please post results of EA, how does it perform over long term?
When I get some long term data I will post it, if you look back through the forum you will see where charts have been posted as to how its is suppose to work and what it may have done looking back a month, but that does not mean it will do that in the future, everything always looks great in the past, only time will tell and then we can all have a big party on some nice warm island.

Good Luck

fantastic stuff, just the way i trade, thanks, will try this ea out. just one query, will it open just one trade and once that hits tp or sl, will it then wait for next signal. {quote}
It is designed to do 1 basket at a time fully automatic on the H1 time frame offline chart.

If it proves itself and we see we are headed in the right direction I may work on a multiple basket trader in the future, adding positions as the trade gets better, but for now I need to see if this is going to work, so I need to leave it as is for now, (unless I find a bug), and see how it performs. If I keep making changes I will never get any results to prove or disprove that it works.

Good Luck

Hey Sellar..Did you get my pm....Let me know if your interested...thanks..Jimmy
Yes I did and in the past I have made a few YouTube help videos, but until I get something that is working and has been tested for a while I don't think there would be any point to it as things keep changing and the whole trading idea may fail.

Good Luck

i agree with you, let it prove itself, then futher it can be enhanced. i guess leaving it for a week or two would yield some results.

I like the idea of this EA..I have always thought that basket trading is the way to go. However, I am the type of trader to grab your pips and take the money..Having said that, does anyone have any settings set files for the 15, 30 minute time frame where you can grab your pips and run so to speak LOL...I understand the EA is hard coded for the one hour....I believe this ea will work for the basket trading.. Take care

Previous open short trade on 14 pair basket just got closed by a IXO1 reversal. This was an Entry 1 type trade.

Anyone seeing IXO repaint???

Look at these 2 screen shots, the EA closed the short trade because IXO1 changed to green, now its red, what gives.

This is what drives EAs nuts.

No repaint for me Seller... EA opened automatically a new buy trade when IXO1 turned green. There is no TP fixed. I understand that is because IXO2 was already green, no ?

Of course it repaints, like any other indi. By the way I noticed another major bug. When I started the platform today (it was several hours after the market opened), the idi which creates offline chart recalculated everything. So now the offline chart looks absolutely different from Friday. And IXO both 1 and 2 are absolutely green as if IXO1 was never red on Friday. The sell trade which the bot started on Friday is still on and in a big DD. The bot just lost it and doesn't want to close it automatically.

Hallo everyone! I am not a coder etc, but have done everything according to the "Getting Started" manual. All looks well, no trades open for the day since this morning (my time is Gmt+2 South Africa) I just want to make sure I understand the workings of the EA correctly. I have tested all the buttons, manual traded etc and all seems good.
Question:
1. The EA work in the background with the offline chart as reference - so, I do not have to open all 14 pairs?
OR
2. Do I have to open all 14 pairs with the EA attached and green smiley for the EA to work?
3. The offline chart is static and do not get updated? (mine is static)

Thank you

Right, the EA took a entry 2 trade which has no TP preset, it will use IXO1 color change (default) if you have that set to tru to exit.

Good Luck

Its not my offline chart creator, it is just one I use, there are others you can try.

You only need 2 charts open, the pair you have the offline chart indy on and the H1 offline chart it creates where you put the EA.

Let me refraise it. I have the Usd/Jpy M1 open and the #kos#14,H1(offline) open. In your examples that you display on the forum it seems to me that your #kos#14,H1(offline) gets updated with the latest prices. My #kos#14,H1(offline) remains unchanged like I saved it 5 hours ago. Is this suppose to be like that?

The offline chart should keep updating, try restarting the MT4.

Everyone may want to check the first page for an update to the next version that will be out this next weekend if all goes well, it has some additions that should make trading a basket easier.

Good luck to all

Good news about the new mod.
I have removed the current H1 bot from testing, because imho it's useless. But I'm eager to see what will be the changes in the new mod. There is always a possibility that it will be better. Though I can't imagine what can be better than the m15 bot.
Btw, have you addressed the issue with the bot's losing open trades? It can remind you that this happens when the bot is restarted after the market has already moved above/below the virtual SL. It this case the bot doesn't care about the losing trades even thogh the magic number is the same. He just pulls a green face and is ready for the next trade. Nobody in sane mind can trust with his real money the bot behaving so irresponsibly.
