Hayseed,

please dont understand me wrong. your a real asset to this community. and i am here only 2 months. so i should not have even made that remark to you. however the way you added your message it seemed to me you had no intention to for sharing the EA. and after what has happened the last couple of weeks i would not blame you at all. not to mention people selling your hard work and EAs etc all over the internet. so that is why i can understand it perfectly.

however i do feel that the 2 people that deserve it the most outside of someone who adds hardwork in completely rewriting the indis for an EA( hayseed well that is you! ) are Kos and Don.

have a good day and hopefully all is going well for you.

Kos,

What script are you using to open your basket trades? I've looked through the attachments and the forum and see a few scripts but I don't see where you ID one that you use.

I've been using Orest's EA but it's a little heavy and I can't add to a basket with it, so I'd rather use a script instead.

Hi,
How do you activate the open orders of the Samir Daily Trades Indicator?
Thank you very much for your answer!

Hi Kos,

Can you confirm if you are waiting on a short entry at present (T101 ind has crossed down + price is now below the trend magic line) just waiting for samir daily to signal 'short strong'? Is that how you are reading it (uk time 6pm GMT)

Hope this makes sense!

Cheers
Kevin.

Hi Wingate!

Hi kos,

sorry for late update but was busy and now just watching worldcup soccer.

however made +380 pips today with this buy order by Kos rules.

also for the next trade. is condition 4 ( samir has already 6 pairs united, should we not enter the trade yet? ) i thought 5 were already enough to open the trade?

anyway goodluck on the next trade lets see were it will go.

whaoo!!!

a lot of waiting and Samir refused to co-operate, all other conditions ok, there would be another day.

I think there is something not right within samir, but since there is no alternative, I will live with it now.

Is there no one using any of the EAs? May be the samir calculations have been corrected. I know Don said something about its calculation not accurate.

so long for today, one short term buy basket for +320 pips, now its going down but samir is not reflecting the downward trend so I wait out.

see you 2moro

Samir uses daily open as reference, as I can see, all these bars coming down now are all above that reference(GMT 0 OPEN). If you follow Samir signals, you can only trade long above daily open, short under daily open.

Thanks again for everybody's reports, especially Kos, I personally don't get hold of this system yet, so I will stand aside and lurk for now.

Kos,

If that would have worked, then turning off 'UseTFforTrendConfirmation' in user input on Robert's last-posted EA (not the last EA I posted) should have caught those trades.

Also, profit-locking wasn't mentioned, but instead exit by MACD cross was mentioned, so I would turn user input 'EnableLocking' off also.

So to re-iterate: If nobody is testing this version, looks like it should be tested with defaults except for these user inputs turned off.

Regards,

Don

Yes good markings, except for the 2nd close which should have been earlier than your blue circle, and the second sell was a re-entry which I took beautifully this week, 3 baskets 2 Shorts & 1 Long all winning for more than +4500 pips

have a fun filled weekend

letbe,

The Samir indicator uses the wrong bar for week beginning on current chart because of MT4 glitch IMHO. Maybe because of the Samir built his indicator, mmine might be wrong. I use the open price of the first bar of the week on this timeframe. Samir uses iOpen given by MT4. Two methods to get the open price of each pair. If all prices are accurate using either method, then there should be no problem as long as Samir also counted each pair's spread and pip currency value. If they differ, I let my method be known because I saw at times that last week's last bar's open price was being used instead of this week's first bar's open price. When a gap happens over the weekend, I prefer my method because I see it as being true and not giving false prices IMHO.

I see where you said GMT was used in Samir indicator. Mind showing me where, cause I can't find it?

I worked around the glitch in my EAs so that they are accurate. Having said that, it looks like the timezone of Kos broker would be needed to be used by everyone (or GMT Offset code added) if someone were to use timeframe. Unless this is corrected, which I don't have intentions of doing at this point (and also because of profit-locking numbers being too tight), I recommend using the EA and settings that I mentioned in my last post and letting us all know the results of testing.

Regards,

Don

to Don

SEE this funtion, check the red line:

double OpenWeek(string a_symbol_0, int ai_8) {// considers the opening of the week, bais adds to spread
double ld_ret_12;
if (ai_8 < 8) ld_ret_12 = iOpen(a_symbol_0, PERIOD_W1, 0);
 else ld_ret_12 = iOpen(a_symbol_0, PERIOD_W1, 0);// + MarketInfo(a_symbol_0, MODE_SPREAD) * MarketInfo(a_symbol_0, MODE_POINT);
return (ld_ret_12);
}

This is taken from A-Samir-UNIVERSAL.mq4 in this thread, of course, it is weekly indicator marked by PERIOD_W1, for daily, this should be PERIOD_D1, I think, which means current day open.

As I understand, timezone or spread don't make big difference to signal type here.

Kos and all the experts,

please take a look at my entry (attached).

Did I made a valid entry? I felt that it was risky actually; Since the sequence was somehow far apart.

Story:
Just finished reading up this thread. I tried setting up the indies and the template provided a few hours ago.

I saw the cross (first blue line), I believe it was NY session, but according to this thread, samir weekly was long strong so need to wait (I slept). This morning (asian session, 4 hours prior to london open), Samir Daily is indicating strong short. MACD is below, BI is about to cross (2nd blue line).

Samir weekly during the 2nd blue line went from long to none to short.

I trailed up and got out well. Hmmm... did I just scalp?

I look forward to your comments please.

Hi beehjae!

yes valid entry, as per the rules.

good feeling as per the sequence of the rules, I think samir delayed too much yesterday, and I left the PC alone.

yes you scalped but nothing bad in that, if that's your personality, see profit take profit, not allow +450 go down to +12 as Trade4fun and I did on friday, though we followed the rules to exit by MACD.

However, there would be a day you will pick +100 and the thing would go +2500 within 1hr, don't beat yourself that day.

Do it manually, be patient, at a point the basket trades would naturally come into your hands, you dont need to chase it or form it. 1 or 2 trades a week that will deliver the profit of 2 months into your pipbanks

I get it, profit is profit, just don't let a winner turn to a big LOSER.
I will also try to stay and follow MACD crossing back, if it can help the winners to breathe.

Yeah, the drop so cool.

I actually don't know how to handle the "hanging" part. Since it went up for an hour first before the real dive.
