Hi kos,
I know this is probably a noob question, but are some of the pairs chosen at random? I know this is not a foolproof strategy,seeing as we could encounter some bad days. But do we have random pairs to create some sort of imbalance?maybe as a means to reduce loss?

I have had this set up on a Thinkforex demo since the 23rd of October and all is working well.
Still short from the 2nd November.

Does anyone use Pepperstone as their broker?

I ask because when trying to set up an offline chart with Pepperstone, following these instructions

"come to the main menu of mt4
click on file-> open offline
you will find #kos#14 15 as one of the pairs
double click on it and it will open as one of
your charts"

#kos#14 15 or the other T/F's do not show up, the text is jumbled with characters, I only...
No problem with pepperstone platform : infact i am trying with it . ...maybe yr process of attaching it went wrong.

which broker demo do you use?
It doesn't matter what I use
Use the one you will be using live

It is always better to demo with a live account
look for a penny acct like 4xforu I would not use them as my main acct as they are crooks. But look for a penny account where every penny is treated like a dollar. So $10 is $1000

Thanks Kos for the privileged. Let me start by sharing with the evolution of this system as some earlier posters are trying to shift this thread to again a never ending indicator development. Here it is:

The Evolution of Basket Trading System by Trader 101

I prepared this history of BTS in order for those new in basket trading to have an idea how this trading system come into and also to avoid those that seems to be bringing this system backward for lack of history knowledge.

I am also optimistic that after reading this, traders with indicator...
thanks DKNY!

your post brought back the memory of the developmental stages of BTS. and I am particularly interested in the CORE 5 basket because of the reasons; low cost, easy to manage, and same profit as the 12-2 that we do here.

I will explore the CORE 5 side by side the 12-2 and if found like you stated I will be glad to adjust my tools to it.

Thank you for the info

Looking for a reentry on the 5min chart now is not the time the pa is above the Has and the vq has turned green

But looking at the 15min TF look for a bounce or resistance off the HAS

Then wait for the vq has and pa turn back down on the 5mn TF before entry

Hi Kos,

I don't have much trust in Support and Resistance when trading baskets. The "price" of the basket is only a mathematical addition of prices from the 14 pairs.

I do not believe that the mass of people look at those levels/trendlines, so the basket price will probably not respect those levels.

But anyway, if it works...
the offline chart is not made from the air, it is made from those charts that those mass of people watch their levels/trendlines, therefore, I think am save to say if price respects those levels on the normal charts then it will even respect it more or let me say those levels would be stronger on the offline chart that combines 14 of those watched normal charts rolled up as one.

One may not be able to quote price of normal charts, but make the 1hr, 4hr, D1 offline charts and start observing the turnings and you will change your mind about that your believe.

what you may also find is that they work better, because they are a reflection of multiple points of S&R found through out the market place and not just limited to a single pairing.

... or use 0.05 lot on 10.000 USD account so I risk 2.8%.... and so on... if I'm not wrong
You are not wrong,
that is very conservative enough, that you can place your basket trade and not loose sleep.

I don't think the pairs are chosen randomly,
as for creating of imbalance, that is why some BTS traders dont like the idea of reversing the 2 pairs that is always going the other way, they leave them, the reason is that sometimes when the basket is gets sour, this two pairs somehow mitigates the loss.

if its bad, its bad cut it
