I have set up all the baskets in the zip file on the M15 and have adjusted the settings a little different for each and will see what happens this week.
All with no TP and using the HAS exit, I am just going to let the robot run 24/7 and see what happens, no manual intervention.
Will see the results at the end of the week and then maybe tweak the settings.
Will need to determine the best settings and also even the best days to trade each basket.

Sorry, I forgot that

Entry 2 and Entry 3 for the entries with only the HAS as the exit, I will just let it run until it gets taken out by the HAS.

Here is a screen shot of the JPY7 basket M15 with version 20 which has not been posted yet, version 19 is the same, the only difference is the HASX button on version 20 so you can turn the HAS exit on or off from the buttons, in version 19 you do it in the EA properties, other than that they are the same.

i understand completely what you are doing now.. i took out my entry #4 because it lost a nice amount of pips. so now it's entry 2 and 3 exclusively .. the 800/1600 IXO is very good, it just recently kept me out of a losing long position on the 15. I like that for the C14 and i will be utilizing this for the week as well. thanks for the info seller

Great

I have been looking around the different forums and doing a lot of reading about other systems to maybe get a small piece of information that may help us to make the EA better. I don't want to add anything else unless it looks like it will give us a better edge, too many indicators and you end up with indicator brain freeze and you don't know which way to go.

I have never been convinced that the lower time frames below H1 were of any use, but it looks like with the right settings we may be able to trade the M15 in a profitable way, as long as we don't try to get greedy, if we can get the middle chunk of the action that is all we will need, we don't need the entire trend, I haven't seen anyone who can pick the exact bottom and top of a run.

Good Luck

{quote} Did you use the force download script to make sure all symbols have data? It always looks this way on a new install if the history data for each symbol has not been brought up to date. The first thing that should always be done on a new install is the history be updated or nothing will work properly. Yellow symbols means missing history data or no Broker connection to get it.
Thanks Seller you was right.

Also have to install all the indi related to that version.

Anyway if in the next version of BT_CS you can add the function to choose whatever pairs we want will be appreciate.

Thanks in advance

As shown in the last video and emphasised to stop the robot / remove EA before closing the chart or your MT4 platform.

Hi Seller9, How's the progress of SD EA? I'm willing to do forward testing if you don't mind. thks.
Not good

The SD zones drawn by the indy look great when looking at past charts but in real time, as the EA sees them, they form late and by then the PA is well out of the SD zone and it would be entering the trade late.

Its kind of like most indicators, when you look at old charts it seems so easy to just trade that indy and make big bucks, but at the right edge of the screen it doesn't work that way, and that is where the EA trades.

I have been spending a lot of time on the MT_14 EA and trying to tweak it, so haven't had as much time to put into the SD EA as I should, but I think we have reached a point with the MT_14 EA where only small tweaks maybe needed so I will have more time to get back to the SD EA.

The problems with the ever changing builds of MT4 is driving everyone crazy right now as they try to get things to work under the ever changing MT4 platform that has some strange things going on with it and they keep changing from day to day.

I will keep everyone informed as to the progress of the SD EA, as I know there is a lot of interest in it.
