Steve,
I just started running this on demo. After it opened the first basket, I was wondering if there is a setting that will rank the pairs in a pending basket and open only the strongest...
No, there isn't. My imagination boggles at the idea of trying to code this.

The robot already distinguishes between those pairs that are heading in the right direction and those that are not - hence the BasketReverseNotCancel setting.

Given that this setting allows the robot to send trades in the direction of strength of each individual pair, it is hard to see how much more can be done.

I hang my head in shame.

Despite reading everything, despite changing everything I can to 30 pips for SL or TP to overcome my Brokers limits I still get the Error 130 no trade on SOME trades.

I would really hope that this EA would save these errors occuring from stupid people like me.

My review of the forum is that a LOT of people have this problem.

Sorry for being stupid but this CAN be coded out of any EA for stupid people like me regardless if we read this or other forums or not.

Not quite sure why you should hang your head in shame, David; clearly you do understand what is going on.

The answer to your request is, 'yes' and I shall do it. I have been busy, and am for most of today, but I shall do it. I was also waiting for a response to my query in post 533 about your use of auto-calculating the stop loss, but I assume you did not see it. 'Twould be helpful to know the answer.

I have added the code requested by David - V2.4 is in post 1.

I have released the robot's source code so that users can make their own alterations to default settings.

David, I still need to know about your robot sl/tp settings. I also need to know which trading method you are using. Pending trades are also stop orders; an incorrect/unacceptable price calculation will also result in an invalid stop error.

The title of this post says it all. Details in updates in post 1.

I have not tested the two-stage order thingy, so please report anomalies/bugs here as usual.

So sorry Steve. Got caught up in a family medical thing and have spent a bunch of time at the hospital.

To answer your question, I had the most problem with Jack the Pipper's set files from FXAW. I attach that here. That should answer your previous questions of what my settings were. They were fine for Jack on whatever broker he was using by no good for mine (Investtechfx). Lots' of 130 errors.

In order to solve the problems, I made a bunch of changes and I have attached that set file with my name in it.

There may be some good news in this. By changing the SL or pending orders to 30 pips to make things work I have had a great week. I just let it run while I was away from my computer Obviiously no long term results but I have attached those results for your review.

Seems I can only upload two files. My results are in the next post.

Which pairs should be the trigger?
Should only 2 be triggers, or all of them?

I am trying this on Forex.com and I do not have all the pairs, so I should not false next to all the pairs I do not have, correct?

Looking at your set files, my guess is the invalid stops errors were generated by the faulty coding I have corrected in the latest version. Sing out if they persist and I will look again.

Hey Steve,
What are you currently doing at the end of the week with your range trading?
Are you leaving everything as is and leaving trades open over the weekend, or are you closing them all down before market close?
Our DD is coming back, but far from enough to be at breakeven still.

I am not of the close-everything-down-for-the-weekend persuasion. I leave everything in place, as things will work themselves out the following week.

It has not been the sort of brilliant week we sometimes enjoy. Nearly +300 isn't bad, but the dd is deep, with 4 baskets all misbehaving. Even so, the dd has not reached 33%, and I have experienced dd far worse than that using this robot.

There cannot be any sense in closing baskets of trades at a loss just because of one particular event. Basket trading works because stronger trades make up for the poor performance of weaker ones.

At least, I hope they do. They have done since late last year.

Very good steve, I share the same opinion.
Glad to see my gut feel was the same as yours. I left mine open as well and we'll see if they work themselves out next week.
I do show I made 1290 pips this week however, so nothing to sneeze at.
I am entering the weekend with about a -2200 pip drawdown.
Trading .01 (10cent lots), my max open floating loss this week was -$330 (so about -3300 pips or so).

How do those results jive with yours?

It has been a much less profitable week this week, at +293. I do not trade the NZD (criminal spreads with IBFX), CAD (not available) and AUD (can't remember why not - better have a look at that) triggers, so that could explain the difference.

Current dd over 4 open baskets is approx 4,850, roughly 26% of the balance. 'Stuck' baskets can stay stuck for ages, then sort themselves out within minutes.

Interesting. I am using the same settings as you, and do not trade the same currencies.
I wonder if our difference is ibfx vs fxdd. If that's the case, I am very happy I do not trade with ibfx
Attaching the my statement and you can have a look if you'd like to find the differences.
