the HAS 14 signal indicator does not have any load that your PC cannot not carry
it just consult the HAS indicator to paint those arrows. What sometimes hangs up mt4
is if the version of mt4 that compiles the indicator is higher than the one you want to use it on.
it may hang the system. check it out its a very light indi for that matter.

That's odd fx...it shouldn't hold up your system - its quite light if you ask me - plus am NOT exactly using the most "top-of-the-range system". Anyways, no sweat maybe someone else will gain from it?

With this basketing sometimes there are various "small small winches" - i.e. inexplicable phenomenon, which abound. For instance, for some crazy reason, the I-XO-A-H indie doesn't work on my charts - I have tried in on D1 through M1 ALL to no avail (and yes I used the 800 setting). I get these very thin lines with DONT look ANYTHING like what y'all are having on your charts. I see looooooong periods of greeen or rrrreeeeed. Thats all.

Oh well..., thank God for HAS.

Comparing baskets, you can see the these two correlate very well with less spread being paid (less pairs) XO parameters is the same (800) Can anyone think of any disadvantage just trading these four pairs? EURJPY, GBPJPY,AUDJPY,NZDJPY basket {image} versus 14 pair basket {image}
its a matter of choice.
the 4 rely heavily on JPY. less spread less profit. more exposure to JPY vagaries
the XO is not painting the same, and I can spot a lot of diff in the charts which make a lot of diff.

this has been discussed over and over and over again, add GBPUSD to it and you have the Core5

I hope some other person would be interested in your question

As Kos said, you would want to go with the 14 basket because it is much smoother

the LONG for today is now 1000+ pips, UP
what a beautiful start of the week

that's where a bot is needed, the trade was taken around 4.00 am.
I woke up to meet it already green. If it had not taken it, by 8am when I get to office
it would have been late and the fear of retracement won't allow me as a person to take it again.
and 1000 pips would have wakka pass just like that.

Thanks for your replies.

Comparing profit levels, i could double the stakes from 0.4 £GBP per pip (spreadbetting) to 0.8 £GBP with 4 pairs - still less exposure compared to 0.4 stake each with 14 pairs and would seem to give more profit (using 14 pair X signal entries of course)

Comparing smoothness - I agree, XO is acting differently I guess its due to price level axis, however the 4 pair candles has FAR shorter wicks so I would say price action is SMOOTHER - less variation with highs and lows.

I will continue to monitor profit levels of each basket...

I'd suggest you try both ways over a 1 year period, you've just about selected the 4 pairs with the highest spread and they occupy almost half of my spread across the 14 pairs, there also the fastest moving pairs.

so whilst you feel that you have limited your exposure, you've actually increased the number of times your signals will call for a move to BE and then be hit for SL.

The idea behind the 14 pairs is to take advantage of the bigger moving pairs, but give yourself time to react to the market by using the 14 pairs to average out the moves and whips and smooth the market forces out, so you can trade at your pace and not the brokers.

{quote} I just checked your profile and am truly moved. You will get there shortly, keep the goal in sight, be focused. Small lot sizes will help you gain confidence and gradually banish fear. Hosting an EA with minimum lot size on a vps will take away the stress of screen-watching at your age, all you will be doing is just ensuring the connection is on. But I doubt if you can trust an EA with your money. kos
Hi Kos -- Thanks very much for your thoughts & support & advice, it helps a lot.

I have taken on many projects during my lifetime & have not yet experienced one worth taking on that did not have frustrating periods along the way or require much trial & error, & dedication, before mastering it. Almost always, it takes longer than at first anticipated.

With the knowledge & detail contained in your thread, I believe I will have it mastered soon if I keep at it.
I will not fail if I do not give up.

I am confident that your system works, I can see the logic of it & the many trade examples & results displayed by yourself & your great support team.

My main hurdle is learning to focus on the process & being very single minded about what's occurring with the price action, & not be distracted.

When I have done this, I will be there.

Thanks again

Sincerely

Larfa

Hi Kos,

Just tumbled on your system and starting to read this thread from page 1. With regards to your set-up instructions on page 2 (post: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...19#post6127019), you state

"For the VQ 1hr to work on your 15min chart you have
to make sure the 60 min offline chart is open too
that means you repeat the step above for a 60min
offline chart. else the VQ will not show up on 15min chart"

My question is once I open the 60min offline chart, do I have to apply the template (15min_1hr_vq_offline.tpl) to this chart as well, or attach the VQ?

Many thanks

You just need it to be open since it reads information from it

yes Sir!,
the H4 TF on IXOAH caught the fall big time,
while HAS H1 failed to do so. the fall was too fast for HAS to understand
it was a BOJ intervention

800 pips banked/locked now out of the +1,700 pips fall,
at least that is good for a day's reward.

thank you too for yanking those 500 pips off your broker's

Are you the guy doing IXOAH on H4?

thats why I picked the indicator it does not repaint, and it attempts to catch every turn of price
though in this process it take some losses especially when price is painting red, green red bars
but those emergency fast moves don't meet it unprepared
and that is the weakness of HAS, on a steady going tending move HAS is the king
but fast pacing price would throw it off balance
