{quote} 0.382 D1 ATR180 x pairs in basket, plus spreads. This in order to approximate trigger values you have given, but with a bit more precision. Almost dream scenario brewing, with both reversed, and non-reversed models producing profits. Today is only Tuesday, the non-reversed VB, were it active, might have triggered by Thursday GMT 15:00.
Last year I was using -400 pips as the trigger for a 12 pair basket. This year I'm using -350 pips. I reduced my trigger levels after missing a couple of baskets by a few pips like you did.

I opened this week's VB on Tuesday 14:10 GMT, without the GBP pairs. So my basket has only 9 pairs and my trigger is -250 pips. The VB is currently at -55 pips.

Using my method, I calculate your 9 pair VB trigger value to be 241 pips before spreads, about 20-25 pips more, 260-265 pips.

xmess & mrdfix already fan of negative method. You are finally testing with Yohec. Yohec test methods live , I don't remember if I lost live money with yohec method but did lose some with mrdfx basket but then got busy somewhere else...

I think jess , mrdfx and I also will prefer NTM. I will get back to it by next month probably meanwhile enjoying my manual trading.....

I accidentally hit the settings menu while VB was opened, and VB closed or reset when I closed the settings menu.
Lesson learned, but is there any way to make the opened VB persists as RB does?
VB also resets when my computer occasionally reboots after system updates.
If VB has some kind of persistence option, it would be great.
I think this might be a very critical feature as someone could miss nice opportunities as I did this week.

Already testing new version that has the fix, when we verify the fix worked version 51 will be published

In the mean time you try the following to minimize vb from resetting.

Set "Daily Hour to Close Basket " = - <<== just a dash

Set "Run vBasket with no triggers/no reset" = true

That will at least prevent the vb from resetting under the current day.

My "Negative Trigger" VB (9 pairs) triggered a RB with trigger level -250 pips at 03:00 AM CST Wednesday morning. I watched all morning but there was not much volatility. Maximum = +85 pips, minimum = -73 pips.

I manually closed the basket after 11 hours for +72 pips. The profit was +2.2%

EA UPDATES

MT4 v51.0: xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v51.0.ex4
MT5 v12.9: xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v12.9.ex5

You can download any of these versions from this folder: http://xm7.info/ea/ccfp_weekly/latest/

Updates:
1. ReWrote NoVBReset input to make it more clear. The name of the input is now: "Run vBasket with no daily reset"

2. Fixed VbReseting on new GMTDay whenever a user would go to the inputs to make changes. Vb does not reset anymore. Make sure to set the
input "Run vBasket with no daily reset" = true so the vb will remain on.

As always you can stop the VB by hitting the RESET button.

Thnx
Jess

Wednesday (Using MRDFX's Tuesday Preset)

MT4 EA v44.9 (pepperstone)

EA: TP: 10% SL: 8.5%, LotsPerBalance 0.02/500, MaxTrades 8
Indicator: CMSM v19.01 level 4 @ PERIOD_W1

Profit for TODAY: -2.6%

DANG IT!! I MISSED THE PROFIT!!! the PRofit for today should read +2.3%!!! I was too busy at around 1 HR after the basket opened to check.. Funny thing is that 10 minutes before that I was telling myself... "check it in 10"!!! I didn't! When I did look it was in DD around -2.7% so I let it go. After several hours nothing so I closed it manually!!

Time to use the CLOSE TRADE DD/PROFIT FEATURE on the EA. I need to check it to make sure it does what it is supposed to do. MAN LOL !! Well at the least I can say it was MY FAULT not the market LOL.. PEACE!!

THURSDAY I WILL TAKE PROFIT!!! lol

I really like the "Negative Trigger Method". Easy, straightforward, and stress free.

This year I'm up 21% so that puts me on pace for more than 60% for the year. My target for the year is 50%.

The trigger value is based on the number of trade suggestions as follows:

5 or less pairs, trigger value -150 pips
6 to 10 pairs, trigger value -250 pips
11 to 14 pairs, trigger value -350 pips
15 or more pairs, trigger value -450 pips

Hi Jess, 72 pips is not good. The reversed signal model I showed several posts ago retraced over 700 pips, from -386 to +318. The,"Purse Snatching,"method is highly inefficient. Yohec is a disciplined, and systematic trader, but I strongly suspect that he would be up more than 21% this year if he stayed with his trades for larger takes.

Post #16,899 shows my input values and an explanation on how I use the system. The trigger value needs to be changed from week to week, depending on the number of pairs in the basket.
