{quote} Johannes: Its been done before ( CMSM ) all the EA NEEDS is a list, if it can read the symbols and signals plust the title then you are gold. Man!! I already have a document that explains how to build the indicator. BUUUTT it only works with v52.0. In v52.0 the EA can read a "generic" indicator. What I mean is that you just need to put KEY words into the indicator and the EA will read the indicator text. I am going to release the document when I release v52.0. I have been running (see my screen shots) v52.0 but I been making MANY...

Hi, quick question...

whats exactly does Steplock do ?Is it like : beginlockingprofit:30 and steplock will jump e.g each 5 pips ? Does that belong to trailstop or or manual lock ?

Hi, quick question... whats exactly does Steplock do ?Is it like : beginlockingprofit:30 and steplock will jump e.g each 5 pips ? Does that belong to trailstop or or manual lock ?
Hi JayPebe:

Correct. StepLock is the increment of pips/% you want the basket profit to move before changing the trail stop.

and of course beginlockingprofit applies to all of the 3 "modes" (trailstop,percentofprofit,manual) , that tells the EA when to start to those operations.

I tried to make it clear in the text of the input:
"TrailStop (% or pips) (Select: TrailStop)". See where it says "Select: TrailStop" maybe I should of said "Belongs to TrailStop selection"

The manual lock is a one time lock that you can set at any pip/% distance. Just enter a value and the EA will set the basket at BE when it reaches that value(%/pips) to break even+1. Of course the Manual Lock must be greater than the beginlockingprofit . Not to worry the EA will detect if that is not the case and warn you.

Thnx

thanks, blam

Ok so I'm stubborn and I have not given up searching for a daily set that can be traded daily. Its still early days but this new test has shown potential with nearly 10% profit made this week. I'll update you guys after a few more weeks of testing if it is still performing well. {image}

EAs UPDATE

MT4 v51.1
xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v51.1.ex4

MT5 v12.95
xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v12.95.ex5

Previous versions are still on file server for in case you need them: http://xm7.info/ea/ccfp_weekly/latest/

I created a video to explain the main changes/updates. The video provides examples on the tester. If you stick to the end you will also see an example of how to read the log files that can be created by the EA.

Inserted Video


Updates:
1. updated the Check Basket DD/Profit portions(see images). Previous version added to many minutes and made this input not work

2. Moved the trigger inputs close the the top of the Virtual Basket Section

3. Updated Allow virtual Trades with positive gain into basket input.

3. Changed the name of the log file and added the max/min values to the data that is collected

4. Also added the choice for how long to keep the logs. You can tell the EA how often to delete the logs in the MQL4(or MQL5)/Files directory. The choices are daily, weekly, or monthly.

Any questions let me know.

v52.2 will be the next and final EA of this project. It will include the negative trigger automation and it will also be able to READ custom CCFP indicators. An instruction document will also be uploaded for reference.

Hi Jess,

I am currently using your latest CCFP EA for MT4.
Thanks a lot for sharing your EA.

There are 3 presets in your directory.
* MDRF_2Times_a_Week
* New Weekly Set
* Weekly VB

Based on the EA behavior this is how I interpret the set files.
* MDRF_2Times_a_Week - This trades daily but it is enabled only to open basket on Monday and Wedensday
* New Weekly Set - This is trade once a week
* Weekly VB - This trades once a week. The only difference with the second set file is it uses Virtual Basket.

Please confirm if I am understanding the preset correctly.

Hi smartreynor:

Your conclusions are correct. HOWEVER.. All those presets are only good for pre-version 51.1 (v12.95 for MT5). You can still apply them BUT you will need to check some inputs to make sure they match the settings as they were in the older versions.

I will get together with the originators of the presets and get their updates files and place them in the file server as well as pg1.

Jess

PS: on my next Basket UPDATE I will post the template that I am using. I will this for now until I can get the creator of the thread to update pg1.

Dude daily baskets are a thorn in my side lol.

The baskets that had those results did not do well long term, I caught a lucky week when I posted them. Its been hella frustrating to find any consistent daily setting that is profitable long term.. If there is I have not found it yet after more than 1 year of searching.

I've still got some tests going and I'm hoping for some positive data, but this is a long process and it takes time to check for long term consistency. If I do one day manage to find a good consistent setting that can be traded daily successfully I'll def share it here like I always do.

no worries, totally understand re: daily baskets, don't sweat it too much.

currently testing your settings Mon/Tue/Wed trading (that's more than enough weekly action), and those settings are bouncing back it seems after a few weeks of so-so performance, those seasonal dips being inevitable and par for the course

Tuesday basket VB did not trigger. After 1 hour the VB was still floating in negative pips and did not look like it would trigger anytime soon so I reset it.

Tomorrow here we come!

Hi Jess,

I am currently running 3 CCFP chart/setting/baskets on my demo account using the 3 presets from your directory. I have been running it for few days. Looks promising! I will continue to do demo trade for the whole month of June before I trade this live.
By the way, I am using indicator with strength set to 2. The default preset for the indicator from your directory is 4.

Thanks to Pinbar for this promising trade method.
Thanks Jess for the EA.
Thanks mrdfx, Pippopotamus for the presets.

Wishing you all a green and positive trading!
