Hi KOS,
For the H1 charts, at how many pips do you set to Break Even? In your first post, you mentioned 150 pips, but I believe that is for the 15 min chart. Do you do the same for H1 charts as well or the number of pips are higher?

Thanks and regards,
Gyfu
I remember Kos said +200 pips BE on H1

Hi Akira,

One way of effecting these changes is - I edit the EA and compile and save it.

Thank you Suzette for the detailed answer. The trailing parameters/values are now shown on the ea screen without automatically resetting to zero.

I still have one more problem that I face with the visual TP/SL lines, that they are too close each other so that the basket orders are closed almost immediately after placed, resulting in a loss (of spread, mostly).

Do you not face this with your setting?

xs_0004=--Take Profit
UseTakeProfit=1
VisualTP=1
DefaultTP=4
ValueTP=0
DefaultTPValue=10.00000000
xs_0005=--Stop Loss
UseStopLoss=1
VisualSL=1
DefaultSL=4
ValueSL=0
DefaultSLValue=12.00000000

The distance of VisualTP and SL is 4 pips, respectively. Isn't this too small?
Shouldn't it be increased to 400, etc?

Alternatively, the ValueTP and ValueSL be set to 1 instead, while nullifying the VisualTP/SL?

Regards,
Akira

Hi Akira

The Visual TP / SL lines can be adjusted by double clicking on them and dragging them to your required position.

If the Visual TP / SL lines are too far apart and not visible on your chart then you right click on the chart,
go to Objects > scroll down till you see the Horizontal line Take Profit or Stop Loss > double click on it >
go to properties and input the new required values.

Thanks George for your input.

I am aware of what you have described. I think I confused you but my problem is the two lines are sometimes almost at the same position as the entry mark, so that if I am not at the screen, bot will hit it and close the basket. This happens almost immediately with M15 for instance and I can't tell what setting I did wrong. I want to avoid this and want the two lines well apart with correct setting.

Can you think of any input parameters/values doing this "two lines at the same point" thing?

Akira

Please help

My problem is that : I open a basket and lets say it goes into profit but then heads south towards zero. The EA closes out the positions and that seems to be because whatever SL setting I use combined with break even, the Minimum Profit is displayed as zero and closes out when below that value

But the EA may only have been open 5 mins

How do I prevent that happening ???

Hi Akira,

I have been playing around with the settings in the EA - learning some more every day.

I think just looking at the set file may be misleading.

From the EA itself (my edited version) -

extern string xs_0004 = "--Take Profit";
extern bool UseTakeProfit = true;
extern bool VisualTP = true; ---->>> In the set file this value will be 1 for True
extern int DefaultTP = 4; ---->>> This is the number of pips the marker should be away from the current price
extern bool ValueTP = false; ---->>> Set this to true if you want the robit to take profit when the basket reaches TPValue
extern double DefaultTPValue = 10; ---->>> This will be your starting profit target (in acc currency)
extern string xs_0005 = "--Stop Loss";
extern bool UseStopLoss = true;
extern bool VisualSL = true; ---->>> In the set file this value will be 1 for True
extern int DefaultSL = 4; ---->>> This is the number of pips the marker should be away from the current price
extern bool ValueSL = false; ---->>> Set this to true if you want the robit to close trades when basket reaches SLValue
extern double DefaultSLValue = 12; ---->>> This will be your starting stoploss (in acc currency)

My comments come from the T101 Basket Trader V2 pdf - see attachments to this thread.

Hope this helps,

Hi KOS,

Again it is obvious that whoever first thought of the basket trading approach must be exceptionally brilliant. All those that contributed to making the EA what it is today are great people. But KOS, GVC etc on this thread are legends.

a. It is a safe way to avoid many bad trades. although it is not perfect. no system is but like the adage goes; ....some systems are more equal than others.

b. It helps to gauge and weigh market sentiments. this way you will be on the side of major trends most times. and when you are not, you will quickly see HAS change color and join the train.

c. the ea removes sentiments. i did not want to use the ea in the first place. but after lots of testing and contributions from the house, i realize that it actually helps. it will be dumb to see all the free money on show and not want to benefit. I took my time to read the lines of the coding and saw that it actually takes signals from HAS. the fact that kos's HAS does not repaint gives me more confidence.

d. now it's even easy to scalp on m15 and swing on h4. it is your choice.

e. use good mm and you cant regret trading fx with this system MM is very important.

f. don't rush. there will be many more opportunities. if you miss one, wait for the next and don't over trade.

cheers.
