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. Adam

It never fails. I first posted about my success with the "2 Baskets" system during May 2018. At the time I had 18 consecutive winning weeks. The week I posted, I had my first losing week of the year. Not only that, but it turned out to be the worst loss of the year. LOL.

Haha, ya. Extremely frustrating !! I guess Ill just be patient and see how it plays out. Im also testing different Open times for my RB. 0800gmt vs 0805gmt vs 0810gmt vs 0815gmt. Im curious to see if that makes a difference or not.

Oh wow. Really? And you opened at exactly 0800gmt? Only using the 3 separate settings of CMSMv17.01 on only 1 chart with only 1 EAv44.7?

Good to know Chrisdk. Im curious to see how my different start times pan out as well. Ive heard some members mention that they prefer the Open of the NY Session instead of the London Session. I have yet to test that.

Hi xmess7,

I'm having problems with the exclude currencies or pairs on v44.8. Last night I set it up using currencies to exclude but then I realized for my test I needed to exclude pairs.

When I cut and pasted my 15 pairs, the EA hung and I had to close the instance.

So I started trying to find the limit to excluding pairs. On one instance I was able to add 5 pairs before the EA hung. On another instance the EA hung on the second pair.

I'm not sure what is going on.

Thanks,
Lu

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 Contadino:
please show an image of the terminal, make sure that you have the column "Comment" as activated. That way we can tell exactly which where the "added" trades and which are the first trades that were opened.

Depending on your settings it seems that what you are seeing is the result of "added" trades.

EA has been UPDATED.. Same versions MT4 v44.8 and MT5 v12.6. (PLEASE DOWNLOAD again if you have already downloaded this version) http://xm7.info/ea/ccfp_weekly/latest {quote} Hey Marshall. I understood!!!! 1. Added new input "Allow EA to CloseBasket with BUYSTOP ORDER of +500 pips" Set thisto 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 J, I tried to use the strategy in a cent account but that didnt work.
...
Hmm, as far I know it worked on a cent account. I know of several users that use cent accounts and had not reported issues.

could you please provide a screen shot of what your EXPERT and JOURNAL logs show?

{quote} 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, Marco
Nope no need to do that. The EA will automatically reset everything when it needs to do so.

{quote} 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. Adam
LOL that is not an "issue" it's a user selected requirement LOL

{quote} 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. Adam
Nope it's not an issue. I just forgot to remote the input. I removed the feature cause after 1 year of using this EA I decided that it was not needed and it was annoying LOL. I only use the close button for when testing and extreme EMERGENCIES.

The probability of you inadvertently hitting the CLOSE TRADES button is virtually nothing. In order for that to happen you have to first place your mouse over the button and then right CLICK it. So that in itself negates inadvertently closing the basket by mistake. For the concern of "changing your mind" after you have purposely clicked on the button, I think that is also very unlikely as will cause you still have to go thru the two step process, which means you had already made up your mind.

If you still feel that it is necessary.. I'll go ahead and add the code. Otherwise in the next version I will remove the input.

Thnx

Wednesday Basket (US Broker Oanda, low leverage 50:1)

Below are the settings I used. For the EA use the mrdfx preset. The preset is adjusted to low leverage requirement.

MT4 EA v44.8

EA: TP: 30% SL: 5%
LotsPerBalance 0.02/500
MaxTrades 6
TakeProfit manual strategy with Manual_lock to begin at 5% to lock 1%. VbVtrigger @ +30pips,.
Basket is closed if I AM ABLE TO SEE PROFIT Or I will manually move lock up 5% for certain levels.

Indicator: CMSM v17.01 level 2@ PERIOD_W1, MA(3,5,MODE_EMA,PRICE_WEIGTHED). MA x [1,2,3,4,8,12]

Profit: 0%

Real basket did not trigger. The vbasket had already been opened for over 5 hours so decided to hit the RESET button (this closes the vBasket).

“2 Baskets System” 2018 Recap
I write this post in order to document the results of the “2 Baskets System” for the entire year of 2018. I introduced this approach during May, 2018 in Posts #13,314 and 13,317. I hope this is helpful to anyone that is considering trading this system or developing a similar system.

This is weekly system. The details of the system are explained in the 2 posts mentioned above. Here is a brief summary of the method. A Basket 1 is opened on Tuesday morning (USA time). A second basket, Basket 2, will only open if Basket 1 has a significant drawdown. Basket 2 will consist of exactly the same pairs as Basket 1. The position size for the Basket 2 pairs will be 50% larger than Basket 1 pairs.

The exit strategy is at the discretion of the user. I tried to close all of my baskets before the Friday morning USA news cycle, which usually results in big movements. I did not use a SL in order to allow the baskets to have large freedom of movement. For TP, I started the baskets with 300 pip profit lock. In the case of a basket with less than 10 pairs, I would use 200 pip profit lock. In actual practice, I closed most of my baskets manually. In the case of one basket, I would look to close the basket once the profit gain reached 250 pips. I would not allow the gain to drop below 200 pips. In the case of two baskets, I would start looking to exit once the combined total reached break even. After all, Basket 2 opened only because Basket 1 took a large drawdown. Basket 2 achieved the objective of preventing Basket 2 from taking a big loss.

This is a brief summary of the trading system. In the next post I will discuss the trading results from 2018.
