That is wise what you are saysing, I was just reflecting the fact that R:R is low if DD is such high. And definitely a timebomb.

My problem was with 140 pips DD that sl was not activated however set to 100...

Anyway, I will continue testing with daily and weekly pivot, removing GBP pairs.

Based on the OP's explanation, the situation we have experienced means that none of the individual pairs exceeded the 100-pip SL, even though the combined DD from all the pairs did exceed that number.

This is the current situation on my demo account.

5 active orders with a current -145 pips DD which equates to around -4% DD, not too bad actually.

With basket trading you need to have patience, trust in the strategy and let the trades play out.

Alternatively don't let the EA auto trade, set it to false and trade the signals manually and you can pick and choose which ones you want to take or leave.

I manually closed all. Remained 130 pips DD, overall 30 pips profit in three days. Hope better next week. I had daily Pivot on 1H chart.

Just thinking? Does anyone tried to open every morning a basket, then close in profit or day end?

You will have very different results using daily pivots instead of weekly, but feel free to try.

Personally daily pivots did not work better then weekly.

I just put every file in their places on my live account just to see if it works. (Trades are allowed.)

But it does not.

Any idea?

You need to allow trading in the settings.

Looks odd, it can only happen if profit for one of the trades is exactly zero then it won't count neither as "Won" nor "Lost". The profit factor is calculated as follows:
Inserted Code
ProfitFactor = MathAbs( totalAmountWon / totalAmountLost);
@chrisdk2017, @mrdfx -- just discovered this thread -- most interesting. I'm enjoying experimenting with it and looking forward to Monday when the market re-opens.

Regarding the snippet of code above that calculates ProfitFactor -- there's a bug. What happens when 'totalAmountLost' is 0? The result is undefined and it blows up. Before dividing by 'totalAmountLost' the code should first check for '0' or a small number. For example, define a small number like -- double dEpsilon = 0.01; -- and if totalAmountLost is < dEpsilon then set ProfitFactor to '1', or something like that.

Thanks for an excellent thread...

That zero is already checked for.

Not sure who uses that info panel since you can just look at myfxbook.

In my early days I was into all sorts of stats, like sharpe ratio etc etc. I don't think these numbers matter at all, it is more a quant thing to judge automated trading systems.

@chrisdk2017 -- nice response, thanks. I understand your point. I think stats become more important when traders use multiple strategies or EAs -- you need some kind of metric to compare how strategies perform relative to one another. Exactly what that metric is -- well, that could be a topic for its own thread. 'ProfitFactor' is simple to understand, so it's a good starting point.

Hi fareed51,

I'm aware of these settings, for sure experst are enabled, automatic trading enabled, allow trading in expert true.

Just compare in my pics here: demo accounts running, live is not.

I start assuming live trading is disabled as this project will be a commercial product shortly.

Already have seen on FF the same, for example: CS28 strenght indicator, weekly ccfp trading.

Here we are testing and posting results, not realizing until now that we are wasting our time. I'm out of here.
@ChicagoRob -- why leave so quick? @mrdfx and @chrisdk2017 have repeatedly said the EA should only be run in a Demo account. Besides, in the event the EA cripples live trading, it is possible to have a Demo account communicate with a Live account to Enter and Exit trades.

I stand corrected. I just loaded the EA on my live account and I have the smiley face. foff00's problem must be with his broker.
