{quote} The RB should open the same pairs in the VB, unless you give it specific instructions. There is an input in the EA called "Maximum Trades Allowed". Maybe that is it?
nope thats all set as per yours?

I don't know. There are several inputs to filter the trades that I never use. In my case, the RB always opens the exact same pairs as the VB.

Does anyone incorporate supply/demand with this strat? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming that the -xyz figures that trigger baskets are the amount of pips an instrument goes in the opposite direction before triggering a buy/sell? I can see how this will still be profitable but I'm interested in getting the best price possible to maintain a tight stoploss. Obviously, it'd be impossible to code an EA for that as sup/dem is always discretionary, but I'm more interested in where and why I would enter the market. Would be great to see how much appetite there is with people already trading a similar style!

Why complicate a winning system? In order to prove if your idea would results in more profits, you would have to trade the system as it is now and a system with your new ideas side by side for a few months. Your idea, while it does sound logical, would be time consuming and difficult to implement. Plus, as you stated, it would be discretionary. The current system is simple and stress free. But most important, profitable.

If you are going to try incorporating S/D into the strategy, I would be interested in seeing your results after a few weeks.

Hi rentamusic:
I have dealt with supply/demand zones and yes while it is subjective (up to the user) of determining the "zones". However an EA be programmed to simulate that "subjectivity". Think about it. Your choices of a zone would to me appear random cause I do not know what your preferences are. In the same way and EA can be programmed to randomly select the "zone" width. So to that extent you could say the EA is subjectively creating the zones. The only difference is that the EA would have an approximation of the range the user defined in the inputs, whereas if the user were to manually make the choice it would be like at that moment.

So in short LOL, it's possible to have a programmatic integrate the supply/support "zones".

Now, instead of integrating it into the EA you can do this. First, as Yohec suggest, test your idea over several months, to see what works etc. Then create an indicator that will supply a list of pairs (trade suggestions) that meet supply/demand zone criteria. In other words have the indicator do the bulk of the work so that all the EA needs to do (as it does now) is read the list of trade suggestions.

In order to program the indicator to create TEXT objects (they can be shown on the screen or they can be hidden). These TEXT objects should have the same properties that are currently shown by CMSM or ccfp-diff. To keep things simple just use the CMSM format. You can see the text objects and properties by right clicking on chart and selecting "Show OBJECT LIST".

From the list look for the following names/description entries:
NAME: CMSM DESCRIPTION: Currency Momentum Strength Meter

and then skip down to find:
NAME: 01_CMSM_Label_Suggestions_EURAUD DESCRIPTION: EURAUD ---> BUY ( 10.27 , -31.78 )
NAME: 01_CMSM_Label_Suggestions_EURCHF DESCRIPTION: EURCHF ---> BUY ( 10.27 , -5.66 )
etc

Where 01 is the ID number the user assigns in the indicator inputs and the SYMBOLS (EURAUD, EURCHF) are without any suffix.

In v52 there will be a generic label that can be used instead of the CMSM labels as it currently used.

v52 will be the last version, and after that, as time permits, I will be posting videos on information of this EA and will include instructions on how to create an indicator that can provide the trade suggestions the EA uses.

Is there something wrong with the current indicators we have been using for so many months? Will it be easier to sell the EA, perhaps fewer legal complications, if it is not tied to our trusted indicator CCFp-Diff_[v2.0] coded by Ferrufx?

My RB opened overnight after reaching trigger value of -450 pips. I closed the basket 5 hours later for +103 pips. Did I close the basket too soon? It is possible but I still banked a nice profit.
Will you please start posting your DD in your posts. DD% is actually much more important than how many pips you made. TY. Great job!

Quoting Pippopotamus
RB triggered overnight at -549 pips. NewThreshold input worked nicely, limiting inclusion to RB to only those pairs that met the standard I specified. So, of 16 suggestions only six made it to RB. I like this idea of limiting entries to only those pairs that have met an excursion standard. When I opened EA properties to adjust ProfitLock, and TS values, Max Min vBasket Pip gains were reset to zero. {image}
Based on your image, the right chart has a max/min values of 124.6/-67.2. So then those are incorrect values since the EA reset the numbers to 0 when you opened and closed the properties window. Question, do you have the input "Run vBasket with no daily reset" set to true?
I know it says "daily" but it applies to all modes (weekly as well as monthly), will fix the language on next version....

If you have that input set to true then what you did should not of affected the max/min values.

Do this next time. Go to globals and take note of the following:
xm7_max_week_gain_magicnumber
xm7_min_week_gain_magicnumber

then when you open and close the properties window... check again and you should see similar or a little different numbers. The reason they may be different is cause the EA may catch a new max or min.

However if you don't see them at all on the list and you have that input I mention =true then I need to look more into the code and find where else it is resetting the globals for the min/max. So far I don't see that in the code... there is only one place where the code resets the globals and that can only happen IF the "Run vBasket with no daily reset" is set to false..

thnx...

Tuesday Basket (Using MRDFX's Tuesday Preset)
MT4 EA v52 (Broker: pepperstone)
EA: TP: 10% SL: 8.5%, LotsPerBalance 0.02/500, MaxTrades 8
Indicator: CMSM v19.01 level 4 @ PERIOD_W1
Profit for TODAY: 0.0%

Testing the "CLOSE OPENED BASKET BASED ON TIME/CHECKING DD/PROFIT" inputs on v52.
It worked. The Real basket had a slight negative value at the time the EA checked and it was closed as expected.

The Inputs were set to:
"Select what to Check" = Check_DD (see if real basket is in DD at the moment of checking)
"When to check, enter in minutes" = 60 (start check at 1 hour after the vBasket was triggered)
"If no virtualBasket trigger, reset it" = true (reset vBasket if at the time to check no trigger was hit)

No pippo nothing wrong with the indicators (CMSM and ccfp-diff). I am just providing information on the flexibility of this EA.
A user/coder can create their OWN indicator with their OWN conditions. So now, there basically is no need to add any more functionality to the EA cause users can create their own conditions via the use of their own indicator.

All that indicator needs to do is create a trade suggestion list that has the same/similar object properties as what the indicators CMSM and ccfp-diff already provide.

Once they do that then the EA will read and manage their list as it does now for the CMSM/ccfp-diff.

Just EAX has the plugins where folks can add their own indicator filters this EA will has something similar.
Except it takes a little more programming but it gives total control to the user/code of what they want in their indicator.

I don't see a problem with your settings.

Identify the pairs that did not open. Maybe your broker did not allow you to trade those pairs?

Maybe Jess (xmess7) can figure out what was the problem.
