Basket trades overnight.

1. HAMA- 2-14-1 on a 1m chart 10-6 at 00:00 till 10:44 using Trailing stop. 451 pips. An exit without an indicator arrow is a CMP exit.

2. PrCh - Length 21, 3,0,0,3,5,0-- on a 1m chart 10-06 00:00 till 10:06
NO MM at all. 332 pips.

Not bad for 10 hours. Approximatly 25 trades for PrCh and 19 trades for HAMA. I'm going to reset them to match the MM and we'll see how well they do. The "Current Minimum Profit"(CMP) seems to do the best. On the chart for the HAMA you can see the exits where it hit the CMP and got us out early before the big reversal. Those indicator settings seem to work the best!

Need to consider a way to avoid chop, another Indicator or what. Its easy to add more indicators.

I'm not forgetting the !TLE I just need some assurance that the process works.

See the charts: These charts are recent enough that you should be able to re-creat on you PC.

Traderduke,
You've done real good! I had just one EA exit. It might have been a CMP exit, because the EA reentered immediately. Closed manually on the big move up and it reentered again.
As you say, we need to get the balance correct between CMP and Indicator exits.
Now comparing settings with your code. Waiting to exit 2 baskets, and will then test your EAs.

TD,
Just put your EA on 1M chart and got this. Had to exit manually as it began to give back the gains. Also, got hammered by chop in 3 earlier entries. Need to look at how to avoid the whipsaws.

The Ea should only enter a trade on a reversal, meaning 2 back-1, 1back +1, current +1, you should always enter on the opening of the current +1 ,so be specific. Sometimes the CMP seems to get in the way of the reversal due to length of time to process,closing 8 pairs on ademo acct, it moves on to next candle which can negate the 2 back -1 to a 2 back +1, hope i"m not confusing you. I'm adding a "or ||" condition because I missed two big movers because of that problem. I hope it fixes it. The chop in and out is murder. I now have an other indicator that seems to control it better. I'll test and get back to you.

Understand your point about going back 3 bars for HAS trend value change.
The method I'm trying, only uses MA crossover. Had to modify the initial TMA/NLMBB triggers when it became obvious the TMA repaints.
Using envelopes, which was next best, with plain MA instead of NLMBB due to confusion with its buffers.
The envelope avoids false entries and acts as whip filter, but captures price extremes . Using Open for upper envelope and Low for lower, with trigger when HIgh/Low poke outiside the envelope and the MA reverses.
Here are the settings.
See attached chart.
extern int EnvPd = 8;
extern int MaMthdE = 2;
extern int DevtnU = 10;
extern int DevtnL = 5;

extern int MaPd = 3;
extern int MaMthd = 1;

void ReadIndicators()
{
gd_Upper1 = iEnvelopes(NULL,0,EnvPd,MaMthdE,0,PRICE_OPEN,DevtnU,1,Shift);
gd_Upprv = iEnvelopes(NULL,0,EnvPd,MaMthdE,0,PRICE_OPEN,DevtnU,1,Shift+1);
gd_Lower1 = iEnvelopes(NULL,0,EnvPd,MaMthdE,0,PRICE_LOW,DevtnL,2,Shift);
gd_Loprv = iEnvelopes(NULL,0,EnvPd,MaMthdE,0,PRICE_LOW,DevtnL,2,Shift+1);

MA_Cur = iMA(NULL,0,MaPd,0,MaMthd,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
MA_Prev = iMA(NULL,0,MaPd,0,MaMthd,PRICE_CLOSE,1);
MA_Prev2 = iMA(NULL,0,MaPd,0,MaMthd,PRICE_CLOSE,2);

Now, have to wait for Mon open.

Here is the indicator that can help keeps us out of SOME chop. I have included the early exit its // out just remove the // and place the // on the trend line. I have also included a manual EXIT option.

The entrance arrow is our first Buy or Sell trigger the additional arrows, same direction ,can be ignored or used as KOS had mentioned as a signal for more buy ins. Personally I want to get it profitable before I worry about that extra buy in. Looks like a lot of testing. This indicator has many settings available and of course charts, so lets get started. I use this KC for my Renko charts.

