First of all interesting thread, I am new to T101 but read almost all about it .. lot's of stuff going on lately .. so my question is, before you make offline chart do you need to download all M1 history for all of 14 currencies?

Thank you in advance.

hi alto

the amount of history you need depends on what timeframe you are trading t101 on,

so eg, you want to trade on 15m, and you have a particular system with a template, go to each of the 14 currencies and apply the template, if you have enough data to make your template look correct, then you have enough for t101

by default the indicator will only create 1000 bars of back history

Not a real fan of button pressing
I like to use script files I have screwed buttons up too!
Could a script file be used I've attached maybe all you have to do is change the magic number I use 1 or odd for buy 2 or possitive for sells then I use close all scritp that I can close which magic number I'd like
(doesn't always work)

Attached if anyone is interested.....EU UCHF not switched

OK, thanks for reply. I want to trade on 15m, so let's say I open 15min E/U, apply indy (t101_indy_pricehistory_v3-dnk_donfix14_hopfi2k_zero_div_fix tick_fix.mq4) .. and then it creates offline chart, as I understood correctly that offline chart is combined chart of 14 currencies. I guess indy gets data from price history, right?

I'm using those and they work fine with EA as long as you change magic number to be the same 1010101. They only allow one trade per currency to be opened in one direction. If you want to add more or for recovery you need to modify them to check the lot size. The attached seem to work fine.

yeah, but you have to be really special to mess up button pressing as I did

I mean, it asked me to confirm that I wanted to sell, so in effect, I screwed up TWICE

good job I have my pointy hat with a big D close to me at all times

it's very simple
in the first 20 pages from the original thread Julius outlined basic basket trading rules

if 14 currencies basket candles go up,you must trade long all the pairs but not USDCHF
USDCHF must be traded in the opposite direction
it would be good to edit the DonFix indicator as well

doesn't that mean then that the scripts that have been uploaded to the thread by dc and magft then are also wrong

they also buy or sell the whole basket

what is wrong with the DonFix indicator?? And WHAT IS the DonFix indicator

is it the T101 price history indicator??

and also

if we have to go opposite on USDCHF, shouldn't we then be going opposite on USDJPY as well???

My setup doesn't match yours, can you explain my screwup:
1. load the 15m chart with t101 indicator
2. Retrieve the offline 15 min t101 chart.
3. load the 15min offline with the trader ea??

at this point the screen is as you see it ??
it nevers changes except for the currencies running
4. I load the script in this case sell, still no reaction from the EA ??

I don't see the buttons that have been mentioned ??
I don't get the bollinger bands??
The currency position is visable on the 15min chart but not on the offline chart as it would be with the RENKO charts??

Help!

Hi Traderduke

bollinger band is not part of the ea, you have to add it normally

if you used a script to create the orders and not one of the buttons are you sure the script and the ea has the same magic number

my ea uses a default magic number of 1010101

hover your mouse over one of your trades in terminal and it will show you the magic number, then change the ea to have the same magic number

using scripts is fine to create the trades BUT YOU MUST ENSURE that the script magic number and the ea magic number are the same

hence it is much easier to use the buttons on the ea, then it is guaranteed

currency position cannot be shown on the offline chart as the currency for the offline chart is ##T101##

another reason to use the buttons is it will put the trade arrows on the chart when it opens and closes

read the first post of this thread again.....

the "buttons" are pseudo "buttons"

so where it says things like "Buy Basket" "Sell Basket" etc.

these are the buttons

highlight them and drag, hey presto - button pressed

not sexy I know but proper buttons aren't available until MT5 which traders of this method won't want to switch too as it does NOT allow offline charts (at the moment, it may change before it is fully rolled out)

of course with all this discussion on USDCHF it might explain why I am not as profitable as before when i accidentally had the wrong basket list

and this thing with going opposite seems to make sense looking at the raw currency charts (and from a logical point of view)

Thanks John,

Your EA is gathering momentum.

The virtual pair position is a definite plus.

I am using the EA on the H1 chart with a Look Back of 2.
I am presuming the look back excludes the current bar?

So far so good.

Current trade just gone into the positive.

yeah, it's also getting to be quite a beast

we haven't really started much on the auto trading part, most of what has been done so far is the basket management part

who knows how big it will be when it's finally finished

glad to see you've gone positive basket

though of course there is still the open discussion on the opposite trade stuff

code for checking balance is

current bar ma value
lookback bar ma value

difference positive / negative

I hear you.

As far as the negative pairs go I am fortunate that it rarely affects me because I have only been trading the 8 pair basket for a while.
So opposite trades rarely if ever affect me.

The 8 pair also gives candles with near normal bodies and wicks. I find the long wicks on the 14 pair distracting.

I have just closed the basket for 100 odd pips.
This is on a Live penny account.

I had the wrong magic because I never changed it in the Ea & THEN COMPILED. So all my little changes which I then compiled put your Magic into the chart, me bad!! I only need to know, the button, Drag it to where? When I click on BUY or Pending I get a double edged arrow and I've been draging them all over the place, I apoligize for taking up your time on such basics. I'm testing using pairs that correlate TOGETHER more often then not.

This is an exceptional product and Idea.

Thanks

WOW, on my development version I have added

certain pairs trade opposite (user definable)
ability to exclude certain pairs when opening a buy / sell basket

- on the left of the screen at the comments you can see the pairs i set to trade oppositely
- on the right of the screen below the basket details you can see the pairs i said to exclude (the 2 in gray)

normally my basket takes a while to get into profit
with these two mods, in profit very quickly

drag them anywhere, as long as they are not in their default position they will be considered pressed
