BT_14_v10nb Sorry for the problems with version 10, please don't use it until I get it fixed. I started working on it but then the markets closed so I can't open and close any trades until the market reopens. It seems some gremlins snuck in while I wasn't watching.
Hello seller,

just my idea with born during practise: if possible, the e-mail message alarm would include information about BT name (or comment).

happy New Year for you seller
...and all of you.

see you next year

I am in the process of making some YouTube videos that should help explain better how to create offline charts and how to use the EAs. This will probably take me about a week or so to get this up and running.

The next version 11 of the EA will also be out at that time so the videos will help explain some of the changes and fixes that are in it.

I am also working on the SD EA, but that is in line behind these other things at this time.
I am also working on the new strength indicator that will show 7 different time periods all on one screen and am looking for ideas on how to select a basket to trade using from 1 to 7 of the different time periods of strength.

This all takes time, so hang in there.

seller9,you are doing a great job:-)
Totally agree with you bazze!

@seller9
Just thinking out loud - we enter trades only when both HAS and IXO1 are in agreement, however we can exit trades when either one of them reverses.
Is it possible to set the EA to only exit a trade when both HAS and IXO1 are in agreement?

Just looking at my charts and I see that when only one of the indicators reverses, the trend generally continues so rather than be exited and have to re-enter incurring more costs, I would only like to exit when both indicators are in agreement.

Entry0 and Entry1 are exact the entries you are looking for.

Realise that - that was my point - I was looking at the exits being the same as the entries

Hello, Loving the EA and setup, have a problem with BT_CS_v6 i can't get it to display any information. I am running on an XM micro account, is it possible to add the prefix option? Tried it on both an online and offline chart and changed the pairs to show micro at the end but still no display, all zeros.

Steve.

Thats easy to add and I will put it in the next version due out in about a week.

ExitOnIXOHAS = true

I am doing a lot of testing over the next week making sure version 11 works the way it should, there has been a few additions but some changes made to the SL and TP, so I just want to make sure they work before I release it.

I am also making some videos to explain how things get set up, (MT4, Offline Charts, Baskets, EAs etc) and how they work, its hard to explain in a PDF and works better if put into a video, so I hope everyone can hang in there, should be about a week.

Good Luck

Nice trade, nice to see traders making pips.

I have one request for you and others who do manual trades, since the EA didn't take the trade I can't tell from your chart the reason for the entry, if you could just say what the reason for the entry was.

Good Luck

Also for those who just post pips made it would be nice if you would post the chart of the trade so the rest of us can see and learn.

If you hit your margin in your account, you will get that error. There may be more if this is not the case for you.

Just a thought!!
