just Hi to seller9 and all of you,

since a few days I'm reading this thread,
seller9 impressive, it looks very promising.

I set up this due to docx-file and works fine, one strange think that happened me... if I tried to run it in xtb broker - off-line chart is "waiting for update" all the time
so I used 2nd one fxpro, starts w/o any problems.
if somebody know why, let me know just for my knowledge.

Heads Up, just for your information before you start asking questions:
The Robot opened this 14 pair trade a bit ago and I wanted to show you what the alert window may show, this does not mean there is a problem unless it takes too many tries to get your trades through to the Broker. This is something I added so we have some idea as to how long it is taking to get a complete basket trade through.

The first thing is to always check your history for the pairs you want to trade and make sure you have as much as the Broker will give you.

I would like to get some input from all you traders on the following.

As you know, when trading the 14 pair basket some like to reverse a couple of the pairs, thats fine if it makes more pips.

The problem I have with that is the offline chart does not reflect those 2 pairs being reversed and if you are using the chart to manage your trade you could get stopped out even though the basket is gaining ground when looking at money value.

Are you looking at the money value to base your exits on as the chart is bogus?

{quote} Yes The other settings you posted are OK, just change these 2 settings and it will open and close on a change of HAS direction.
Thanks seller9. I obviously misinterpreted your .doc

BTW...GREAT job on the additions in version6! I'm finding the additions very useful for manual entries, additional positions, and exits. You've put together a wonderful EA. All anybody has to do is some homework, and forward testing to fine tune the indi settings to suit their needs.

Thank-you very much.

Seller9,

In EA, there is one info showing like 'Sp(8/45) :14', what does it means for and the meaning of 3 numbers ?
tks.

Seller9,

Thanks for this great EA, it will be great if you consider adding notification function in next version,
so that we can receive notification via smartphone when a transaction is opened and closed.

Thanks in advanced

Great approach.
I was trying to follow the "still basketing" thread but could get thru and find all the files in a cosinstant way. Here is much easier.

So far i used the ea to close a manually opened short basket. Is there a chance you could allow the ea to manage multiple (i.e recovery, lvl2, lvl3) trades?

Now, i just set up an other chart with different magic number and sent my recovery from there (got a long fired automatically during the night)

For those getting "WAITING FOR UPDATE" screens...It happened to me a couple of times and what corrected each time was shutting down the platform and reopening it. It allows the platform to re-load your brokers history.

seller9 I don't/won't use the ReversePair option. What I have been doing is selecting one of three pairs to reverse manually.

Additionally...Here is a pair correlation calculator that allows you define its periods. I found it useful to select the best reversal pairs for the basket. Some may find it useful especially those customizing their baskets.

It takes some practice and a very good knowledge of S/R and major PP's. It has been mentioned many times that this is not a system for those new to trading. I do hope you're practicing on a demo account.

I'm not a big advocate of back testing, but it is useful to get one close to indi settings they wish to use. Take a GJ chart of your desired TF, an it will be a fairly accurate representation of the BT14 or Core5 with all the history you could want. Use it to fine tune your indi's. It will be good start.

I ask that you remember one thing...YOU have made a choice to allow a robot to trade for you. YOU have told it when to open and close a trade. I trust YOU have given the robot the parameters when to do this based on YOUR own due diligence. The robot cannot see major S/R, PP's, or the Red GBP news you traded into on your second trade loss...only YOU can...

I hope you have read between the lines...

seller9 has (what I believe) given us a great EA. But...just like driving the Ferrari...YOU have t know when to"let her go"! With the numerous entry and exit options seller9 has built into this EA, you should know exactly when the EA will open and close a trade based on your set parameters.

IMHO,I would stop the EA 30min before Red news. "IF" the market proceeds in the direction the EA was going, open the basket manually, turn the EA back on, and let it manage the close.

Just my thoughts...

Control EA before and after red news, and watch S/R

Yes I am actually watching the money value to base exits on and I have a time based chart open of the 2 reversal pairs to check for S/R area. This is the only real way I see to exit at this time.
