{quote} Jess Is it live ?
yup.. with the exception of the Oanda account I mention (which is being tested to see if I get the similar results) all my posts for Monday/Wednesday baskets are live

{quote} yohec: I think it was 500:1, I was using Tallinex back in that Mar-May 2017 run. Had to stop using them cause they stopped offering service to US clients. Today I use Fxchoice which offers 200:1 (Been with them for couple of years now).

Here's a screenshot of last Wednesdays results using Oanda, as you can see this month it is up about +15% not bad... not bad at all. Jess {image}
In the 11 week run during 2017 that took you from $2000 to $3912, the profit was about 96%, using 500:1 leverage. In my case, using 50:1 leverage the profit would have been 9.6%. Leverage makes a very big difference.

Your last month of 27% with 200:1 would have been 6.8% at 50:1. Which is still very good. I would take 6.8% per month if I could do it all year.

I’m looking for a “Basket Close All” EA in either Pips or Equity Balance OR BOTH, but it needs to adjust on the fly in connection with the # of trades that are open. So, if I’m looking for only 4pip Profit for my account for each open trade, then for 3 open trades = EA will close all open trades at a 12 pip profit. And then if a 4th trade opens up when I’m sleeping, the EA will adjust on the fly and close all open trades at 16pip over-all profit.
Naw, the EA don't work in that fashion. The EA only looks at the overall basket profit.
I still have the code in the EA that deals with individual pairs. I could show it again if you want.
But I don't see the relevance. When the inputs where active and folks had a chance to use it, no one ever showed any profitable settings so it was "removed".
If you want I'll and you can have a go at it.

dude, I have seen sooo many users come up with "is it possible to .... " ideas. I would go ahead and implement them but once that was done that user or users that begged to have whatever idea added.... disappear.... LOL

Case in point.. Mugens (where are you man!!) several times asked to ad to the EA the ability to treat the vb basket as it would treat the real basket. Basically all the filters are applied real time each second to the vb, where in default the filters are only applied at the beginning and then at the moment before a real basket is opened. Yes, you can see the argument that we need to have the REAL time trades that are being formed as the vb is waiting to be triggered, but so far the default has worked just fine, the proof being in the presets that have been developed. Anyhow... I was hoping to see if mugen's idea would be to our benefit but nothing. No data, no results, I don't think any of us uses this it at all.

I know I have said it but I really think that the next version will be the last. It will have Yohec's 2 basket approach automated and will also include Konstantin's setup of the multiple hours (lets hope he follows thru and gets some good data cause it looks promising).

Unless someone comes up with several months of profitable data, I don't see anymore new features being added to the EA.

The final step will be to create videos that provide install and definitions of all the inputs.

{quote} Obviously, Forex is open 24/5, but I've always operated on the belief that the main trading session in most countries starts becoming active when the bank traders start at 08:00 local times, the "open" of the session as it were. New York stock market opens at 09:30 local of course, so that ties in well with your theory. Also have to factor in sometimes news events happen at that time. Cheers
Its an observation not a theory(never applied any sort of data for it)... Like I said I mixed up my approaches LOL.
What I use to see frequently was that when the NY traders go to lunch, lol, all things would settle down. Any news stuff that many times is deal with right before the open of the bell, was over with and that trading had fairly settled down, so that to me signaled an opportunity to trade and start taking advantage of the movements that were started or initiated by any of those events ...

Things change and some of that could still be happening.. don't know. The formula I now use is to gather as much data and then determine various factors. From those factors I calculate probable averages or occurrences. Once I have these numbers then I can determine if I am interested in using the approach. So far the approaches that have interested me have met the numbers and are profitable. So I iz happy

Yup, you are correct. I have another EA I run, its called Orion. It originated as a martingale but I have it under total control, in other words I will not blow up your account. The EA was run on both Oanda and Fxchoice. Due to the 50:1 leverage on Oanda, I would only see about 0.1-2.0% per week of profit vs on Fxchoice I was seeing like .8-4.2% a week. The difference between the percentages does not match up with the difference between the leverages cause I had to make bigger adjustments due to the nature of the martingale affect.

But with this EA ccfp_weekly, I am seeing that the profit levels are compatible between the leverage differences. If the ccfp_weekly EA performs well on Oanda then I expect to see roughly 10-25% (maybe up to 30%) a month.

Hello yohec, and Happy New Year. If I remember correctly, 6% on monthly balance for 12 consecutive mos. will double one's account.

Morning Jess,
Are you able to post the .mq4 file of that "individual pair" equity/pip account balance EA?

I may be able to find someone to tweak it a tad for me. I dont code. Horrible at it that is, so I stay far far away haha.

What would want to do with it? The inputs are currently not activated.

Once the inputs are activated this is what the feature consists of :
1. you have three inputs to set
IndividualTrades_Take_Profit
IndividualTrades_Stop_Loss
IndividualTrades_Trailing_Stop

2. Once you set a number to the Take_Profit or Stop_Loss the EA will open a trade with that TP or SL. So when u look at your basket you will see tp and/or sl values set for each trade instead of 0 as is done now.

3. If you enter a value for the Trailing_Stop the EA will then monitor each individual trade and set a trailing stop as each trade advances.

For the given purpose of this approach I don't see what else you could do with this.

If I do activate them consider the following two points:

1. If one or more trades close because of a SL and you have AllowNewTradesToBasket=true then there is the possibility that the EA will open a new trades for the SAME pairs that was closed for a Losses. The same goes true for trades closed in profit (TP), the EA could open the SAME trades that result in a loss.

2. The EA only applies a SET TP or SL for each trade in the basket. That means that you may be setting too small of a TP/SL for a pair that has a wider range or too much of a TP/SL for a pair that does not move much. In which case I would add the ADR capability, something that I didn't do last time.

So what do you have in mind? Do you want me to reactive the inputs?

The ORIGINAL RULES state to open Monday Basket at 0700gmt at London Open. And that is what the "Quick Start PDF Guide" states also. But from my research https://www.babypips.com/learn/forex...ading-sessions , it seems that no matter what season it is, London Open always starts at 0800gmt.

So.....is starting at 0700gmt still a good idea even though its 1hr before London Opens? Or was it a misprint and 0800gmt is the correct starting time when it concerns the ORIGINAL RULES and the Quick Start pdf Guide?

Adam

p.s. Thanks for the help and patience everyone. Im finally getting things up and running.

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.
Thank you mrdfx,
Question: regarding your settings, right now, is the Gmt 09:00 or 10:00?
Thanks again,

My 1st week of basket trading. +5.5% within first 3 hours using MRDFX method. With some serious risk 0.01/100 on £1000.00 demo account.


Great start of forward test.

MRDFX - would you be able to share with us your win to lose ratio please ? I know from previous posts you have been running this basket for quite some time and been documenting everything.

I have not really been keeping exact stats on the win ratio of my weekly live basket, but I can tell you that the fact that I'm trading it live for over 1 year now means that it has more wins than losses.
Truth is like poetry. And most people f*cking hate poetry.

I am little bit confused :-)
