Hello traders

does any one expecting short ?- based on other tech n fundamental analysis ?
15mins has already sigalled short, but according to Kos, the short is only valid when H1 follows. But if the 15mins reverses its signal to match that of H1 it will b time to reenter. I hope am right?

Thank you all for starting and contributing to this thread. It has been an interesting read for me, but I have a stupid question (which I may have missed the answer to already in the posts, but I apologize if this has been answered already) ...

If I have a minimum number of lots traded on each pair (say 0.01 lots), how does the EA "lock in profits" if it can't close partial lots? Does it move the SL on the already opened positions? If so, how does it decide which pair to move the SL for and how much?

The EA looks at all your trades at as a basket and monitors the profit of that basket. Once the profit of the basket drops to your dollar stop loss, it closes the basket (all your open trades)

Is it possible to construct an EA for automatic system?. If we decide to operate in graph of 15 minutes it is impossible to be able to be looking every 15 minutes at the graph to know if it is necessary to buy or to sell.

Is not it a possible automatic trade EA?

Thank you.

This is from Kos some time ago

TIMEFRAME CHOICE
There will be a lower timeframe which I will be referring to as the STF (signal time frame)
There will be a higher timeframe which I will be referring to as the TTF (trend time frame)

I strongly believe that the best filter ever is to trade with the higher timeframe in view, and that is what we will be doing from now on.

I will show you some trend in 1HR TF that you will wonder where were you when all these were happening?

STF------------------------------------ --------TTF
4hr------------------------------------ -------- D1
1hr------------------------------------ -------- 4hr
30min ------------------------------------ ----- 4hr
15min ------------------------------------ ----- 1hr
5min ------------------------------------ ----- 15min
1min ------------------------------------ ------ 5min

this is as a result of my search on multi-timeframe trading and I chose 5min - 15min for scalping the basket on one account and 1hr - 4hr TF
for catching big trend

Pick your own as it suits your personality after all its about you and your money.

Are we on the same book?

Not sure if you answered my question .. are you saying that if I have lockprofit set to true and say at 350, it will close all opened positions at $350? so in essense it really doesnot lock partial profits and keeps the trade open, it will just close the whole basket?

You really should have read the whole thread..the EA does nt monitor your pips, it monitors your running profit or loss, when it gets to the loss amount,it closes the whole basket. If you are using the lockprofit feature, when your profit gets to a certain amount, it sets the SL to BE..i.e 0 usd..as your profit increases, it increases the secured amount.
It is possible to make large sums trading, small losses, large wins

Are you talking about the MPBM found here? If your basket is at $500, and your stop loss is at $350, and your basket drops down from $500 to $350, it will close the entire basket.

Thanks. Now I understand. What I was trying to understand is "how" it decides what pair to move and how much of each to move the SL .. say it wants to lock in $200 profit, if this was trading one pair, it would be easy to move say AUD/USD 200 pips up and that locks in the 200 dollar profit. But you have 14 pairs with different pip value, With 14 pairs being in the basket, does it do an average pip value and move all pairs the same amount of pips?

I am not sure if I am expressing myself coirrectly here. Sorry!!!

Instead of thinking of it as 14 pairs, think of it as 1 synthetic pair (made up of 14 components). Then re-read omadivi's last post to you - it explains how the EA works.

Thank you for trying but actually no it does not still. It is not one pair, and can never be, because you are actually buying and selling 14 distinct pairs, so in order to move the SL to lock in profit, you must have to move the SL on all 14 pairs (or a subset of the 14) a certain amount of pips.
To move to BE, it is easy because you would just move the SL on all pairs to the same value as the respective entry price. However not when you lock in some other positive profit value.

I understand you are tracking dollar value in order to determine when to move SL,and that is just fine and dandy, but in order to "lock in" any profit, SL has to move and that is a pip value not a dollar value. So what I need to know is how and how much to move the SL and on what pairs, not when to move it.

I am not trying to argue , but i am trying to understand the intricate details of the EA and how it actually functions. :nerd:

Thanks for your help.
