Ok I know I'm risking it here but would some one kindly enlighten me? What is advantage of running an EA from an offline chart vs a online chart? I have no prior experience with offline charts so I simply don't know. If the answer is in this thread I failed to catch it sorry about that.

The signals get triggered by a basket of currency pairs. This basket is created by the basket_v6 indicator, which generates an offline chart. The price behavior that generates the buying, selling, stops, targets etc. are determined by the price behavior of the offline chart.

If you run an ea on an online chart (EU, GJ, GU, or whatever) the signals will be generated based on the price behavior of this online chart, but this is just a part and not a full mirror of the price behavior of all pairs included in the basket. Imho the basket is a great tool for a smoothed view of the price behavior of all individual pairs combined, ie diversifying.

Hi TJ!
You are not risking anything, its a good question
Running EA from offline chart reduces the number of opened charts by one, that's all.

I later decided to run EA from normal chart because:
Whenever I missed an entry lets say a BUY from 1 HR TF, or I hit BE, I simply change the Timeframe input of the EA to 15min
and the tradeType to BUYONLY and it will start watching the offline chart of 15min TF for a buy and when
HAS colour changes back to Blue it will take the buy joining the main trend of the offline chart in 1HR TF.

EA loaded!
and I think its waiting for the first signal of the year

I need plenty of luck,
cos if the first trade of the year turns out to be a success and a huge trend
it will boost my confidence and reduce tension on the next ones, cos I know
if the next one didn't work, it wouldn't touch my business money, only from the profit.

I'll let us see when, it fires the first salvo.

I do not trade Kos method because it is not mathematically sound (whether people make pips or not I do not argue, I am just not comfortable with it) however I do have 3 baskets that are specifically designed to capture the big moving pairs (gbp/jpy, eur/jpy, etc) while offsetting some risk that a politician will shit news and blow my oversized position.
I raised this issue earlier in the thread and while it was acknowledged it was ignored. Could you please post or PM me your baskets please?

Oh my Garsh.... you're joshing me LOL.
For that we are going through all this trouble? Online, offline... it's simply confusing enough with all the indys and things going on. I just don't need it
Thank you Kos, now I will no longer even give it a 2nd thought lol

On a 2nd note I'm about caught up reading but I'll need a day or two to get settled into the setups.
On another note: I've been watching your temperment and I must say, you're the very best of the the best man!

All the best blessings,
TJ

Which of the several available versions of the EA are you using? are you going fully auto or only using it for entries?

THx!

bye swissforex!!
there are things in life more ferocious than Forex
but some of us may offer to fight this stronger enemy side by side with you if you had given us the chance anyway.
but since you prefer to fight alone

I wish you the grace to overcome in life.

Kos Baba!
I hail you o!

Wonderful presentation.
Clear entry. Clear Exit. Clear MM.

I've spent the past month or so digesting from T101's thread to the indicators to Crodzilla's.
This is by far the most clearly laid out of the BTS threads I've read.

Lots of thanks to BTS's Moses (T101) for the gargantuan effort of devising this system and all positive contributors - GVC, ESTrader, Brijon, SteveHopwood and all others who nurtured and preserved BTS in the wilderness despite its persecussion in Eygpt (T101s old thread).

Thanks to Joshua (Kos), BTS has made it to Canaan.

I couldn't have chosen a better thread to which I could give up my FF innocence.

PS: Don't be fooled by the post count........

Didn't physically take the trade as I was not fully set up however, I noted real-time what my trade would have been @ 0900 GMT and after a max of 100pips DD, I would now have been sitting on approx +550pips.

Entry taken off the H1 TF.

Away to study basket management EAs now.
