Ok so this chart should be more like it - when I opened it the difference in numbers was +11 now it is +3!
I thinks that's the ideal set up for a long basket.

I'm going to try something I just thought of.
Your method may seem logical but even though JPY may be Higher than the rest (Strong) one of the other currencies might be also close to it, moving in a Strong fashion as well so trading two Strongs may not be good.
What I'm going to try is if JPY is Strong, trade only with the currencies that are Weak. If EUR and JPY is Strong but JPY is a little stronger then your method would still trade EURJPY might not be a good trade, maybe that is what is causing some of the losses. Does that sound logical?...
This seems very logical, and might call for some modification of the KG Basekt long or short to take only certain pairs in accordance to what you are thinking.

I have turned off the trade manager - it just does work for ME. Might work for others but it seems to favour my broker too much.

I am using a different EA to protect my account (attached).

This EA Profit protection will fit your needs, i think
The EA "miniProtectProfit" is on post 1
Logic of Locking Profit:

if (AccProfit >=500 ProfitLock = 451;
if (AccProfit >=450 ProfitLock = 401;
if (AccProfit >=400 ProfitLock = 351;
if (AccProfit >=350 ProfitLock = 301;
if (AccProfit >=300 ProfitLock = 251;
if (AccProfit >=250 ProfitLock = 201;
if (AccProfit >=200 ProfitLock = 151;
if (AccProfit >=150 ProfitLock = 101;
if (AccProfit >=100 ProfitLock = 71;
if (AccProfit >=70 ProfitLock = 51;
if (AccProfit >=50 ProfitLock = 41;
if (AccProfit >=40 ProfitLock = 31;
if (AccProfit >=30 ProfitLock = 21;
if (AccProfit >=20 ProfitLock = 11;
if (AccProfit >=10 ProfitLock = 5;
SL is -$56
TP = $600

Ok so I now notice just how quickly the bucket can ride up and down.

However using the EA above it locked in £5.00 (got as high as £11 but wanted to let it run).

But at least this time a plus profit..........

Risky.... if it's a real account take it.

Things have started to move but could retrace at any time. I am in the opposite move (buy) and just off profit.....

I am banking on this taking off and going all the way, but it is possible I am too early.

I think I may have lost the plot.

Had I stuck with the trader a seen it out it would now been very much in credit. As it is -£16.00....

I really have lost the idea here, or more to the pint get uneasy with a sudden change in direction/re-trace.......

A change in direction/re-trace can always happen. At the end of the day these indicators are like all others which are lagging. Dont get me wrong as it does have allot of merits but AGAIN the entry/exit points are critical, like all other methods.

One idea i have is to only trade each basket outside of its general trading times. So, if JPY, then dont trade its pairs during the asian session. The main reason for this is that it seems to me that news statements are causing the direction to change sharply.

...just me thoughts.

OK so that went up and down, got the £5.00 locked in then closed (had to get the £10 for the £5 to trigger) so at least profit again.

That's what i've been doing. Trade only the strong vs the weak. Finding exit is the difficulty if using only the indic. sign. Exit went better by analyzing chart.

Hi RaR, looks good are you only using the RS_GROUP_XXX V1.0 indi's to check Strong and Weak for each currency? or are you using the KG RS Group indi also?

Also noticed you have some Stop orders as well, what are you entry rules?

trying to be selective. JPY is strong. on RS-Group, it is stronger than CHF, GBP, and NZD. took them individually for a trial.

Note that JPY is stronger than CHF and ZND, yet the profit is still in the minus!!?
