@Seller9, I had another trade which failed to exit on the HAS/IXO combo - this was a system trade (not manual) - picture attached showing the change in colour / direction of both the HAS and the IXO and the trade remained open (and failed to take a trade in the opposite direction). Also please see the exit settings in the EA in the next picture (poor quality - taken by mobile phone) So now I have created 2 problems - I have to close the trade manually AND I have to manually open a long basket knowing that my exits will not work because it is a manual...
The setting you are using looks for the direction of the HAS, which is OK, but the cross of the IXO1 had already happened so was no longer valid as it is only active for 1 candle. If the IXO1 cross would have happened after the HAS change color or at the same time it would have closed the trade.

Crosses of HAS or IXOs, (Change color), are only present for one candle.

Direction of HAS or IXOs, (Just color), will stay until color changes.

Thanks, but although the destination folder is correct, but the problem still there. Now, the main problem is the offline chart i created by using the text file such as"JPY7""USD7" are working well, but the offline chart i created by using the text files such as "SellS""BuyS" are not working at all, the chart just whole black.

Open up your History folder and look for the black chart you are trying to view and copy it and post the file and maybe I can see if it is OK or not.

Here is one of my offline charts, I don't know if it will work for you, but put it in your history folder and see if it will open for you, I don't have any suffix.

It looks like I can get back to the SD EA and do some experimenting with it this week. So far it is just a bare bones setup but I will add things as I see what is needed.
Right now it is using 7 different time frame SD zones created by II_SupDem indicator as can be seen listed in the display and is designed just for the M30 offline chart for now until I get the nuts and bolts of it working, I don't want to be jumping around on different time frames until we get it working on the M30.
It does require 7 offline charts to be created because I am using 7 different II_SupDem settings.
I put all 7 II_SupDem indicators on the M5 offline chart to keep from cluttering up the M30, where the EA is placed.
The EA draws the 7 SupDem Buy/Sell lines on the M30 chart.

The first screen shot is a short trade that kicked off a little bit ago and the next 2 shots show how it has progressed.
The lines on the chart are the zones, I am showing just the Buy Line and Sell Line, not the entire area of the zone.
The solid zone you see on the chart, Red in the first and Yellow in the other 2 is the zone where the EA looks for confluence of 2 SD zones. The user can select how many zones he wants to be in confluence from 1 to 7 and the size of the EA capture zone. The capture zone is red in the first image because there are at least 2 Sell lines within the capture zone of the EA, in this case there are 3 as shown by the dispaly, M5, M15, H1 Supply Zones (short signal). At this time I am not using any other filters such as RR, curve, etc. Once you get a confluence signal the EA than looks for a trade signal from a couple other PA candle filters.

In the next 2 images the SD zones have changed and the capture zone has changed to Yellow, Yellow means it will not take a trade because we have 4 Supply Zones, M5,M15,M30,H1 and 2 Demand Zones, M15,M30, all in the same Captrue Zone, the SD zones are too close to each other for a good trade.

If we only had 2 or more Demand Zones in the capture area the capture area would change to Green, showing a possible long trade if a couple other conditions are met.

As I said the number of SD Zones in confluence can be changed in the settings from 1 to 7 and the size of the capture zone can also be changed in the settings.

This is just a very basic setup at this time with additions to come as I see how it works out.

@Seller9
What settings do I need to set to true in order to fire an exit only when BOTH the HAS / IXO1 are the same colour, regardless of which one crosses first?
Thanks for your assistance.

That combination is not available in version 11, so I added them and they are now available in version 12 which I posted on page 1 in the zip file, try it and let me know if they work the way you want them to.

That is the only change to version 12.

I added the last 2, set them to true and the rest to false.

UseIXO1_D_AsExit = false;
UseIXO1_X_AsExit = false;
UseIXO2_D_AsExit = false;
UseIXO2_X_AsExit = false;
UseHAS_D_AsExit = false;
UseHAS_X_AsExit = false;
UseHASIXO1_DX_AsExit = false;
UseHASIXO2_DX_AsExit = false;
UseHASIXO1_DD_AsExit = true;
UseHASIXO2_DD_AsExit = true;

Hi Genius9,

The chart looks interesting and I'm keen to look forward for your master piece.
I'm suggesting you to open another article for SD EA to avoid confusion with Basket trading ea discussion room, just my 2 cents.
By the way, where can I look for the info related to II_SupDem indicator, I'm think all of us must have the knowledge of how this indicator works in order to use your great SD EA.

Thanks in advance.

Strategies with which I am unfamiliar are tested in a demo account. Those trades, such as the above (#1,757) in which I have confidence, are taken in a live account.
