Hi John

I have finally got the EA's aesthetics looking right.
Not critical I know, but it looks so damn good.

Thank you for this fantastic EA.

If anyone wants the digiface fonts for their EA, here is the download.

one immediate bug i can see in your code

Inserted Code
   // Get tma bands
   gd_Upper = iCustom(NULL,0,Indy1,"current time frame",56,PRICE_CLOSE,2.0,100,true,0,Shift);
   gd_Mid = iCustom(NULL,0,Indy1,"current time frame",56,PRICE_CLOSE,2.0,100,true,0,Shift);
   gd_Lower = iCustom(NULL,0,Indy1,"current time frame",56,PRICE_CLOSE,2.0,100,true,0,Shift);
   gd_MidPrev = iCustom(NULL,0,Indy1,"current time frame",56,PRICE_CLOSE,2.0,100,true,0,Shift+1);

you are not switching the mode, ie. just before Shift - you are always retrieving...
John thanks for spotting the deliberate mistake

But I can't get your examples to trade either, have I missed something else? I also think my criteria might need modifying as I try more manual trades.

Thanks

what i normally do is just have the tle send alerts first, then add in the trading

not sure why mine aren't working for you though, they work on mine

will see if i can see an obvious mistake

Has anyone had the same problem i set up offline chart using the t101 price history fix indy posted but my offline chart shows bars with hardly any range

sorry if this is an idiot question but just wondered if it is an issue with my broker or just me being stupod
When you have just opened your offline chart or just started mt4 then it usually does not display all the candles on the offline chart.

Option 1. Go back to your chart where you placed your indicator.Open the indicator list and open your T101_Indi_PriceHistory.... and press OK.
This will update the history to your offline chart.

Option 2. Leave your T101_Indi.... on the chart and close mt4 and then restart. This will also update the history for the offline chart.

Regards

Hello everyone. I just read quickly through most of this thread and a couple others that I've found along the posts and seem to be related to this topic.

Please don't think I'm a lazy motherf*cker (as I'm ready to do my required reading in order to be able to test this strategy properly), I'd just like to kindly ask to all of you experienced T101 basket traders: Where should I start reading in order to get my head around this strategy and all the technical requirements (offline charts, etc) for trading it?

Any help would be very much appreciated

Hi DC,
The Kos posts are very structured at the start, but then seem to drift around.
Found the GVC thread helpful in understanding the basket concept, but got a bit lost later with the Excel. The original thread is massive and much seems to be obsolete.
Could you suggest any key posts.
Thanks,

What setting do you have the Has on It lyou are on a 5 min chart waht is the HAS 15Min ??

I use 1 min chart 15 HAS 15min chart 240 HAS
With 5 - 15 The HA 15min setting on 5 min chart looks like Kos's. I have had NO luck loading any other HA other than the 15 HA on ANY chart.

1-15 HA 15 on one minute chart looks right. nothing other than 15 HA will work on the 15

The 240 on the 15 (like you have it) locks mine up.

NOTHING IS WORKING ON THE LONGER TIME FRAME SETTINGS

The recommended HA sets with the recommended timeframes on ANY OTHER than this, locks it up 100% of the time for ME. The EASY BTS 1hr template posted on the other thread has been worthless for me.
Any other HA timeframe than 15 locks up my platform 100% of the time, but doesn't look like any of Kos's on anything other than the 1min and 15 min chart

I have been trading on the 5 and have good results. I have been experimenting with these HA setups, but have not been too concerned since sooner or later, a solution usually presents itself. There's plenty of time.

I thought this evening, I might try clearing the T101 history, and re-loading the price history. Perhaps my history setting on my platform is set too low.

Hope this makes sense.

Hi Pat

don't know what it is, I could not get the Basket14v4 to work properly

it creates the history file, but when i open the offline chart it says waiting for update

it is something to do with the pairs

if I select basket 14 it works, if i select basket 8 it doesn't

could it have something to do with negative values?? i know you mentioned a problem when it gets a HLOC less than 0, could 8 pairs cause that?

weird...

John,

Here is a Universal BASKET indi.

Removed the Sync function for now.
Added tf extern variable.
Added Get_Trade_Pairs function.

Let me know if it requires Tweaking.

Please note that the indicator is as good as the data you have in your history folder.

Cheers

Pat

If you want a 15 min Offline TF with a 4HR TF HAS you must make a 4 HR offline chart.... Any MTF indi on an Offline chart you use you must have that offline chart must exist otherwise MT4 doens't know where to look and MT4 is stupid enough

I make a offline 1 min 15 min 1 hr and 4hr you can add a 5min but this is already killing your processing power....

Will do that. Page 250 starting at post #3742 he outlines STF and LTF .
To better understand it, I'm putting together a summary of the system at this stage in its evolution. I have still to get to grips with John's TLEs, but with the digiface buttons, had demo trades last night that I thought I'd never achieve.

Hi John,

I noticed that too. The 1400 factor is the cause.
Attached is Basket14v5

It #1 renames the currency to BSKT with number of pairs selected.

an 8 pair basket thus would be named "BSKT08" etc Modifys the Factor to 0.0. Have yet to come up with a values for each choice of baskets.

Also it places two Global variables.

GlobalVariableSet(Currency+"_MN",MN) - for Auto Magic Number the Magic numbers are e.g basket of 8 will be 11000, for 14 11110 or binary for number of pairs in a basket plus 16. 10000 + 1110.

GlobalVariableSet(Currency+"_Fact",Factor)

These are initialized in Get_Trade_Pairs() function. The GVs in int(). Be better to place the GV sets in Get_Trade_Pair function(methinks) .

Currency="BSKT02";Factor=0.0;MN=10010;
for 14 basket, Factor will be 1400.0 and MN, 11110 and the offline chart symbol as BSKT14

The traderEA will have to be modified to use these GlobalVariables and prefix Objectname to Symbol()+Some traderEA identifier and use the Factor for SL TP lines.

Currency="BSKT02";Factor=0.0;MN=10010; These are hardcoded. Can be programmed.


Use the last two characters of the symbol name to determine number of pairs in the chart it is placed on to initialize its TradePairs data etc.

Either that or some way to let the EA know the number of pairs in the basket and the factor for line placements

Attached is ver5 with the above changes.

Cheers

Pat


To all - use current version v5.

My attention got drawn to this thread just to other night. So I set it up on demo and trying everything out and catching up with reading. It really looks awesome, especially because I like basket-trading. Big applause for all the coding!
I'll demo it for a while so I can contribute in this thread in the near future.

One question/assumption. You use Basket14v5 instead off the "t101_indy_pricehistory_v3....etc......etc...." from the zipfile in post 1?

I'm testing with the 14pairs on a 4hr timefrime with the NLMBB indy from a few pages back. Open/Close on color change (when I notice, don't spend a lot time at the computer, hence the larger TF)
