Basket_H105_v2

First bug found for those using a suffix on their pair name.

All the loaded up, but I'm on ibfx crim mini demo.
They have "m" suffix, so added that when loading ea on #kos#05m,H1 offline chart, but got the error screen saying
"This EA can ONLY be run on the offline chart #kos#05,H1, EA is stopping!"
So not sure if the error check is including the suffix in the test.

Here is an updated version for those who have this problem, sorry...

Hello Seller

Basket_H105_v3

Ok, you guys are good, I have removed the error from the wrong chart as it seems every Broker is going to be a little different , so why fight it, just remove it, so just be sure you put it on a H1 5 pair chart. While doing this I was going through the code and found a typo error that would affect the Basic H1 strategy, so I fixed that also, it probably would have shown its head later down the line. So hopefully we have them all now and can get down to some serious testing.

Here is the latest, I have chaged it to version 3 so we can tell them apart, everything looks the same and all the default settings are still the same.

Good Luck

I am all set to start testing, hopefully no bugs will pop up and I can get a complete month in without having to stop and restart. I am going to be running three different tests, all on demo accounts using a .01 lot so it will be easy to see which one has more profit, if any at all.

#1) This will be my base line and will be set up to just trade the H1 and go in and out on the color changes, no HSL, HTP, HTSL or pip filter, just H1 color changes.

#2) This is the full blown model using the M5 for the trigger and the H1 and H4 for direction and a 150 pip filter. HTP = 1000, HSL = 200, and HTSL = 200.

#3) This model will use the M5 for trigger, H1 for direction and 150 pip filter, HTP = 1000, HSL = 200, and HTSL = 200.

Good luck to all testing and please only do demo testing for at least a month to see that everything works ok.

Hello Seller9 etal

First of all Thankyou for this great method of basket trading and for sharing with the community.
Thanks for the input and welcome and hope you can help us all out with some testing also.

The idea of basket trading is by no means mine, I am just jumping on the train before it leaves the station, I don't want to get left behind.

Good Luck

Thank You Seller,

It is my intention to test and help out as much as I can.
By a serendipitous act of God I happened to bump into GVC
on Christmas Eve this past year after he first introduced me to "Baskets"
nearly 2 years ago. Recently I was studying a different type of basket trading
and in comparison realized this method is so much more complete and well ...natural.

I don't want to be left behind either. I'm on board.

Thanks again Seller. Carpe diem !

I can't tell from your screen shot , but does your s have a comma or period before it, if so, include it in the suffix.

Hello Seller9 etal

I think the idea of testing a 15 long signal for short trade and vice versa is a really ingenius idea with this method.

That was max_Pain who suggested that, and looking at some charts it may turn out to be a good idea in certain cases, it is in the EA but uses the M5 not the M15.

Tee time for pips is getting closer, (Super Bowl also, what happened to the Packers).

One thing I may just add is auto suffix detection to my next version list of possible additions.

Another addition that was mentioned by a trader was a dynamic pip filter that would adjust to the PA High/Low swings of the basket. The Avg Pips already tells us what the high to low average over the last 24 hours has been, we could use that or modify it slightly.

Just some thoughts

Maybe this whole thing will crash and burn before the day is out.

Good Luck to all and may the force be with you.

It looks like maybe you are doing just basic H1 color change with HTP, HSL, HTSL, and 50 pip filter, if that is correct it should be OK.

Good Luck

Seller9, this was my frist trade with the EA with m5 reverse trigger. It did good, but even after "MM" closed the entries with trailing pips the EA refuses to b "happy" (start).

If I see my entry shortly after market opened and Max entry I think a good
idea is to wait until London will open to start the EA for new basket trades after the weekend.....
