what time frame are you calculating your correlations on? you will find wildly different values depending on your sampling interval.
Hourly and 15 mins... as daily/weekly are not much use if you get into positions when the corln arent i place on lower tf

Hello my friends,
I have been basketing since the old T101 days and I have accumulated some EA's and I found one (that a nice coder made for me) in my files that I believe could be useful to some of us....

This EA closes 50% of ALL your basket positions when a desired amount is reached.

ATTENTION
I tried it today and it does not close half of all the positions,it left some positions full .....so we might need a friendly coder to correct what is wrong with it.....

Here it is.....

OK...everyone MAX PAIN took care of it!!! It works perfectly! Big thanks to MAX PAIN, YOU ROCK MY FRIEND!

Here is the good one!

I could not agree with you more. The concept of basketing sounds very good. Based on what I have read so far, I am signed in. I am reading the entire thread and then do some demoing. Unfortunately it is december, low volatility! But let us see how it goes.

Exit was triggered while I was not in front of the screen ! I’d have banked more profit if I could be watching the chart,but I was at work.

not bad :-)

Hi Kos,

Thanks for sharing the system.

Yes, the bot has taken a long on H1. I exited with a measly profit. Are you still in?

TAKE MY 2 CENTS NEW ONES

aren't you guys very lucky? I mean the junior members
you are here when the bones have been picked out (all stress and noise gone)
you just come to eat the succulent and ready made part of the meal

though, I know some of you will still go searching for what is not missing, just to satisfy your curiosity
and after about 3yrs of rigmaroling and loosing (that is for the very clever ones) you will then come back to settle finally for it.
but before then something inside you will keep telling you that one indicator is not enough to make money or that
there is a magical indicator somewhere that will give you 100% winners, 3 years later it will be clear to you that
you are that indicator you are looking for.

but if I were you I will pick this style of trading and run with it, work with it till it is my very own, the advantages are very obvious

have a nice time all

Special thanks to Kos for reviving the BTS fire by sharing this simpler and promising version. I fell in love with BTS in the days of brijon 100% win rate thread through to T101. But kos seems to have stood on the shoulders of the giants like Newton and seen farther.

I need someone to help me explain why the EA opens thread correctly but as soon as the thread moves in the right direction cuts the trade for little profit as the market zooms on. I would prefer to have my trade going on and applying only breakeven as Kos does.

I am using the inbuilt trade management of the EA and my set file is co[pied below

Any advice should be appreciated.

Amazingly enough when I was reading this whole thread from the beginning - it was just 74pages...at that time (and growing exponentially in lightning SPEED), it SEEMED as though it wouldn't stop growing! By the time I was done reading "all" of it - it had become 148pages.

Now that I have caught up with y'all - everyone seems to be busy trading I guess? Where're y'all at!?

Sigh...Anyways am also "busy" basket-ting: +260pips and counting...(and to think that am STILL setting up to my taste)

Again KOS - you ARE the man!
