{quote} Did you run a comparison using the weekly signals since those are the signals we have been using?
Yes I am running weekly comparisons, but its too soon to say anything as I don't have enough data as yet.
Truth is like poetry. And most people f*cking hate poetry.

mrdfx seems like you had a good run, at least this past week

sorry if you have already been asked this but have your daily 17.01 settings already been posted before or are these new daily settings that you are currently refining?

thanks, blam

So this week I ran a head to head comparison of v17.01 and v19.01 with my daily settings to see the difference, and quite a difference it was! So far v17.01 had better results, but of course further testing is needed. {image} {image}

{quote} rav5612: " After some time many wrong trades were closed ... " ?? Could you explain what you mean but "wrong" trade? The EA you are mentioning handles all open trades whether they were opened by this EA, manually, or by another EA. Remember we are dealing with a BASKET not with the individual trades. That EA deals with individual trades. That is fine if you are interesting in controlling MM at that level. But for the basket level.. nope it's a different beast. So how can this EA be useful for calculating STOPLOSS/TAKEProfit if we already...
This is because I have seen, if I leave everything to your EA, that some operations are badly negative and so I used the RONZ to put on all the operations a SL of 30 pips. By doing so many operations close, but your EA does not take it into account. I was wondering if it was possible to implement the counting of transactions closed in the calculation of the basket profit (or for the Stop Loss).

The ea has an old input that handles individual trades and u can also set trailing stops per trade. Is that what u r referring to? I can turn it back on so i can try it out

These trades were entered on the 4h time frame but of course after 1/3 of more time after candle formation to allow PA sync for better results.. For example on an 4 hr candle we have 4*60 =240 mins.

1/3*240=80 mins. This means u will have to sit on your hands for the next 80 mins or for an hour and twenty minutes. Last evening my candle formed at 17;00 hrs local time (+3 GMT). So I entered at 18:20 hrs.local time

The results were quite impressive as seen below. Big up to all the key guys behind the engineering of this thread. Xmess, ##csm momentum creator to name a few. Thank u guys, u rock.

Hi Xmess7, I hope trade mode Monthly is not going to be removed as atleast weekly and monthly has better performance in long run. Is there any possibility to be able to set to trade only within certain hours let's say between 10:00 - 15:00. Even if "if new trades appear on list add to basket" is true, the trade should not be taken by EA ? Thank you!
Kobra:
Hi don't recall if I answered your question but here goes:

You can set the open hour to HH:mm-HH2:mm, If you see the inputs it will tell you so .

That should do what you want it to do.

Damn I wanted to remove this ... it just causes confusion .

PS: I just saw your comment.. I plan to remove the Monthly trade mode. Are you using it?

OK folks version 45 is just about done. Based on the feedback I am going to remove/change the following:

1. REMOVE PercentOfProfit selection from TRAIL STOP section. This one has alot of newbies really confused. I

2. CHANGE the way the 1st trail is applied. In the TRAIL STOP selection for the remaining part which is also called TrailStop. The first trail would now be a break even (+1% or +3 pips) instead of the trail stop. This gives the basket more room move on that first trail, after that the regular trail stop is applied as the basket increases.

3. REMOVE input DisableBasketCloseWarnings (currenttly default is false). This will allow the EA to immediately start closing trades without having to ask when you hit the close button. Originally I had placed this in there to help avoid mistakes but based on performance the only way you can make a mistake is if you are drinking beer and start click away with the mouse on the screen LOL.

5. Remove the ALERTS SETTING section

8. Remove SET HOUR MARK TO CLOSE BASKET section. I added this and found it not to be that usefull


Comments? Let me know ... v45 here we come

V17.01 or V19.01?
  • #15,671
  • Nov 17, 2018 12:11am Nov 17, 2018 12:11am
Jess,

Is there a TP/SL setting that will automatically change depending on how many trades are open? If for example I want the TP to be 50 pips per open trade, if there are 5 open trades, the TP would only be 250 pips. Because if I fix the TP to 500, it may take a hard time to reach 500 pips if there are only 5 open trades compared to if there are 10 open trades.

Hi xmess7,

Thank you for the feedback and efforts!

Yes, I am but if you have to remove it because of specific reason then i can always use an older version.

I read post 14887 where you described how EA choose trades out of two indicators.

if i may ask, is it possbile that EA choose only pairs with the same direction out of two indicators and everything else is ignored.

indicator 1: Buy EURUSD Sell USDJPY
indicator 2: Buy EURUSD Sell AUDCAD

How to accomplish EA choose only trade Buy EURUSD and continues to choose same direction pairs during whole trading hour ?
Or this is out of the scope of this EA ?

mrdfx, you use Weekly Time frame for daily trading

When a currency strength indicator suggests to buy a symbol for TimeFrame=Weekly; it doesn't mean that symbol's daily close price would always be higher than it's daily open price for every single working day of the week.

This is the correct interpretation;
When CMSM suggests to buy a symbol for TimeFrame=Weekly, it means that symbol's weekly candle close price would most probably be higher than weekly candle open price.

So in other words,
Monday could be green,
Tuesday could be green,
Wednesday could be red;
Thursday could be red,
Friday could be green

But in the end Friday close price would be higher than Monday open price. This is what CMSM promises.

Could you please try TimeFrame=Daily for your daily trades. (wait at least 8 hours before opening trades) You would get better results.

Ok for this feature. But i asked for the count of the closed trades. Has anyone ever closed some individual operations when they went very badly? If the EA could count these closings could be an important addon for me. Thanks

Hi grandaevus,

Could you kindly explain if possible to understand :

in V17.01, we are using for example H1

Moving average (3, 5, MODE_EMA, Price_weighted)
Moving Average x (1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 24)

I understand we are looking for fast MA of 3 days and slow MA of 5 days.

what is the role of MA multiplier ?
what would be the difference if i would use instead (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1) ?

I understand that by choosing smaller MA value, we would detect MA price faster.

what is if we want to detect MA of let's 9 fast and 21 slow. would multiplier be still the same ?

Thank you!

By using MovingAverageMultiplier=PeriodMultiplier, you extend the search depth of CMSM;

TimeFrame=H1
Period (3,5) x MovingAverageMultiplier(1,2,3,4,8,12,24)

MovingAverageMultiplier = 1 , Period would be (3,5) = Base Period = 1 Hour
MovingAverageMultiplier = 2 , Period would be (6,10) = 2 Hours
MovingAverageMultiplier = 3 , Period would be (9,15) = 3 Hours
MovingAverageMultiplier = 4 , Period would be (12,20) = 4 Hours
MovingAverageMultiplier = 8 , Period would be (24,40) = 8 Hours
MovingAverageMultiplier = 12 , Period would be (36,60) = 12 hours
MovingAverageMultiplier = 24 , Period would be (72,120) = 24 hours = 1 Day

Thank you for the feedback and explanation!

so in TF=1, period (3,5) indicates "3 fast and 5 slow MA days" or "3 and 5 hours" ?

if it is days - if i would experiment to look for longer period of days let's say 9 and 21 in either TF=H1 or TF=D1 with
respective multiplier. would the output of indicator be correct meaning shows respective chosen period ?
