Here is my basket for Monday, Jan 14. Does this look right? As many times as I read the TP and SL instructions, it seems like I still am not capturing all the pips I should be getting.

Monday report: V17.01: Result: Closed after 5 Hours for -0.48% {image} V20.03: Result: Closed at -5.98%. Close after X Hours wasn't configured correctly, would have been alot less otherwise ... {image} I have to doublecheck the right config on wednesday. I also used a tradelevel of 20 for the V20.03 (as recommended by grandaevus).



Trade Level is different from Moving average range. Your "trade level 20" was meant for Moving average range.

Hi guys,
I'm working like that, I started December 22nd, almost every day when the forex is open, with 2 trades of about 13 pips each, the Grandaevous system is very accurate.
Thanks to Jagzuk who created the pin and Grandaevous for the excellent indicator. My test will proceed and I will keep you informed.

Are you suing 3 Indicators? Is that correct?

Jess, also, I think I will start using % instead of pips. The account will have around $1,800 balance to start. I need the SL to be no greater than 1.85%, and TP can be anything between 1% and 5%. Now I see, ...I was using the .txt of the .set file. Now that I put screenshot captor on my VPS, I can take pictures of the preset parameter fields, and I see "StepLock." DAAaaaaaa.

darranforex:
Ok I see what you did. You are using the Manual_Lock, selection. That means that the EA will set a one time lock when it reaches the beginLockingProdit Level.
The one time Stop is set to 100 pips on your input settings. The BeginLockingProfit level is 110 pips.

So when the EA see's the basket hit 110 pips it sets a one time lock at 100 pips, from then on the EA will not change the 100 pip lock and just wait to see if price falls to that level in order to close the basket. In your case the profit fell and the EA closed the basket for a combined profit of just under 100 pips. Remember the number will not be exact cause you have several trades being closed and this causes a slight delay that can cost some pips. It also works in our favor when the basket profit is going our direction, the slight delay and movement of trades causes us to close with a little more profit.

Hi belief, grandaevus had a lot to do with cmsm (I think he wrote it) and I think ferrufx wrote the ccfp. Search those peoples names around the time of mid to late December, as there was a lot of explanation in the thread about this subject at that time. I'm not trying to be vague, ...that's just what I remember. Good luck!

I have 3 accounts for this strategy:

1) Based on Jess' settings (CSM 17.01 Latest EA ) today's result: Manual close at +4.92% at 13:00 GMT. Could have let this hit profit lock at 5%, but saw profit and took it.

2) MRDFX settings account is still running at about +3%, but I removed the dodgy GBP pairs from the basket as it's a crazy day in UK politics - I might turn off all GBP pairs for the next couple of weeks. I'll let this one run despite being past 3 hours, I feel a bit more confidence having removed GBP pairs)

3) Original Ccfp indi and version 37.7.7 - no trade today. I am trying to emulate the settings that Jess used a year or so back to gain 100% over 3 months.

The aim for me is to see the results from these accounts and merge them into my own settings.

Hello xmess7:

Does this look right? I've updated my preset. I have a balance of $1,800. I don't want to lose more than 4.3% at a time (about -$78):

A.)With these settings:
~*PercentOfProfit
~BeginLockingProfit = 1.2
~StepLock = 1.5
~TrailStop = 0 (NA-not applicable here)
~LockPercent Level 0.5 (Selected: *PercentOfProfit)
~Manual One Time Lock = 0 (NA-not applicable here)
~FirstLockAlwaysBE = 0 (this parameter seems redundant? ...not sure when I would use this)


From what I understand; when the equity goes into profit by 1.2% of $1,800 (+$21.60) , the EA will begin locking (setting a stop-loss) at 50% of that 1.2% level (of my current equity), ...so I will preserve a gain of at least roughly $10.80 ($21.60 x 50%). This is used in lieu of the Manual One Time Lock(?).

Pertaining to the above example "A"; "If the basket reaches a gain of 1.5% of my equity (which has now increased also), the StepLock won't do anything, because I am not using a TrailStop."


B.)With these settings:
~*PercentOfProfit
~BeginLockingProfit = 1.2
~StepLock = 1.5
~TrailStop = 1.0
~LockPercent Level 0.5 (Selected: *PercentOfProfit)
~Manual One Time Lock = 0 (NA-not applicable here)
~FirstLockAlwaysBE = 0 (this parameter seems redundant? ...not sure when I would use this)

Pertaining to the above example "B"; "If the basket reaches a gain of 1.5% of my equity (which has now increased also), the StepLock of 1.5% will activate my TrailStop, to begin and act as a trailing-SL at 1% above my initial starting equity, with a breadth of about half of that SL distance."

v20.03 did not trigger today, and v17.01 is in a little DD currently.

v17.01 went as high as +4.5% but I was not at my computer so did not see it.

Anyway I am still running comparison tests, and so far its pretty equal. I'll run the comparison for another 4 weeks before making a decision on which one I'll use live.

I'm working on a new weekly set file which is showing great results so far. A cpl more weeks of testing and I'll post it for you guys.
