So, if I'm not wrong, doing CORE5, my SL should be 200p. 5 lots of 0,01--> 0,05---> 50USD of risk. Am I wrong?
yes you are wrong, its $20 risk

the SL should be$20 on 0.01 lot
I also keep the same BE+150 or $15.00
the nice thing with cored5 is less exposure but profit is about 1/2
on the current run it is near 2700 the core5 is near 1800 still not bad

Listen to me 1800 not bad LOL

You take 40 pips per pair as your Stop loss
14*40=560 pips
5*40=200 pips

0.01 lots =10 cents per pip
0.10 lots = $1.00 per pip

Set trades to BE once hits 150 pips or $15 for 0.01 lot or $150 for 0.10 lot
I set mine to 200 pips with a 67 % Trail stop
Hope that clears it up

hi kos,
great work...I've been catching up on the thread...nice stuff...didnt expect the buy basket to last this long, missed the entry so been waiting for "shorts"....the offline chart is invaluable, although i am beginning to think its more tilted towards the yen pairs.. either way, it gives a good read....thanks for sharing..

have a great weekend..
It is possible to make large sums trading, small losses, large wins

hello traders

took a 400pip-hit from yesterday's buy basket...already on my way to a full recovery...i am beginning to think basket trading isnt for me..
i prefer to trade a max of 5 pairs...the offline chart is a very wicked tool....thanks kos..

here's my approach, get trend on H4 chart(offline), confirm on H1 and take entries on M15...looking at the H4 chart saves a lot of grief..trading the signals off the m15 chart blindly isnt so smart...once again great job with the offline chart kos...
thanks for the interest,
I was not happy when you said BTS is not for you
but now am happy you are beginning to appreciate the tools

have a delightful weekend too

I want S.Ex...and now i found it

Hi Kos,
Thank you for starting this thread. The idea is beautiful. I have been through some commercial threads (can't remember which ones) where trading based on general market sentiment is discussed. I loved it but could not figure out the best entry points and how to trade the strategy. But now i found exactly what i want. I call it "something extra" i.e jaara (native language). Now i can just push that trade button knowing that the odds are in my favour. I hope the brokers don't figure out how...

Hello everyone

Nice Thread Kosomolate

I have the 14 pairs setup nicely, but i'm at wits end on how to setup the 5 core. the offline chart names comes out all jumbled up into charactersand its not opening. My broker has a suffix after the pair name.

Would appreciate if anyone can help or direct me to the post that it was discussed. Pretty sure i saw it explained when i was reading the thread. Well, I'm back to reading it from beginning, might pick up more insights.

Thankyou
Let your plan trade for you, not your emotion!!!

Casey,I've found your statistical analysis very very interesting.
Good Job.
I'm an old basket Trader ,I come from previous Kos Basket thread,and I have a q for you..

For your backtest did you trade 24hrs7days or you filtered out low volatility intraday periods(i.e. late NY session to Tokyo opening)

thx
The short answer is yes, from Friday at ~5pm est to Sunday ~3pm est No bar prices are counted. Do I filter out intraday? no, I think that would not add any value...

Here's the Core5 indicator for generating the offline charts. Go to post #1613 on page 108 for the Core5 Buy/Sell Basket scripts provided by Dryclean. I recommend the MPBM basket manager EA below, which allows you to input either per basket or total pips for TP, SL and TS. If you look at the code in MetaEditor, you'll find excellent instructions.

if this is your first contact with basket trading
I will advice that you thread softly on lotsizing, not all weeks
are like the past 2 weeks. If you heed my advice
you will bless the day you come to this thread

Have a delightful weekend too
