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. {image}
Hi Yohec,
I was away the hole day yesterday and had your old setup on my vps, but when I came back it had not traded perhaps because of an unexpected shutdown or perhaps I forgot to reload the mt4 after a reboot lol.

So if it had traded the RB1 had minimum reached 192 pips - do you know if it went further up?

I can remember that I had 10 pair in the suggestions list and you had 8 - thats strange. Can I ask which broker do you use?

Tim,
I kept the VB2 open so I could continue monitoring. After I closed my RB, it went up higher to +226 pips. It then went down to 0 after about 1 hour. A couple of hours ago it went back up to +150 pips. Right now it is around +20 pips.

I use Oanda as my broker. The difference between us is likely due to different server times. If you have the option to set the server time offset, try setting yours to GMT +2.

Hi Yohec, thank you for info.

I think one of the main points to your succes is, you have a very good feeling when to close your baskets. I think you will beat a 100 % bot setup anytime.

If we should compare to the old setup, would you say that you could have done it 40 pips better or you would probably have closed it at the same 152 pips in profit ?

It looks like that I have to set some kind of profit lock / trail when I'm in sleeping mode and I think this could affect the performance a lot compared to yours. In the situation where it goes strait to TP then we should get the same result. Anyway, If I could get just the half of your result then I would be more than happy lol.

My server time is also GMT +2 so I will reload the history data.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Yohec, it's strange about the tradesuggestions. When I see Pippo's at the same date as yours then he got GBPNZD same as I had, but you don't have that pair.
Have you excluded some pairs??

{quote} Is been how long you testing 4hr with v19? Did you trade daily ? And what time you open basket ? even better if you could share preset regard
I test V19 since it came out mostly trading daily , open VB @1 GMT and wait when VB triggered I have 95% wins, but when it doesn't triggered and I open basket manually I have mostly loses. This is whit daily indicator setting. So i try another approach. setup indicator to 4h, whit function "flip trades" and for now (from Monday) it looks great I open basket 15GMT and live it till end of the week, witch for now i a little bit mistake because I have a lot lost profits as you can see on picture
And for now "Gain" is not so accurate now, because a have cashed in 13% from my account. but it 1/3 from my maks pips
lost profits

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....
Kobra:
As soon as I get a chance I will look into this AGAIN lol.
Right now v45 is about to be released with improvements on operation..
So I got to get that one out, its an important one..
Our AWESOME IMAGINATION is the true holy grail!

Tuesdays 14GMT basket closed early this morning for me at 22 pips.

Wednesday 10GMT basket is currently still running - floating in the -3% - 3% range. i might close this one manually if the profit rises up to 3% again.

EDIT: closed basket for 23 pips (0.83%)

not the best week for me, as we have loadshedding here in Cape Town which interrupted everything.

Guess my next immediate improvement is to rent a vps

I have been following yohec strategy last few weeks. Good thing about FF is that the pairs suggested remain constant since it is not calculating current movement. I plot out the pips movement that was saved in the excel file since monday 0800 gmt. I made an entry on Tuesday around 13:00 gmt when the pips drop from 600 to 300 and set a TP at the previous high (600). as I am writing this.. it stands around 400 after dropping from 1000 pips to 300 pips.

may be this can help yohec to plan out entry of RB1 / RB2 in the future? or even may be a reversal. other suggestions may be?

No, I do not exclude any pairs. Look at the currency strength of the different currencies on my indicator. NZD is a "1", so it would not be included in any trade suggestions since my trade level is set to "2".

Now look at Pippo's.

I'm sure Pippo is using "Use Current = True" while I use "Use Current = False". You can tell by looking right on top of the strenght levels. Mine has "W1" while Pippo's has "W1 current".

Dude had no idea you from SA!

The loadshedding is a bunch of bullshit, and affecting everyone.

Tuesday 14:00 GMT basket had its first loss yesterday.

Basket was opened manually shortly after 14 GMT as the VB did not open.

So after 4 weeks of testing we have 3 wins and 1 loss, that's +6.5% for the month, not bad at all. A little more testing and if all continues well I'll add this to my live account.

Several months ago, I was logging the pip movement for a basket from market open Sunday to market close Friday every week. I generated graphs such as yours for each each week. I was looking for patterns of big pip movements up and down. I was hoping to improve on time and date for entries and exits. I wanted to develop general guidelines such as "baskets usually move downward on Monday morning", "baskets usually peak on Wednesday afternoon", etc.

What I found after several weeks is that there was no pattern whatsoever. There was no consistency from week to week. No patterns could be derived that could help manage the current basket. I see what you are trying to do but I could not get any useful information during my testing. If you do find patterns that could help, please post them.

Trading in SA is risky these days, many of my students are unable to trade properly cos of the loadshedding.

Get yourself a VPS it will pay for itself, and you can write it off as a business expense.

So guys for the last 4 weeks I've been running a comparison test on weekly setting between v17.01 and 19.01, and I have completed the test.

After 4 weeks (Mon + Wed) v17.01 did a whole lot better than v19.01.

v17.01 made +8.95%

v19.01 made -31.39%

That's a very big difference!

Both baskets were running the exact same settings. It seems that v19.01 is not suited at all to be traded the same way as v17.01 is, but then again v19.01 also did not do very well in my other comparison tests (daily) besides the Tuesday weekly basket.

@grandaevus from all my comparison testing v17.01 is still the most successful and accurate version you have released to date, thank you for that.
