Hi seller. Would it be possible to have the basket entry price displayed perhaps above the magic number on the screen? This would help for reference if using crtl 6 & ctrl 7 based off the enter. Great EA by the way!!

Hi, seller9.
My 5 pair basket opened yesterday at approximately the same time as you indicated in your previous post. Then it was closed at TP which was set by default at 400 pips. Now the question is: the price action continues down but there is no action from the bot, will it just sit out until one of the indies change colour? In a strong downtrend this may not happen for a long time and plenty of potentially profitable pips will be missed. Therefore I think that H1 tf is too slow and m15 presents much more opportunities.

Hi Seller,

Thank you very much for your EA. Iīm testing it on a small live account running 3 different magic numbers, one for each type of entry, in this way it will be easy to see the performance for each entry.

I want to share a script founded at Kosīs thread that solved a problem I had with my offline charts: after a while they didnīt get updated and price remained the same. Attach this script to the chart and problem solved.

Cheers

Why do you have the BO Lines so close together?

You have to have a closed candle above or below the BO channel lines for it to take a trade and I don't see that in your screen shot.

If you get an Entry 1 and then you miss the Entry 3 because it is past the color change of IXO2 then you can do what I showed by using a BO Line to catch it if PA continues down or just do a manual entry. In either case you can then use IXO1 as an exit or put TP,SL lines on the chart so the EA will handle the trade.

Thats one of the reasons I am thinking of slowing down my IXO2 on my 14 pair setup as I missed the Entry 3 after the Entry 1 because IXO2 was to fast and was already done and in the past.

This is something that as weneed to do more testing with and may do some tweaking in the EA for this kind of thing so we don't have to do a manual entry, but will need more long term testing before I start making changes to the EA.

Good Luck

My basket that opened on Sept 23, closed this morning in profit. The EA opened another basket about an hour ago.

Great EA! Thank you

Playing around with it on a live account today i activated the BO method which subsequently triggered a basket trade as it should.

Next thing i did was to play around with the stop loss (Ctrl 7), this also worked fine, moving the stop loss line to the price line triggered the stop loss ok.

However i am now unable to activate Ctrl 0 or Ctrl 9 and cannot access Expert Advisor properties.

So far have re installed experts, indicators and templates, rebooted laptop etc but am still getting the same problem.

Do you have any idea as to why im seeing this issue?

Edit: Ok, got it working again, deleted an indicator called FXPrime then ok! Must have been causing a conflict!

The only thing that comes to mind is the Hot Keys only work on the active window, click the chart to make sure it is the active window and then try them.

BT_14_v3nb is due out this next weekend, only a couple of changes to it.

1) Added the trade open price to the display, it only shows when a trade is active.

2) As previously mentioned I have been thinking (very dangerous) about what to do when you miss a re-entry trade, Entry 2, if the IXO2 had crossed during the Entry 1 trade is already long gone after the Entry 1 trade closes but you are still in a trend. What I am trying is an option the user can turn on "ChangeToEntry2 = true". If you are in an Entry 1 trade and while this trade is still open the IXO2 crosses in the same direction the Entry 1 trade will then become an Entry 2 trade and the TP point that was set by the Entry 1 trade will be removed, so now you will be using IXO1 reversal, (if you had this set to true), as the exit. At this time if there were any TP lines you added to the chart they will be removed also.

Something to try, will see what happens, so keep this update post in mind if you download the next version this weekend.

Good Luck

Other ideas that come to mind concerning the previous post are:

1) If you are in a Entry 1 trade and you get a Entry 2 signal take a partial profit and leave the rest ride.

OR

2) Add to the order when already in an Entry 1 and a Entry 2 signal happens.

These are for future versions as I don't want to make too many changes at once.

The hard entry is when you get kicked out of a good trend by a short term turn around and you need a way for the Robot to get back in without doing a manual entry.
HAS is still OK and agrees with IXO2 but IXO1 is whip sawing around, and of course you don't want to get back in if the trend is nearing the end.

I guess this is where the trader comes into play, the Robot can do only so much.

What do you all think.

Hello, Seller9 .. you are the best !!
i test in different TF , but prefer 1H , hav eone idea for not close the BIG signal Trade

Sorry for my english

when the EA open a Trade whit Entry 1 i use 0.02
I do not put the take profit, but I'm going to close orders leaving 0,01 still on the market at this point I have a gain,
my trade continue to stay in the market
You could put this on automatic ?
close half Lots and establish the closure will close the other half remained in the market .

To seller9 and all contributors...excellent work!

I have been around this business for "a while" with varying degrees and periods of success. For those that have been at this for a few years I am confident that all would agree, trading is almost entirely faith, trust, and belief in both whatever system you're applying, but mostly Yourself!

I looked at BT about a year ago and for whatever reason, abandoned it. My interest was renewed discovering this thread a few days ago. I loaded everything up (great documentation BTW seller9) onto my live account, and 36 hours later I have taken 647 pips! My faith, trust, and belief in BT have been restored!

This is leading to a quick question for those more experienced with offline charts...
I followed seller9's instructions to the letter in my attempt to create a M15 offline chart. What I created appears in my offline chart list, I open it but appears it is not receiving any tick data (the chart is not updating price). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many Pips to All!

EDIT: Figured it out :-)
