Hi,

If I may make a friendly suggestion not to clutter the thread with daily reports of basket hitting SL or TP levels. From personal perspective this is definitely emotional milestone, but it adds little value in making any longer term analytical conclusions for other members here.

As I suggested earlier if someone wants to help other members with trade reports - it would be really useful to post weekly summary in the form of simple table/attributes:

- Trade date
- VBasket open time
- Rbasket open time
- Risk (e.g. 0.01/200 etc.)
- SL/TP levels used
- Additional filters used (Candle trend, BBSqz, excluded pairs, etc.)
- Max DD during trading session
- Time to hit target and comments if any (e.g. manual closure, SL hit reason, no trading etc).

If someone really feels like sharing, they can post weekly TradeReport results as well.

Also, it is really important to report any potential bugs, logic conflicts or other issues with EA. Our collective feedback will make EA ultimately better

Agree?

Cheers,
Ilvez

{quote} blam as far as I know you do not need to hit refresh, the EA will reset itself for the next session at 00:00 GMT. xmess7 can confirm this. I would also suggest updating to V91 as its the most recent stable working version.

Hi, Another bug in v91, which is very random and very frustrating: Settings: 1. Upper VB Trigger 15pips, lower 0 2. Only positive trades allowed to RB 3. NO other filters in place e.g. ColorTrend, BBSqz. How can the VBasket fail with the message "no positive vTrades were found in vBasket"? It is mathematically impossible for VBasket to hit positive VBasket target with all the trades having negative results. Or? {image} I really hope Jess can look into it. As well as to the Pip Threshold logic, which is acting against the best interest of profits...
Hi

Regarding that message on the Virtual Basket today I had the same message in one of my real accounts. I have 5 real accounts that I launch the MetaTrader every morning (for the computer to rest during the night ) and all of them start with the indicator and EA with the mrdfx setup (thanks ) - at 9:15 one account didn't open and I noticed that something strange had happened - the parameters were ko - several parameters had no value!?!?!?

I loaded the right parameters and I immediately received that message (No realBasket Triggerd ... No Positive vTrades were found in the vBasket). I tried everything (Click reset EA, load da setup file again, restart the EA, delete the global variables) since the vBasket on the other 4 accounts had no problems and the indicator was giving the same pairs.

Finally, I decided to close the Metatrader and open it again - and immediately the vBasket opened and no more messages - I checked the loaded parameters and everything was as it was supposed to be, maybe there are some bugs on the Metatrader that are affecting the EA (or my idea of having the MQL4 directory shared, with symbolic links, between Metatrader installations is not a safe option because of the mqlcache.dat files, Logs and Files folders... )

Thanks for sharing, its good to know that I am not the only one with v91 stability issues. My friend is testing it out and also has seen many times various errors with v91.

But I am sure Jess will fix them all

Wow, great update sir. Can i ask about Trade Level sir. How you filter the Forex pair if the Value is bigger than 10? So when i trade it, "Pair" with Value bigger than 10 will not be added to the Trade Suggestion.

{quote} Hi grandaevus, it is great to see you here in this thread. I have been using your indicator, both v17.02 & v21.05. Thanks for your hardwork. grandaevus, can you talk a little more about the Trade Level setting? How high this Trade Level can go? Most are using Level 2, is there a Maximum & Minimum Trade Level? And in your view, what are the reasonable value one should set for the Trade Level of your great indicator, using along with the...
Hi Bill,

CMSM isn't an oscillator. Minimum Value for Trade Level is zero but there's no maximum value like RSI or Stochastics.

Trade Level is used to filter suggestions that're weaker. When you increase Trade Level, you'll get less trade suggestions

Basically, The formula of the Trade Suggestions List is,

(1) Take opposite colors in the strength Levels (if one is green, the other should be red, if one is red, the other should be green),

(2) Take absolute values that meet the requirement # (1)

(3) If both values are higher and/or equal to Trade Level, list the pair in the "Trade Suggestions".

GBPCHF is the Suggestion List,

GBPCHF pair have two currencies, GBP & CHF

GBP Strength is -10.49 , CHF strength is 4.68 . One is red (negative), one is green (positive) so first requirement is met.

Absolute values are 10.49 & 4.68

Since both are higher and/or equal to Trade Level (2.0). third requirement is met.

Very impressive work, thank you!

Its not really utmost importance, but how do you calculate the index value for sorting pairs by strength?

Jess has setting already in EA to pick the pairs according to strength but it is good to visually see the ranking on the screen.

Best wishes,
Ilvez

Hi,

Watch out for using V91 on live accounts!

Today ran parallel v88, v89 and v91. V91 was the only one which failed with the VBasket, again the dreaded error of "no positive vTrades found" while basket was fully green. And Vbasket freezed.

Cheers and green pips to all!

Hi grandaevus

Does this mean that if I want to give orders at 9:00 AM based on the PERIOD_D1 timeframe the Metatrader with the indicator must be running during the night??? - I am closing the Metatrader during the night.
