the general correlation should be this one:

indices up, commodities up, basket up
indices down, commodities down, basket down

for t-bonds is the inverse

bonds down, basket up
bonds up, basket down

Thanks, Just wanted to say this is the 1000th post! Did not take the trade as the fundamentals don't call for it The elections will skew the basket. So I'm sideliend now except for a e/u trade I got floating around all morning. It's been all over the map. Like the USS minnow on the Pacific

Eagle,
It depends on how you look at it. The elections can be taken as a positive move towards development and what not..this would lead to confidence in the economy and ..risk on...its really weird how some of these events are interpreted. Either way, the charts always tell the full story..

My visual Stop Loss is higher than my entry, so its a free ride.

No at this moment but using comment or ticket number or another detail, it can do it...

I'm testing it.... for the moment it seems to work good...

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

Hi Kos...I asked Julius if I could post the alternate C5's and C4 and he said no problem so here are a few.

C5a----AU,NJ,GU,EJ,GJ
C5b----NJ,EU,GU,AJ,GJ
C4-----AU,NU,EJ,GJ

PS Thanks for keeping the BTS alive! Julius has mentioned to me of forming a free Skype group for BTS traders. We shall see or perhaps I will start one.
K.I.S.S.

Nope all functions is in the EA using sliding scripts.

You just double click on the word e.g. Buy / Sell, Profit / StopLoss etc and drag it around the chart.

1- yes
2 use different magic numbers and in comments I use the magicnumber too. I use odd magicnumbers for buys even numbers for sells

then open a chart and put MPTM on it with the same magic number and when you look at that chart it will tell you what that magic number is doing.
I have had 4 going at once with no problems
