{quote} Hi HP, Lightning fast as usual! Will the 1000ms version be out today? And will I be able to load it over the live trades I have going? Btw: At this point, the only "non-HP" tool I'm using is Sellers BT_14_v27... And that's just because "someone" has yet to produce a similar tool (don't know who...) I gave the dashboard hype a go, but prefer to look at charts and decide the trades by myself... hey, but that's just me (I may be wrong) Cheers!
BT_14_ is quite heavy to so have a look at your cpu load for terminal.exe.
If it goes near 100/cores % you could run into trouble.

In the mean time i will keep monitoring the 20 basket for hiccups.

Perhaps someone else can report on their findings.

Below miliseconds.

Hotpotato,

I don't post much, only when I am really impressed with someone's project .

Your visual representation of the baskets is really well done and it compliments my trading style! Thank you!

I look at multiple of things when placing a trade, as one should, and I only work with pending orders...

I start looking at the baskets at London -1 and start placing pending orders at London +15 min or a bit later - depending on market conditions.
I start writing down the 'top seller' and 'top buyers' London -1 and only consider the once that are still there at London +15 minutes.

What would be really need is to have an indication besides the pairs that show the amount of time the pairs are already in a particular basket, either with its font color or a symbol or whatever is easiest to program. That would highly increase the visual confirmation of pairs that one would consider for trading, in my humble opinion...

Keep up the good work and thank you for your selfless contribution!

Silicus,

Thanks for the compliment, just doing what brings me pleasure.

I do understand what you mean.
On my trend trader the "# bars in trend" have a big influence on the trades taken.
So yes we need something like that.

Also i found that pairs are hopping in and out the basket and really do not spend consistently much time there.
So i am toying with the idea to let the basket work as a net, easy to swim in more difficult to get out.

Once i am in a trade i do not look at the lower timeframes anymore and certainly not at the 5 minutes.
So i was thinking to include the M5 in the calculation to get a pair into a basket but not use it anymore in the decision to drop the pair from the basket.
Let say give it a dummy value always in the direction of the basket it is in so the 15 minute candle direction will be the decision maker.

It won't be easy to do but i think it will increase the stability of the selection for a basket to trade and of course with an indication of how long the pair is already there.

Hotpotato,
I am not sure if you should change the way the pairs get into the basket, because I think that part works really well.

I think the argument of time spent in the basket is one that is worth exploring. Here is an example for the last London session:

I was watching cadjpy, gbyjpy, usdjpy (all buy) and eurusd, eurcad (both sell) last night, they were the pairs that stayed in the basket pretty consistently since London -1 hours until London +15 min. There were other pairs that came and went during that period and maybe they where good to trade, but with the pairs mentioned my basket was closed within 20 min - all those pairs where positive pretty much the whole time.

Writing the pairs down or making a selfies works, but having an indication of time spend in the basket would be killer :-) Just thinking out loud......

It was not getting in the basket but about getting out but you are right, we first need to see how long they stay in a basket to get an idea.
It require a major rewrite because now baskets are just emptied at candle close and new qualifying trades are put in without previous knowledge.
I'll give a a go tomorrow.

Hi HP,

In terms of the Basket Manager, you mentioned that there are some buttons that are still not working.
Since I have a live "core5" trade going on, I'd like to eventually try the manager on that trade (depends on how the trade goes).
But to do so, and to not make a good trade turn sour, I need you to tell me/confirm the following:

  1. Which buttons are working correctly?
  2. If I ADD to a trade (one pair or all the pairs) will this add update/appear in the profit/loss of the BT_14_v27 (use the same magic number)? I know that it will have no influence on the Add function of the BT_14_ of course.
  3. The reverse buttons (pair/all) closes a sell and opens a buy (and vice versa)?
  4. Add All = adds to profit and loss
  5. Add Profit = adds only to profit
  6. Add (pair) = adds to pair (whether profit or loss)

Thanks!

