Daniel hi. No your concern is not an issue. The EA is aware of what symbols you have activated or not. It will activate the ones that need to be activated for them to be processed in the basket.

But as yohec indicated, there are times that the broker will not allow certain pairs to be traded. If seen this in cases where the broker has a set of two per symbol.
For example one broker had this set for the Eurodollar: EURUSD and EURUSDx The EURUSD symbol was not allowed to be traded via the EA but the EURUSDx was allowed. I am not familiar with the broker you mentioned. Check to see if you have something similar as to what I mentioned, if so then I will need to test the EA in that broker. LOL reminds me of back in 2017. We experienced a lot of broker stuff related and I still have all the broker demo accounts LOL...

Let me know what you find
Thank you..

Daniel:
Please try the following:

Go to the Expert Log (you can find that at the lower part of the terminal, you will see a tab called EXPERTS).
Then scroll thru the experts until you find the part where you see that the pairs are being opened.
There will be several lined per trade... so go thru each and make not of which ones are opened.
Look to see if you find ANY where that it says something like "ERROR opening trade" or something like that other wise make yourself a list of the pairs that were opened and then find you which ones were not. It may be the case that you just don't have those 3 pairs in your broker's list..

If you do find errors take a snap shot and lets see if that gives us a clue as to what happen to the 3 pairs that did not get traded.

Thnx,
Jess

{quote} 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...
Do you post results anywhere? I'd be VERY interested to contribute to this by doing a side on conparison. I'm curious to know if the S/D entry method actually gives you smaller drawdowns, or if it stops you out of trades that would otherwise be profitable with the VB/RB method.

Awesome data... real data too.

Look even the DD is there for analysis. Nice...

NOTE: v52 has a section that will allow you guys to set the number of trades/lotsize. you can use the defaults or change then according to what you see in the market or personal preference. So then with this EA is able to calculate the lotsize based on the number of trades that are triggered. It has been tested and it works. I hope to post the update this weekend...

You are welcome.

It is interesting to see how almost all baskets closed within a day. I do tend to take my profits early, but it works for me. I truly dislike when I have a good profit and it turns around and becomes a loss.

Yes, a bitter pill to swallow. We are all different psychologically. What is suitable for one is not suitable for the other. If I were you, I would be highly reluctant to change trading style at all. You are doing great!

Quite a push in ReverseAll VB, but about 100 pips short of triggering. Note enormous retrace from that excursion.

Trades/lotsize function will be a real plus. The EA has taken shape very nicely.

Ok now we got some info that helps to determine what happened with the 3 pairs that were not traded.

GBPAUD ==> error(0)
I have seen this error before and to say the truth have not found an answer for it. When u look up error 0 in the MetaTrader library it does not give any idea of what it can be. Since we have seen this before I will see what my notes say about this or if anyone found out WHY the error occurred.
Also could you please get more lines for this error? Include the lines that have the price and TP/SL just like you see for the other two pairs.

GBPCAD ==> error(0)
GBPCAD ===> Error in SendTrade(): type = 0 lots = 0.01 price = 1.76131 stoploss=0.0 takeprofit=0.0
Again same as above I have no idea what the MT4 server is tell me with error(0). Look at the price, does that seem correct to you for the given server time of
2019.05.07 04:00:00 ??? I am not in front of a MT chart at the moment, please check that time and see if the price was near 1.76131. We need to make sure that the price that the EA took note of was correct.

GBPUSD ==> error(129)
GBPUSD ==> Error in SendTrade(): type = 1 lots = 0.01 price = 73.324 stoploss=0.0 takeprofit=0.0
AH!! this is more like it. the MT4 server gave us an error code of 129 which means INVALIID PRICE. 73.324 is obviously NOT normal price for the GBPUSD pair.


Now as all of you guys know this is probably a one off, a slip that does not occur very often, as far as the ERROR 129 this is a first. Seems the MT4 server provided some sort of mixed price feed. So, what I will do for v52 is add more checks. For example if the EA sees error 129 I will make the EA REFRESH the MT4 servers price feed with the PAIR I need and then look at the price again ,, do that until it gets it RIGHT.

As for error(0) I don't know what it is and how it can be handled. so far I have not seen anyone provide a solid solution to this one. This just may be something we need to live with.


Ok so a an update in v52 will be added to take care of error 129.

Dan:
Lets see if you still have the same issue on the next basket you test. Oh what do you mean by manual way? Do you mean to do it by opening each pair with the open trade button??

Thnx

Dan GMT is GMT. So whichever Open hour is set in the preset you got from Yohec then that is the GMT time it will open.

For the case of no pairs to load... use some of the tools to get history. I forget what the script is called but you can find it on the server
http://xm7.info/ea/ccfp_weekly

I forget LOL, look under Scripts or Indicators, I think, and look for some script called Loadhistory.

OR
click on the paper clip at the top of this page and look at the attachments you should be able to see Loadhistory or something like that.
You can download it from there too.

Error 0 can mean many things. Broker internal rules getting sent as error 0, probably.

At Fxopen it means maximum number of open trades has been reached.

@Yonec, thanks a lot. I have read all your posts and am with you on this method. The settings you gave in 16899 are based on the old version of the ea 43.3smthng though. Do you have a set file possibly for the new 51 version? I am particular insecure about the new Virtual Basket settings in this new version.

Thanks
