Hi guys, i decide to trade basket again since i've fail countless time with trading only eurusd pair in this past 2 year. In my mind i think that if i focus on trading 1 pair i will be able to master it, well i was wrong. Last year i already tried this basket system but it never interest me, so i will try it again and it will be my last trading method/system. If i fail this one too i think i will quit trading forex for good.

Will try 14 pairs on demo for 1-2 month, will see how it goes... Wish me luck

Slow and Steady!

Hi all

I entered a 14 pair long yesterday. A bit late maybe but made a good profit. Up +-300 pips. Still open though. The redline in the pic was my entry.

faizpakoh: Keep on trying! You have to find your own rythm with trading and set your own rules. Personally, there are better pairs to trade than EU. I believe BTS trading is the best way to go. The same effort for a higher ROR. You just have to manage your risk. Hope this helps.

Regards

Brendon

Hi Sharemaster I cannot think that the suffix is the problem, it is my understanding that all the pairs would have a suffix and not just a few. The problem is usually the following: The mt4 server is busy and did not take the trades in white, The pairs are not listed in your "Market Watch" window or Your account does not have enough free margin to place 14 trades at once... Have a look in your "journal" tab at the bottom of your platform and it should give you the reason why it could not open those trades.......

I'd say most likely the market watch (as listed by GVC), i trade through FXCM and you'll find that not all the pairs are listed when you first load MT4. i find that hiding all pairs and then selecting only the symbols i use fixes a lot of issue's including lagging if you run a lot of offline charts.

Hi MPP and GVC,

Thanks for all your input as par my issue. GCV was right, the DD sufix was not the issue. I looked closely the logs as mentioned by GVC and could see that the !TLE MT4 was looking for was different from what I had in my systerm. So I corrected this and it seems all pairs are now friends again. I will also try what you said MPP by hidding all and only selecting the ones I trade hope that will help in lagging issue. I still note that if you have more than three offline charts on, the others hang and only two offline charts function at one time. This has been raised before but I don't recall what the solution was. Since moving over to a new MT4 systerm I am having to relearn some stuff about BTS all over again. Thanks all.

Hi

I have been trading the 14 pairs for a while but would like to trade the 5 pairs.
Is it possible for someone to post the 5 pair buy/sell scripts and the offline indicator?
Please?

C5 H4 chart, what I normally trade... Have fibbed last up move and plan to manage position size as shown on chart. The idea being that the more shallow the retracement, the smaller the position size on continuation(being at, or near S in downtrend , or R in uptrend), the larger on reversal. Would like to hear from the veteran traders on this one... Pippo

Just a note, tomorrow is a Holliday in the UK so price may just range about the place. More green pips to us all.

Page 164, post #3,280 for ind. Page 81, post #1,613 for scripts(or, you can alter orig. scripts in mt4.zip, (page 2, post#28) to trade C5 pairs only). The thread can be searched very easily by clicking on paperclip at top of page...
