Quoting Pippopotamus
Trying to nip a pip or two... Reduced ReverseAll trigger to 190 pips, and it was hit. BTW, VB read outs were altered by opening EA properties to set PL, and TS values. Just dawned on me! The NewThreshold value was set to -43 pips. 9x43=387 pips yet, VB at time of trigger showed 190.6, and 9 pairs were triggered...??? Jess am I missing something?? Can properties be opened once EA is active with out fouling things up? {image}
So you are the one that mentioned the ALTERED VB values when using the property window LOL
Last nite I could not recall if it was you or another user that had mentioned this condition.

To answer your question, no the vBasket data should be intact whenever you go to the property window or restart the EA or restart MT4.
What you are describing should not affect the vBasket number. Maybe a little, like a brief moment that you see old data but that should be immediately updated with the current data.

You see every time you call up the property window and close it, the EA is actually being reset. In doing this reset all of the information is then RESET back to 0 or nothing. In order to keep things on the chart up to date the EA saves a lot of information into the Globals and then gets it back as it is starting up. In the case of the vBasket data I decide to use an external file to keep all of its data.

Based on what you are describing this effect you saw on the VB was due to going intro the inputs window and changing the PL and TS values.

What may be happening is that when you see the EA get back in focus that at that instant OLDER data is being placed into the DISPLAY box BUT the current data is placed in the variables (these are only seen by the EA). So the EA "under the hood" is still operating correctly. (190.6 at trigger) but the display is showing different number (43 to trigger). I think that is what you meant by Threshold, right?

None the less this needs further testing and exploration.

I'll see what's going on and find a remedy for it.

thnx
Jess

Great pips. If you consider the EA usually goes into profit and if we were to NAB whatever pips it provided... they would eventually build up very nicely our profit, this is especially true when running the EA each day.

still stick on MRDFX monday and wednesday preset. is that good idea reduce the SL to 5% any idea folks? my rules is keep riding my profit, and i got idea to reduce risk to 5% and i have question ? why most of you guys using 7% SL ?? {image}
Hi Heng:

MRDFX was the originator of the settings. In his forward testing (several months) he discovered that 10% was a good StopLoss number to ALLOW the basket to breath. Now 7% was us. some of us started to observe that 7% SL was good enough for the basket to breath. so if you have discovered that 5% is good for it then go for it do it. just keep track of how many times you hit it, the idea being that we would like to see you hit it say 1 per 4 months LOL. That would be agreat number cause then the profit would be all over that situation LOL.

PEACE

Think of the virtual basket as a STOP/LIMIT ORDER.

Instead of opening say 10 pairs at XX:xx time, we open a vitualBasket of 10 pairs.
The virtual basket will be comprised of the same pairs except no real trades are taken. Instead the EA keeps track of the profit of each of the 10 pairs.

The virtual basket will "TRIGGER" a real basket when its total profit has reached a upper or lower trigger level. You set the trigger levels (in pips) in the EA inputs.

So again, its like a PENDING orders except we are dealing with a basket of trades and that basket's profit is what is monitored to see when it hits an upper or lower trigger.

Once the virtual profit reaches a trigger then the EA proceeds to open all of the trades in that basket. Hence we have a REAL BASKET...
