This is what I was saying earlier. Timing could be a real issue. The difference between our pairs can be the approximately 3 minutes between the BT_CS scan updates.

This may or may not be a huge issue. I'm trying to determine if creating Buy/Sell charts "shortly" into a session, has any value.

{quote} Did you create the text file first? If there is no text file to match up to, the name has nothing to associate with. On another note, if you stay with the naming convention that seller9 started, a BuyS15 would mean the strongest 15 pairs. Hope this helps. SD
At the pic you can see my Setup. BuyS5 is there, since the EA created this one.
I dont get it, what's wrong with the TF. If i set this to 60, the offline chart is ready to go.

{quote} You have to "allow import dll" when you attach the indicator "Basket_create_v2" and it will work
That's always on, thx

This is how i set it up:

Just found something weird...
I get every time i want to set up a chart outside the TF 60 some strange hyroglyphs, and date and time is far off.
Anybody had this before ?

Does it matter where the Basket is created ? I do this in the H1 chart, like Seller9 did in his video.

In the BT_CS EA, we can set to use different frame when calculating total currency strength, so when trading on different TF, should we assign different weight to different TF currency strength according to the TF we are using to trade(i.e. to give closer TF bigger weight value) ? how do you think?

Did you verify that in your Experts>Files you have a text file named #Buy5Sxx# ?

No...it does not matter what pair you use to create the chart...just follow seller9's suggestion of using a pair with high tick data.

There is something very wrong with your image showing the offline charts, not only your hieroglyphics, but the year is 2004. I suggest trying another broker and see if you experience any differences.

If I understand you correctly, it sounds like you're describing the previous version BT_CS_V6, where we can manipulate Strength and Correlation parameters. Are you suggesting having the same option for the EA?

There are only 3 indicators to attach to a the chart.

HAS
2 IXO's

It can't get much easier. Just think of the feeling of accomplishment when you attach them yourself :-)

Smokey and Goodwood pairs can be different and it depends on timing and how many timeframes (blue bar) you want to use. On a trading point of view SmokeyD, do your pairs show strength/correlation before the open or slightly into it? Just wondering because you could get a totally different basket once a market is opened

sorry for the confusion, English is not my native anyway, I am suggesting we could assign different weight to the currency pair strength value (m5, m15, m30, h1, h4, d1) listed by BT_CS_V7 (not v6) when adding them together to get the total currency pair strength value, if we want to trade on m15 offline chart, then we can assign higher weight value to m5, m15 and m30 TF), it is just my thought. that way we will need options in the EA to set weight for different TF.

I used as per seller9's hard coded "Strength Only" text files, which ignores correlation. The BuyS5 and SellS5.

It would be great if someone else took on the task of using pairs both correlated and strength.

May I first suggest...never apologize for your English when it is not your native language! I fall into the category of English only...so...your English is 100 times better than my (whichever your native language is)

Your suggestion of looking at giving the EA the same capabilities as the indi could be a good one. I think this could be validated by doing some testing with the BT_CS_V6 indi.

Create and open 2 charts at the same time and same TF"S. One configured with pairs from the indi, documenting strength and correlation values, and the second from the EA...just my thoughts.

When you create a basket with the Basket_Create V2 in the name of #SlowMoe#...there has to be an existing text file...first.

Hope this helps.

Please look at my post #1659. They were a BuyS5 and SellS5 opened at LO + 15M

Now look at them 3.5 hours later!! The pairs aren't even the same. There is something very strange here...

EDIT: The horizontal line represent where a trade would have been entered at LO +15m.
In my non-experienced coding experience...it almost looks like the open charts have been changing with the BT+CS_V7 updates.

Sorry, don't get it
Why do i have a #SellS5x# offline chart created, that works well in H1, when there is no #SellS5x# textfile ?
I though it takes the SellS5.txt and generates that #SellS5x# oflline chart from that. (What it does, but only in h1)

Open a demo account with another broker and see if you get the same results.
