Seller 9,

yeah your new basket5 ea v1 appears to load real smooth with no error msgs but it does not fire the trades when the HAS conditions are met.

i loaded it up on defaults but no trades were triggered even when the HAS signaled a trade.

i tried to press the manual buttons for buy n sell n they worked great but somehow the ea fails to trigger trades on its own.

no error msgs as well. pls advise

thanks.

If you are using the defaults on the H1 offline chart there has been only one trade so far and that was on the 13th as I showed in previous posts.

Were you up and running at that time?

Post a screen shot of the chart showing the trade missed and your set file.

Everything is working as planned for me, just the one trade taken so far.

My previous trade that was open got closed by a cross and close below the trend line I had palced on the chart as shown previously, so it looks like that is working OK, just didn't give it enough room to move as it went higher.
Made some pips anyway, thats good, and I didn't have to sit and watch the chart.

The way the trend option works is it only looks at the color of the trend HAS on the time frame you have set it to, if it is Blue you have an uptrend and Red for a down trend, it does not wait for any change of color, only the color of the previous closed candle is looked at.

Just make sure you have an offline chart open for what ever time frame you are using for the trend, this is a must for any of HAS settings.

With the default settings they are all set for H1, so you need only a H1 offline chart to place the EA on.

So if you put the EA on an M15 offline chart and look for an entry with the HAS entry set to 15 and a trend HAS set to 60, you will need a H1 offline chart open as the EA will look for it to see what the H1 HAS is for the basket.

The only HAS setting this does not apply to is the setting for the Pair HAS, you don't need an offline chart for this as the EA is looking at the HAS for each individual pair witch there is data already available for in your history folder.

Seller 9,

i get this

"2013.08.15 04:44:50 Basket_5_v1 #kos#05,H1: function 'Zuninstall' call from dll 'Z.dll' critical error c0000005 at 69D510D1."

any solution for this?

and i think it causes the ea to freeze n to not take trades. also the trend option when switched on does not appear to work.

its really weird cos on the other ea the basket v105v5 ea, the trades are always triggered accurately, the only issue is the infinite loop of msgs in the msg tab which cause high cpu usage .

it would be perfect if basketv105v5 ea could be modified to remove the infinite loop for error msgs cos i have tested that extensively using m5 entry HAS and exiting on H1 has on multiple pairs and it always works well except for the error msgs issue.

your idea of entry on m5 HAS with h1 HAS exits does well on individual pairs because there is always some h1 trend going in some pair and the m5 HAS always gets you in on that trend.

i honestly hope you can solve the infinite loop msgs issue in bskt105v5 cos the execution of the orders on that ea is flawless.

thanks again and really appreciate your generosity!

The trend line has a bug which has been fixed in the next version.
The Z.dll question has been answered before and is in the Word Doc.

Mine is working just fine.

Seller9,

my HAS trend setting is 60, 2,9,2,12

i'm using the m5 has as trigger to try to replicate the basket105v5 ea whereby we enter on m5 HAS following h1 HAS trend and also exiting based on h1 HAS to reduce whipsaws. your idea was solid.

i'm using that on a 5 pair jpy bskt .

Seller9,

i still get this "2013.08.15 04:44:50 Basket_5_v1 #kos#05,H1: function 'Zuninstall' call from dll 'Z.dll' critical error c0000005 at 69D510D1."
i have the z.dll in my libraries folder.

even though my ea buttons load nicely....could the critical error cause the ea to act erratic? kindly point me in the right direction regarding this error.

i have tried putting it on a m1 chart for testing , with has entry true, has trend false has trigger m1 , HAS setting 2,2,2,2. with has exit true also m1 has setting 2,6,2,8.

it triggers nicely when HAS m1 2,2,2,2 changes color but again the HAS exit does not work. it never exits even when HAS m1 2,6,2,8 changes color.

really appreciate your help cos this ea is great!

You need a H1 and M5 offline chart open of the basket for your settings to work, any basket HAS setting has to have an offline chart for its time frame for it to work, that is where the EA gets its HAS info from.

Don't worry about the Z.dll error as long as the buttons are working, that only happens when the EA tries to reload the Z.dll which is already present.

I have been testing different things so I got kicked out of the trade but looks like trend is still intack, although we are getting some pull back towards the trend line at this time.

Seller9,

yeah i know i need the h1 n m5 offline chart loaded and i have done so but somehow the HAStrend does not work.

i run it on m1 to check if various settings work but even on m1,with HAS trend set to true, with m1 HAS trigger at 2222 and m1 HAS exit 2628 m1 HAS trend at 2,9,2,12, the ea simply doesnt trade. no error msgs.

with HAStrend set to false, i managed to get the ea to trigger the trade on m1 at the correct time when HAS 2222 changed color and it also exited at HAS 2628 color change so that is superb indeed.

but its frustrating cos with HAS trend working, we could really cleanup nicely even on m1 timeframe.

have u tested HAStrend true and got it to work? anyone succeeded with HAStrend true filter?

I am at present running a test with your settings and will see what happens. M1 HAS just turned down but M1 trend is still up, so will need to wait for them to agree and see what happens.

Seller9,

thanks for running the test on m1..fully appreciated!!

i have a great interest in this ea because the ability to trigger and exit trades based on different timeframe or HAS settings along with a HAS filter is gold.

i see you r now running the v2 version..cool...if the HAStrend works, its great news!

i think your idea of triggering on m5 ,exiting on h1 with h1 HAS trend filter is brilliant cos we can keep the stops tight , let profits run , reduce whipsaws,etc.

if the v2 HAStrend works...pls send me a copy asap...LOL..thanks again man!

OK, that trade just closed as it hit the HTSL and since the trend had changed to down it opened a short trade as the trigger HAS flipped to red.

Looks to me like it is doing what it should be doing.

Version 2 will be out this weekend.

wow..great news Seller 9!

yeah i been running that m1 test but with HAStrend on..it never took a trade... only with HAStrend off, trades trigger but its not very useful because there will be trades taken against the trend that go into heavy losses n way too many whipsaws without the HAStrend filter.

could u pls attach the setfile that u used so i can try it on my v1 ea?

thanks again!
