Hey mate
What was i expecting? As you said, just something to soften the blow. Although having said that I thought it may have prevented the stop.
I guess in reality that probably not possible.
regards,

Hi Damo12, Are you able to explain what you were expecting from the hedges.
I think it is only EY & UY hedge of the same value as their parts of the basket. This is to reduce the DD.
I dont think the Stop Loss figures change, as they come from the "emergency stop loss" and is applied to each pair in the basket. So they should still be there after hedges are opened.

Just found out that selecting no live trading in the expert properties doesnt stop the alarm making a racket when it wants to open another buy. All at the same time that I was trying...

I have been naughty. I set the trade comment to "eat my ass" got an email from the broker dealer (a friend of mine) saying simply "LOL!"...

Hello everyone;

First, thank u Steve for all the hard work and ur fast enhacments on the ea.

Second, I had 3 buy baskets which all ended hitting stoploss (v1.4 no hedging), my account is now -600$ demo. I have been visually testing the indicator since this thread started, what is happening that on h1 the indicator stays above 70 or below 30, then the m15 moves under 90 or above 10 then the trade is triggered, but on h1 the indicator is still above 70 or below 30 and the trend is continuing, while m15 took the wrong trade because of it's movement, I also tried the h4 and h1 same happens when h4 stays foot because of a trend, and h1 starts to take bad trades. I believe we should look at trading the indicator in a different way, I don't know it is just me, just wanted to report what I observed.

I really don't understand why there is a need for a 24H EA. The 2.8 is working amazing and if you look at your chart and read the *pdf's posted by Scooby-Doo, then you can just send manual baskets and adjust TP multiplier accordingly EACH TIME .... The robot cant do that for you ever!
Since I finally got the manual baskets thing to work on 2.7+, thanks to Steve, I had 1 auto and 3 manual baskets with TP multiplier ranging from 200-600 close in profit today!

Side note. KG v3 is a 24hr EA and it has given me 60% in last 4 weeks of trading it live alone.

I guess some people just want EA to do everything

BTW Steve and Scooby-Doo : the hedging system on 2.8 is just sexy

Same here, I just changed the TP multiplier to 400 on that basket, since Yen has lots of "room" to move

I took a 35% loss on the 24hr, and shut it off. Looks like the current moves are all risk averse moves. Someone thinks something bad is gonna happen and is telling others.

We have to be careful here because the yen crosses have been ranging for the last week meaning this strategy has been a lot more attractive. I also would imagine that the first trade at the start of Tokyo has a higher probability because of less market participants.

That way, you REALLY learn. If it doesn't hurt, it won't work!

Quick question about the News Filter impact setting:

Do the values 1 (low) 2 (med) 3 high) mean it will it will stop trading if there is low, med or high impact news when set to one of these?
Or do these settings mean e.g. 1 (low) as in low setting, in which case only high impact news will stop the EA trading?
Thanks in advance for the clarification.

(The Swiss Trade Balance (high impact) was out this morning. Could this have had an adverse effect? Thats for someone with more knowledge than me to answer. I know the News Filter is set to just AUD, JPY, USD now, but just curious.)

not sure if this has been suggested before

but I manually trade this outside the "normal trading hours" much like the 24 hour bot. but I take the extra filter of making sure the 4hr chart signal aligns as well.
Ditto for me.... Deathbait.

I have been trading the yen basket for a few months live, using supp and resis and fibos on the 4 hour usually GJ often EJ. Thanks to Scoob, I have found the basket indicator invaluable for this. Thanks to Steve, using robot to force open and manage my trades. Had a good day, about 7% onto account balance in last 30 hours or so.


Thanks again, Steve and Scoob.

I'm still in the buy basket as I have my protection at 30% (call me nuts but I need space) but my hedge didn't work. And yes... my broker allows hedging!!!
