Basket No. 3 has just closed due to EL - gotta love this setup. Yes DD can be a little high but with the right money mangement I reckon we are on a winner with this one!

{quote} When a basket closes everything resets and starts over from square one so a new basket may open on the same candle the DB is on if the signals are still present from the TS, thats normal. The only way to stop it is stop after 1.
I managed another two closed baskets overnight and a third basket in a bit of DD
So that is 4 closed baskets (one manually) in just over half a day's trading.
I have not as yet set up my singles pair platform but I'm not sure that I will given the results I'm getting with the basket setup

I'm back from my short holiday, glad to see a lot of result reporting from traders whilst I was away.
Here is my HASv1 back again, after three losing days before going on holiday, it's back in the green. Overall I'm about 535pips ahead on 12 days of trading (not consecutive days now)
My results for the original HAS+Sema+Swing is similar to that reported by fairtraderuk post#3465, with a sea of red.
I have just started investigations my 28pair Basket testing HAS+Sema+Swing on 15min, with Close candle and normal. Initial results seem to indicate not much difference between Close and Normal calculations, at least not enough to use one version over the other.

This is where things start to get interesting - 15m basket has been trading long and adding to positive positions. Two of those, the EURAUD and the GBPAUD have taken a dislike to the AUD news just out and have dropped substantially causing a major drawdown in the basket. Let's see if it can work itself out of the hole......

Both of my All Pairs Baskets trials are well into seas of red, with large DD's. I feel the 28 pairs baskets are too uncontrolled at the moment, there needs to be some sort stop to prevent such DD blow-outs. My opinion is if we use say EL=100/50, then the Basket SL needs to be about 100 or so, otherwise it becomes difficult to recover the Bad days. With Lot=0.1 this is also difficult with 28pairs, so I was thinking dropping the lot size to 0.05 instead and see what happens.
Looking at this example we can see that there was actually a general trend Short, but the BOT took a reversal Long. Maybe we need to add in HAS2 as well to keep Swings going with the main trend!!
