hey mrdfx if you're already also testing the 1.30am, could you suggest another slot that I could test, maybe 2.30am or 3am etc blam {quote}
Yes I started testing it after you told me it was the one that you were having better results.

I would not bother with 2:30 or 3:00 as I tested them some time back and they were not profitable long term. If you would like to add a new time slot you can perhaps a Monday daily time.

I took an idea from the CCFp thread which also trades baskets and opens the weekly baskets on a Monday during the London session so maybe trying one of those times might yield some interesting results?

Its really interesting what differences in results there can be between brokers.

My default 23:00 basket did not trigger neither did the 01:30 basket. My daily basket test triggered and as finally turned into profit today after floating in DD.

This week I removed some weekly and daily presets that weren't doing very well and were pulling down the linked TE stats, so now we should start to see the profit turn back upwards.

This week was not the best for the weekly sets. 2 presets did not trigger and the 1:30 did and hit SL.

While it was open I noticed that there were 13 pairs in the basket and come LO most of them changed trend. This is an observation I've been seeing that happens from time to time, and that is that the trend does not continue into the next day.

This is what gave me the idea to try an opening time during LO the same like the CCFp basket strategy and so far that basket is up +16% compared to +8% and +2% of the other 2 weekly presets I'm testing. A few more months and I'll go live with it.

I think its perhaps not so much as a trend change but what LO (and sometimes 30 minutes before LO) does quite a lot is closing the Asian gap e.g. stophunting Asian session after which true trend might return. Size of the stophunt can be anything from 25 up to 50pips. So it poses a challenge which timeframes to consider for a basket opening because this move is quite surely against last 4H candle. And using only 1H and 30M candles for opening a full basket might be too short term view.

Well, only forward testing only tells the full story.

And now for some good news.

I am finally getting around to fixing the minor operational bugs reported from last year. It took some time as the previous developer who originally helped me is too busy these days with others things, so I have now found a new developer from MQL5 to take over, and who is now busy with the EA so hopefully after 1-2 weeks I'll have a new fixed 100% working version.

This week only my weekly day preset opened and is still active, the others did not trigger.

I have removed the TE as I am doing multiple forward testing with the new version so the account stats are all over the place now. With this new upcoming version I'll probably have to restart all my forward tests as previous results will be redundant. A lot of time gone, but at least now the results will be accurate.

This week no weekly baskets triggered so no trading this week.

As for the the new version well that's coming along, most of the bugs are fixed, now I'm busy with forward testing to make sure that everything is fixed. It's been quite challenging actually to get certain things working as they should, but I'm confident we'll get it done.

So the new version is taking longer than expected. I had to fire the developer who was working on it as he did not have the experience to do what I asked even after he said he could do it. Finding a proper experienced developer on mql5 is truly a lottery as most of them are bullshit. So now I'm on the search for a new developer who can hopefully fix this EA and make everything the way I want it to be. I'll keep you guys updated.

thanks for the update mrdfx, that all sounds pretty frustrating. Slightly off-topic, does this in any way affect the opening price US30 EA

thanks, blam

I've used Upwork recently for a manual strategy I've had automated. Personally impressed. If your struggling with MQL5 it is an option.
