Wow, that's really useful! Thanks!

IMPORTANT - When opening the same offline chart more than once!!

If you open the same offline chart more than once the ticks will only be sent to the first chart that you opened.

To get the 2nd (and 3rd,4th etc.) instance of the chart to be correctly updated you will manually need to send the ticks to the chart

This can be done by attaching the following script to the subsequent offline charts.

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)...
Pat,

This Offline Indi not running in my end. Dropped it on GJ chart, the usual green "##T101## Running" is not appearing in the right bottome of the screen, changed 8 pairs to 14 pairs still none happening.

In Pat's version it doesnt show the text,

it is there though, look in your offline charts you will find BSKTxx,yy

xx - no. of pairs
yy - timeframe

You might find it more convenient to update all instances of the same offline chart directly from your offline chart generator. Here is a script that shows one way of doing this:

Limit and Stop orders seem to be the way to go with the bot

Almost all week If I feel the trend is up I have been placing Buy limit and buy stop for example at the same time and 1 or the other will take and has gone to profit all week I had 1 bad trade that was when I place limit and stop both buy and sell 4 potentials just to see what happened well it happened a loss

The basket balance has been a big factor too, in my entries

I have 1 other platform trying to work out of a hedge that started 1st thing this week recovery is at 1.1.1 so far....
DC,

I am demoing basket 2 using buy and limit orders. The pending differential needs to be changed though, but think 20 pips is still far. What is the differential you are using.

Couple of questions. (by the way, got my earlier issues with ##101## history resolved). After attaching the new BSKT8 or 14 to the charts, they don't appear in the offline chart list.

I was looking through the code, which I know little about. Is the trade suffix automatic? or do I need to go through the pair lists in the code and add the m (IBFX).

Also, I noticed on the pairing lists, CADJPY appears, probably in place of CHFJPY on the 4 basket and also the 10 basket, I believe. CHFJPY is there on 8 the and 14.


By the way, small loss of 300 loss Euro Session, that's okay, I picked up around 750 during the US session, using my usual method, this time on the 1 min- 15min.

The Bot, on manual trading is working like a charm, John. Easy to use, reliable, and I love the visible Stop losses, tps, and pending entries.

Thanks a million, Guys.

regarding the suffix, the code is supposed to add it automatically

although Pat has used a more complicated logic to get it and I don't know if it works.

Are you saying the baskets are wrong, ie wrong pairs, or not in the correct order, ie. 2 in place of 3

I feel better knowing & seeing what my indicator is doing so I added the comments to pat's Basket14v5.

Thanks for all you have done. I hope to add another !TLE over the weekend.

Been using OOTB, Sometimes I will press the limit or stop bottom and it Will reset the lines as PA changes in a better spot sometimes..

Now yesterday I set a buy stop come back home from a trip and well there you go over 400 pips

I'd like to put this on the bot wish list

Visual/movable limit lines or stop lines

I like when the limits hit right at the top or bottom depending on PA of the HAS and Stops after it has already bounced but still close to HAS

I have only been on 15min chart with 240 HAS I want to play around with the bot on 1 min chart 15 HAS because this is the trigger chart

dryclean, i am disappointed

once you have pressed the stop or limit button, it puts the line on the chart, you can then move them as you wish

this is clearly stated in the manual as well

Hey guys,

Here is one of the best "Price Action" indies that i know of.

How about creating a TLE out of this?

I am busy, but damn it is hard if you are sucking the hind thingy!!!!
(I am trying to convert it to only display the 8 basket)

I think the question would be, exactly how?

while i use a similar version to gauge the current basket, how would you get one to give signals

and yes I know all about the jumping pairs, and anchor changes, but have yet to find someone who can explain that in a 100% logical solution that could be programmed into a tle.

and from my reading of the indicators T101 thread this has been attempted numerous times, each one a failure (mainly due to the fact that the rules cannot be defined clearly)

Well as you may have guessed by the title I am busy working on version 2.1 of the bot

Most of the changes in version 2.1 are more of a technical nature, and are mainly being incorporated to allow the bot to be better managed

Although a few new features are being added

Overview at the moment

New functionality to perform a Stop & Reverse of a basket
New functionality to "suspend" the bot
Bot management parameters (trailing,sl,tp etc) now defined at a magic number level, not at global
Bot will be switched to use the new T101 indi provided by Pat

Seperate bot for recovery & hedge management

If anyone has any features that they would like to see added to the bot, please post a thread message, detailing the changes you would like to see and why they would improve the bot.

Note: Unfortunately it has come to that time of the year when I actually have to do some "normal" work, after the end of next week, I will be taking up a temporary consultancy position in the UK for a couple of months.

This will mean that the time I have to make further changes to the bot will be limited to evenings & weekends.

Therefore if you do want changes, it is best to request them early so there is a possibility they can be included in the next release.

Well, I would base it on the signals.

"Long Strong' over 2 timeframes will be adequate.

I have entered a basket many times with H1 giving a "Strong" signal and came out on top.

It all comes down to where the signal is on the basket.(Chart)

At the bottom of the chart I am normally hesitant to enter a Sell. But I will enter a Buy. And v... v...

In a strong trending market it is different and i will normally go with the flow.

I try not to entertain a prolonged trade and will normally exit if 2 TF on the indi are opposite.

how would you know if you are at the bottom of the chart or the top

visually you can see it, but from a values point - how would a tle know

also, if you got a for instance "long strong" and you entered, and it made profit but was trail stopped out, what would be the rules to stop the long strong not triggering again

all such questions (and many more) have to be answered before a tle can be even contemplated

although for the first point regarding top/bottom the market read could be used, ie. the market is at the bottom so clearly in downtrend, with a market read of CT Short, the TLE would know that it is in a downtrend, therefore could allow Long Strongs to trigger (ie. countertrend)

,

Disbelj (Don) and ZZNBRM have code for gauging the top and bottom of a chart.

I have it too somewhere.

What you are visually looking at can be inputted in code.

As far as "Trail stopped out" is concerned that too can be hardwired.

Sorry I am not being difficult, but what you want can be coded, I believe even in mt4.

John have you been using 8 pair or 14 lately?

Like GVC I prefer the 8 pair now There seems to be no pairs to trade opposite although looking through this weeks trades either the XXX/JPY or EUR/XXX pairs were minus in my statement at times

Higher percent of wins... Faster to TP less DD if goes wrong direction. I have a lower SL because of 8 pairs. Easier to follow 8 with the basket balance which is important to me now. Just less exposure when potential recovery or hedging
A personal preference right now
