Quoting Absurdum
{quote} Yes i am.
I downloaded a demo from Excel and saw the differences in the file structure between build 509 and 574, I haven't had a chance to dig into it yet so I hope someone else can shed some light on the subject.

I thought everything was backward compatable, although I did see something to do with maybe offline charts are not.
No hard facts, I hope someone else can shed some light on the subject.

I thought 574 was still in beta testing.

{quote} Thanks I am still looking for a good automatic exit that doesn't leave a lot of pips on the table but doesn't kick me out of a good trade. I am still watching that same trade after it closed when it hit the TP and it has retraced about 225 pips so far. I want to see if both IXOs 1060 and 1560 being the same color would work, so far 1060 is green but 1560 is still red, so 225 pips gone using that combo. Will do some more testing, entry with HAS 2-8-2-2 seems to be OK.

SD EA testing is moving along slowly, below is a trade it took a while ago and did manage a profit.
One of the problems is when you look at a past chart it looks great and the SD zones look great and entries are obvious. But when you look at it in real time the SD zones are late and by the time they form and show you a possible entry the PA is far away.
Also, as can be seen on the charts, the SD zones are close to each other, not giving much room to move for profit.

Right now the Robot just looks for 2 zones to be in confluence to look for a trade and then it also looks at a minimum RR of 2.
In the example trade below the M5 and H4 supply zones were in confluence and the nearest demand zone M5 gave it just enough room to move.

The offline chart is the Core 5 basket, maybe a better choice of baskets would help and give you a smoother trend line to follow with less noise, or moving to a higher time frame or just stick to a single II_SupDem indicator as shown in the third screen shot.

Hello,
I have been reading through most of this thread and have just started to install. I have been using metatrader 4 about six years (demo) with the HA alert. I'm ready to try something different. I installed all the updated files from post #1. I know I have them in the right files in the MT4. The problem is all the icons for these files when shown in the navagator are grey, while the others are yellow. I tried to load a basket and it did not load. The basket did not even show up in the offline list when I opened the "open offline chart". Thank you for anyone who could give me some giudence. I did read and viewed all the youtube vidieos. I'm pretty sure I understand the setup and concepts to this system, just got to get the files to work. Thanks

Yes - I am using HAS 2-8-2-2 as well on the 1H.
I am using 800 IXO1 and 1060 for IXO2 on both the 1H & 4H (for the C5) - they can be used for confirmation although they are both still showing red - looks like a retracement before the downtrend resumes.

No, I am still using MT4 build 509.

Did you first add the Basket_Create_v2 indicator to an online 1 minute chart set up according to instructions in the relevant video?

Thank you for your responce. No I did not see that in the video (post #1). I'll go back and look again. I know this EA has evolved since last July. Do you or anyone have a current instruction file? Why are all my file icons (ones down loaded from this thread) grey and the rest yellow? I have downloded other files (indicators) in the past with no problem. Thank for your help.

Closed 390 pip trade. Exits needs to be developed a bit more to stop losing pips once price retraces. Overall good work seller

This is the zip file that I downloaded from post#1, BT_14nb_x.zip. Is this the most current? It seems as though there is a difference in the set up process between updated versions. As a new person with ths EA, today, what files do I use and what process? Thank you for the help.

Check your Basket_Create_v2 settings in the Common tab of the online chart.

Eagle85, I started all over again and I did check Allow DLL imports. I opened it in the M1 USD/JPY online chart and when I went to grab and open in offline it was not there. ????

Here is an example illustrating proper setup for the Inputs tab of the online chart.

Hi guys,

about the settings of the IXO, is it the higher the timeframe, the larger the box size of the IXO? Because i realized that the large box size IXO such as 1050 is not suitable with the M30 time frame.
Edit: Is there any good suggestion for me to set the IXO box size for M30? I am trying 500 and 800 now.

Regards,
XT

Anyone using MT4 build 574 ??????????

As I posted earlier I downloaded a different vendor to see what the deal was with the black offline chart.

I did not know it was Build 574 at the time, my other demos are Build 509.

Wellllllllllll, to my surprise when I did a restart on one of my demo accounts I found out that new download had changed all my other MT4 platforms to Build 574 and now they were all broken, no offline charts worked, what a mess.

Easy way out I just did a restore point restore to a previous day and lucky for me everything went back to Build 509 and they are now working again.

Is anyone up to speed as to what is going on with this new Build 574, it sure is throwing a wrench into the works ????

You just have to eye ball it and look at the chart and "Curve Fit" IXO to it. It will change from time frame to time frame and number and pairs used, and also over time, this setting is not set in stone.

They are Gray because you only have the .ex4 file, if you also had the .mq4 file they would be yellow. All you need is the .ex4, when you start writing your own EAs and indicators you will then create the .mq4 files as you write the code and once you compile the code you get the .ex4 file.

You don't need the .mq4 files to run anything, unless you want to sell it on EBay.
