My GAP trades just finished up for the day with 2 closed baskets.

DD was a little heavy but this was not a good day for GAPs, just wanted to see what it would do by itself on all 28 pairs using the swing TS to enter the trades.

Used basket equity lock of 100/50.

Ignore the version number as this is a test DB for future release and is only partly done.

Just shut everything down for the day and will restart with new baskets a couple hours after the new day starts.

Will do the GAPs again next Sunday night when the new week starts again.

A little late on the shut down, i usually stop around noon CST or so.

Not bad with the 2 RSI baskets and the GAP trades I ended up with 530 pips in about 14 hours or so and I didn't even touch a thing, just let her rip.

Maybe just got lucky. LOL

{quote} Red pairs are oversold so you should be looking for a buy. Green pairs are over bought and you would be looking for a sell. Also you need to know what the pair P/L was at the time of the add too was taken, it was probably positive and has since gone negative. I am having no problem with the add too.
I concur that the Add-to function appears to operating correctly on my Baskets as well, my red P/L pairs (at the time of add) do not get an add-to. Also it can be a little dangerous to run your baskets past the end of day when the spread get large as the market slows down for a few hours, this is because the basket don't trade if spreads are out of range, so anything could happen during this period.

I'm not convinced the new HeatMap calculations in v2s are better than the ones in v1, I seem to get more pairs selected with v2s on the Daily HM filter than I would expect. I will be conducting some parallel test to see if my suspicions are correct, and report back my findings. I have closed down both my HAS60+60HM and DM60+1440HM both deep in DD sea of red. Start again tomorrow on Asian open with a parallel run of DM60+1440HM, to see how results compare. Update: V1 vs V2 1440HM {image} {image} I made some setup errors on my Basket tests (conflicting...
Thank you for this will test HAS30 with 30HM and without throughout the week and share my results. Also starting on swing basket trading which seems to be taking us to a whole new exciting level all the best

Great looks like some good features coming. My GAP test was stuffed up with a second terminal trading on the same account, so I have no idea what the results may have been on 30min TF. Can I ask what settings you had for the Swing TS in this case?

The spreads only affect entries, exits will always take place if ones are set up and they are hit, they over ride everything.

Swing settings

DB D1
Charts H1
Swing trailing SL = .5
Everything else false as I was using a Equity Lock of 50/100 in the DB which was on a daily chart.
I forgot to turn on the stop after 1 basket, that is why I ended up with 2, but it turned out OK.
In the past I never traded small GAPs, but seeing I was using the swing TS I thought I would let it make the decision as to what to trade, so this was very similar to a regular swing basket trade but using the EL in the DB.

I also set the Max spread at 7 in the DB, rather than the 2 I normally use.

I always close down before noon CST as I do not like to trade when a new day starts and I have trades open. I have watched in the past when a day switch over happens and have seen the spread jump causing the Ask to also go with it and hit my stop loss and close trades that would have never closed as the price line shown on the chart never went there. EAs do not read the price of the gray line on the chart, they receive the price from the Broker and I have seen the Bid price come back as the Ask and the EA which uses this Bid price which is now the ask will cause SL to get hit. When you look at the chart you think something is wrong with the EA because the price on the chart never hit your SL, but when you look at the account history you can see exactly what happened.

So a word of caution, watch out when the day changes to the next day, you may even want to turn off the Auto Trading button for a time around this period if your still in trades.

Here is a sneak peak at version 4 of the DB that should be out in a week or so, here is whats new.

1) GAP button that will show the pairs and the pips they have GAPed, this is a daily GAP and should be used at the start the a new week. As you can it is now showing today's GAO not the start of the week, that's why it is so small. I posted previously what the start of the weeks GAPs were. This is just a list that you then pick the ones you want to trade and how to trade them.

2)Market Direction: This is the bar chart directly below the buttons and shows the combination of the 28 pairs what is the general combined direction based on the days open of each pair. You can turn this on/off with the MD Button.

3) Looking at the HM Bar Graph you can see by the names which pairs are up from the open or down from the open by the name color. This goes along with the MD bar chart.

