what are your trailing stop settings, thanks. currently im running h1 14 pair with no trailing , letting baskets close out on ixo colour change, currently demo is up nicely, but i wonder if trailing would help lock in more profits

I had the same problem with the Long Trade ! I've tried the System First in semi automatic ! I use the Standard settings in the ea ! The only strange is that the ea in the menu Not yellow is he is grey ! I've read that this is when the Code is blocked but maybe it is wrong ! Maybe someone had an idea

For pass three weeks, I have been using this system on live account blindly but to my surprise all of my trade are in profit, I never lost any. Presently, my account is recording over 420pips positive. Yet I still want to know when to enter trade and when to exit. Please somebody some help me. Thanks.
kindly show us how you are doing it. then might be we can improve our ea.
best of luck,

Folks, any idea why the EA didnt took a long trade? {image} I was sure a new basket should be opened at current candle open - Entry 0 rules are: {image} {image} And now I'm completly confused Also - could anyone explain to me what are the cross rules entries? I coulnd find any info about that.
This is my understanding and what I've observed from Entry 1-4 trade.

For entry 0, you have to select a "direction" and a "cross" option set to true for EA to work.

Your pic show both "HAS" and "IXO1" are "direction". You need to select a "cross" option set to true to work.

"cross" is the trigger for an entry.
The trend is your friend, until it isn't....

@seller

i have been trying a different basket method using the basketv indicator to generate offline charts and also get waiting for update when certain pairs are excluded from a basket

in the aud and nzd baskets, the offline chart will not load if one of the gbp pairs is not there. there are two other pairs that, when included, will load the offline chart, but not if just one of those two pairs are added. i forget the pairs now

also, the chf basket will not load if gbpchf is not present

please download history. press F2 to do it.
and after you creat your offline chart please close your mt4 and restart it again.

The cross rule is when the indy changes from one color to the other color and the signal is only good for 1 candle after the close of the signal candle.

blazko was only using entry #0, which has a bug, so he missed the trade, you got in on Entry #2 which works OK.

Here is a script you can try to download history.

1) Put it in your script folder
2) Open a chart of any pair
3) Open the experts tab at the bottom of the chart
4) Drag the script to your open chart
5) Wait, it may take some time to complete, watch the experts tab to see what it is doing, it may look like it isn't working, but just wait for it to finish.

Is anyone using the strength numbers, I may just remove them from the next version of the EA if they are not of any help?

I for one think that they are well worth keeping

I have one recommendation; Can you make any NEW entries into a selected by strength or correlation column flash or make obvious that they are new

Forex is about timing, better to back new (trends) rather than prehapes spend forces

That explains a lot
How about push notifications when a trade is opened or closed for the next version? That would be really great.

Sorry, Yes I was talking about the Indi. I presumed that this may be a useful for the EA eventually but the point is the same ...........try to highlight if NEW to the the selection

I would use them if they could automate my offline charts accordingly.
Now i stick to the standard 5pairs basket

PS. thanks for the reply on my missed entry. Its all clear now. Today I reverted to T101 basket trader with a 2XO_HAS2 TLE and got some trades. When they close, will try your EA with adjusted settings.
