I am not sure what am I doing wrong but these are the results on my live account and using Yohec settings- {image} And this is the screenshot using drfx settings - {image} Both are in heavy drawdown
Why do you have the basket open? It should open at 15:10 gmt if you use yohecs settings.
You must practice the strategies and the work with the ea in demo first. Only if you feel save trading in demo you should try doing it live.

The basket should not have opened yet. As I write this, the current time is Tuesday 13:00 GMT. The basket should open at 15:10 GMT.

Thanks @blankman, @yohec, @thomas1386, @KonstantinSt for responding guys, really appreciate it.

The thing which has really confused me is the use of virtual basket and how to use it. Can someone please direct me to the post where this is explained.

So in essence apart from the settings, the timing is very important for opening baskets and the results differ for different timed baskets.

Also, KonstantinSt your results are impressive, though still very early to say anything conclusive. Do you mind sharing your set file on this forum, I would also like to test your settings.

I would also like to contribute to this thread as well by testing and posting my results.

Wow I had to close both baskets one with Yohec setting and the other with drfx settings with a total loss of approx ~ 25% of my real account Not happy at all Can someone explain if these are usual results or if there is something wrong with the way i have interpreted the system?
You are not using my preset.

Firstly you are trading with the indicator set to daily not weekly, you are not using the VB, and also your open time is not correct.

My preset is for trading weekly not daily and uses VB.

Perhaps you need to read a lot more to learn about this strategy before jumping to trading on your live account something you don't fully understand.
Truth is like poetry. And most people f*cking hate poetry.

[quote=mrdfx;11749590]Its great to see multiple successful approaches to this strategy emerging. Some of us have been here for nearly 2 years testing all kinds of crazy set ups, and things are working out well. By utilizing all these approaches together we can put together a kind of "portfolio" of all these approaches, and make a good monthly total profit. This is also the final week of my daily basket test (finally!) and after compiling all the data I will hopefully have a set up to trade daily making +5-
10% per week which we can add to the portfolio of different approaches. Great work guys! [/quote


looking forward to testing out your results MRDFX. Thanks

So much has happened since my last post ... congratulations to all for your hard work ... WOW how things have progressed ...
This old strategy (FIFO 50 pips a day) seems insignificant these days but if it aint broke then why change it?
First published approx 18 months ago, the target was an still is 50 pips a day, strategy Post 7140, time changed for London to 10:10 GMT to coincide with new H4 candle ...

Hi xmess7,

Could I please ask you to test and confirm in regard to OpenHour once you have some time over ?

Acc. to EA, OpenHour ("HH:mm" or "HH:mm-HH:mm" or "HH:mm,HH1:mm,HH2:mm..".

If I set OpenHours for example 10:00, it seems working.
If I set OpenHour for example 10:00-14:00, it seems working.
If I set OpenHour for multiple sessions for example 10:00, 14:00, 16:00 or 10:00-12:00,14:00-16:00,.. it works with opening first session but
keeps jumping over the next sessions over and over by showing next session without triggering the virtual basket.

Is concept of opening session for example 10:00-12:00,14:00-16:00,.. included in this EA ?
If not, would it be possible to include it ?

Reason behind is to have EA working in different session between certain hours in case there are no open trades.

If I choose only 10:00, virtual basket triggers but after some time it is not updating the basket continuously while this is not the case when Open hour is
for example 10:00-12:00.


Thank you!

According to the new entry strategy, I opened VB1 on Tuesday at 15:10 GMT, with positive trigger at +40 pips and negative trigger at -300 pips. RB1 opened at 15:37 GMT after hitting positive trigger.

When RB1 opened, I opened manually VB2 with a trigger setting of -300 pips.

I closed my RB1 manually at 17:15 GMT for +152 pips. I generally exit earlier with less than 10 positions. It is still a good profit.

Hi Yohec,

When you mention "When RB1 opened, I opened manually VB2 with a trigger setting of -300 pips", you mean in another chart EA, you set "vBasketLower Trigger Level" to 300, just in case if there will be a DD, to open an second new real basket ?

And if first 300 would be triggered first, you would in another chart EA, set "vBasketUpper Trigger Level" to 40 ?

I've read your posts and your communication with others, 300 is based on your past statistical experience ?

Roughly based on what I've experienced, if it does not turn back from around 200, DD will be go further than 300.

Thank you!

You can read my Post #13,317 to show how I had been using the system. Note that 14:10 GMT is for summer months (daylight savings time). It will be 15:10 GMT the rest of the year.

This is what I do now:

1. Open a VB on Tuesday 15:10 GMT, instead of a RB. The VB1 will have positive trigger setting of +40 pips, negative trigger as follows:

# of positions: 6 or less, Trigger level: -200 pips
# of positions: 7 to 10, Trigger level: -300 pips
# of positions: 11 to 14, Trigger level: -400 pips
# of positions: 15 or more, Trigger level: -500 pips

2. After RB1 is opened either by positive or negative trigger, open VB2. VB2 will only have a negative trigger as outlined in Step 1.

3. If RB1 closes before VB2 triggers a basket, cancel VB2. Trading is finished for the week.

4. If 2 baskets are open, I monitor the baskets for a manual close. Once the combined total from both baskets is break even, I am prepared to close both baskets.

I do not have a good automated system to close when 2 baskets are open. This is where one has to personalize the system. Since I want to have all of my baskets closed before Friday morning, I will be more likely to close both baskets at a small profit or break even on a Thursday. On a Wednesday, I will likely keep the baskets open hoping for a larger profit.

My set file is shown in Post #13,314.

Thank you yohec for the clarification and time !

The set file in post you’re referring does not fully match with current new EA as there are different parameters in new EA which was not at the time. But i understand your point.

Show a similar +40 net pips screenshot tomorrow, and the next day, then the next, and so on for the reminder of this week. My guess, it won't make it but it is a good system for noobs.