4) The Market Direction Button works like the HM button where as the second time you click it the B/S buttons will now act as a filter based on which direction the pair is moving .

5) You will also be able to use a combination of the HM and Market Direction to trade pairs, 3rd click of the HM button and 2nd click of MD button. Now the MD will be the final filter and the HM will be the trigger for the entry and if it matches the MD filter you will get a trade.

That's about it, just a few more tools to hopefully help you pick the best pairs to trade.

Thank you for the details of your setup. Looks good.

Yes I agree about trading during the end of Day cross over to Asian session, best to close down before that starts. That's why I like One n Done, win or lose.

Ahh.. spreads only affect Entry, I stand corrected, I now know why my Basket prices were not moving I had my session times set to not trade during the daily crossover, silly me.

Your session times should not affect the chart prices, they should update just like any other chart. They are updated by the indicator that is on the DB chart, so if it is running they should up date, of course the tics coming into the DB chart will affect how active this indicator is. If the offline chart is not being updated open this DB indicator and click OK to give it a kick start if it has stopped updating.

Just for fun with the new DB I am testing I set the daily price direction from the open as a filter and used the HM H1 to trigger any trades that match and it closed a $25 basket at .01 lots. I will start it back up and just let it keep taking $20 baskets and see what it will do, but that first basket surprised me as it finished in less than one hour, will see what it will do when the market gets into gear later on.

Hmm... I will have to recheck about the session times, it may have been no tics I will have to check it again as to why there was no new candles being shown on the offline chart at that time of day and the TS not processing.

Interesting results with some of the new options, I expect the market just kept going that same direction long enough to create that profit.

Based on Seller9's settings post#2347, I had a nice result today trading all Pairs 1hr Chart, Swing TS. Ignore the ST/TD counts I had to restart the DB half way through. Also I set EL to 70/40 which was not correct for lot size 0.01, should have been 7/4 and looks like higher gap would be better say 12/6 or 16/8. What I did instead was manually adjust the Equity TP and SL value to squeeze as much as could out of the trade (about 460pips):

Hi some test samples of HAS 2/4/2/8 30M TP 0.1 and 0.2 with HM30 & without HM30 there seems to be some indication HM has an impact but of course only more sampling will tell. Seems if I don't set Go for Profit no further trades will be placed after 'Basket Closed by -Equity' which I guess is what you would mean by One n Done - win or lose.

Hi Gene thanks for sharing great stuff. Just starting to learn more about RSI swing basket trading. Here are two significantly different results I got from yesterday and today - apologies forgot to take screen shots from corresponding charts. By looking at other results published here, it seems if the swing is successful (and mostly are) the trades have very limited DD and the DB equity is in the green and growing from early on. However where/how should the stop loss be placed if the trades reverse like in the second screen shot? I assume there is normally no quick recovery once we hit the deep red in this strategy. Hope this makes sense. Thanks.

Your screen shots don't make any sense to me, in the second one you say RSI basket but you have trades on almost all 28 pairs.

The RSI picks are different.

Sorry yes something went clearly wrong with my setups. I need to ramp up here. In the meantime if there is any recommendation on managing stop loss on a proper routine setup would be great to know thanks

If you check out Eugene's video on Basket trading and the Swing TS he talks about how to set up TSL, SL and TP on the Basket TS Chart. You can also use the DashBoard Equity SL, TP and ESL in a similar manner on the Swing TS and the other Basket TS's.

The Swing TS has a built in trailing SL that you can set to a % of the trading Box which I normally set to 0.4 or 0.5. Once the Swing Basket trade is underway and starts to have some profit I manually bring in the TSL to a tighter position to protect profits or reduce lose if not looking too good.

For the other Basket TS's HASv1s, HASv2s and BOv1s (or even Swing), you can use a combination of ESL, Basket TP and Basket SL on the DashBoard to control how big profits and loses are.

How far to set the Basket SL is always a question, depends on your DD tolerance and we need plenty of space to allow price to move around with baskets in particular. I think you are better to trade with small lots 0.1 or less, the bigger the basket the smaller I would make the lot size.
