Jess,

Okay here is what I have.
Basically it's still behaving the way it used to like it did in the previous versions.

When candle color trend filter is applied it doesn't seem to work.

Below are screenshots of no reverse vs. reverseall.
Both are with candle color trend filter set to true.

Can I ask you a question, why do you want the trade suggestions to be reversed anyway? We have a proven winning strategy with the given trade suggestions. Trust me I’ve been around this thread for about 1.5 years. What your doing has been tested already and if it was a proven winner we would know about it.

AAAH!! Now I understand what you mean LOL!!. The reverse works it works FINE BUT you are noticing that the reversed candles are not jiving with the CANDLE FILTER!!!

OK let me study your images and I will go back to see what the code does.

What I am thinking is this.. The trades are reversed BEFORE they are traded. So that MIGHT mean that all filters where already applied.
You know what I mean?? BUt let me look exactly what what you show and and then I will see what the EA does. I will explain to you the logic and then we can take from there.

During all this time, we have encountered these types of SITUATIONS. IT comes down to what is logical to do. You see no one (That I know of) has done this type of processing with baskets. We are dealing with areas that no trader thinks about. At the least I did not see this happening on 3 other basket threads that I was involved in. They only dealt with the basket as a whole. Their method for protecting the basket was using one simple equity value... they do not have a trailing function like we do.. So it's natural that these questions about the way this EA processes these baskets happens, cause we are doing stuff that no trader or coder has done with baskets.

Heck there is more we can do.. but I am not going to say, cause then that means never completing the project LOL!!!

BTW FIX YOUR FONTS:

ea-fonts.zip

Download that file and unzip the contents into the directory
C:\WNDOWS\FONTS

IF you cannot find that folder then google for "where are the fonts on my 'system' (Where 'system' can be windows 10, linux,,, etc).

OK mugenpips!! I examined your images... and guess what, the REVERSEALL is working!! LOL I have not looked at the code but by your testing I can tell that it is working... HERE IS WHY:

first scenario...
1. FILTER CANDLE COLOR (D1,W1) is set to true and the REVERSEALL=NONE. So candle D1=LONG, candle W1=LONG but all 3 pairs are SHORT. SO NO TRADES

2. FILTER CANDLE COLOR (D1,W1) is set to true and the REVERSEALL=ALL. So candle D1=LONG, candle W1=LONG but all 3 pairs are no BUY. SO YEA ALL TRADES

Mugs... you see... the very first thing after the EA gets the pairs does is, reverse them. Then after the reverse the candle color filters are applied.
So what did you think the EA was supposed to do? When do the trades get reversed? AFTER the Candle color filter?? We had this debate back in v13 I think and it was agreed that the first thing that was to be done was to reverse the trades and then apply the filters.

So please comment . If you think the reverse should happen AFTER the filters.... give a reason for it. A LOGICAL reason LOL. IF you have data that shows that this increases profit, that would be like TOTALLY AWESOME... LOL

PEACE and dont stress man. USE what you have and MAKE $$$$

Hi @xmess, i tried it this morning on eurusd as mentioned above on the new version without any luck:

2018.10.15 09:37:57.195 xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v10 (EURUSD,M1) array out of range in 'xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v10.mq5' (4182,24)

i then cleared the chart completely & added the indi & ea - everything seems to be working now. will monitor when the basket opens at 9 gmt

thanks again for the hard work getting this version out for us mt5 guys

EDIT:
2018.10.15 11:02:51.070 xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v10 (EURUSD,M1) array out of range in 'xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v10.mq5' (4182,24)

I've gone back to v7 for now

blankman: Buddy ya gotta show me more. Like what your preset.. did you try and set the PrintDebugInfo=true? That prints alot of info to the log that can help us.

Anyway. If you selected "Sort Suggested Pairs by Strength"=true, then make that false and try it for now.
This is what happened... now you have a different problem . Instead if it being with the prefix/suffix not being caught this time the issue is that the array of the strength is not right. SO I need to find out why. But in the mean time set that to false and let me know it works..

