EA UPDATE v44.1

Uploaded EA with additional log info.
Set PrintDebugInfo=true and EA will now record the candle colors with open/close prices so u can determine if the correct color for the filter was detected. This will help those of u that are having problems with the no trade situation from a failed filter, to verify that it is indeed va failed filter condition.

MT4:
http://xm7.info/ea/ccfp_weekly/lates...itor_v44.1.ex4

MT5:
Will have update soon.

Some of the issues that have recently been coming up (like trail stop not working, ColorCandle not allowing trades thru etc etc) where looked at and updated. We also tested these for the last 2 weeks.

One new input.

FirstLockAlwaysBE- If you set this true when the EA attempts for the first time to set a trailing stop, the stop will be set to break even. After that first time the EA will work normally and set the trail stop as indicated in the inputs. NOTE: This only affect the selection of TRAIL STOP, not the other selections.

Hello! I have a small problem. When I click on "Open Basket", the VB disappears and nothing happens (the orders do not open) I have the same settings as mrdfx. Can you help me? Regards
What version are u using? Please show a screenshot of what the display shows after u have hit the open trades button.

Remember once u hit the open trade button you are basically telling the EA to ignore/remove the virtuslbasket, cause you are showing more interest in opening a basket now... That is why the basket goes away.

{quote} My virtual box keeps working although we reached 20 pips in profit and the real basket should be activated. I kept it on for several hours many many times but the real basket never triggers under any occasion. How could it be? I use the same settings most of you use..
Get v44.1
Unload the EA
Hit F3
Delete all entries that start with "xm7" from the global variable list
Load EA..
Load the preset
Change the vbTrigger to 7 pips
Change the open hour to one minute later...
Wait one minute and verify virtual basket opens.
Then wait for VB to hit 7 pip trigger
Verify that real basket opened.
Once verified. Close real basket and reload mrdfx preset.

{quote} Trailing Stop Still is not working (at least on daily basis). I don't know if it's a problem with the min/max Pips beeing not show correct either on daily trading mode. If i reach my 5% lock, it wont change trailing stop to 1% and it wont move it from there. I can still offer you a skype session where you can have a look at it And I couldnt find the FirstLockAlwaysBE Option either... maybe you uploaded the old v44 again instead of v44.1 ? ^^
Pls download v44.1 again
I am not ignoring your desktop share request, bro.s The thing is that u are person number 10 . So once I got these other folks with worse problems all fixed up then I'll get to you.

I tested the trail stop function and saw no issues..

I will make a video to show all of you how to test these features.

I forgot to mention that u can run v44.1 in the strategy tester. However, it is only good for testing. You only get a one pair basket. The buttons do not work but I can use it to test open hour/take profit/stop loss/candle color/ trail stops .etcetc. I will be showing this in that video.

So hang tight once I get thru all these folks you r next....

so this week FFLV2 chart looks like this. On monday it went up to to max pips of 195. since that it never get higher highs. On tuesday it makes lower highs and eventually broke the Zero pips line and went downward.. I made an entry around NY open when it was around 30 pips (on chart). I open a REVERSE basket and use a upper vb 50. I thought it would meant 30 (current pips position) + 50 (vb) = 80 pips position so I would get a better entry. It did open but the calculation was 30 (current pips) - 50 (vb)= -20 pips position. I guess when you use reverse.....


Hi minigan,

Could I ask, if possible, how to accomplish to monitor basket according to the chart you've attached.
Is this an indicator that should be attached to where EA is running having the open trades ?

I assume the chart shows all the open trades at the time while basket is open and the chart is updated automatically
when there are new trades added into the basket ?

Do you use on hourly, daily or weekly time frame ?

I've tried to figure out why there are times with big DD by looking into individual strong trades and come to the same conclusion. How ever to monitor
one particular trade is not reliable vs whole running basket.


Thank you!

EA UPGRADES MT4 v44.2 and MT5 v12.1

MT4:
xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v44.2.ex4

MT5:
xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v12.1.ex5

Updated both mt4 and mt5 EAs to the latest updates that cover some of the issues that some of you are dealing with.
If you set the PrintDebugInfo=true you will see the EA print the CandleColor filters BEFORE a real basket is opened.
Then if you set AllowNewTrades=true the EA will continue to show the CandleColor filter and Pairs as it tries to find a new pair to open.
The log info will include a statement indicating that this is to find new trades.

So set the PrintDebugInfo=true, I know it will print alot of stuff,, don't worry it will not slow down the EA. Once we are done we can then just turn it off.

v45 and v13(mt5) COOOOMING UP... These version will include Yohec's approach... currently we are testing and trying to get some installation bugs out of the way..

hey Xmess

When i used v44.1 over night it just opened an order and closed it a second after .. any idea what this could cause?
Also the BreakEven Option is not a false or true dropdown, its an number field. So when i go for 1.0 its set for true ?


