Seems like V13 got some real problems. I tried to open a short basket on a gbp5 basket, and although TP and SL are set correctly, it is closed instantly with "Trade closed by HSL" and "Trade close by HTP". Seems like those settings don't work properly. TP and SL were set for MasterTakeProfit and MasterStopLoss and for every entry as well. TP and SL are also placed in opposite direction, that seems to be the problem. I opened a second sell trade for that basket, and before hitting ok on the popup i changed tp and sl, and the trade stayed open.
That issue is fixed in V14 - it seems that some HTP and HSL remain in memory and are used again for the next trade.
Just be a little careful because the EA can loop unless you have 'takeonetradepercandle' set to true.

Sellers.
This seems to be a very good EA, there are so many different settings, and finding the best settings is a lengthy process, and the fact that so many here on this forum have been testing and developing this EA for so long that some traders here must have some very good Presets.
Would anyone be so kind as to help us late comers with settings that are profitable, this would be very helpful, and even if you could push us in the right direction.
Im assuming that using all the indicators for entry and exits would be our best approach, there are so many.
So please if some could help.

If I click Ctrl 7 and then No and again Ctrl 7 and Yes SL line coming up on Screen, BUT it supposed be Blue and moveable 30 seconds, but it pop up already red and it not moveable so what can be problem?
Sorry for the problems with this, I think I pointed you in the wrong direction when I mentioned BE, my brain must have been sleeping at the time.

If you have the version with the "Ctrl+Alt+F2" HTSL short cut keys then the sequence is a little different, I think I changed it and didn't change the version and the latest version 13 is what is on page 1, I changed the zip file to 14 but forgot the EA version.

1) If HTSL is already active then turn it off with "Ctrl+Alt+F2" and then move the HSL where you want it.
2) Then use "Ctrl+Alt+F2" to turn the HTSL back on.

It no longer turns Sky Blue and you have as long as you want to move it before you turn it back on.

Good Luck

Seeing no MT4 upgrade came out today I will do a video this afternoon on version 14 so I can get that posted along with the latest bug fixes.

I am doing testing today, going in and out of trades to see if I can get it to act up with the latest fixes.

430 pip trade closed . Tp hit. Slightly helped by manufacturing news. Was -650 pips before because I hadn't disabled ea; due to conflicting results from ix1 and Sr levels. Ohwell.

Short initiated on 1/29/2013. I have decided to simply trade of the GBP/JPY charts. Its my observation the core5 & 14 pair offline charts mimic the pair.

using DeMark trendlines on the daily, im gonna hold this trade until price reaches the red line on the daily and add to it on the upswings.

Robot was take a trade on Monday Short Basket. Robot automatically add SL line and then pop up break even line. Next day a trade made over $ 50.00 and then market turns and trade start loose a $ value. From $ 50 goes down $ 40, $ 30, $20 to break even line and it was close the trade.
Why? Robot not close automatically trade if trade loose $ 10 - $ 20 value? Why it goes to break even line?
Then Robot after closing a trade, takes automatically Long Basket trade. If a trade was close if lost value was $ 20 and then immitetely was take Long trade, then to break even line it has already $ 20 - $ 25 profit.
So, somehow Robot not close a trade on time.
I try to move SL line Ctrl+Alt+F2, but nothing happened. Works only Ctrl+7. I have Demo FXPro right now, Forex.com I was not able to put work .No SL line movement.
I remember about 20-25 years ago , when was only live trading desk and needed to call and tell an order. So , I call and put order. Next day I had over $ 2000.00 profit and my broker calls. We talk and I ask , maybe we close the trade, but he was think trade will make more money. He promises keep eye at trade and if needed will close it. Next morning trade was against me and I lost round $ 1000 .
So I cannot trust the broker, but I would like to trust the Robot.

Looks to me the robot did exactly as you told it to do - if you want it to close trades with more profit then you will need to activate the trailing stop, or set a profit target.
Have you read the whole thread re all the different entries / stops available in this EA?

Those exits require both the HAS & the IXO to be showing the same colour (direction) - look at your HAS - it is still red so neither of the exit conditions have been met that is why you remained in the trade until it hit breakeven.

My broker has updated to Build 600, Forex4you, and insta forex, and the Robot is loading and removing, and initialized over and over.
2014.02.05 00:37:01.205 Custom indicator I_XO_A_H #CHF7#07,H1: loaded successfully
2014.02.05 00:37:18.364 Custom indicator I_XO_A_H #JPY7#07,H1: removed
2014.02.05 00:37:38.127 Custom indicator Heiken_Ashi_Smoothed_ET #JPY7#07,H1: removed
2014.02.05 00:41:31.630 I_XO_A_H #C14#14,H1: initialized


This is in my Journal and Experts, it is on a loop, just keeps loading and then removing all the indicators , and very fast, just copied at random.

When I stop the Basket create v2, the loop stops.

Hope this helps.

Basket Create V2 does not work in the new release as far as I know, I haven't tried it yet, that's the reason for the errors.

Looks like the Robot did what it was told to do.

Your exits you had set were not hit.

Your BE was not hit either, remember, wicks don't count, only the body of the candle is used by the Robot.

Here is a trade that kicked off a few hours ago under Robot control, will see what happens.

Ignore the extra indicators on the chart, they are just a couple I am looking into.

Sorry for the delay on the version 14 update, it seems every time I start to do the video I come across some little changes that I need to make.
Looks like I am done with changes for now and it looks to be stable, so will get the video done today so I can release version 14.

Looks like Brokers are starting to push out Build 600, if you want to stay at Build 509 for now, select no to upgrade when asked.

Later today I will get a chance to check it out, if anyone has had a chance to see what works and what doesn't please post it.

I don't think the present Basket indicators will work.

If you have any .mq4 indicator, EA, or scripts the update will try to re-compile them and they may then stop working.
If you have only the .ex4 file of these it will leave them alone and they should continue to work with the update.

That is why I backed up and removed all the .mq4 files from the indicators, expert, and script folder just to be safe, (DVD), you can leave the .ex4 files as is.

My Build 509 accounts are still running fine but I have not restarted them yet, I will probably get to that this next weekend.

Good Luck
