Still Basketting

FOR MQL DEVELOPERS: DO NOT USE EVENTS FROM TIMERS TO WRITE SOMETHING TO FILE

I lost few day with this bug in metatrader. I do not uderstand why but it seems that there is some bad memory access in case you are writing data in thread from timer event. It is OK from beginning but after some time it will write different values into file than you give as parameter into FileWrite function. Interesting ... They needs employ more testers (seems they think that one tester is enough).
I will commit changes to SBaket indicator today or tomorrow.

the fact is that vamtop and me, we dont trade basket baset on ixo indicator..not any more..we work with price action, sr,supply/diamond, and chanel..

I like also VSA with basket trading. If anybody interested, read http://vsa.pipbuilders.com/mtmv3.pdf or http://forums.babypips.com/candlesti...petefader.html

too bad my platform MT (build 610) FxPro doesn't make some popular & good indicators available anymore


I miss XO Signal,I had to replace it with an old fashioned Basket tool but it's not so good







and more

I can't build C5 charts using Basket V6 core 5 shared by kos on H4 closed thread
I've tried many tricks(changing Broker,rewriting code,uninstalling & reinstalling,copying ex4 from an old platform,dancing with my rabbit and so on) but nope,
many good indicators are broken now
and I had to build my offline chart with Basketv6 old version,Basket v8 doesn't work for me on Alpari and FxPro
what a mess


I know great coders here are workin' on the issue

thx

have you tried seller9's basket create indicator?

I guess you forgot to post the link to your new thread here?Anyways, for whatever it may be worth, I believe you have done the RIGHT thing - this will help de-congest this thread and allow those interested in Basketting via the use of PA FOCUS on it.Well done.Regards,Ty

Ty, u have gone on holiday for a while. Hope there is no problem? I missed ur insight into BTS. Do u use another style to trade BTS now?
Share, big bros! Thanks!

Ooooops! My bad.

I visited the link but thought I was viewing a previous post on this thread.

Well done again IgumzFx.

Ty

Nope. Am still faithful to my style of basket trading which I have depicted here on numerous occasions.

I only decided to take a "back seat" and listen more to others - PLENTY people here with a lot of wisdom sir.

Regards,

Ty

I just changed to kos method, see what we all would have made ... over 2k pips.
Market is now out of ranging zone. Happy pipsss thr kos.

Hey basketeers,

First of all many thanks to Kos and T101 for developing and sharing this awesome system and for all members contributing to improving it.

Let me introduce myself, I have been trading FX for over five years and been on FF for over four years, in that time I have tried and tested 20+ systems and concluded that Still Basketing is by far the best one, at least for daytrading and swingtrading aiming at harvesting plenty of pips rather than scalping.

Some of you may have noticed me lurking in the thread (yeah I'm great at lurking) but this is my first post here. In fact I very rarely post at all because I focus my time on trading and tweaking my strategy, I hardly ever need to ask questions and I only care to post when I'm convinced that I can contribute with something which will be truly valuable to other members, someone might say that I'm the opposite of Opemipo . After over one year of lurking and learning to basket trade effectively I have found some ways to improve the profitability, mainly by reducing false signals, by adjusting the settings and adding one or a few simple indicators.

No, I do not intend to clutter up the thread with a bunch of new indicators and change the current main strategy of the majority of members here, these are simply filters to enhance our view of the market. All of them do not need to be applied, each one of them are useful on their own. If you don't like them simply scroll down to the next post. If a discussion arise originating from this post and deviates too much from the topic I will leave up to Kos to ask people to quit it or take it elsewhere, after all it's his thread.

My main goal of combining the below indicators has been to filter out as many of the false or late entries as possible occasionally signaled by the IXOAH. Number of entries will be fewer, including a few trades that would have been profitable but accuracy will be higher which with the proper money management will generate higher returns.

HAS. The Heiken Ashi Smoothed has a number of ways it can be applied, in this thread it has mostly been applied with slow settings, initially in a lower time frame. My experience is that it is more often appplied with fast settings which makes it more effective, to my liking at a somewhat higher timeframe. This does not make a huge differecne however on H4 (3,6,3,3) and H1 it becomes very useful when used together with...

HA T3-1. Heiken Ahsi Moving Average T3-1, as far as I know this is not very different from a regular Heiken Ashi but I use this one because the color of the candles can easily be set and it also has an alert for when a color close in the other color of the previous one. When both HA T3-1 turns blue and HAS turns green on H4 we often get a nice buy signal and when both turn yellow and red a nice sell signal given that the market is trending and we follow the trend. How do we know if the follow the trend...

The Coral. A well tested tool to determine the trend and a key component in the THV system, set at 10 on H4 it saves us from some false entries since we only buy when price is above the coral and it's green and only sell when price is below the coral and it's red. So the coral shows us the direction of the trend, but how do we know if we have a trend of the price is ranging...

T_o_R. Trend or Range indicator based on ADX (Average Directional Index) but displayed in another way showing the H4 and M30 strength of trend and direction, if the numbers are too low the market is ranging and we should stay out. With the 600 build H4 ADX value is only displayed on the H4 chart and same thing with M30 previously the two were displayed on any time frame.

Of course we still use IXOAH for entries, re-entries and exits but the above indicators helps us to determine if the IXOAH give us a strong signal or one which may reverse soon. On the screenshot we see some recent examples.

Indicators and templates attached for anyone who want to try.

The vertical black lines on the below screenshot marks where these indicators filtered out false or soon to reverse entries signaled by the IXOAH (1020 for upper one and 2120 for bottom one), broker time GMT +2.
