perhaps pips differences depend of the pairs who are negative i suppose

I am curious, why would a template with the offline chart result in inactive timeframes, e.g. I can see offline chart moving, it's up to date, but all of the timeframes are inactive, I am sitting with M1 timeframe. I took template from the second page post and followed the setup instructions

The template is for TF 15 you need an offline 60 created 1st then 15
when I create offline charts start with the biggest TF you want to see 1st and work you way down

You mentioned 1minTF so you need a 5Min TF and change the VQzz2 to TF 5 on the 1 min chart

Also a restart of MT4 never hurts

thanks, but not sure what you mean. I open MT4, no windows, then open USDJPY 1h, drag the Basketv6, go to Open Offline, all I see is kos offline M1. No other time frames

Jasius,

On your USDJPY 1h, you need to change the TF value to 60. It is set to 1 minute by default, that's why you only see the M1.

MEMO to ALL NEWBIES


This system is not all that hard to set up once you understand it
You have to go and read and re-read this thread and the the other threads Kos has links to

Read the 1st 10 pages and the last 10 pages - that will give you a good idea how to set up charts and TP, SL, the pairs and such

GVC also had a 8 pair thread

search for it off his name

There are way too many newbie questions here. Many of them have been answered a number of times.

This system is not for the rookie in MT4

Hi Everyone,

I have been trading the 14 pairs for a while now together with the 5core on the 1h timeframe and I must say what I like about it is the level of patience it enforces onto a trader like me that can be impatient at times.Thank you to everyone for the effort that has been put into this thread.

Just a question: I have set up my 15min,60min and Daily charts but for some reason the 240min/4h chart does not want to update the live price as the other charts do.I do the same as with all the other timeframes.Load the basketv6 indicator on GBPJPY and change the timeframe in the input to 240.I make sure DLL is ticked and when I open the offline #kos#14 4h chart it is not moving at all.The reason why I want the 4h to work so badly is because I need to see the bigger trend on 4h to make an accurate entry on the 1h timeframe.

Please can someone lend a hand.

Thanks.

Hi Jaqcues

For the life of me i can not think why the H4 does not work.

You have the Basketv6 loaded 4 times onto the GBPJPY chart, set to 15,60,240 and 1440.

Try restarting MT4 once the Basketv6 has been loaded 4 times and see if it works..

DONT TRY THIS, IF YOU ARE NEW TO BTS

was auto scalping the core_5 basket in 1min TF today
though the core_5 is gentler than the 14 but it is not as
loaded with pips as the 14pairs

4 baskets: 2 winners, 1 BE and 1 looser
all for just +88 pips from 10am till 9pm
14 pairs would have given x2

Hello Jacques

Reduce the MaxBars input in the red box to 500
and restart you mt4. that should do the trick

I have the same problem as Sillubrious. I have M15,M30,H1 and H4 charts all running as they should but I cannot get a daily to update. I have loaded all these charts onto practice accounts with three different brokers, all with the same result. And I just tried openning and closing the program four times but still no life in the D1.

Hi Bob!

try the same thing above, sometimes if the data you have is not enough
the chart may have problems. So reduce the maxbars input to 500

and also ensure the allow dll is checked

and lets see if it is ok

Just tried that Kos but no luck. I modified an existing one but that didn't bring it to life so I set up a new D1 chart but still nothing.

Hi every one,
I was looking offline candlesticks. I noticed the price, in reality, doesn't go the level that the candles' shadows show. Have you noticed the matter?

For example, when I put TP in 81.20 and the shadow shows that the price has gone to 81.60 but my TP doesn't hit. In fact, the price has gone to 81,05.

55 pips difference.
It's because the highs/lows of the pairs occur at different times, and the offline chart just adds them up together. It's a flaw in the math that doesn't account for the true movement of the basket. Can you trade it? sure, but you should know the animal.

Casey,

Do you mind opening a new thread regarding the MA crossover?

As I have read your posts and they sound interesting.

Thanks,

Hi Samad!

it has been noticed way back in the indicator development thread,
but its like no coder has been able or was willing to provide a fix
and for now this is the best offline creating tool that we use for BTS offline chart.

Initially we were using t101_indy_pricehistory_v3-dnk,
Don Isbell noticed that it was giving zero divide error, Don fixed it
and gave us t101_indy_pricehistory_v3-dnk_donfix14
Pat Patel came and saw that even with the fix it still was flawed
then he came with Basket_v6 we used it and discovered that the signals
generated with the offline chart were more accurate and the offline chart is smoother than the others
and we have been using it ever since then.

So if you and/or caseyjw noticed the anomaly and you have the capacity
to rectify it please do so we would compare and if its better we will use it.
that would be a powerful contribution to the thread and BTS development.

Hi caseyjw!

that flaw has been potted from the indicator development thread
we live with because there was no fix for it

However, if you can provide us with a fix to that flaw in the math
we would appreciate it and it would be a brilliant contribution
to the development and simplification of BTS