EA update v43 (MT4) and v11(MT5)

v43 (MT4)
xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v43.ex4

v11(MT5)
xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v11.ex5

Fixes "Sort Pair by Strength"
Fix updated code to fix the issue that BlankMan was seeing.
Issue: When "Sort Pair by Strength" is set to true the EA would attempt to get the number values that are seen on the chart and use them to determine strength.
The EA was not getting the correct information and would send an error.

Please update

Thnx

blankman: Good.. now try the update LOL. if you still have problems do the same thing with the new version. Set "Sort Suggested Pairs by Strength" to false.
Either way let me know if you had no issues when the EA opened a basket..

Monday Basket: -10%

OK folks now I am using CMSM v17.01, I am all updated too LOL.
Oh and to keep things as they have been decided to change the stop from -7 to 10% as it is originally.

So with these 3 straight losses, then what I will do is stop trading. I will resume trading in a couple of weeks when whatever is cause this trend to possible stop.
I believe this is what happened last time. In that run that I had back around Feb or March 2017. I had a similar situation and I stopped.
All good and all part of trading.

Hello Jess,

Welcome on board CMSM V17

I can see you don't use the recommended settings by Granda?? Do you have good test result with these settings??

Someone asked me a while back why I use a VB for the weekly basket?

Well today is a perfect example of exactly why I use a VB.

Saved myself a 10% loss today thanks to the VB.

Yup different start time is a biggie, plus you are using L2 not L4 like me.

Another thing is different broker data feeds, that can also make a difference sometimes.

FILTER CANDLE COLOR (D1,W1) is set to true and the REVERSEALL=ALL. So candle D1=LONG, candle W1=LONG but all 3 pairs are no BUY. SO YEA ALL TRADES Mugs... you see... the very first thing...
I see now.. I knew the EA was reversing the trades before the filter and this didn't make sense to me so I thought it was a mistake but guess not. Here's why I think trades should be reversed after the filters:

IMO any given filter we have can generate an infinite number of strategy variations.
With the current ReverseAll's logic, the feature only acts as another 'filter/setting/variation' just adding to the infinite variations we already have. Hence, less desired.
However with my suggested logic it doesn't function as a filter but rather provides somewhat like an 'alternative choice' to choose from our 'final refined settings' (weekly_set).

For example, depending on how you use the Reversall feature (my suggested logic), today could have been a winning day instead of being a losing / non-trading day (VB users). But with the current logic the feature wouldn't have any influence on the setup we have, it would just only be 'another setup'.

Often times when I observe the "min pips" and "max pips" I noticed that the basket goes in one direction, whether it's negative or positive. (See images)
I feel like we should be able to trade these situations when baskets are going south also. To some it may be "catching a falling knife", but to me it's just more opportunity, being able to ride the wave regardless of its direction. It can help those with FOMO problem too LOL.

So this is a very rough idea of my strategy/logic. Hopefully you can see the appeal of it.
Values / settings are to be fine tuned later..
1. Open two EAs.
2. One EA will be your normal default "weekly set". The VB trigger set to positive 20 pips / negative 0.
3. The other EA will be the same setting except for two things. Set to ReverseAll, and the VB trigger to negative 100 pips / positive 0.
4. Since we have a proven method just keep the original TP/SL for the regular weekly setup, but something like a 50 pip TP/SL (1:1) for the reverseall EA.

The SSs below that were provided by various users(file names) on this thread including yourself is the best data I am able to to provide.
You can see by implementing my 'rough strategy' all these non-trading/losing weeks in the SSs would've been winning weeks including today.

No real difference with the mt5 preset othet than setting the Hour Mark to 3 hours with closing the basket with or without profit ..
The mt5 has the same number and type as does the mt4 inputs.