Hi Silicus,

Read your ideas on setting up a basket on a daily basis and think it might really be a winner... will be looking into it as well.
Just so I'm on the same page as you...

  1. What method do you use to choose the initial pairs (top sellers / top buyers) to start analyzing at London-1?
  2. How long have you been using this method?
  3. Has it shown consistent gains?

Cheers!

vmc,

I am trading since 2007, mostly EURUSD. I would now like to expand my trading onto other pairs. Conditions, even for 'exotics', have been improving consistently over the last few years, I am talking mostly about spread. I am new to anything other then EURUSD.
1.
The trend is your friend!:
In a nutshell: I look for the Master trend of a pair. I like to keep it simple. HeikenAshi Daily. Was the previous day a 'buy' candle, chances are 75% that today will be a 'buy' candle as well. But I do not know for sure. That's why I place a pending order under/above the last hourly supply/demand zone when the pair is confirmed. I also look for correlation. I would not place a buy on USDJPY when I buy EURUSD, of course.
Here is where Kopratasa comes in as a confirmation. When all these ducks are in a row, I place the pending order. I am also new to basket trading, I very much like the idea. If one pair does not 'behave' the others mostly do... :-) I start watching the pairs at London -1 to -1 1/2 hours until London +15 min or so and then make a decision.
Last night, according to my rules of master trend, I should NOT have placed the EURUSD sell, but Kopratasa gave a strong signal, so I went for it, after all I use demo with this and I like to learn and improve..... First the dashboard confused me a bit, because pairs are jumping in and out, but if you write down the pairs you will find that some are 'strong' in a certain direction.
2.
Since last week.

3.
So far so good.

Please note that I am not saying it works in the long run! You also have to consider general sentiment, daily, weekly, monthly pivots etc. And mostly stay out of market if it is rangy. And try on demo, until you have weeks of experience with this. Oh and I stay away from CHF pairs!

Hope this helps!

I have no experience with the Asian session, sorry. And I am just experimenting with the London session. A lot of homework needs to be done!

Oke, i got it.

First i tried different colors for the tick outline going from gray to with to yellow to red etc. but that wasn't clear enough.
So for now it is a small gray number in the tick box indicating the number of M5 bars the pair is in the box.

ps. wait for the 1.16, small error.

Hotpotato,

awesome!!! Thank you!!! It seems to work in a short test.

1.
Two digit numbers 'spill' out of the box.

2.
I see your point regarding keeping pairs in the net longer. I just had a pair go and come back the next cycle, which of course will reset the counter and you would not know that the pair was in the basket for 50 minutes, then disappeared and came back, it still might be a strong signal...

Great work!

Success!

Looked at pairs in the basket that had more than 3 cycles at London +15 minutes:
Placed pending orders just below/above pre London lows/highs for the following pairs:

EURAUD = + 32 pips
USDCAD = +7 pips
EURNZD = +44 pips
AUDUSD* = +7 pips
GPBUSD* =+41 pips

* trades where place after 3 cycles in the basket after London open.

The following pending orders did not get filled: AUDNZD, EURCAD.
Displaying the number of cycles is a huge improvement and very practical.

What is impressive, is the very low drawdown. All pairs pretty much went into profit right away. Total time of basket from the first order 2:45 hours. Kind of a slow day because of FOMC statement later on, but still harvested a nice number of pips!

Thanks Hotpotato!

HP,

FYI: kopra ea doesn't autocreate the EURDKK, M1 chart/template anymore...

PS: I've noticed that when we load the BT_14_v27 onto an offline chart created by kopra/basketwriter, and then set the HTP/HSL lines, the measured pips (shown by BT_14) do not correspond to real pip count - this makes it difficult to know exactly how many pips we're setting for SL/TP... any way to solve this?

Kopratasa runs forced on EURUSD.
I needed the barTime to look for a barClose/newBar but there was alsmost no activity last night on EURDKK so i never got a tick. Yeah, four minutes after i wanted it......
