Dear All

a new version is on the first post

there is still a separate EA to come that is designed specifically for managing when using Hedge and/or Recovery protocols

Regards
John


Version 2.1 - 12 Oct. 2011

In this version:-

Improved pending "limit" order processing
Fix for data not being displayed when not using Basket 14
Stop & Reverse button
Last Basket Profit now displayed
Current Minimum profit (ie. trailing value) now displayed
Ability to "suspend" the robot
Trailing/TP/SL values etc. now controlled by magic number (in global variables) allowing mulitple robots to run with different trailing/tp/sl options
Takeprofit value can now be negative (for when trades have gone against you and wanting to get out at min loss)

THIS VERSION IS THE ONE ATTACHED DIRECTLY TO THE MESSAGE, NOT IN THE ZIP

John,
Welcome back!!
Thanks for the new version, John.
TD,
Have had your HAma Ea on a H1 chart and it is doing extremely well. Closed a Buy Basket for over $200 (Avg 15pip move) and was still moving up! Unfortunately, that was on demo, only running intermittently.
I noticed earlier that gains are sometimes given back and decided to close the last basket manually.
On the indicator thread Kos, has put out some pointers about TP and BE on 1M.
Looks like its now a matter of getting the settings right.

You are probably raking in those pips, but just thought I'd compare notes.

Gonna run both EAs 24/5 and see how it goes.

Hi John,

Thank you very much for the new EA.

Your EA's have definitely changed the BTS system and brought on a whole new level.

Is the EA suppose to automatically close the basket if opposite arrow shows up?

John,

Thanks a lot for the update! Things are flying along here now - you may want to check further devolopments on the other T101 thread regarding a new indicator which seems amazing. Think it's crying for a TLE.... start with post 4566 here: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...12522&page=305

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 ??

Hi there, Just found this thread today and am still reading through some of the posts.

I have free demo space. I can set up 4 or 5 demos of your EA's and upload them to myfxbook so everyone can track its performance.

I'd suggest assembling a testing team of volunteers and everyone uploading their demos (with the specified settings in the "general" tab). That way all the available "collective" CPU power is used efficiently and we avoid having several computers testing the similar settings. I've seen this kind of organization in other threads with amazing results and super fast-conclusions drawn thanks to this kind of extensive testing. Probably this suggestion will fade into the deep, cruel indiference of this thread :*(. I hope it doesn't

Anyway, I'm still trying to fully understand the concept behind this whole basket trading thing but it seems pretty straightforward with that .txt explanation.

I just have an observation that can be good for any timeframe:
From other threads (Specially the latest steve hopwood's bots) we have been using the ALL AVERAGES indi to filter out the trend direction. It's pretty similar to the coral and I've ran a visual backtest and found a setting of 30 the best to trade only trend continuations.

This indy integrated into the HAMA or PrCh EA's as trend filters (Only buy the basket when green/ sell for orange) could be just what we need to make this EA's profitable. Nice, clean and simple. If we want to be a little more picky, we can even add a "Minimum slope" required for trading, just so we stay out of the ranging periods.

I really hope my suggestions are taken into account, even though I'm just a newbie here. I'd really like to hear some opinions regarding this!

Best regards from Peru

Just to confirm with users or RK HAMA EA,

For the settings, should I just leave the time frame to be 0 or put it to 60 if I want the ea to run on H1?

I am lost here. I was attaching the new version to an offline chart and the alert message said "the EA can only be run on offline chart" and I am already attaching to an offline chart. I may have missed something. Needs help. Thanks John for the new version.

Edit: This parameter is still present in the new version:

/*
// If this is not the T101 offline chart then stop
if (StringSubstr(Symbol(),0,4) != OfflineChart)
{
Alert("This EA can ONLY be run on the T101 offline chart, EA is stopping!");
gb_Stopped = true;
return(0);
}

The offline chart should be created with the new Basketv6 indicator. It is in post #328.
If the old T101 indicator has been used, follow the directions in post #136 to modify the EA.
Good luck,

If the setting is left at 0, the Hama will use the chart TF.
So the EA needs to be on a H1 chart to get a H1 HAma.
However if the setting is different to the chart TF, a higher TF offline chart will also have to be created and must be running.
Hope that helps,

Thanks EP.

I was wondering, if the setting is different to the chart TF, then how does the EA respond?

It 'see' the higher TF offline chart and not the one it is attached on?

Thanks EP.

Yes. but I have not tested that. It is easier to have just one chart and place the EA with HAma setting= 0.
The manual method used by Kos, has the MTF Hama reading the higher TF and drawing Hama on the Signal TF chart and needs two offline charts open.
MT4 will freeze if the second chart is not there.
Anyway, I think we will soon be using the new VQ indicator, which seems to give better entries.

I'm kinda lost....

I'm trying to make a !TLE for automatic market read and trading, but can't figure out where to start.
I've looked at the existing !TLE's but can't get my head around it.

This is what I have in mind:
Let the !TLE get the market read. If the NLMBB on the offline 4hr chart is green/up, the market read is up. Vice versa for down.
Let the !TLE open a basket if the NLMBB changes color at the close of an 1hr candle, and only in the direction of the market read (the 4hr NLMBB direction) If the NLMBB changes color again the basket has to be closed.

Do the !TLE's get the market read in the (switch) market read section? Or is that part there to let the TLE know where it should work with after the market read already is defined?
So basically, where in the code do the !TLE's get the market read from?
When I know that i may be able to figure things out (I hope...)

Edit: Another question:
When I use the iCustom function to look at the NLMBB, which part of the code is for the timeframe?
Quote
iCustom(NULL,0,Indy2,6,36,0,0.0,"",1,1,0,"",0,"",0,0,1,Shift);
EDIT: Thanks for the hard work John. Really love the T101 Basket trader!!

Hi Jules

the market read is passed from the EA

if the EA has UseMarketRead = false, then it will pass a market read of N/A (which is what you want as you want the TLE to determine the market read)

In the TLE itself, in the subroutines for Check_For_Open and Check_For_Close, there is the statement that determines what to do with the market read

if (MarketRead == MR_NOTAPPLICABLE) MarketRead = DFT_MARKETREAD;

so the above, means that it will put it into a auto market read situation (as DFT_MARKETREAD is range)

therefore all your coding would go into the part where it checks market read = range

On your iCustom question, the timeframe goes in the second parameter after the currency

Regards, John

This is detailed in the original T101 thread

and is mainly applicable when trading a 14 pair basket

in a 14 pair basket USDCHF is traded oppositely (some people also trade EURGBP oppositely)

which means on a buy basket it will open buys for all pairs except the ones to be traded oppositely, these will open sells - vice versa for Sell basket

John,

I run the pending orders on the new EA you just posted. As soon as the pending orders is triggered it subsequently close it. Tried to adjust the dftpendingdistance but to no avail. Appreciate your help.
