Yep, they have now arrived on schedlue once you got moved and voiced your opinion on the thread move. Don't go into stealth mode, just start a blog and forget about FF postings. You have plenty of followers and FF is not needed to get your message accros.

I have been in on some bad luck.. I was hit pretty bad when the market was ranging, but then when the market drops, I missed the opportunity. And now the price dropped again, and my entry seems a bit late...

Been following this thread anonymously and I have some ideas to improve it beyond anything you can ever imagine. Think for a second and ponder this. What if you could track every up and down tick of each basket and have it averaged out onto a histogram? This will tell us if there are any time patterns in when these baskets begin to trend or reverse. Well, I have such code and I'm still compiling data on the offline chart so that we can start to see if there are any time patterns (which I think there definitely are!!).

This is Twee's forum and he can do with it whatever he likes and there ain't a darn thing anyone can say about it. If you don't like it leave. Don't talk about fair. You know what fair is? It's where pigs are judged. I think Twee can sense that since the EA is offered compiled then there is a high likelihood that the author is testing it and intends on selling it commercially. This isn't the Admin's first rodeo. Be smart and respect the forums.

I think we should start up a Skype group or something of that nature if necessary.

That idea was implemented by the man and some of those early basket traders way back in 2008. They monitor the values of all 14 pairs in different time frame. They even make a pattern out of them. After sometime everything was quiet on this, i assume something was discovered. Oh BTW they uses excel to monitor it.

So you know now why the man left this forum and never even look back. Its their forum, their rules you don't like it you leave! If you have intention to stay with them then better be quiet and bite the bullet.

Lets enjoy the commercial forum while we are here....()

I hope the thread doesn't die out. But if it does I'm going to keep trading the system anyway, with or without an ea. In fact, I have never used any of the ea's that everyone is using. I am only using the MPBM of Steve Hopwood to manage the position after it is open.

I could use an ea and probably do better, but I have been doing alright without anything else but the way the system was described in the beginning.

It is a good way to trade, either manual or auto. At least we had the chance to learn how it works and to try it out.

I'm going to keep posting my results here monthly in case anyone is interested.

they started showing up to run it over. The hyenas of FF

Kos please not respond to provocations. This topic should not die, just when most of us figure the things out, and every day we learn something new, and I'm sure there are many other things to learn, but without you will hardly get to the end, and without everyone else because everyone helped with anything possible.

P.S. Although I'm not the most active (just because I do not see how I can help), from the beginning I follow this topic, and follow the rules, I added a few things with whom I feel more comfortable and that's all. All I can say it's "IT'S WORKING" and should not be wasted in this way.

Hi Kos &all the contributors to this amazing thread. We have arrived at a sad day withthe latest events.

I havefollowed this thread from its very beginning, have copied & printed everypost & read it over & over to get to understand as much as I can.

I have notcontributed as I am a novice & believe I would only have added uselessclutter to the well managed thread. As I am nearing 4 score years of age, Ihave found that I am not as smart as I used to think I was.

Afterfinding FF two years ago, & having no knowledge of how to trade forex, I reada lot & tested a number of systems trying to find one I thought would suitmy capability & personality.

When I foundthis thread, I gradually got to feel that this is the way for me to go.

I very muchappreciate the thread for the system & the trading advice & comment aswe proceeded, it has been great.

I do notunderstand the recent events as I thought everything was going so well!!

It will be asad shame if Kos cannot continue, but I understand your chagrin in these events.

Whatever youdo Kos, the best of luck & good fortune in the future.
Thank you

I have read this thread and developed my own entry method derived from Kos's strategy.

For the first time in my trading career I am seeing profit and gaining confidence. My method is not basketting but the core of my entry is "STILL BASKETING".

Hope some day I will share my method with my fellow traders, who are still struggling, once I am successful consistently.

I thought I should give due credit to Kos for my recent success.

Thank you Kos.

Wow. Only seven posts in five days. Not long ago there were 10-30 posts every day. The mods have really thrown this thread on the trash heap by moving it to commercial. I assume that this is their method of killing off a thread instead of just deleting it. Also, is useless to appeal to them, as they never even answer an email.

