Yes, so EA should triggers alerts accordingly, right?
Also, my Close button works, strange is that I found half of basket closed by EA, all in profit, other half left open, even visual TP was far away, and Value TP was 100 (profit was below 10)
I don't say

yeah there is some strange quirk that if when it closes a basket a gets some sort of error (ie. tradecontextbusy) it stops closing the basket

you then have to re-press the close basket again - not a big issue but there you go - will try and fix it if i can find out why

yes the ea should trigger alerts if you have nanningbob & ea trade conditions both set to true

sorry dryclean, must have missed this part

do you mean that you want some sort of "Pending" functionality???

ie, Pending Buy/Sell, there is a line on the screen and you move it to where visually you want it to enter, and if necessary the EA opens for you when price passes that point??

If so - that shouldn't be too difficult to put in, just need to work out where to put the buttons

Regards, John

Bravo!,

If a visual entry could be made that would be way cool

I manually set a line just at the top blue or bottom red HAS and then decide to enter or not.

I believe I have the EA and indi setup correctly....but in the upper right corner of the offline EA chart I get "NB Basis-None". The EA has been running for about 3 Hours on Alpari-US. Do I just need to wait longer or is something not set right?
Thanks

you need to read the instructions

where it says NB 10.0 Basis is a button, you have to press the button to set the read or trading style you will be using

Real problem is that it should not close anything at that point.
Will keep an eye on it...

Thank you... I didn't realize the first time the EA was loaded it would say Basis-None. Working now
Again,
Thank you

hmm, strange

i know that occasionally i have accidentally pressed some buttons (being a bit too eager in highlighting them) but for me it has never closed when I wasn't expecting it

i think for safety I will add message boxes to the really important buttons like buy/sell/close - then you really are sure you want to do it

looks like the next version will mainly be updates to how the basics of the bot works

anybody got anywhere on testing whether it's alerts seem to be roughly correct??

Version 1.1 is now available from the first post

There have been a LOT of changes and bug fixes, which probably means I have introduced quite a few more bugs in to it

The main changes/fixes in 1.1 are

Ability to trail, either by fixed dollar amount or percentage
Fixed problems with rank values always been short by 1 USD
Changed the definition of min profit to break even
Added the ability to enter “Pending” orders
Fixed the multiple alert problem
Added message box confirmations to the important buttons of buy/sell (normal & pending) and close


Please only report errors now based on this new version

My question is don't brokers also read these forums, and can't they downlaod these public EA's and find ways to hamper thier efficeincy when traders us them? i think that is why many EA's fail in the long run. Maybe starting a skype group also would be a good idea for developing this idea. If anyone starts one please count me in.

well it's taken a while (as the markets were really quiet) but at least my basket is starting to make some moves...

hopefully in the correct direction

from your #1 post jmw 1970

Although this bot was originally designed to be used in conjunction with NanningBob's 10.0 philosophy, it can also be used as a stand-alone trader for the T101 system using whatever manual system you have in place.

THANK YOU

cool, the more people that can contribute the better....

am still busily working away on this bot, mainly at the moment on more generalized things as I am still waiting to hear from people on the alerts

In the next release when there are NO OPEN trades, it will show the general basket balance

this system obviously works better when all pairs in the basket are in tandem, the next release will show easily when there is a basket imbalance and therefore maybe not a good idea to trade

example picture below

This should be fairly obvious but you never know.....

as I clearly stated in my first post, my knowledge of NB 10.0 and T101 basket trading is EXTREMELY limited

which means I am adding stuff to the bot that I think may be helpful - though those of you with more experience probably know better.

The bot can only be as good as the people who designed it, not on the person who coded it - therefore leaving the bot to my design is NOT A GOOD IDEA

you have been warned ..........

I have just been messing around with the EA and managed to enter wrong way, looks like your Sell should be doing ok soon as my long is down!

I decided to hedge a basket using the script TradeHedgeSellAll with 0.02 just to see if i can get a profit or just BE and start again. I looked at iExposure and it should be 2 trades per pair but i had two 1 trades. Then i noticed that in your EA you use CADJPY for pair 3 where as the script and the history generator indy use USDCHF !! Did you mean to do this, it just means you only have 1 CAD pair in the basket and i thought it was meant to be a balanced basket if using all 14 pairs, maybe i misunderstood.

Just thought i would point out the difference.

Thanks for all your effort.

Mike

i have corrected it for the next release, though in the mean time you can update your version

cheers

Could someone who is an expert in T101 please advise if this following idea makes sense

in the example picture above I showed the new balance table for when there is no open orders to show the true balance of each pair in the basket

obviously the more in balance the basket is (ie. all pairs going the same way) the better the chance the trade has of closing in profit.

my idea is to have a "Pair Min Balance", there would be only one value and it would be automatically set to positive or negative depending on the trade open request

an example to explain my thinking is as follows

Pair Min Balance is set to 20

Buy Basket Request - therefore Pair Min Balance is set to (-20)

the EA ONLY opens an order for that pair where the balance for the pair is above this value (ie, only remove the pairs that are Strongly going against your direction)

so if the pair is only slightly going against (ie 0 or -5 for example) it would still be included.

Of course this would mean you had a slightly imbalanced basket however is it not better to have a slightly unbalanced basket but with pairs that are at least going in your direction??

Thoughts anyone who is more familiar with T101

p.s. have been fervently coding today the new release, which addresses the stability issues with opening and closing orders, as well as a few extras
