASKET ==> EURUSD BUY, GBPUSD SELL, AUDUSD, BUY AUDCHF SELL, USDJPY BUY.

Got it? Now when testing look for the work "added" in the comments part of the EXPERT log. See the image below. IT IS JUST AN EXAMPLE of what to look for in the EXPERT LOG.

So set it up all again. let the EA open a real basket, and wait till you see a totally NEW trade in the list and then see if the EA added it to an existing REAL BASKET.

Jess

Hello Jess and thank you for your explaination - I think I got it LOL..

I can see in your image that it had added new trades but

I wanted to test: Does VB work and filter and open correct pairs and then later on add existing pairs and new pair.s I tested on different CMSM TF and different color trend TF. VB worked fine as expected but it did not add new trades (I have mention that in the old version too) to RB later on. SO I choosed the lowest CMSM M5 TF and color TF H4 to get so many new trades suggestions as possible (trust me I got a lot lol) and let it run for long time - it did not add new trades - but I saw qualified pair which should be opened. Are there any delays from CMSM to trademonitor which can effect this?.
Can you check my settings if I do anything wrong, my setfiles from previous post.
Thanks Jess
Regards

janus64:
No there are no delays. Every second the EA takes a "snapshot" of the text that is on the screen and grabs what it needs (hit ctrl-B to see the text that is captured).

I think there may be a miss communication as to what you expect to see and what the EA is doing. The new trades are ONLY looked for AFTER a real basket is triggered. It almost seems that you are expecting the vb to be updated as new signals appear.... I think that is what I am reading from your posts... please expand on that .

So test it this way. Setup the EA with AllowNewTrades=true , hit the OPEN TRADES button. So now you will have a REAL BASKET. Then wait to see if a new trade appears in the suggestion list and if so that it has been added to the REAL BASKET.

If I am still miss understanding how you are testing this.. please elaborate .

Thnx
Jess

PS: The image of the "added" trade I posted was an example. Just wanted to illustrate what to expect in the comments field of an added trade .. So ignore the chart

EA MT5 UPDATE.

For all you MT5 lovers this is for you LOL.

xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v10.ex5

I took a further look at the 4805 error and I think I have figured out the issue. It has to do with TF and how it is used to call up functions from MT5.

I did some changed to that and also places a print statment for in case the error happens we have exact info where and what etc etc.

So please download this one and remove v9.

What about the VB trigger function?
If you set true the "treat VB as RealBasket function and you put true also the "only allow vb trade with +profit" function does that affect the Trigger function? Or tey remane independent?

Marco: Hello!

Nope, the trigger setting is not affected in any way what so ever. Think about it. The EA MONITORS the profit of the whole vb basket. Once the whole vb basket profit reaches the trigger then a real basket is opened. The "only allow vb trade with +profit" pertains to what vb pairs will be opened in the real basket. The idea being that by the time the trigger is hit you will be opened a real basket with trades that are already agreeing with the trend or direction that the indicator and other filters calculated.

"What are you testing for "min +pips to allow VB trade"?"
This allows the user to select what threshold the vb trades need to be greater than in order to allow them to be opened onto the real basket. I added this so users could have a choice. Otherwise, if this input was not available, you would be stuck with the condition of only allowing positive profit vb trades onto the real basket.

salimc:
Read the 1st post... so u can get an idea of what the core approach is. The EA is only a monitor, it monitors the indicators that provide a list of suggested trades.

Then click on the paper clip and look for the following:

1. My lastest post, this will have the latest EA versions. Look for the file called POST_WITH_EA_UPGRADE.txt Just go to the latest

2. MRDFX's latest set file. Sort the user column so you can then see the separate users. Go thru each page till you reach MRDFX. Once there then look for the latest post with his set file.

3. Do the same for Pippopotamus. In one of his posts he provides the post on which he provides all of the indicators he uses.

You will then have one EA. the indicators you need, and two set files. Now you can try either set file to see which one is your preference

Good luck
