Remember to load the "C5 Offline" indicator 3 times onto a normal chart...e.g. GBPJPY.(and leave them to run on that chart)

Set TF the first time you put it on chart to 15, second to 60 and third to 240.

"Open Offline" file and look for Core505,M15, Core505,H1 and Core505,H4.

If you downloaded the earlier C5 Offline indicator then your offline charts will be Core506,M15 etc...

If there is missing data on your offline chart then you can either restart mt4 or go to the chart where your C5 Offline indicators are and double click...

Hi GVC,

Can you kindly explain how that would work...using the features of the EA if I place my trades manually? How do I get to put in my TP, SL , trailing etc since these are an integral part of the EA and only appear once the EA is loaded and a trade activated....hope my question makes sense

Thanks for helping out

Ning, It all looks correct except that you have loaded the EA on the EURUSD chart.
Load the EA onto the H1 Offline chart.
You can also load the Heiken_Ashi_Smoothed indicator on the offline chart so that you can visually see the EA work.

Remove the EA from the chart, then reload it again and input your TP, SL, Trailing etc. in the "Dialogue Box"
Once that is done then you can manually place your trades....

You can even do this during a trade....

Another option is to press F3 and change the inputs in the Global Variables...

Thank you sir for your post.

and I have put that EA on the offline chart of EU H1.
This time it is all good, right?

Why on EU, H1 (offline)? Aren't you trading the basket? Yes, EA should be on the basket offline chart: Core506, H1 (offline) in your case.

Hi Akira

Set the VisualTP AND VisualSL from 1 to 4 or higher.
"two lines at the same point" thing

Thanks George.

Am still struggling, though. Maybe the trailing setup may be affecting the TP/SL lines convergence. Oh well, I am not a fun of trailing anyway, so the problem is solved so long as I don't use trailing.

But I am a little confused here.

so, the first step in creating 3 offline charts(15m 1h 4h), right?
second step put the C5 EA on the 1h charts(core506,h1 offline), is this the correct step?

That apart i have been trying the 2,3,2,4 settings on H4 for a while now and it seems to be very appealing to the eye on screen and also very stable in terms of signals. Though there will be times of ranging and whipsaws, but it rarely give fake signals. At most a small loss or BE. I advice we have a look at it.

Check the attached picture and only 5 signals generated in the last one month (marked by red lines). All valid giving a net return of over 10,000 pips. It can't get better than this in FX. Train your eyes with the basket offline charts...
Hi bishop,

Sounds very interesting. Pls post updates as trades take place.
Will be doing the same with my demo Oanda.

Am currently on H1 with 2,15,2,15 and wanted to go higher TF for stability.

Akira

PS: For newbies, notice !TLE_HAS_KOS_adj indicator by GVC is used to have the 2,3,2,4 setting. This indicator should be installed in indicator folder, change parameters (default is still 2,15,2,15) and the EA should also reflect this indicator name in the input window.

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

Hi Suzette,

Are you primarily on M15?

Have you tried H1 or H4?

Yes Ning.

Your image shows you are doing all right, except that you put the EA on the wrong chart (EU).

Just put the EA on Core506, H1 (offline) instead. Kill (remove) the EU offline chart (this is not necessary).

Hope this helps,

Ning,

Orders will be placed when HAS changes colour. When it changes from green to red, EA will place sell orders of the basket pairs and when from red to green, buy orders.

This is how this system is designed and EA will monitor the colour and place orders.

Hi Swiss forex,

I erroneously called you swissquote and that is why you perhaps did not see this message. Can you kindly oblige? Thx.

I am also STILL not able to get my head round on how to be able to place Limit and Stop Orders and also set the visual SL and TP lines for trades I want to place manually although GVC replied me on thiis as did futurespec (thanks to both of you). Once again thanks in advance...

N

Hi Swissquote,

Would you be kind enough to post your settings for the EA including your full edited version of the set file? I still seem to be having some issues with setting trailing, locking in profit etc

Do you or anyone else here know if it's possible to use the (movable) visual SL and TP lines if I want to place trades manually?

Thx in advance,

N

What exactly do you mean when you say "place orders manually"?

Do yo mean (1) via the EA chart, by double clicking on the "word control" such as Buy Basket or Sell Basket (for example) and dragging it a bit to the side or (2) not via the EA but with an external script?

I understand if (1) the tp/sl visual lines would appear and you can move them up/down, but if (2) the lines would not appear, so you would have to close positions via either other "word controls" on the chart or other method.

I may be wrong, in which case correct the above (anyone).

Hi Rising,

When I say manually, yes, I mean on the EA chart using the buy all/sell all script (akin to a market order on a normal chart,although if I could have the feature of placing ADVANCE limit or stop orders as on a normal chart, I would like to utilise that too). Since the EA has the features built-in ( I believe) for having the SL and TP movable lines, I was wondering how I can use these on instances where I place the trade as I described using the scripts for example, and as soon as the trade is placed I should be able to see my "visual" TP and SL lines (as would be the case when the EA opens a trade) which I can then adjust accordingly. I am grateful to GVC and Futurespec as it seems this is possible but for some reason I am still unable to get my head round this...

By the way what do you mean by "by double clicking on the "word control" such as Buy Basket or Sell Basket (for example) and dragging it a bit to the side" ...

Thanks and regards,

I believe what you are saying is case (2). Then it is unlikely that the tp/sl movable lines wouldn't appear.

The case (1) is via the "word control" as I describe it. All of these words on the EA chart are it.

SUSPEND BOT
Buy Basket
Sell Basket
B. Stop
B. Limit
S. Stop
S. Limit

If you double click any of them, it will be highlighted with a square box, which then can be moved to a bit to activate.

Once you activated, PROCESSING would appear telling you EA is processing the control.

Have you tried this?

Akira

PS: Just occurred to me, that if you have the magic number (1010101 by default of EA) associated with your external script order entry, the tp/sl lines may appear. Demo it.
