{quote} Thanks for info Jess...perhaps I did not correctly express myself. I did not make a loss on Friday 9:15h because VB did not trigger at that time . Instead I made a win on a second attempt on 10:30h VB . Testing on Friday just out of curiosity!
I wanted to make these two points:
1. I traded on a Friday, this is something that is usually not done
2. That if ever you experience a no trigger day, that this is not a bad thing

I did see that you are "experimenting", which is fine. So next question how consistent is the Friday 10:30 hr?
Only forward testing will reveal this..

{quote} Jess or anyone Where is it in the EA that restricts Friday trading? No trade days are blank, so every day of the week should trade, correct? My example above I triggered by changing the time. Ray
You answered your question .
No trade days.
That is where you would enter Friday or whatever day you don't want the EA to trade

I see traders with a lot of different outcomes for MRFDX's set file. I too had different hits and misses but I realized the difference was that on one platform I was using 2 charts 1 for the indicator and 1 for the EA. When I loaded them both onto the same chart I got exactly the same results, and of course, my using XAGUSD for the EA made matters worse. I'm not sure if anybody else saw the same situation.

Mrdfx I appreciate your set files They show the closest set to a constant win. Here's hoping we can improve them for you.
I intend to test Maddash with the EA set file from Mrdfx and some changes I made to Maddash.

Here's to a great week, everyone.

Jess Thanks again for your constant vigilance.

Ray:
In the earlier version I had the EA setup so that it would warn you if the indicator was not on the chart. Due to many trader suggestions (basically they didn't like the warning LOL), I removed the feature and hence you get the results you experienced. On top of it, when a trader tells me they do not know what is wrong and why the EA is messing up, it makes it real difficult to assess the bug when the trader is not telling the whole story.

So in view of this, I am going to add this and all of the other warning features. At this stage of development it is really important that when a bug appears that it is a legitimate bug and that all of the discrepancies have been pointed out by the trader. If a trader came up to me an told me that the EA had issues but left out that they were placing the indicator on a separate chart, I would be in a looooong debug process.

As for XAGUSD, I don't think the EA trades that pair. The pairs are provided but the indicator and if I recall the indicator does not call up XAGUSD and if it did the EA is not coded to trade it. Remember the original indicator was programmed to handle only forex pairs, and the EA is programmed to read forex pairs.

Hi,

Started to test CCFp v15 for MT5 terminal.

Jess, any idea why VB is kept open for more than 1hr even when I have set in settings max time of 1hr for VB processing?

Let me know what to log and where.

I don't understand why I bump into weird stuff

Cheers!

No live trading this week for the weekly set up, VB did not trigger.

The daily set also didn't trigger today on my live and demo accounts, but it did trigger on my FTMO trial account. I guess that's the difference between brokers price feeds and spreads that xmess7 talked about.

Today London is closed so its not the best day to trade for EA looking for moves. 1 of 4 my daily demos triggered today, its been adding some pairs during the day but I am little suspicious where it will end up. I would not trade live acc today.

hey mrdfx

I had no idea you had released the long-awaited daily settings over a week ago! Thank you so much, have set it up and eager to take it for a test-drive starting tomorrow. One quick question regarding the setup, so that it works with my demo account size - would it be accurate to say that your 2.5% tp equates to about 60 pips? (I'm going from others' screenshots using your setup)

If not, can you suggest what the 2.5% tp equates to in pip value? Would be much appreciated, thanks

I did the same as I did on friday, reopen the virtual basket after the 1 hour that didn't trigger (Admiral Markets demo account) and it triggered finishing 4 hours later with a profit

Two questions:
1. Is it normal for the EA to do more trades than the defined limit on the configuration?
2. I tried to configured several open times on the EA using the format "HH:mm,HH:mm,.." or "HH:mm-HH:mm,HH:mm-HH-mm,.." - but it gives me an error - What would happen with several open times if a basket is still running?

The dynamic risk according to mrdfx setfile is 0.01lot/200. And respective SL 5%/TP2%.

Pipvalue per pair is useless because it depends whether you are running 1 pair or 8 pairs in the basket. I personally dont like pip based targets as well because 1pip cashvalue is different across the pairs.

If you increase your profit target without adjusting respective risk/SL, you are just making profit target more difficult to hit.

I don't know if your reasoning makes sense strictly. Surely the 'depends how many pairs in the basket' argument also applies to cash value target? E.g. if there's two pairs in the basket, then each will have to make more profit to hit that 2%, than if there were 8 pairs in that basket? And I don't want to 'increase my profit target' - just convert the profit target to pips. Or am I missing something

Yes, bad wording from my side, sorry. It does not matter what you set as target when 1 instead of 8 pairs is trying to hit it. Unless 4 pairs in 8 are tanking in opposite direction...

Make some simple calculations in spreadsheet. But you would need to assume some average pip cashvalue. With assumed 1$ pip cashvalue per 0.1 lot and 0.01lot/200$ risk and 2.5% profit target you would need to hit 50pips to reach your 2.5% goal.

I have not updated the MT5 version in ages!!! So, more than likely all the bugs that were fixed in MT4 version are still in that one.
Yes.. you got it. someday I will update that too... LOL

UPDATE v88

xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v88.ex4

Ok after several weeks of operation the maxAllowed trade bug has been fixed. If you indicate maxAllowedTrades=11, then that will be the max.. no more additional trades that SNEAK into the basket.

No it is not normal, hence why v88 was posted, to handle that issue.

What exactly do you need the EA to do with the various time settings?
These settings where added so that the EA code monitor for basket at a fraction of the day. So instead of having the EA monitor for basket once a day, now it would be able to monitor for basket trades once every X hours or a range of hours. You need to take care of setting the hours correctly, the EA will create errors if not done properly.
