have been slowly working through the T101 Indicators thread from the beginning (before the offline charts came about)

at this point there was much value placed on the Indicator Account, and later on, on the Virtual Indicator Account Indi to determine which direction we should be going in (short / long / range)

however I also noticed that the "purists" are still today basing there decisions using this original concept - however are using a standard chart (usually GBPJPY as it represented the basket the best) to look at timing

even though here we are concentrating on the offline chart - does it not make sense to still base some of our decisions off a "virtual indicator acct."

For instance the weekly VIA is showing Short Strong, and looking at our chart, this would definitely hold true, then we would be ideally looking at retracements to open a new basket

the VIA is also clearly showing several currencies that would go against a short basket - primarily USDCHF (because on a short basket we would actually buy) & EURUSD

I am wondering if in our quest for excellence, we have refined a little too much off the system, and should maybe include a VIA as part of the bot - possibly replacing my current attempt at basket balance

any thoughts ????

Yes
just a 15min with 240 Has plus BB

Using mostly limits and Stops only

sometimes I use the actual buy or sell. When I get a sell alert for example and the limit or stop is real close I'll just pull the trigger
.
Like a few minutes ago I had a stop limit right at the bottom of the Has and I got a sell alert SO I just did a sell

currently +$2 .. so at least the spread is gone at this time...

Been trying to understand the basket balance numbers more too.

Don't have an answer to it yet but It will be a factor down the road I feel

very happy with this bot

little supprise there is not more people on the thread....maybe that is a good thing.....

Run Silent Run deep with pips

fine with me as long as I am here


What I will do to is if PA is going down below the BB I place a buy stop
if the pa still goes down I will replace the buy stop again.... like just now I did it now it is at the bottom of the bb before it was at the middle line

Well just closed that other basket for profit
up over 13% and 1100 pips this week.....

attached is that 8 pair inde GVC made it I think... I changed the code for gold silver to suit my broker

Hello John,

I just came across your thread and your impressive work. Very nice of you to share. I will put it on a demo and try it out. I work many hours so I do not know how much feedback I can give you but when I get time I will try. You are truly a giver. I hope no one tries to steal your work.

Regards,
Jeff

There are probably a lot of lurkers like me who are trying to keep up with Mr Hopwood and at the same time trying to get their heads round basket trading with this bot.

Since I am not able to trade the London session, I need to figure out how to code the TLE so that I can get the bot to do it for me.

This is one of the best bots I have seen for a long well (along with the TMS bot that Seller9 has been refining.)

Thanks for all the great work!

will get more action I am sure when it becomes fully automated.

dryclean, dd in your report doesn't show your actual running dd during your baskets, those are more important imo

I run account sentry to track open dd at all times, I like to know what my actual risk is any time I have trades open.

jmw, nice work on your bot, I look forward to playing with it in the near future

@ Dryclean

Are you running this during the US and Asian sessions, or during the London session also?

@ JM1970

Can I call custom indies in your TLE, or just regular MT4 standard ones?

the open one order script is ONLY used when you already have opened a basket

I think you are mixing up several different things

the market read and how to use the scripts

please read the documentation provided

it clearly states what to do with market read, and when to use open one order
Thank you. Went back reading the documentation again including the source codes. There must be some parameter I missed to include the basket type which I am tryng to locate.

TLE can contain any indi, icluding calls to other custom indi's

A TLE is basically a "wrapper" for the bot

it allows the bot to have a defined entry and exit list

what the TLE actually does with that information inside it - doesn't matter

Hi DC

When only trading 8 pair baskets, which indicator version are You using to draw the 8 pair charts? Are You using this indi modified by GVC? Or are You still using the 14 pair offline charts to make the trading decisions?
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...40#post4930040

I haven't tried GVC's indicator version, but I'll check it out. I'd definitely prefer to make trading decisions based upon a chart showing the price action of the basket I'm trading.

Cheers and thanks a lot to John and other contributors for their great work!

Hello Pat1

on the chart?

Dan,

Its is similar to T101 indicator except it calculates with a slightly different procedure.

Follw these guidelines:
1. Open a GJ 1M chart.
2. Place or drag Basket14v4 onto the chart.
3 . Indi opens a dialog box . Select four values as you require

i. Basket Number . For now leave it at 14.
ii Name your Symbol or leave at default BINSTT
iii. Selct TF. can be any 1,5,15,30,60,240,1440,10080,43200
iv. MaxBars - leave at 1000 except for daily and above use 200, 50, 5.
v. Click OK.
4. The dialog box stays on the screen for a while 2-10 secs
5. Click on File, Select OpenOffline and look for BINSTT
6. Select and click open.

You should have a chart open up with something like BINSTT1M

For additional TimeFrames of the Basket repaeat the procedure except change the TF and MaxBars - Rinse and Repeat.

Hope This helps

Cheers

Pat

A word of caution.
Had MT4 suddenly freeze on me, due not placing HAS Mtf on the correct chart.
Had no idea what caused that and spent hours trying restarts, log file deletes, new download etc. to avoid a re-install.
Finally, fixed the problem by going to Experts/ Indicators folder and deleting the HAS mq4 file. (Replace it after MT 4 unlocks itself )

welcome to the world of multi timeframe indicators on offline charts

if i can actually manage to follow Kos's method profitably i will be writing a new version of HAS MTF which will be based on the work i did for Project Ultra

this new version will then not require that the other timeframe offline charts are open, they don't even need to have been created by the T101 price indicator

but for now until i can get Kos's method stuck in my brain i won't bother
