I took a minor loss, and felt good to get back nearly to B.E., on this run.
Perhaps the U.S. traders give the market some punch that was not there tonight, due to the national holiday.

My IBFX sell basket is still open but in profit. It actually got close to TP and then retraced a bit. I'll keep an eye on it and not let it retrace back into DD.
Over confidence can be a moral hazard.... not to mention a financial one!

I managed to run away with nice profit on all xxxJPY but AUDJPY :| which I left - I am gonna close it @BE. I did also open a tiny sell xxxJPY basket (as a scientist, I could not resist ) - we will see how we go.

I will close all JPYs between 5:00AM and 5:30AM, I reckon.

No they don't. I am answering for matrixebiz to make sure you have not misunderstood.

Inmediatebuybasket opens a buy xxxJPY basket etc.

What matrixebis is describing is a graphical representation of a gizmo that immediately closes an open basket. Given that speed is crucial once the decision to close a basket is taken, this feature would be brilliant if incorporated into the robot.

Hey Steve, well actually as I mentioned you can use it for any function you wanted, so if you did want to use it for Inmediatebuybasket you could.
Basically all you do is change the Text string from CloseAll to Inmediatebuybasket and change the X-Y coordinates to where you want it on your chart and add your call to run the Inmediatebuybasket() function to the end. See code below for all you need to change. Let me know if its unclear.
Inserted Code
if (ObjectFind("Inmediatebuybasket") == -1){ObjectCreate("Inmediatebuybasket", OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0);
    ObjectSet("Inmediatebuybasket", OBJPROP_BACK, 0);
    ObjectSet("Inmediatebuybasket", OBJPROP_CORNER, 0);
    ObjectSet("Inmediatebuybasket", OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 6);
    ObjectSet("Inmediatebuybasket", OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 60);
    ObjectSetText("Inmediatebuybasket","Inmediatebuybasket", 12,"Times New Roman",Blue);
    }
if (ObjectFind("Inmediatebuybasket") != -1&&ObjectGet("Inmediatebuybasket", OBJPROP_XDISTANCE)!=6){
    ObjectSet("Inmediatebuybasket", OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 6);
    ObjectSet("Inmediatebuybasket", OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 60);
    RunInmediatebuybasketFunction();}  // This is where you call what ever you want to run if object is moved
Here is a pic below of an Equity Trail EA I use that has three movable objects circled - close all, close half and Lock Profit now which I can move any of them and it will activate that function.

All you need to do is make sure that the numbers stay the same location for the two spots I have circled (Can be any number of course for the coordinates, and the other circle the same number as the one that is attached with the red line.

Sorry, not to put anyone offtopic, but I've been using the RS group strength index on the M5 chart manually scalping away. Thought I'd get the idea out there.

Using the same rules, I wait for the line to go over either 90 or below 10. After that I wait for it to go back to the 50 mark then open up the basket trade (If its coming down from 90 to 50 enter long, if its coming up from 10 to 50 enter short).

I use fxcm's trading platform Trade Station - so I cant open the basket at the same time, but have the trade mode set to one-click so I can open them fairly quickly (also my basket consists of only EJ, GJ and UJ).

I'm scalping so im aiming for anywhere between 3-10pips each trade. Switching to a higher timeframe you can also apply this method, or see where you are in the bigger picture and can possibly hold your positions longer. I've accumulated 40pips today and have another basket open atm with a long position so we'll see how this one goes.

Gidday from downunder (the Kiwi version).

First time posting. I have been one of those "invisible" people for the last couple of years, but this thread has fascinated me so much it's brought me out of hiding.

As a newbie to forexfactory forum posting I hereby declare that I have read the thread and will not bring up timezones. I also hereby promise not to get offended by the fact that Scooby hates my currency!

I want to thank Scooby and Steve for sharing this method. It's certainly different from anything I have seen before and would seem to have plenty of scope for success.

Looking forward to running this method through it's paces.

Cheers

Still playing around with it on my micro live test account.
Was at 80 today to find out... will start with 120 for TC and see then.
AUDJPY closed with loss and all others BE or profit.

My normal daily manual trading style is more taking 5 pips with big lot sizes then waiting for THIS run and trying to capture the whole swing which anyway never works and is costing me time and nerves.
So a basket with a total of 5-30 pips quickly done is fine for me.

this may have already been mentioned, but if there is an open sell basket and then a buy signal occurs (may be happening now), what does the EA do?

Steve,
Looks like there's an issue with the basket tp in 2.3. Am trying to catch a screenshot for you, but my basket tp level is 75, and I just saw my buy basket hit a upl of 150, and it never even thought about closing.
It's dropped back down now so waiting for it to go up again so I can grab a screenshot for you.

There must be a bug in tradingsession. My Alpari took a sell 23.00GMT
The basket closed 07.36 GMT
It closed in the Buy session and I think it would try to buy.
But in window "Trading finished for this session"
Restarted Alpari, same result.

Yes I had the same but deleted the global and took the buy a few minutes later. I was watching indicators and they were above the levels so I could see a buy should be imminent. You need to go tools - global variables and delete the last session time variable for this to work

Steve

I noticed something very strange lastnight on Alpari (UK).

The prcies and amounts were changing on the trades but the indicator didnt move for 2 minutes.

Thats kinda worrying whatever caused it.
