That read will be a good "start", and the best thing it's all free! The only other thing I would offer, apart form a strict MM Plan, is that you never attach an indicator to your chart unless you know exactly what's turning those pretty little bars or lines different colors. I truly wish you all the best.

Hi Seller 9,
Thankyou for all your work on this ea.

I have pretty much got a handle on how it works and have set up a JPY basket on both the 15min and 1hr time frames.
Caught that move today on the 15min chart and was already 500 pips up before the 1hr triggered. Great stuff.

One question if I may?
I have set up different magic No's for the different instances of the ea that I have running. If I go to manually close the basket, the message box appears with
"do you want to close all trades?" If I hit OK will it only close the trades for that particular basket ? or will it CLOSE ALL TRADES?

The reason I ask is that when I first installed the EA and got it running, a couple of different boxes appeared and I am not sure exactly what happened, I didn't think it would interfere with any current trades. But it closed all trades.

Thanks again, the EA is great.

Paul.

The EA on my chart has not triggered short buy yet because I set the rules to follow HAS direction which is still in blue I am itchy to open short manually hahaha.. Anyway, I think it will not be long for the HAS to change color to Red. I am letting the EA to open trades.

alright now i understand a bit.. if the HAS turn color and other indicator match the cases that would be a good buy/sell...

is basket trading applies the saying patience is virtue?

It really depends on how you set Entry 0. In my setup, I set the followings for Entry 0:

UseEntry0=True
UseHAScross=False
UseHASdirection=True
UseIXO1cross=True
UseIXO1direction=True
UseIXO2cross=0

These mean EA only trade when IXO1 crossed, HAS and IXO1 are in the same direction.

Could it be made so that the EA takes the trade instantly (on bar open) when HAS changes color? Currently it takes the trade 1 bar later. Here is the picture. The lower arrow shows where the trade was entered and the circle where it should have been entered.

The setup is correct because the first HAS change may repaint, so its always better to open the trade on 2nd color change.

Hey roomies...I have this EA set on the 15 min charts and it looks good on that chart. You can bank good pips if you have a set of pips take profit you seek. I take a chunk of pips and just wait for the next ride on the HAS. However, I can not get the EA to trade when the direction of the HAS changes on the 15 min. I know this is an one hour EA but like the 15min. Can someone tell me the inputs to just trade the HAS on the Entry 0. Great EA, great job Selllar on V5. If the EA would have traded on the HAS going down earlier today, I would have banked 800pips...nice....

I have uploaded my set file on this strategy...Thanks for any help.

Don't change any parameters from your screen shots...and post your .set files for both setups. One of us will figure it out.

As long as you use a different Magic Number for each trade you should be OK.

Yes it can, but the problem with that is you may get a lot of false signals and the EA will jump in and out of trades, that is why I wait till the signal bar closes and the signal is then confirmed.
