My basket still alive - don't ask me how :-)

It was so close to hit the SL.

I was wondering if it will survive till 23:00 is there any point to carry over till tomorrow ?

Set it to 9 gmt and you are good to go. The Basket shows GMT time. i usually skip mondays on live basket.
If I am understanding this correctly, currently London Open is 0800gmt, so 0900gmt is 1hr after London Open. Is this correct?

Here is the site where I found what time gmt is London Open currently: https://www.babypips.com/learn/forex...ading-sessions . Also here: http://www.forexmarkethours.com/markethours.php .

Once March/April hits, then London Open changes to 0700gmt., well, from what the site posted above states. Am I correct or way off-base here?

EA UPDATE MT4 v44.7 and MT5 v12.5

Download either EA at following site:
http://xm7.info/ea/ccfp_weekly/latest/

Update::
Discovered that 'allow new trades' was not doing it's job. A simple line of code was added and it is operational now. Please download this version so your EA won't miss out on detecting new possible trade orders..

If you are trading my preset you are using the incorrect open time, its supposed to be 10am not 9am, xmess7 did explain it a few posts earlier, however today was a loss so if you're still going maybe that's a good thing.

Hey MRDFX,
I am currently NOT trading your presets, but since you are more experienced than I am, could you sneak a peak at my post #16,602 to see if its correct? Im getting my EST and GMT all twisted around. My goal is to open all baskets at London Open for testing purposes.

{quote} Yes you can run multiple separate charts of the indicator and EA on one terminal, I'm running close to 20 separate charts on my terminal with no issues, just make sure you PC has enough RAM to handle the MT4 terminal.
MRDFX / Xmess7 / Dashurry,

Do these settings look correct in order to run multiple indicators and EA's on one single MT4 Instance only involving Virtual Baskets? I want to test multiple settings of the same Indicator and EA. I want NO real basket trades firing off.

Hi DeathCab if you want to open your baskets at LO then you will need to set your open hr at 08:00 GMT in the EA settings.

UK time and GMT are currently the same.

Yes you can run multiple separate charts with the indicator and EA on one terminal, from what I can see from your settings you have the EA set to open on Tuesday and close on Friday. You have set the VB trigger at 20000 so more than likely a RB will not be triggered, and I do see some if your settings are for a RB although as you are not trading a RB they are redundant. I do see that you have set the treat VB as RB so it will continuously update the list as it changes.

DeathCab:
On the EA display you will see the GMT time in (). The hour outside is the broker time.
Try this. Look at the GMT time in the parenthesis and then look at your local clock. That will give u a guid to what GMT vs EST.

But otherwise if someone tells you that they open their basket at 23:10 GMT. Then that is all you need to know and enter into the EA GMTOpenHour.

GMT is GMT is GMT

{quote} In my opinion no difference other than with pips you keep a certain number in mind and then just adjust your lot size to get your desired TP. I prefer % cause that tells me how much in actual cash the balance moved. Basically it's what u prefer. J
So far all. Green i use original version and your latest version. When should i close this? Just auto TP?

1.Plan the Trade=>Trade the Plan.
2.Dont get Greedy.
3.If you decided to Trade Weekly than let the EA run until Friday and let the magic happen.Always survail it. DOnt let it unattended. If Profit is near Basket TP follow nr 2. take what the market gave you and take a break. Monday you start again.


My point of view.

Yup like dashurry indicated plan your trade.
You can do as he indicated and let it ride till Friday the EA will close the basket if you still have the GMTFridayClose set to 23:50.

What I did was to get out for the week once I got 10%. Each week with the exception of one, it would hit it and I be done for the week. As for the loss I was already way ahead in terms of profit so I allowed the loss to fall to -15%. It was no big deal cause profit started to build again in the following weeks. Despite that I still ended up with double the equity on the 11th week.

Today I would be done for the month if I reach 25-30% gain.

So just set your goal and keep going no matter what the market throws at you. You will also discover to enjoy the future now. So a loss will be to you but a forgotten event that happened I the past.

Oh another thing if you plan to withdraw also add that is part of your equity plan. In other words in clude the withdrawal as a negativ vand work with your idea of what u expect.

For example I opened a small account for my daughter of $2k .each time the account reached $600 profit I would withdraw $500 and leave $100 profit. This way she had a small income but at the same time the account was still growing at 5%.

First Tuesday basket of the year and it hit TP in 4 hrs, and the DD wasn't too bad either. So far this Tuesday basket test has been doing well, and after the next 3 weeks I'll decide whether to trade it live. If all goes well we could have profitable set ups for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. {image}
Tuesday basket hit TP again thanks to GBP drop.

This Tuesday set up is really doing well and if it continues over the next 2 weeks this will be added to my live set up.

Thank you Xmess7 and MRDFX for your advice. I setup all 10 of my Virtual Baskets with different Indicators ID # and EAv44.7 Magic #'s on 1 MT4 Instance. All was good to go.

In my posted pics all of the M1 charts are being traded WEEKLY and all the M5 are being traded DAILY / 10 charts total / all VB open at 0800gmt.

I woke up at 1200gmt to see if all the VB worked correctly and fired off VB trades. Yep !! It was a success. All 10 of my charts had active VB trades from each Indicator working correctly. I did one last check at 1300gmt before heading off to work and all was still well and good.

I just came home from work early at 2000gmt and found that all VB trades on all 10 charts were closed. They should have NOT be closed. I needed the WEEKLY ones to work all week and the DAILY ones I wanted to close myself. And I cannot find the reason on why the VB baskets all closed. I could not find any evidence within MT4 since no DEMO trades were fired off.

I will post the chart and EA settings for 1 WEEKLY setup and 1 DAILY setup. If anyone has time, could they please scour my settings to see if I messed up my settings somehow. As far as I could tell, the VB trades should be active all week and not have closed. Could it be a EA v44.7 bug?

Oh, and all Indicators are set to Weekly. It was on the EA that I was trading Weekly and some Daily.

So would you say -15% would be a good emergency SL if you were to trade your original set-up? Id be happier at -10%, did it often fall below -10%, if you can remember?

No its not a bug. Its more of a safety condition. Imagine that you had no access to the platform...but the mt4 server is still working, so I added coded that would look for certain conditions and just either close an open basket or reset any open virtual basket. Your question is probably why close the vb if there are not triggers, but you never know something can happen that if a vb is open can trigger it.

I'll take a look at your inputs and also at the code to see if the safey factors affected your vb's

Stick to -10%, you will see with time if this is rarely hit.

-15% and lower requires more fortitude (an i dont care attitude LOL).
