Folks,

I know I have said this MANY times. But here goes. This project is coming to an end. The EA is starting to operate without any bugs.

So I am going to start to CLEAN out that horrible input list and also the internal code that is not needed. I will be doing this one at a time so it may take several months LOL.

So first 2 question:
IS ANYONE USING MULTIPLE OPEN HOURS??
How about TradeMode=Monthly ???

Multiple hours is when you set the OpenHour="04:00,12:00,16:00" etc etc etc.

ANYONE? If I do not see a positive response by the next Monday I will remote thee features ....

Thnx
Jess

Ok thank you. So let it run and lets see what the results are.

In general what you want to see is:
1. Max DD (this helps determine a possible SL)
2. Average gain (% preferably)

If possible you want to keep your SL:TP ratio some like 1:1.

If you can muster say... 2-3% per week.. with a DD of no more than 4% per day... then you got yerself an approach that will be successful going forward.

Please do share your progress... thnx

hi Jess I just noticed multiple time range is not functioning properly it gives the error each time it set. For maddash it is good if we can use multiple time frames. Can't we give a rapid and constant scanning for trade pairs so it works 24/7, such an option will be great for maddash. Please Consider it in the next version

chandana47:
The EA scans once per second, so it doesn't matter on what time frame it is placed. The multiple time frames are the responsibility of the indicators. All the EA really cares about is what the alerts or suggestions are, hence the name containing "Trade Manager".

The indicators are a different story, I don't know how the programmers set them up, but they some seem to be similar in that the time frame does not matter. I think MADdash also operates in the same fashion cause I think the inputs allow u to "tell" it in what TF to operate.

FYI, There is an input that once set will tell the EA to monitor once per tick vs once per second. I did this cause there are many folks that have machines with lower memory or cpu capabilities. This would help to allow the EA to operate and on slower systems. This affects the EA's monitoring "speed", which may not benefit profit count, trail, BE, etc, cause now instead of that being monitored each second its monitored each tick and a tick can take as long as 3 minutes to happen.

Bro, this EA is fairly done, alot of the operational things are pretty much in optimal state. They only possible improvements I can see are that I cut down on the code. For example instead of using 40 lines of code to do something cut it down to 5 lines. I have done that and I think there are a couple of parts that I can still do this. But before I do that I need to get MT5 up to date. That one does not have all of the updates and improvements that the MT4 version has.

So we carry on.... I am curious to see what the MADdashers produce. I am hoping to see something like a daily basket that has a DD of no more than 3% and can produce from 3-6% profit on a consistent basis whether it be daily of weekly. This would then make this EA somewhat eligible for a prop firm challenge.

So go forth and multiply the gains my friend... for the only two challenges you have are the market future and yourself...

A UPDATE v84.0 ( 16 more updates to v100)

xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v84.ex4
(Note: use the button with the label "Download"(on right side of webpage), don't click on the link to the left of the EA name)

Major update. This affect the operation of the virtual basket when using Trademode=Daily.
I forgot to set the gmt FridayClose hour and with that the EA thinks that every day is Friday.
If you are using TradeMode=Weekly no issues, but if you used Tradmode=Daily then the virtual basket will not open.

Issue fixed... pls let me know if u see any other discrepancies.

Thnx,
Jess

PS: Please re-download v84.0, this time I found one more thing that had to be done to the weekly mode.
I will be testing this when the market opens... to make sure all modes are working correctly.
In reality if you are allowing the EA to make the trades then nothing is affected. Its just that we wont see the vbasket on the chart, the EA still opens the vbasket but it does it in memory... This only affects you if you need to SEE the vbasket since you are opening the basket manually.

