JPY today...
If you don't understand the basics how are the prices of the currencies determined " Holly grail " indicators or EA's are not going to make you a successful trader.
This is what differentiates Forex trading from gambling. Look at the Core pairs then select your basket.

I've been running JPY7-H4, C5-H4, C14-H1, and a JPY7-15m with the latest BT_14_v21-646et expert on a FinFX demo account for the last week and have very positive results on all charts. Thanks Seller9 for this great expert! I initiate most of my trades manually as per the default trade settings defined in the videos.

I've listened through the initial Baskettrading setup video and the v20 video on Youtube a couple times but am still working to exactly understand the order in which some of the dashboard settings are to be setup and utilized. I have several questions and am hoping someone else has the answer or could point me to what minute tab to go to in the videos, where the answer is explained.

1.) Can I use the 'Add' (trade) button to manually add a second & third basket entry to a currently active trade? When I click the' Add' button an entry order is listed in the popup window but no trade is initiated? There are no errors listed in Journal or Expert tabs. Suggestions?

2.) Does the Alert button allow one to set an alert level on the chart? I looked for a horz line as in MT4 but didn't see one and wasn't sure how to utilize this.

3.) I love the functionality of the BreakOut levels. Is it possible to use one of these as a limit entry level rather than a stop entry level? Example; After there is a signal for a trade entry (manual or auto ) can one set a limit level better than current price to wait for a bounce to enter for an initial or add-on trade at better price before price returns to its previous direction?

4.) Although I have selected the settings,' Restore Trade Settings' and 'Restart after manual and BO trades' in the BT_14_v21-646et expert, when I close down the expert after a manual trade is active, then restart the expert, the dashboard seems to lose connection via magic number with the open trade basket P/L. Example; the open trade is running at +$ 30.50 P/L then after expert stopped and restarted the dashboard shows an long/short trade is in play with pairs listed below, but $00.00 P/L is displayed ??

If Seller9 or others have a suggestion for proper settings& button procedure to solve these issues, it will be appreciated.)

Only the pairs that are into profit will be added to, if a pair is not in profit it will not open another trade on that pair.



2.) Does the Alert button allow one to set an alert level on the chart? I looked for a horz line as in MT4 but didn't see one and wasn't sure how to utilize this.
This button only opens the pop up alert window in case you want to see what alerts have already happened, it is not used to set alert levels.

No

I just tried this

Restore Trade Settings = true
I opened a long manual trade.
I stopped Robot
I restarted Robot with same Magic Number and the Robot resumed control of the same magic Number Trade that was open and P/L read OK.

Restart after manual and BO trades only works on manual and BO trades closed by the robot, not manually closed trades.

Up $210 in my real account from the July 4, 2014 0400AM(EST) EA triggered entrance

Thanks Sam. Over the years I have met people with experience who can work without any indicators. A friend use to make 30% a day trading the e-mini just in the mornings. He attributed it to years of day-trading on the equities market.

Here is a JPY7 basket trade from last night, as you can see it agrees with what Sam is showing, although in this case I did not reverse the 2 pairs, if I had the profit would have been greater.

Trade set up:


Trade opened by robot:


Trade closed by robot:

JPY7

Hi Smknyc,

would you mind share the link or informations?
I would like to learn more about that!

Thanks!

Capital idea seller9. I think Sam's proposal of using revers pairs is defiantly worth pursuing.

dear all
sorry to bother you
I have run this ea with a setup like the following for 2 days but the robot never open trade. Is there something wrong with my setup?
please correct if there is wrong

please can you tell how is enrty and exit with the EA
Is entry has + xo1 + xo2 direction ?
and what is exit?


Please give details. thank you

Alert !!!!!!!!

There is a bug in the new build of MT4 that affects the placement of the buttons on the right side of the chart, this is a MT4 bug that the new build has and will need to be fixed by the MT4 platform coders.

Go back to build 646 until they fix this new bug.

One easy way is to go back to a restore point the day before the upgrade was installed.

If this is your first install then you will need to find the earlier build.

I don't understand how you guys are claiming that you're rocking JPY with HAS on H4 . Look at this chart waiting for HAS signal you left +254 on the table.

Paul - The Intern

ok smknyc let me learn how to do it. You say h4 does not work this did not help me. say HOW you trade, what TF, what settings work for you, thanks

This is Paul - SMK away for next 2 weeks. I was speaking of HAS not H4. The entry is clearly visible on the chart. If you can't read the posted chart I will suggest you start from the basics.

dont get nasty man. english is not my first language. i can very well read charts. I spoke for the EA if you can read and settings for an EA.
