v19.01 weekly test comparison did not rigger today. Suggested pairs got caught on the opposite side today it seems. v17.01 is open and still active. {image}
I noticed the basket in a range so after 3.5 hrs I decided to close it.
Next week here we come!

I'm running the same basket in demo for my comparison tests and half an hr later it hit TP! Argghhhhhh
Its always a fine line whether to leave the basket to do its thing or to intervene manually. Today was not the day to intervene, anyhooooo.

Is your lot size still 0.01/100?
Mine is 0.01/200, my TP and SL are half of yours.

{quote} Tim: First of all you should be using v44. Second are you sure the EA is opening trades? Check the Comments field to see if new trades are opening from the EA. Also post your settings. Aside from Allow New Trades there are two other inputs that would tell the EA to continue opening trades (Flip Signal If TradeOpposite and Allow OverLap of another basket). This EA feature is pretty much standard in that once a basket is created, its done, no more opening trades unless told to do so. I assume the other manager is taking into account the correct...
Hi xmess7
I think there is an error in v44. The "hours:minutes vbasket remains open" input doesn't seem to be working. The vbasket continues to run after the daily basket closing time if the basket wasn't triggered, even though this was set to "0.0" (I tried 0:00, 0, 00:00, 0.0, nothing worked). Perhaps the input variable type is wrong?
Another issue I faced (in a previous version, v40.4) when using the vb to trigger a basket was, if a basket was triggered, when it came to basket closing time, I had a couple of times when the basket was triggered closed literally 1-2 seconds before the daily closing time I set (e.g. 18:59:58), and the VB managed to trigger a second basket at 18:59:59, and then when the actual set daily basket closing time reaches at 19:00:00, the second basket closes. So I end up trading 2 baskets
which is obviously not ideal lol. Is there anyway this can be solved? Perhaps you could set the basket to close 2 seconds after the set time instead of before (I'm not sure what is coded so..) or maybe have an input for the vb to close 2 or whatever minutes before the actual set daily basket closing time?And of course, really appreciate all your hard work in this. Thank you so much

Running your settings on a demo account with FXPro, I don't seem to have got anywhere near the same results from today. Any idea why? Is it the broker?
Thanks
Jon

Hi Marshall:
1st please post your preset or indicate which one you are using. Need to see what you are setting up.
2nd it is not clear what is transpiring in your first situation. Did the vbasket trigger a real basket? why are you messing around with the input "hours:minutes vbasket remains open"? The default of 00:00 will suffice and with that any vbasket that HAS NOT TRIGGERED a real basket will be reset (closed) when the instant a new GMT DAY happens.
Its been more than a year since I tested this, so I am going to run more tests to see if I get the same issues you are experiencing.
In brif be carefull when messing around with the "hours:minutes vbasket remains open". If you don't use it just leave it at 00:00 or no text. This input was not intended for use of the original strategy. It is an input that another user had requested so he could control the amount of time a vbasket remained open IF NO REAL BASKET WAS TRIGGERED.
As it stands if you do not use this input the EA will "close" any open vbasket that DID NOT TRIGGER a vbasket at the beginning of a new GMT DAY. This will only happen if you are starting a vbasket real late during the GMT DAY. Usually, that I have seen, we are done with trading before 14:00 GMT.
Now IF YOU DO enter any numbers into this input then the EA will keep the vBasket open during the duration of Hours and Minutes you stipulate. I made the format hours:minutes cause it was shorter notation than hours and minutes. For example if you want the duration to be 65 minutes you enter 01:05 ==> 1hour and 5 minutes. which is 65 minutes.
SECOND QUESTION ANSWER:As far as v40.4 never really had anyone experience what you have pointed out. So with that said stick to v44. IF you see this happen in v44 let me know and I will conduct several tests...
Thnx for the feedback. Like I mentioned in a previous post, I want to make sure the EA is working properly... cause once I am done. I do not intend on servicing it anymore.... I will just be a normal real trader

Wednesday's Basket (Sorry for the late reply, extremely busy day...
MT4 EA v44
Indicator CMSM v17.01: level 2@ PERIOD_W1, MA(3,5,MODE_EMA,PRICE_WEIGTHED). MA x [1,2,3,4,6,12]]
Result: -9.34%
Reason: Error on my part, I forgot to set my maxtrade to 7 trades. My vps restarted last nite and I reloaded EAs but forgot my preset did not have that set. So I got a lot more trades (bad ones lol ) added to the basket and those guys drove the basket down like real fast ....lol
Otherwise would of ended up like MRDFX with a similar result.
No worries... its my mistake nothing to really do with the market this time