PS: The latest version can be found at https://github.com/xmess7/Ccfp_Weekly_Trade_Monitor

I have been testing and there appear to be two problems. One is the daily start which I think you fixed with 84. Two is the abundant trades opened for one of the few pairs. See attached

As you can see there are 9 of pair audchf along with the other alerts to the tune of 23 pair

I work so I don't have the PC time to monitor the EA. I'll try to report any problems sooner.
WE have many MAD options to test. right now I'm concentrating on the TF1 & TF2, along with "alert threshold". This involves changing the first two time frames from M5 & M15 to maybe M15 & M30 or H1 then adjusting the "alert threshold".

Thanks again for an amazing EA,
Ray

Next time just send me the log. The expert log is located in this folder "MQL4/Logs"
The name will have the date. for example 20200721.log

Make sure u have these two sets
debugInfo (debug Pairs/virtual basket detection) = true
debugTrades (monitor open trades)=true

This is the reason for the debug feature, you do not have to be present for the EA to log its activity, just have the EA on. So you don't have to worry about it since you work.

The debug gives me the exact PICTURE of what the EA is doing or is ABOUT to do.
Think of the debug as a helper that is in front of the machine 24/7 or as long as the EA is on. The help records alot of stuff...
But we need all the info, the image you provided on shows a glimpse . You can clearly see that the image is only shows like 3 trades that were open and you know there were more.

Ok, right I am working on another issue (that you have not experienced YET lol).

But I think I know what happened.... so I'll tweak it in a but and put out the new versionm.

EA UPDATE v85 (15more version to v100)

xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v85.ex4
(Just in case u are unfamiliar with GitHub, use the button labeled "Download" on right side of page. any issues let me know)

Simple fix that should take care of the repeated trades when using the MADdash indicator.

NOTE: Under it's current setup whenever you set "use MADDash as CurrencyStrength indicator"=TRUE, the EA will only use that indicator. Code has not been made in order to allow the EA to use all of them at the same time.


Thnx
Jess

If the above link is not working you go to https://github.com/xmess7/Ccfp_Weekly_Trade_Monitor . you can then navigate from there to the location of the latest CCFP EA.

In the beginning, I would like to thank you very much for the great effort since the beginning of making the first copy until this time.
Secondly, I ask you to make an explanatory video for people who started using the EA recently or attach a copy of the correct and effective settings for both the indicator and the expert

Thank you Jess ♥

Defoo:
Welcome, I understand the need for such information. The EA has evolved so much that it would take too a novel to explain the operation of the EA and all of its parts. Believe me I started to do this and there simple is not enough hours in a day to accomplish it and live a regular life, let alone work with the other various projects/jobs etc etc.

This development phase of this project is fairly at its end. Right now there are 3 items that need to be worked out and THAT IS IT.

The next phase will be to strip the inputs down to only those that are relevant. Several of the users that "requested" feature are long gone and those feature simple do not have any forbearance on the current way of trading.

Anyhow, if you go to the main GitHub page you will find a folder called PDF guides. Now I know these will not be up to date but they do show the BASICs of both setting up the EA and what it does. If time permits I will consider creating a video that shows the BASIC essentials of the approach.

This is what it all boils down to.

1. The EA is just a trade manager. It manages a basket of trades and their overall profit. That is all its.

2. The operation of this EA is as follows:
- It can work with two trades modes: Weekly -open a basket on one day of the week (original idea) and Daily -open one basket at one time of each day of the week
- Once a basket is opened the EA will monitor its total profit
- The EA will then close the basket at TP/SL or at the end of the day (daily mode) or 1hr before close of market on Friday (weekly) ...... user can control either

That's it.. that is all it is. so with these 2 points then all you need to know is:
1. what input sets the trademode, the open time (and day it daily mode).
2. Which inputs set the TP/SL
3. Which inputs control the close hours.
version 1 covered all of these items in less than 12 inputs LOL... and of course, these inputs are part of the huge list LOL.

As for the virtual basket... same basic idea except with two added inputs (upper and lower triggers).

Gees I meant for this response to be short .... lol

Hello xmess7 and thanks for your explanation.

It will be possible to use the EA in manual mode and tell the EA to trade the pairs that I choose?
