Hi Mikeimas. Here is the zip file that I said I'll send you. I could not think of any other way to get it to you. Just rename them to whatever time frame you want in minutes and place them into your files folder inside the MQL folder of your metatrader and should be good to go {file}
Thanks FXprobe
I will give it a try and post result as I get them
Look to the LEFT of your CHART.....

not bad trading last night. i did a manual, and a breakout trade. however, after it took that breakout trade it failed to take the next setup after that. hmm weird. anyway, it was a good trade for me. not only that but one of my trades had a TP set. i never set a take profit.. that's weird too

hi seller,

would it be possible to add a stop loss/break even/trailing functionality similar to t101? instead of pips per pair it uses dollar values for the whole basket?

also, i am having trouble with the buttons. sometimes i have to click 20-30 times to get it to activate

also notice that when the bts ea is removed it leaves behind all of the buttons/objects etc

one more thing, if i choose to only take longs or shorts in the settings, is there something that can visually represent this in the display? like market read in t101?

You should always stop the robot before removing it or shutting down MT4 or unpredictable results can happen, like the objects not being removed from the screen. Also, as I said in the video, don't open the EA settings pop up until you have stopped the robot.

I am having no problems with the buttons, they are part of the new build and I don't have any control over how they respond.
I have had as many as 8 baskets running with the EA on each chart all on the same Broker without any problems or slow down of the computer.

my computer is not very fast, but there is a considerable amount of lag compared to the t101, as in the mouse moves slower and sporadic and other things slow down also. strange thing is in task manager it uses no more memory than T101. speaking of which the !TLE_2XO_B6 inside T101 now opens a buy basket without the according !TLE signal, it just opens a buy immediately when i set market read to long,range or ctlong : / i don't know why it started doing this but it happens now no matter what install or which broker or even if i use the original files

do you think you can add the dollar value stop loss/break even/trailing functions of T101 to this? if T101 stops working i would like to use this ea

Here are some of the changes that will be in the next version 18.

1) I changed the BO button back to where it was in a previous version so it will only work on a chart that has no live active trade in progress.
2) Added an alert that tells you when you are loading a pair that is not in your watch list so the robot doesn't keep trying to open an invalid trade.
3) Added another exit option, when the candle closes above or below the HAS for a short or long trade the trade will close. This may work nice when in a long trend and the PA stays above or below the HAS.
4) Added a lot too small warning for those trying to trade a lot of .01 when the Broker only allows .1 as the smallest lot.
5) When using the EA on a single pair as some of you are doing, you will no longer need to create a text file for the single pair, the EA will see that you have placed it on a single pair chart (not an offline chart) and use that symbol.
6) Moved the Link enables from the misc. section to there respective sections in the settings, making them quicker to change.
7) I have also added a small button next to each Long and Short buttons to turn GO long or Go Short on or off without having to go back into the properties.

With the settings you were using the IXO1 and IXO2 crosses were confirmed at the same time but there was no confirmed HAS direction at that same time, the HAS was not confirmed "Blue" when the IXO1 and IXO2 were. When HAS became confirmed on the next candle the IXO1 and IXO2 signals were gone, they are only present for one candle, crosses are only active signals for 1 candle only.

That "Blue" HAS you have circled is not confirmed until the candle closes, when the candle closes and then it is confirmed the signals from the IXO crosses are no longer valid as they are on the 3rd candle by then, which is not a confirming candle, the confirming candle was the 2nd IXO candle, once that candle closed the signal was no longer valid. A confirmed cross signal is only valid for 1 candle.

The indicator does not show a confirmed cross, it is correct at this point in what it is showing, no crosses are confirmed, only direction.

If you had enabled Entry 1 you would have entered into that trade with the HAS X and IXO direction.

So, I take it your taking the Pend Orders out? I am having tremendous success with this? Why would you take that out? Or unless something else is happening that the button is screwing up the EA, if that is whats going on, i understand..Just wondering?

Good morning to everyone or is it good evening can never keep up with world clock.
Seller9I would like to ask if you could consider that in the next version or some where down the line looking at the possibility of giving the expert the ability to make user defined number of trades in single pair chart rather than single trade in several pairs as it does when trading a basket.(maybe ability to switch form basket to single) with each trade having its own separate profit target and stop.

Thank you.

No, No. The pending order stays just like it is, the change will be that you can't add it to a live trade only to the chart when there is no live trade active on the chart, that won't change anything as even though you can add it now to an active trade it does not work when the present open trade is closed as all chart lines are removed and you will then need to put the pending order back on the chart, just like now.

I see no reason to have a pending order when a trade is already in process, its only used to open a trade, not as a continuation of the same trade.

Like I said before, the robot only can do one trade at a time, so you can't place a pending order on an active trade and expect the robot to take it when the first trade closes, it doesn't work that way now.

You can place a pending order on a chart with no trade and when hit the robot will take it and when closed the robot will wait for the next trade depending on the entries you have selected. If you want to do another pending order you have to place it on the chart again.

Nothing has changed in the way it works.

How are you using it now ???

In order for the trade you showed to have been taken you would have had to have Entry 2 = true.
