DislikedDear Gene and traders. This is some result of last week. If I had used Basket EL, could I have caught that green tower? So far, I have set up a dashboard and earned $124 for 0.01lot. I'm glad to see the green pip every week. Sometimes it is broken, but I am looking forward to seeing a new recovery. I'll keep up the results. Best Regards.

Here are 3 trades from the previous DB example:
These are H1 swing trades using the swing to open and close the trade and if the basket reaches 500 pips all trades are closed.
So far one closed 500 pip basket this week.
This one shows a long trade that has closed and then has opened a new short trade which is presently active.
This one is similar to the first one with just a little later entry.
Here is a present active long trade that is still open and will close and reverse if we get a red ball and the basket is still open.

Some results from yesterday, trying some different things now:
CORE5 changed to TrendBO_v4_TS, set EL to (50/10), Basket TP/SL to 100 and "Got at Profit", 24hr trade, good first day:
60m All Pairs SWING+SEMA+BO, set EL to (50/25, 75/40, 100,80), SL 80 and "Go at Profit", no new trades just prior to NY open:
60m All Pairs, based on Eugenes setup: SWING only entry and exit, set TP to 500pips, auto Add-on in TS, "Stop after 1", 24hr trading, 1st TP hit, restart on Tokyo open

I think that I have spent enough time and (mostly) demo money to try and find a group of pairs to create a single profitable basket. All of them at some point have their profitable periods but all of them have finished up becoming losers with significant DD. This latest iteration showed a lot of promise initially but fell the way of so many others so I'm calling it quits on the single basket approach and will start to concentrate on trading single pairs instead, and may use the basket approach for TP and SL.
So, I have changed my setup to single pairs on a 5 minute chart with Swing as an entry, and a 1 minute HM as a filter. Basically I am looking to scalp 0.1 ADR pips with momentum:-
Had a lot of winners overnight and banked a good amount of profits but the DD is also high so I have now added a Swing close on opposite signal AND a 0.2 ADR SL.
Obviously need to have a better than 2:1 win loss ratio for this to work but it looks interesting so far.

First 2 trades opened at the top of the hour, will see where it goes from here.
If it doesn't hit its TP of 500 pips before noon on Friday I will look to close it down for the weekend, depends on where it is at.
I normally shut down demo Tests on the weekend as I sometimes make changes to the code on the weekend and I don't want a bunch of open trades, Live Trades I may view differently depending on the graph and the pair charts.

Nothing much to report from yesterday, mostly failed experiments (playing around with TFs and TP/SL settings) nothing worth reporting. However, my Swing only setup (aka Eugene's setup, with auto add-on) still performed well before I closed it down just before end of NY trading. I like to start each day fresh.
I will try today with a slightly different Basket Stop condition, a smaller TP combined with EL, in the hope of completing trading before NY open.

It didn't take long for my new setup to crash since I setup a DB SL. The number of losers has now caught up with the number of winners so the only one who makes a profit out of this set up is the broker.
I think I will try out Gene's H1 setup and see how it goes.

Post #3812 Continued
Took this one live on a very small test account with a broker I don't trust because I want to scale up using their 1:1000. I am not convinced to put real money into Tradersway at the moment. On Wednesday My TW live account disconnected for the entire night, while my TW Demo account never disconnected. Anyhow here are the results from the last couple weeks on this setup. I slowly gave up on "A" while I shifted my attention to other setups.
Tuesday: A-145 B-99 (pips)
W: A+105 B-88 (lucky/unlucky evening NZD news)
T: B+83
F: A+96 B+132
Monday: B+46
T: B+24
W: B+147 (this was the night TW failed on me)
T: B+16
Friday: B-79
Current setup for B

Inspired by Seller9s 2,2,48 SWGex with individual pairs. I ran it from Sunday night until sometime today (Friday) I will close it to tweak the setup for next week. I let it run made no manual trades and just watched it. Huge draw down (as expected) but also ended up ok in the end. Looks like the basket TP that S9 is using is the clear winner on this one. Would be interesting to change the basket TP to 600 or 200 or whatever and race it for a week so see the difference.
In my normal trading life I stick to 4H or 1D charts, this is mostly due to I don't like looking at charts all day and they bring bigger (slower) returns. So I took S9s SWGex 2,2,48 from last post put them on 4H charts, added HASe direction to try cull off a few trades, and added a bar to activate it. My first intuition was to use a very smooth HAS somewhere in between the stock HAS1 and HAS2 settings but everything I tried thinned it out too much, that gave me little to no trades, so i used a HAS that is closeish to PA. It worked out great in the beginning, but ended with draw down for the week. Thinking of putting a low TP on this one next week and see where it goes, however 4H is a slow mover and one week is not enough time to test it, currently like the 1H better despite the draw-down.