Also was testing v44.2 same problem. Candle Filter not working and closes position right after opening it.

hi kobra101,

I use Weekly time frame. FF Lv 2. So there will be no new pairs added to the basket for the whole week.

As for monitoring the basket, right now I am manually plotting the chart using excel every few hours to see how it developed. It would be nice if there is an indicator that could automatically plot the chart. Yes, the chart itself is the sum of all open trades.

as for the big DD. for this week one of the suggested pair is AUDJPY SELL for FF LV2. yes if you look at the daily chart, AUDJPY is downtrend for the past weeks but right now it is retracing. so entrering the basket during retracement would suffer a huge DD. I think keep tracking of the chart regarding when to open the basket would help avoid large DD.

hi kobra101,

I am using the old CCFP indicator, not the CMSM version. By default CMSM17 is using Current = true, UseBar Instead of MA = False. I am still using CCFP settings current = false, Usebar = false. just like yohec's settings.

if you set the basket options to log the pips history to excel file. Its under the MQL4/Files folder. You will see the excel file. there should be 2 columns, first column is the date and time of the pips, 2nd column is the pips value. just highlight both columns until the recent values and choose Insert Tab > recomended chart. choose lines. hope that helps

Hi minigan,

I set LogtoFile_BasketPipCount to true and Log Interval to H1 and also changed to M1 to see if any update in the file.

The xm7_CcdpData_Dy_2018.12.13_10203.csv was created under MQL4/Files but the file is not update with the pips and dates.

What am i missing the fact that the file is not updated with pip and date information ?

What LogInterval are you using ? Hourly ? The picture you've sent is unclear.

I've used the latest EA v44_2 as well as v44.

Thank you!

hi kobro101,

I used the log interval of M1. I will repost my pic tomorrow since I am accessing my main computer remotely today. Did you change from H1 to M1 mid-way?
  • #15,998
  • Dec 13, 2018 1:15pm Dec 13, 2018 1:15pm
Hi minigan,

It is not an issue with H1 or M1 mid-way as I reset, restart just to initialize everything from beginning.

I don't currently have any real basked open.

I have a virtal basket running so if I'm right it doesn not work unless a real basked is open ? If this is the case the what is the point of monitoring..

I check in a MAC as well as a PC and it is the same meaning it creates the file and inside of the file I can see following info:

Broker:
Basket with Trades that have MagicNumber:, 10203
Day Starting: 2018.12.13 00:00
DateTime, Total Pip Count

But there is no furhter info..

I'm not sure what could be the problem but perhaps xmess7 can confirm that this functionality is working.

Thank you!

hi kobra101,

yes, you need to open a real basket in order for the EA to log the excel file. totally forgot to mention abt that.
so basically I have 1 demo account to open real basket to log the excel file
the other live account just ready for opening basket.

btw I just look around for indicator that kinda draw the chart like the one in excel. its good but not as detailed as in excel. let me post the indicator and the settings I use. attach it to the demo account and open a real basket.

iHey WestVilla, thnx for the update. Looks like the problem may be related to the CandleColor Filter. That is what more than like is generating that message that the vbBasket failed...

In order to confirm that the CandleColor filter is the culprit of your no trade situation. I need you to set the PringDebugInfo to true. This will record the Candlecolor Filter Right before the real basket is opened. You will see a print out for each of the TFs with their corresponding opens. The close is just the current close. You can easily confirm that the candlecolor filter got the correct open prices by comparing them to the prices on the chart. You will need to look at each
TF("H1,D1,W1) to get the open prices of the chart. The close is just the close of the moment.

I had beefed the up the candlecolor filiter function thinking that perhaps I needed to chance the part where the EA translates the string of inputs into numbers that if can use. I also added code that will not let the EA recognize if you have entered an incorrect TF, it will show a warning window. It looks like that is not your case since you have not reported seeing that window.

So back to your situation. It looks like one of the candlecolors or the trade suggestion direction are not in line with the others and hence you get a failure.

So yea, just verify that the open prices that you will see in the logs, are not the same as what is seen on the charts.
Now, you will see a lot of info and repetition of the function. What you need to scroll until you see the first time that this statement was printer :
'====== No Symbols were detected from CCFP-Diff suggestion list, if this is an error, check indicator or logic code'
Once you find the first time that was printed then scroll up and you will see where the cancle color filter information is displaced. I don't have an image at the moment but I will up load one so you can see what I mean and what you need to look for.

Hang on . We have seen worse conditions that the and fixed them...
