When opening a strong USD basket should the EA be selling both xxx/usd and usd/xxx pairs?
Thanks,
saintmo
Version 3a is attached. Strong baskets should now sell xxxUSD and buy USDxxx; the opposite for Weak baskets.
I have also tweaked the trade comment so that it is specific to the trading trigger. I set up V3 at the market opening and it has opened baskets triggered by both USD and JPY; I saw immediately how much more useful a specific comment would be.
Apart from the incorrect trade types the ea appears to function as required, so V4 will include a GBP trigger. I probably won't do this before Christmas, so most likely is some time next week.
Hey guys, just a little update.
I added an option to only trade One order per candle.
I found by testing last week that if setting TP low I would have a few wins on the same candle because the EA would open another trade once the first one is closed because the trade criteria would still be valid when going in the same direction but then the last one on the candle would usually be the one that gets into DD because at that point the strength is changing.
Let me know if there are any issues.
Still early days but i will post a statement after 24 hours or so....looking good...
KG, SteveHop and You and a few other should get medals for all the work you guys are doing here....ya ya I know yu want moolah
Thanks again and a happy xmas to all
PS: I think i have found a way to make more than yu lose......EA for this mebbe? When pips in + make it 1-5 lots......when in minus....it changes to 0.001 lot size....VOILA! For anyone as slow as me upstairs.....joking joking......

Attached is version 3b.
It is probably a good idea to keep a note of the changes I make to each new version. As you can see from the notes, the details are cosmetic so don't bother downloading the latests unless this is an issue for you.
V3a took a successful USD triggered basket this morning - still on demo for now. Drawdown has been substantially lower than on my live account, so it looks as though waiting for a retrace is working.
Matrixebiz's ea is also harvesting the pips. This is fun.
Update details

Update details
- V3a: fixed the incorrect entries in the xxxUSDUSDxxx baskets.
- V3b: (1) Fixed the user feedback display. (2) Added feedback to show when the ea is waiting for a retrace to send a basket - shows a message such as 'Weak basket pending'.

HI steve
Why the current strength of JPY is not appearing on the top
Your first EA when attached to the chart used to show the
JPY numbers

I didn't have a problem. Have you done the usual - deleting the ea, closing the platform, rebooting and redownloading? That is what I do in similar situations.
