{quote} Those are very impressive results, 200 pips per day for 6 weeks. I would like to run some tests using your method. I have been running tests with CMSM 17.01 for the past 4 weeks and my results are nowhere as good as yours. I have been using the settings used by mrdfx and xmess7: {image} Could you show us what settings you are using? Also, are you opening 3 baskets at the same time, each with different settings? I've been looking through your posts but I haven't found your settings (I'm still looking). It could be that the opening time of...
Yes. These points should also be taken into consideration.

The 17.01 CMSM indicator #2 seems to clear trade suggestions from indicator #1 when put on same chart. Maybe I am missing something?

{quote} Ouch, that was a rough week. I opened my VB on Monday 15:10 GMT and the RB opened on negative trigger of -350 pips on Tuesday 14:05 GMT. I then closed the basket 2 hours later for +141 pips (+2.7%). I was lucky to close it then, otherwise, I would have been in the same boat as you with a big drawdown, because it did not go much higher than that. I remember there were some high impact news on NZD on Tuesday night that would have sent my basket into deep drawdown. Are you putting additional filters on your trade suggestions? Or maybe placing...
In life timing counts for a lot!! Appears to me that the NZD news report that you were not hit by caused the devastation. Such is trading... No additional filters. No limits. ...SL/TP values are derived from excursion studies using the data you provided in posts such as #13,3322(p.667), as well as others. ...Glad you decided to concentrate on the,"Negative Trigger," method. As I remarked in a previous post, the R:R value for your secondary baskets is superior to that of your primary baskets. However, I don't think that Pos. trigger trading should be discontinued. As your data show, it can be profitable in, and of itself. My wrinkle in what is essentially your original method, is that in the event of a severe DD, I allow the primary basket to be stopped out rather than holding until secondary basket either hits TP, or SL(...BTW, original SL for this Neg. triggered basket was -252 pips ...price was getting close to this value so I tripled it just to see how far DD might continue). In this connection, I trade secondary at 2x position size of primary, not 1.5. ...If I may say so, I think your Neg. Trigger values could be, and should be more precise... Best of luck.

I'm not giving up entirely on the original "2 Baskets". I'll still be trading it but I will be allocating a lot more funds to "Negative Trigger".

I've been working on a write up summarizing the results of "2 Baskets" for 2018 and also providing my analysis or the results. I'm going to try to finish in the next few days. It might be helpful to others.

Sorry for the lack of info on my last post. I had to go out of town for work and now just returned. Ill try to clarify my EAv44.7 and 3X separate settings of CMSMv17.01. FYI, 3x separate settings of CMSMv10.02 also works well, but Ive found that CMSMv17.01 results to be more consistent and to almost always hit my intended Tgts.

Also, I am only trading this way on Demo. I want to fire up a Live account in a week or so after work slows for me.

All 3 separate CMSMv17.01 indicators all have different magic numers/ID's so they can run independent of each other, but they run all at the same time and on the same chart. So that would be 3 Real Baskets opening all at the same time. That means a get ALOT of trades right off the bat at 0800gmt. But Ive noticed that since I am using 3 separate settings of the CMSM, then I get more good trades then bad and I eventually hit my Tgt. For testing I was opening RB @ 0800gmt (no VB used) and Im just letting it run throughout the whole day (2300gmt) just to see how many pips I get daily.

I think the lowest amount of pips Ive gotten in the last 6wks was 240pips, but most days Im reaching 380pips or more. Since I run no SL, Im currently making my daily tgt 150pips and then increasing my tradesize from there. Ive always hit my tgt so Im not yet sure what I will do if my 150pip tgt is not hit during the day. Maybe I would just let the RB run for another day to see if it reaches its tgt. Not sure on that yet....

All CMSM indicators are on Trade Level 2 and on Weekly Period. You can see the settings on the pic that Ill attach.

IGNORE the EAv44.7 VB and RB settings on the posted picture. I was dinking around with the settings of the EA, so those are not accurate. ONLY focus on my CMSM indicators in the pic, not the EA.

There is NO good reason on why I chose those 3 separate CMSM settings. I saw Dashurry do it with the v10.01, so I decided to try it with the v17, and its working out quite well so far.

Keep track of the Max/Min. I am more interested in what the average Min is and the time it takes for you to get to profit (on whatever average +pips).
Lets see what happens, if this is consistent for the next 2-3 months... you got yerself a winner... . Another approach to slap on pg1.

Folks, can you imagine ? This would be the only thread that actually has winning PRESETS on pg 1... and not just one LOL!!!

That’s a NEGATIVE Sir. From what I can tell from that post, I was using EA v44.3 (that had bugs/issues) with EA settings that I did not like, and only 1x setting of CMSM 17.01 instead of my now 3x separate indicator settings.

EAs update

MT4 v44.8
http://xm7.info/ea/ccfp_weekly/lates...itor_v44.8.ex4

MT5 v12.6
http://xm7.info/ea/ccfp_weekly/lates...itor_v12.6.ex5

I have not tested these updates. So I am leaving the previous versions for in case someone needs a copy.
You can see all versions in folder: http://xm7.info/ea/ccfp_weekly/latest/

Updates:
1. Added input "Run vBasket with no triggers/no reset (use for observation)". Set that true will allow for the vbasket to run indefinetly. All triggers are ignores and there the vbasket is not reset at the end of GMT day.

2. Cleared up the vBasket and rBasket Time duration inputs. Instead of entering xx:xx now you need to enter xx-xx. There was confusion as to what it was meant. Folks thought that this was a time, instead of a duration.

3. Added to input "Exclude Pairs or Currencies" You can have the EA ignore either particular PAIRS or CURRENCIES. You can have a comma separated list of both types. example "Exclude Pairs or Currencies" = EURUSD,GBPUSD,NZD,AUD. The EA will then ignore pairs EURUSD,GBPUSD and ignore any pairs with the currencies NZD, AUD.

4. This one "feature" is not listed anywhere. Since some of us work at secured places where we cannot log in to Metatrader I added a close basket hidden function. If you need to close your basket and only have access thru the Cell phone APP or even a webpage then all you need to do is this.
Open a BUYSTOP PENDING ORDER on any pair. Set your Stop PRICE to 100 pips or more (110 is fine). They EA will then detect the open BUYSTOP ORDER and close the basket just as if you had hit the CLOSE TRADES BUTTON. The BUYSTOP ORDER will also be deleted.

Please test this version. I don't forsee any issues with the core functions since these are separate functions that do not affect the normal operation.

Here's an image with the new inputs highlighted

So just to make sure. The EA settings are not the same. Nevermind the issues you had with v44.3, that is a separate from the EA settings.

if so, I will remove from my notes the post and file and wait for your post.

thnx

{quote} Ok guys after 2+ months of testing and compiling all the data, I have updated my weekly set file above! There are quite a few changes, and with an overall better result. One important thing to note is that I am now trading the CMSM v17.01 indicator on Level 2 not Level 4. There is a reason for this which I'll explain below; Two changes I've made is to sort the pairs by strength, and set max allowed trades to 8. By doing this we only allowing the top 8 strongest pairs to go through. Now previously when we were trading with CMSM...

Looking forward to your summary. I now understand better your question regarding limits, or filters. The reason I had fewer pairs in my basket than you had in yours is that I exclude all CHF pairs from my trading, and all JPY pairs except for NZD/JPY.
