Ok finally a trade from a basket trader , 6 to be precise (fxdd @ 9:15)

Sell trades 0.01 in size:

usdjpy,gbpjpy,eurjpy,chfjpy,cadjpy,audjpy over all in the green atm

from the looks of it i am already liking the basket EA more then single trader,
i am guessing since it is using KG indi ?

According to the rules the basket trader should be looking for buys now.

That is a good point

There is a bug in the RS_GROUP_JPY V1.2 for any broker that does not have CADJPY. From what I can see it is calculating on 7 JPY pairs. If CADJPY is not there as in IBFX, or other pairs like FXDD then the average of the sum of the 7 pairs devided by the total 7 pairs will be weighted and off. I know this, because I looked at it in my hex editor. It is not a problem if they are all there, but for each pair that is missing from a broker the error is compounded. The problem is that when you take the total of all of the individual currency calculations and then divide them by the total number of currencies, you get correct amplitude. However, if you are missing a currency or more, and you are dividing by the same total of currencies listed, you are losing amplitude and the Indi may not make it to the 80 or 90 or 20 or 10 that is was supposed to. So, the total of the calculation must be divided by the total calcs to arrive at the correct amplitude. Just a heads up.

A way around this might be to add bit of code that checks for the pairs and then if some are missing, adjusts the divisor and the sum to get a correct average reading.

Not to be a pest, but I also noticed it took a basket sell at 07:15 GMT

According to the rules isn't this the time for buys only, or am I confused?

From the PDF:
Monitor for BUY XXXJPY pairs from 06.30am GMT until 08.30am GMT.

BTW, I admire how you have put this together and been so gracious on all the changes that have been made as it developed. You have infinite patience and generosity. LOL

Yes, I see someone else posted this already as I was writing it. Sorry for the redundancy.

Thanks to everyone on the answer to your time frames.

Some brokers like ODL do not like the stop loss at the same time as the order. I ran into this writing a EA for someone else who uses ODL. Have you googled MT4error 130?

Or perhaps you set your disaster stop too close and forgot you are not using a 5 digit broker.

yes I have the mt4 130 error,

I changed the the Criminalls ECN to true and it solved the problem.

But I am just terrible with the time zones and have been trying to work out what sell time and but times I should have ... but have to been able too.

I amd in Melbourne Australia ... is anyone kind enough to tell me what time I should have set in the EA ... it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Found the bug that turned off trading a bit too soon - download the update from post 1.

'Tis up and running on my demo now, and I am going to extend the trading period by an hour to see what happens.

Thank you, Steve. This update is for me essential and for all living in timezones GMT, GMT+1 and GMT+2. I hope that I helped squash this bug. Easily you could have used my code, that I posted before.

One more issue (reported before me), robot took today morning SELL trades instead of BUY.

I just changed my system clock to GMT and that way it is in sync with my broker and just about everything else I use my trading computer for and I don't even think about time conversions anymore.
