hi, Toni, You loaded maybe a template? The EA settings are grey, because EA is not loaded. Move the EA t101 Basket traderv2.3 to the offline chart.
Yes, first I loaded a template. Then as it doesn't work I've tried to drag the EA directly to the offline chart but still doesn't work at all. Setting still in grey....
What colud be the problem? I don't know which way has to work the EA.

I can see new people struggling with setup and EA

If you care to listen, EA is not where to start. Understand the underlying principle behind BTS first
then start with H4 and when you have attained some level of discipline like others then you can think of Lower TF

as for me am comfortable with H4, and would only use H1 or M15 for re-entry. H4 is dull but its my best TF

if discipline is your area of weakness, then I beg you steer clear of BTS don't waste your time.
but if you insist on doing BTS then be ready to be very patient,
as for wether you will make pips, YES they will come like torrents.

It takes patience and determination to read julius' T101 thread and the indicator development thread, those 2 old threads are really long and thats why I put the links on the 1st page.

Now that you are here, open your eyes pick your indicator according to your personality [CCI, HAS, XO, ICHI, P.A. etc etc] then choose your TF and adapt the strategy to your taste and make pips.

@tnavi!

thanks for the vouch, its really appreciated.

I really like your spirit, the day I knew you use google translator for some of your postings
I imagined the huge task of trying to understand all these and the application.

Danjuma and people here that can help: I'm trying the EA T101_Basket Trader 2.3. in my MT4 platform but doesn't want to work.... It loads but no window appears, and I cannot manage it. Look the picture, I can't access to the EA setting. I have EA options setled just as Danjuma told me yesterday. {image} I apreciate your help. Don't know how to solve it. thank you basket traders!! toni
forexdaist, my observations below:

1. To change the settings for T101_Basket Trader EA, you have to remove it and then reload it and change the settings whilst being loaded. You can't change the settings whilst it is running. Saying that, you can change some settings whilst it's running but only through Tools > Global Variables. Read the pdf to find out more about this.

2. From your chart, I see you have an off-line chart for 14 pairs, but you have 'Number of Basket Pairs' as 5 on the T101_Basket EA.

3. You have 'Use Trade Logic Engine' set to yes, and you have 'TLEUsed' as TLE_HAS_KOS. So you are telling the EA to automatically trade based on TLE_HAS_KOS logic. So you have to ensure TLE_HAS_KOS indicator is in the indicator folder of your MT4.

Kos,
It was sad to most of us learning from you when you closed the H4 XO Basketting thread .
We all understands how you would have felt bad too taking that decision.
I refer to your post on that thread as pasted below
Will you be kind enough to share some of the ideas you intended then with us here?.
We all look forward to these ideas.
Thanks again for showing us stress free fx trading .Thanks




I thought I could share some ideas.

Like how to trade any of the basket types in the picture anytime.
with tools like this combined with an EA that would pick the right basket for you automatically
and only trade the right and ready to move pairs out of the basket pairs
and would leave out the pairs that are draging, thereby maximixing profit

if you look at the 14 pairs, you will see that selling all 14 would give you profit but if you sell the red pairs and buy the green pairs up, you will make more
take a look at the EUR basket and the USD basket, more profit less spread

but its too rough in here

Hi all Trade Gurus,
I have read the post from first but not finished yet. I have tried to learn myself. So far I learned I have set up my MT4 chart as follows :

1 Hour chart
Attached Image


15 Min chart

Attached Image


It shows in H1 chart that Trend is down.
So for I understand that I have to watch 15M chart for VQzz2 Red bar and Red HAS. Then I have to run TradeHedgeSellAll script.
Am I right?
I would appreciated any help to understand and learn this simple and profitable system.

Salute to Kosomolate for his kind sharing and effort helping people to make money.

Thanks and God bless you all.

Regards,
NIF

Hi Kos, first of all I wanna thank you for all your work and help, you really made the difference with this great thread.

I see what you say, and I think you are right. I want to trade high TFs (H1 or H4), I think I've got that patience you say it's needed.
If I'm asking to resolve problems with the EA is because I think it could be useful to have a way to manage the SL and BE. I don't want to be stare at the computer all day watching what price is doing... As we are not trading only one pair but a basket of pairs I think we have to be careful. What do you suggest me to control and manage SL?

One more thing if you don't mind. I've loaded the H4 template you share here and the IXO_AH doesn't look the same. Do yuo trade with 1530 box setting? Or you have diferent setting?


Thanks for you help!!

You are right. I confused myself.

Sorry Kos!! I've missed that it was a 5-core chart. Mine is 14 pairs.

Toni, v2.3 has new input value called:

extern int SizeBackGround = 230; // Size for background

You can set to 0 and it will go away. Its color is DimGray which is why you see it as you do. Not sure of its purpose, maybe for ease of viewing, but that should solve your problem for now.

I've been a lurker following Kos for long time but had gotten away from Basketting after taking new job almost year ago. But now seeing such great progress being made due to the obvious members, I am going see if I can make work this time.

Goddy,
get comfortable with this way of trading basket first, then may be in the future we can discuss that other way, its nothing too different, its just a way of maximizing profit and cutting down on spread.

Thank you Danjuma. Still doesn't work... I removed it and drag it again but don't let me access to the settings. I cannot change anything. I have the EA options marked as you said. I restart and still the same. Maybe I got a problem with scripts. I tried another and doesn't work at all.

Anyway, I really apreciate all your help.