As someone said earlier; it works, that's why it is here.

Anyway, I will keep checking back here as long as there are some discussions.

February was a rough month. Lots of choppy, range bound action that was broken occasionally by short bursts of activity. These are the conditions that will destroy most trend following systems, but not this one.

I placed 14 trades, had 6 losers, 5 BEs, and 3 winners. The winners made up for all the losses and I basically finished up slightly less than 1% for the month. I could have done better if I had closed the BEs early, as most of them were up a few hundred pips at some point, but I'm always waiting for a good run to develop and you can't catch one if you always cut them early. Another thing was that I missed at least one really good run that I would have been in, but I just didn't see it when it started. That one trade would have easily put my account up more than 10% for the month. Oh well. Next. As they say, one good trend pays for them all.

Hi Pistol Dave

I agree with you. As long as the thread is not closed we should continue for the benefit of new traders who come here late. The system works. Despite testing condition lost week I could manage to make 20% in three trades all are winners. I have been demoing for quite some time. I will be going live very soon. I do all my trades manually and no EA. I don't even use the trade managers available here. I am a trend trader in 4hr charts. But I find it very tough to tade the basket in a 4 hr chart as the profits made gets washed off and some times goes in to huge draw down. So for BTS I have shifted to 15/60 charts in comparison. When my trades gets me minimum 5% or more I follow through up to the retracement point and close the orders. There are plenty of reentry opportunities available in 15mts the next day. Small profits several trades are good to gather lot of profits in a month. This is the advantage of trading manually.

I am a individual trader. FxOptimus is just the name I use for the forex purpose. I don't understand why I am being shown here as a commercial member. It's realy crazy.

Happy Trading.

Yeah, February sucked in terms of choppiness. Accumulation/Distribution by the big money. Soon we'll start seeing the nice trends; I plan to keep the same H1 HAS change entries and should see some sweet pips as a result.

Dear PistolDave :

Appreciated your experience sharing, I m located at Asia, so I m living at Asia session, Europe session,
test this system from January, 2013, and discuss my Taiwan team memeber internally, this system look like trend based operation, once market direction unclear, it may difficulty to trade by "BASKET", IMHO.

At Choppy market, hit & run method , maybe this way can create many many small " WIN " instead of Big trend operation.

Also, my team members in Taiwan, curious about how to do "BE" at "BASKET system", Does it use hedge your trade position at different direction with double position/lots ? would you share it to us please ??

brs,

With Kos's blessing and a few requests, i will post the Core 5 setup.

Firstly the C5 is easier on the Spreads, so if you do not have a big account then this style is for you.

You use the C5 Offline indicator to set up your offline charts M15 and H1,(It is the Basket6 Indicator modified)

Add your Heiken Ashi Smoothed and VQ7 indicators as per Kos.

Now add the T101 Basket Trader C5 EA to the offline chart you are going to use. i.e. M15.

You use the Sliding Scripts to open, close, reverse, TP,SL, BE, etc.... all your trades.

I have...

Yep, the threads in a bit of a sorry state at the moment. It makes me wonder if we should be trawling through the commercial section and recycle bin for the best systems.

I'm still demoing and have had a bit of luck in the chop using much tighter HAS settings. I've got a lot more visual backtesting to do but I'm toying with the idea of scaling HAS settings based on volatility. I'm finding that tightening the HAS settings as ATR goes up has some potential for riding out the rough patches.

It's worth noting none of the settings I tried helped the ranging mess that was Friday hehe.

Hi. I have a simple question about the future of this system. We, as non-coder traders (me at least), will be able to use Basketv6 or C5core etc in MT5 platform when it becomes maintrend?. I'm a bit worried about that.

Thanks in advance!

There are some very good threads in the recycle section, usually there because they got to close, and the powers that be usually dump a thread either into the commercial section or ultimately into the recycle section because to remove a thread completely from FF would be to obvious.

As for getting stuck in the chop, start thinking about waiting for the market to get into sync..

Good luck, but FF isn't all that it appears to be.... only my opinion of course.

Wait for this post to be removed.....
