{quote} Thx, i took a other broker, and now i had M15, will see if a new installation will solve this problem, since i dont want to switch brokers.
Great to hear.
At least you know it's not the indi, EA, or anything you did or didn't do.

A fresh install will often help. Hoping it works out with your current broker.

{quote} Hi eagle, I also manually open a basket, but the trade wont be closed by the robot even though i put UseRobotToClose= True, What other settings have u made to let the robot help u close your trade? And what you mean " Trade close by robot" is it the HSL/HTP line that you used Ctrl + 6/7 to set? Regards, XT
Yes, "Trade closed by robot" means that the Ctrl 6 and Ctrl 7 HSL and HTP lines are active and manually adjusted during the trade according to price action.

Look at the properties of the EA, it allows you to reverse 2 pairs.

.....he/she asks about offline chart pairs can be reversed AS SAME AS WITH EA (BT_14) so he/she noticed that he/she can reverse them with EA and now he/she wants to figured out (myself&other wonder the same) how to plot them on offline chart I guess.

@stefi - I guess thats an obstacle at this point.

Understand.

Thus far there is no way to implement reversals into the offline charts...maybe seller9 or another coder can look at the possibility.

i have to close and reopen mt4. is this normal? sorry for my english :-)

Here's today's action on my newly installed EA setup (Many problems with MT4 & Win8.1 - Install to root of the hard drive to fix!)

Sold #CORE5# basket (15 min. chart) at 2200 GMT 15/01/2014
Initial stop loss & take profit = 75 pips/pair.
Autotrade.
Comments: None

Trade closed at 17:54 GMT. 16/01/2014
Gross P/L = +242 pips live.
Trade closed by robot.
Comments: TP and SL moved to nearest S&D after entry. SL moved in tight at 16:30 after i came back from work as it looked like it had reached a bottom.

EA also took a trade on the 1Hr chart which closed in profit.

Seller9 - Is it possible to change the way basket create V2 adds the pair suffix and number of pairs to the name of the offline chart. On my XM micro account the following is added "05micro" not leaving many characters for the name. I currently name the charts with a simple number and label the chart so i can be sure which one it is, however MT4 for some reason deletes my label once if i go into the EA settings. Thanks for the great EA.

Steve.

Nice to see evryone playing around with the EAs and other stuff, I have been busy so have been unable to read the forum but have just gone through what I missed. I am going to try and post the next version of the Strength/Correlation EA this weekend, version 8. In this next version the SC calculations are done in the EA so no external indicators will be needed. It will use the same calculations as in the previous indicator and I have also added a monthly strength column. Here are a few quick answers to some questions I saw.

1) The SC EA updates the Dash Board every 5 minutes to save on CPU usage.
2) The BuyS, SellS, BuyC, and SellC text files are also updated every 5 minutes when the Dash Board updates. If you already have an offline chart created and the new basket is different when updated, it will not update the offline chart as you have to load the new text file into the basket create indy and create a new offline chart yourself, the SC DB does not create offline charts, only lists (text files) of pairs to use.. You can use the same name and the new offline chart will be created over the top of the old one with the same name. Don't create a new offline chart of the same name if you already have the BT_14 EA running on the previous one with the same name, the chart can get strange and cause a trade to close or open when you don't want it to.
3) I posted a Basketv8 indy a few posts back that uses the same logic as most of the other basket creators, I don't have time to try and make one that reverses pairs at this time, if someone wants to give it a shot, go for it.
4) The Magic number can have as many numbers as you want, there may be a Broker limit, but I am not aware of it, maybe someone else is.
5) The reason for installing your MT4 platform under the C or root drive in a different folder other than the Programs Folder is to prevent the problems of reading and writing to the files folder and other issues do to security of the Programs Folder.
6) Also, at times I have run into situations where I can not explain or find a reason for something that is happening with an EA or Indy and reinstalling the MT4 platform fixes the problem.

Also, many thanks to Baluda for the fine CSS indy that I am using in the version 7 and 8 SC Dash Board.

I have decided not to create a new video for the new SC EA version 8 due out this weekend because they are almost the same. Below is a screen shot that shows what it looks like, the top image, the bottom one is for comparison with the indy calculations it uses, the only difference is the DB EA has the decimal point moved one place to the right. As you can see the numbers for the H1 time frame match fairly close, it just depends on when the EA and the indy did the calculation, the EA does it every 5 minutes.

You do not have to have the indy in the indicators folder as the EA does all calculations itself, no indicators required.

Hi eagle,
What makes you decide to open a trade every time? As I saw your chart there was no IXAO below there right? So did you make any technical analysis or use any indicators to confirm the timing to open a trade?

I am puzzled by your question. All posted trades, including the latest (#1,678), contain a "Comments" section stating the reason for entering. The last few trades involved the I-XO-A-H indicator, clearly shown on the charts and mentioned in the "Comments" section of the post.

Seller9, hope there is a way to fix this :
The Pictures are both Sell5. My MT4 did not react, and then i had to reload everything. Sad thing is, MT4 loaded the new saved SellS5 chart.
Maby a option for turning off autosave would be nice ?

Good thing is, that it is only the chart, that looks different, trade is still on the wining side
Keep up that good work

The correlation basket may change every 5 minutes or it may not, so you can have many different correlation baskets in the files folder. If a new one has the same number of pairs, even if they are different pairs, it will over write the previous one that had the same number of pairs.
As you can see below I have many correlation baskets, just use the last one by time and date.
The Buy and Sell strength baskets will always be the size you selected in your settings and will also over write if the number of pairs is the same.
In the case below you would have a BuyC6 and SellC3 in your files folder from this time.

As you can see below I have many BUYC and SellC files as the Dash Board changed through the night, but I only have one of each BuyS and SellS as I did not change the settings for the strength basket.

BT_CS_v8 has been uploaded to the zip file in post #1, I also added some new info to the end of the previous version 7 video which you should look at. When I get time I will make a complete new video as v7 is different than v8.
