OK...
Now for EA.
It is a work in progress .... it may work, it may not (USE AT OWN RISK).
The trade entry should work but the exit may not yet work ... have not tested.
Any improvements/updates will come when and if I have time OR may not come at all!!!!

1. Put the indi (from prev post) onto chart.
2. Enable expert advisors and put the attached EA onto that chart.
3. mPairsToTrade set to match pairs used on the indi.
4. mLeftPos set to number of bars ... if triangle moved before that bar it stops looking for entry (Triangle '('T') should turn orange
5. mMN is the MagicN for the trades using this EA
6. Select the T
7. Move down ... should turn red ... to set pending SELL basket.
8. Move up... should turn blue... to set pending BUY basket.
9. Moving the T puts a horiz line at trade entry point ... set to RB (red for sell, blue for buy)
10. The trade entry line is then movable to your wishes if you want a different entry point.
11. On entry a green horiz line should show which is meant to be the exit point (again movable) WIP.
12. Don't forget ..... move T left to cancel any pendings.
13. It will only work while MT4 is working .... NOT for any orders when MT4 closed !!!!

Enjoy.

ALL disclaimers apply (use it on DEMO)

EDIT: Error noticed in EA ... will update later

hi futurespec,

the indi appeared on the screen just once, and then lost. I can see only the spread and RB values. What settings do I have to enter for the 14 pairs?.
I tried 80-90, 0.8-0.9 but didn;t work



edit: found it. placed it on yen pair

futurespec thanks for the indie and the EA. I followed your steps up to 6. but the triangle stayed orange. and I think the EA is not working at the moment although I see smiling face in the top right corner. what might be the reason? you got any ideas?

for the Nth time I said from the start the EA is a WIP
It can and does give unexpected results at the moment

If you are not happy with it just do not use it yet.

NO WAY USE IT LIVE !!

The T is an poor attempt at getting a user button. MT4 does not provide one.
It works for me.
If it did not change colour then try moving it again.
If the TradeEntry line has moved and changed colour (Red sell, blue buy, white no order set) then the pending is set.

yeah bro, I know what you said and I'm not using it live, don't worry. I just wanted to try it as you replied to our request which I appreciate, but couldn't make it work. so asking the coder a question or two is a normal thing in my opinion. anyway, it seems that I will wait for your updates if any. by the way, you did a good job with the indicator. at least it saves me from looking which candle the RB is. thanks for that...

I only posted as I appreciated Jaque's kind contribution.
It is best not to use the EA for now.

If you want a simple script to buy sell basket trades then you can try the attached... again with disclaimers.
It will trade the pairs in the order that they appear in the list.
mHowManyPairs ... set to 1 trades 1st pair, 6 trades first 6 pairs etc < 14

The idea of the EA was to automatically set the price to the latest RB H/L and make life easier..... and then set an exit price. It does that but still has errors!

Couple minor mods.
Can now set own Ma colours for those that have black background.

Just discard previous files and use these.

EA v1.0 needs Bag Test v1.0 to work correctly.

Still issue with T not always changing from orange every time ... if TradeEntry is set (not white) but T remains orange then need to move T again before it will be ready to enter trades.

Bit messy ... maybe... like I said MT4 has no button function so it is a workaround.
It works OK for me but needs treating with care

If you note any issues then let me know ... no promises.

Pairs option missing. is it set for 14 or any chart applied to?

  • Dec 7, 2012 10:33am Dec 7, 2012 10:33am
You are awake then ;-)

It is not needed.
It defaults to the number of pairs used for the chart.
(You must use the latest 2 files)

it works much better..

sensitivity is better, reaction to triangle moves is ok, opens the trades on the touch of the line,

.....but it has an issue with closing the trades on the green line.

It does not close basket on green line. Tried many times with no result.

asoo2
with the code that I had in there I am not surprised :-(
Try this.
It is still a WIP (and as I said was only originally inteneded for my own use) and will check and amend if/when I get time.

M.

EDIT: Please note:
If you are using a different script to close the trades by MagicN then the number assigned to the trades is appended with the number of pairs.
i.e. MN = 1 by default so the MagicN assigned is 16, 114, 199 for 6, 14 and GBP pairs respectively

GM all:
Today is a dificult day. I attached Daily, 4h and 1h chart and you can see why.
At Daily Chart trend is UP. At 4h chart trend is UP too. However at 1h trend is Down.
What do you do today?.
If you take only 1h chart you must follow the rules and you must look for short at high 1h RB but if you consider high time frame trend is UP.
Im looking for short today. I will go against high time frame and i will explain why more late.
I invite you to show your own analisys.
Regards.

Hi Jaque,

I would like to thank you for starting this thread , you have done a excellent job of describing your method I have read every post and looked at all the screenshots and it all makes perfect sense.

Buying at the low of the range is so obvious , but I never worked out how to do it before .....

Thank you..
GM Ianp:
Thanks for cumpliments. You are wellcome to thread and all questions are wellcome.

Best Regards.
