{quote} the lotsize was 0.01. Do not know what the problem is?
Is that the minimum allowed by your broker?

In the H1 chart HAS 2 1 3 1 of H1, H4 and Daily have converged together. Breakout is imminent. It could happen during US session. Disabled automatic trading options in the EA. Being Friday and USD never moves the basket much it is better to keep away. Personally I don't count on USD to trade the basket. Perhaps I will use the USD basket to make quick entry and exit.

Can you please elaborate what that would mean for the normal 14BKT.
Does that mean if there is a breakout its of no relevance. Whipsaw like?
Or does that mean that this imminent breakout comes with some Whipsaw in front and finaly could go for a 500pips ride, any direction?

Question guys/gals, is there a way to work something like the ADR or ATR for a basket (core5 or 14 pairs), or is this impossible? Thanks

{quote} Shiftbar how many bars it need to paint to confirm new trend - leave it at 1. Pips factor = adjust accordingly if you broker reports 1000 pips when it should be 100 adjust accordingly Spread = how much spread you are paying for a whole basket -it subtracts it off the profit for each closed signal.
Hi manuel, would appreciate some assistance/clarification please. My questions are below:

1. You state "Pips factor = adjust accordingly if you broker reports 1000 pips when it should be 100". This is not very clear. To make it simple, what should the figure be for 4-decimal broker, and a 5-decimal broker.
2. If for example I wanted check optimum settings for the core5 pairs, do I open a chart each for all the pairs, any time period, and drop the XOProfitSinglev3shiftbar, and I_XO_A_H new indicators on each chart?
3. The default box size for I_XO_A_H new is 800, is this where I change the box size settings to find out which setting is optimum?
4. The XOProfitSinglev3shiftbar indicator has the following parameters amongst others. What do they mean/do, and do I have to change the settings?
BOptimize

XOSetting

Draw Triangles (I know this draws a triangle, but is the purpose of this?)
MinXO

MaxXO

StepXO

Count Optimize

Repaint Bar

Alarm (for what?)
bspeak


Many thanks.

The 1200 pips from monday long do help, at least a little bit. Not the first time I get whipsawed after a huge run..

This ATR indicator works on the offline basket charts.

Have a look at the code and it will give some clues.. there are some notes there.

Bear in mind I am not a programmer or a coder - i am just a code cutter - much like comparing someone with a phrase book speaking an foreign language


I code cutted from http://codebase.mql4.com/source/23881 and changed settings
