Current EA settings for my 3 Real Basket Demo strategy that I am currently testing.
I am running a couple of tests right now of your "CMSM 3 Basket" method. I am just practicing to check that I have my charts and parameters correct. There are two different ways to run the 3 baskets:

Method 1: One chart, 3 baskets, 1 EA.
This is the same way you are doing it. I didn't know it was possible to load more than one basket onto the same chart. It is easy, since you only have to run one EA and it monitors the total pip gain from all 3 baskets. The drawback to doing it like this is that there is no easy way to monitor each basket individually. For example, right now I can see that the baskets are at +95 pips. The maximum is +120 pips and the minimum is -105 pips. But I can't tell the contribution from each basket.

Method 2: Three charts on the same MT4. Each chart with its own indicator and EA.
Doing it this way, allows each of the baskets to be evaluated individually. It takes a bit of extra effort to make sure that all 3 EA's are set up exactly the same to open at exactly the same time. So you will have to use your calculator to add up the 3 baskets to figure out the total pips, but it's really no big deal.

Either one of the 2 Methods will do the job. I will be using Method 2 during the testing period so I can evaluate the individual baskets. I will be opening the first baskets at 08:00 GMT.

Smart, smart. Ill do the same thing and switch to 3 charts instead of 1.

Quick question though. How would you get ur EA to close the RB after it reaches ur desired Tgt. if there are 3 separate EA's?

Thanks Yohec,

Adam

Hi Jess, number 4 might be a problem for traders who trade manually + the basket with the same account. Is it possible to set a on/off switch for this backdoor? Or perhaps set the stop price much much further (like 500 pips or more).. 100 pips away still seems quite a possible intentional pending order, especially for longer timeframe traders.. (personally, I do have pending stop orders opened as and when that are more than 100 pips away at certain levels on the daily and weekly chart, I'm afraid I might accidentally close a basket lol)

Thank you, as always.

Cheers,
M

Hey Marshall. I understood!!!!

1. Added new input "Allow EA to CloseBasket with BUYSTOP ORDER of +500 pips"
Set this to TRUE to activate backdoor function that will CLOSE your basket when you open a BUYSTOP ORDER of 500 pips or more on any symbol the broker provides. If set to FALSE well you know... it will protect all of us that with mouse clicking butter fingers from creating an inadvertent STOP ORDER LOL. No other trades from other EAs (pending or market) will be affected, only the basket and BUYSTOP ORDER YOU SET with +500 pip OPEN PRICE, will be closed.

PLEASE test this feature and let me know if it worked, especially MT5 users.

I got the 3 x CMSM on 1 chart and a lot of trade suggestions (> 15) but the EA opened only 9 trades. Any hints?

EDIT: (1 CMSM on 1 chart) x 3 works.

Testing the mrdfx method with v17 weekly, today i'm going mad, the EA is erratic:

I've got 4 pairs on suggested, 3 opened on the VB and 6 on the real.

Is this random?

Hey Jess,
I'm using 44.7 on a daily basis, don't remember, do you need to press reset, once he has closed the basket?
Thank you,

Monday basket VB did not trigger to so trade today.

Mondays have been pretty meh the last few weeks, not like it used to be. Hopefully Mondays pick up to what they were soon!

Which EA version are you using? On v44.7 there is a setting under the TRADE CONTROL SETTINGS labeled "For Multiple Lists Allow Duplicates on Real Basket" - set that to TRUE.

That may be the issue.

Hey Xmess7, nice work on v44.8. Im still cruising on v44.7 and my "Basket Close Warning" is NOT working anymore. The EA does not warn me. It just starts closing the RB when I click "Close Basket". I have it set to FALSE because I DO want to be warned before I close the RB. I took off the EA and reloaded it. Same issue.

Any idea if this has happened in the past or to anyone else? Its not a big deal. I just want to make sure I did not inadvertently changed a setting that caused this.

You would not be able to monitor the total gain from the 3 baskets so the EA’s would not know that a combined TP has been reached.

You would need to stay with your method to do that.

And, of course, the only day I drop below +200pips profit would be the day that I "gloat" over my 3x setting system haha. Im currently sitting at +121pips and -756pips for the min/max. It might be due to U.S. Holiday so my RB is not getting the "bump" it usually gets from the NY session.

I guess I could just stay with a +100pip Tgt and I would be good even on days like today. Or, do NOT trade U.S. Holidays I guess. Im still going to hold todays RB over night and see if I get a push during London or during tomorrows NY open.