Any body else got any ideas??? I was thinking of joining this KC with HAMA but it seems a bit redundent.

Trader Duke: Good morning!
I had been silently following your great work.
My demo results are shown to be very consistent and amazing so far. Thank you for sharing it with all of us on this forum

For the past one week I had been testing (Go trader platform) your Hama EA. CMP exit seems is handling choppy market conditions well.
Since HAMA EA is working well for me, will continue to test it to confirm the results.
In a week I had drawn about 2.5 percent (total basket trades 180). Still I can't believe myself that it is real.

Thank YOU again , and all of the great contributors of this great trading system.

Regards,
RSwamy

PS: I will test your latest version EA later, and report the results later. Thanks!

Good to hear from you. We need all the testers we can get, you can't backtest. Just try to be more explicite about your set up. We'll need it to do the set files.

Info that would be helpful
Indicator & settings , Chart TF, Basket size.

Right I think everyone is hooked one the GVC 8. I have never seen 8pairs with such a great correlation.

1. What is your win/loss numbers in pips
2. are you using the HAMA base settings 2-4-1 or 2-14-1 or not
3. What chart are you using1m, 5m ??

I'm trying the lower B/E activate -20 B/E 10 and trailing stop 25 with 85% We'llll seee.

Trader duke: Good afternoon!

Thank you for the prompt message.

Whatever the test you want me to do, Iam in. Thanks!

Yes, initially learned things from GVC thread, still using the basket indicator (8) and concept from his thread .
What have done is taken things from GVC thread and indicator from Kos and EA from you.
For the basket generation I still use offline indicator, though Iam attaching your default HAMA EA on 15 min Eurusd chart.
So EA is taking the trades on 15min EURUSD trend.

Here is the results: Trades from 3rd October to 6 th October.
0.1 lot
Switched off EA on Friday morning an hour before the news.

gross profit: $1242.02
gross loss : $361.81
total net profit: $880.21
profit factor: 3.43
absolute draw down: $64.34
maximal draw down: $124.76
relative draw down: 2.15%
total trades: 180
largest profit trade: $64.12
largest loss trade: -$62.55
consecutive wins: 5
consecutive loss: 2



Please let me know,whether I have answered all.Thanks!

Yes, exactly, that is why I dropped the HAS. Looks good. Are you still using 1M?
I find the 15M has less chops and better runs. Will compare with the envelope.

Hi Traderduke & Eaglepip

Thanks for the great work here.

I am still using the EA and made +500 pips this week with 3 Wins and 1 Loss.
The loss came from the M1 TF. (Closing manually due to limited time)

This is using your HAMA V2 posted a few posts ago.

I switched to the H1 TF which seems to be much better with the Winning runs outweighing the Losses.

I must say that this is not running 24/5 as I have limited time.

I cant wait to get back home so that I can run the EA 24/5

Regards

Traderduke, guys,
Maybe I miss something here, I really wana help with testing,
but can someone explain step by step how to install those two EA's and what you need as indicators and offline charts to make them work? I'm reffering to RK-T101 Basket Trader v2-HAMA and RK-T101 Basket Trader v2-PrCh.
I've put them on M5 offline chart, created with Basketv6 indi, but they are not doing anything....any help?
I got a platform dedicated for testing on those two EA's, but I need to make them work 1st...
Thanks

Hi Dragosd1,
Yes, it can get very confusing, so I made a short set of instructions.
Hope it helps.

Thanks, EP,
Seems I installed them correctly, wonder why they are not working...
Btw, in the inputs window, there's a !TLE name, it's ok if I left it blank, I assume, as the indi's are already inside the code....
Can you also post a set file, maybe?

Leaving the TLEUsed Blank cancels the EA see line 371. Type the Indicator that your using on the TLEUsed line. Lots of luck.

Hey TraderDuke

I am using your mod to the EA with RK-ml-HAMA T3 new-mtf & alert on the H1 Time Frame with 2,6,1 settings.

So far so good. 1 Win and 1 Loss.
The loss was -156 pips and the win was +600 pips.

The EA is in a Long trade at the moment -121 pips.

Not too shabby.As long as the profit outweighs the losses.

I will be testing the H4 next.
