Monday Basket (Using MRDFXs 'Monday/Wednesdays Preset)
MT4 EA v51.1 (pepperstone)

EA/Indicators Template (make sure you have the latest v51.1 /v12.95 (MT5) EA and the CMSM v19.01/v17.01 indicators):
MT4: http://xm7.info/ea/ccfp_weekly/Template/mt4/1701_EA.tpl
MT5: http://xm7.info/ea/ccfp_weekly/Template/mt5/1701_EA.tpl

The templates include the presets for the EA and cmsm

Profit:- 3.74%

Ok, time to slow down trading. We are 7 months into this year and due to the low volatility the EA is not performing as it did last year. Case in point, last December in 1 week I made over 20% with this EA and setup. Nope,that is not happening today with this kind of market. So in view of this I am going to slow down the activity of this EA. I will wait two weeks and check the daily atr ranges of each symbol.. if I see several near or over 100 pips atr then I will activate the EA... If not I will wait another two weeks and check again. I plan to do this until the market returns to it's activity as it was a year ago.

Version 52 will be released this weekend. This is the last version and it will complete the project. There may be some minor updates later on but it won't be any new operation or new features. Also the last version and any other support files will be place on github. I did this for in case one day I decide to close my server. This way the files will be available for all in the future. I will also ask forexpinbar to update pg1 to include the latest files and links.

I AM NOT OUT. I AM JUST SLOWING DOWN THE TRADING FREQUENCY.

Hi, I just found this ea a couple weeks ago and have been forward testing on demo. Been using it a bit differently than the weekly method... I use daily mode, opening a basket every day at 12:01GMT and closing at 16:00GMT, with basket tp of 250 pips. Although I have closed the baskets manually a couple times around 150 pips profit (like today, for example). It's done exceptionally well in the last couple of weeks (about +800 pips), but of course that's a very short time. My question is about backtesting and if there is any way to do it. I searched the thread and someone mentioned that MT5 can backtest multiple pairs at once, but couldn't find anything else about it. Has anyone been able to backtest this, or forward tests only? thank you

Hi Jess, you may try what I am doing: dividing pairs into 2 groups, those with D1 ATR180>90 pips, and those with<90 pips. For each group a ReverseAll set-up, and a standard set-up. Neg. triggers for both, with new threshold filter used. So, extreme excursions, either for, or against suggestions will be faded (traded against). This week's High ATR group standard model missed what most likely would have been an excellent winner, failing to reach trigger by only 0.9 pips. VB went from 550+ pips to (at one point) just about 200 pips, an excursion of about 350 pips. Likely that 3 pairs would have passed through to RB. ..........Pippo

hi celticheart:
Welcome. Nice to see a new user

Well yes there is a way that i "could" do it, but as I stated... the next version is the last version that will be released from then on no more major programming to be done. If you notice this EA project started back in Jan of 2017... and well its time has come. Maaaannny of the bugs have been removed and whatever requests were made taken care of. In reality this project should of been done back in May of 2017 but I allowed the addition of request after request... and as you can imagine each request brought many new bugs with it. LOL.

So now it will be time to TRADE and not PROGRAM this EA .

Besides the best testing you will ever do is forward testing... true takes longer but you get the best results especially if you are using a live account (all you need is to trade with the smallest lotsize). I tell ya, the last couple of projects I have seen how the MT servers can provide incorrect candle data... it is really bad and if the person programming does not take care if it correctly well you end up using the wrong data and what you see as successful can actually be the opposite when you go live.

PEACE
JEss

PS: could you please provide your EA preset. You seem to of found a good possible starting point considering that this market has low volatility this year. For in case you are not familiar... just open your input window and at the bottom you will see SAVE. SAVE the preset to some folder and then just post it here on the thread. IF the server gives u a headache about the preset just rename it with a ".txt" extension... thank you.

Hi, and thanks for the response It's done very well the last couple weeks with the settings I've been using. Happy to post it here, but if it all goes south after this, well.... I've only been testing a couple weeks, so no promises! Gained 535 pips last week. Only one day had a loss (about 95 pips) but Friday made up for it by hitting the 250 pip basket profit. I'll post the .set file but will also list below the settings I'm using. The EA opens roughly 16 trades every morning (8am EST for those in the US) and either closes at noon or closes if the basket reaches 250 pips. It reached that once this last week and once the week before. Also, I think on Tuesday I was watching it and closed the basket manually around 150 pips. No particular reason except it has been going up and down, and came back up to 150 pips profit so I just closed it. I did try it for a while with other times of day, but none of them worked as well as New York open. At least for the short time I've been testing it. Adjust the settings for Lowest Margin Allowed and Lots per Balance according to your account. Make sure you have enough funds for at least 16 trades open at once.

(I realize there is a more recent version of the EA than the one I'm using, but this version is working well for me and I will stick with it for now)

Thank you for the preset Celtic. We will devour it LOL.
As for the version you are using. As long as you continue to use the settings you have you should be ok. Unfortunately many of the previous version have "delayed" bugs". Some bugs are annoying "EA freezing up" others are critical "not opening trades when it should". Since you are doing ok you might as well wait for the last version that will be released, v52. This will have all of the bugs worked out and some additional features that you can try out.

Take care
Jess

In general our studies have shown this approach to be successful, now that was for the previous two year... This year due to the general low volatility this, has not been the case. The EA has made good in that it has avoided many weeks of trades (preservingi capitol) .
Now there a couple of folks that seem to be doing good. Seems that you have possibly found the key time for these low volital times.
One thing is for sure. If you set your SLs appropriately you will not blow up yet account with this EA.
Ok enuf... pls Keep us informed...

I suggest you read the last 25-30 of my posts. This way you should come to understand what it is that I am doing. Concerning settings, I have none that have been firmly established. I continue to test. You should also test for productive settings, once you understand the strategy.

Monday basket closed for +1.5%.

It was a very slow day and it took over 7 hrs to secure this small profit, but a profit is still a profit and I'll take it, however I really miss those +5% days we used to have last year. I hope they come back soon!

Tuesday here we come!
