{quote} thank you for the tips, I am using the same setup, only difference is I am running on 15min, hopefully can enter and exit faster, good pips to you. Daniel
Great, I wanted to switch to 15m charts to see how it does. Now we can just report our findings and go from there. I believe we'll find settings to work with.

Chilled Friday trading the good old way (with a little help from the Pins). Two hours of screentime is more than enough before the weekend.
The Bandit EA is pure pleasure to manage trades with. Thank you, Seller9.

Hello I've got a question, or a suggestion, depending on the answer to said question. Is there any way to make the EA close a CCI signal when it has stopped giving the signal instead of it giving an opposite signal? If you're using an oversold/overbought filter on the CCI signal the signal is very tradeable, but the trade is technically open until it gives a signal in the other direction, and when this finally happens the trade is usually not in profit anymore. Using the attached picture as reference: If the EA would have exited this trade when...
I'll quote myself here just to let you know of a work-around-fix. You can use a fast HAS (perhaps MA too) as exit signal so you won't get in those (too) long trades I described above.

Hi Guro

I don't think you can automate a trade off of a pending line, they are only used for break out lines. It is a tool I would love to see added but we all know Seller is a busy man and I don't expect him to change things around for the minority. Hopefully in the future Seller or any other coders out there would be able to make the BO lines interchangeable, so we could trade a break out or a bounce depending on how we see it.

Hi Alf

Sellers did show us a way around it awhile back, I just can't find the post.

Hi,

I've been using Basket Writer and BT_14 as my main tools for some time now and you do have the ability to do pending orders (PO) in the EA... just click the Break Out order button (BO) twice and it changes from BO to PO.
However, what you can't do is take a BO/PO order that bounces off the price, ie, when the price breaks/touches the line it always takes a trade in the same direction.
For FIB trading, for example, what you need is for the BO/PO trades to take a trade in the opposite direction of the break/touch... and that, the BT_14 doesn't do.
Unfortunately, things got a bit sour on this thread in late February and Seller took a (well deserved) timeout and he put the BT_14 improvements to the side.
Although it's a MASSIVE tool as is, I'm still hoping that Seller can implement 1 or 2 improvements to it...

Cheers!

It could be that i am totally wrong but wasn't that workaround a question of reversing the pairs(s) in the input params ?

Hi HP,

Yes, you're right... forgot about that option... I don't use it though, because the intent that Seller created it for was for trading splits, like the USD 4/3 and other baskets that have pairs with opposite correlation.

Cheers

Been a while since I read that far back and I never used it that way but wasn't it a case of reversing the BO/PO lines ie. you moved the buy line to the bottom of the range and the sell line to the top?

Hi Pip Poppy,

Nope... if you do that, then the ea immediately triggers a trade.
The ea looks at the BO/PO line that you just put on the chart and determines if it's a BO/PO sell line and if it's above the current price >>> if this is true, then it triggers a sell (and vice-versa).
So you can't bring the BO/PO sell line up above the current price, because it'll trigger a sell as soon as you click the "Trade Live" button... I know, I've tried it out!

The only way is to reverse the pairs in the basket (inside the settings), so the ea takes a SHORT position when it touches/breaks a BO/PO buy line, and takes a LONG position when it hits a BO/PO sell line.
But, like I said... Seller didn't create the pair reversal option for that use, plus you'd always have to keep in mind that the pairs are reversed in the ea (in future trades).

I prefer to do it manually and keep asking Seller to implement these (and another 2 options) into BT_14... who knows, maybe a version 28, 29, 30... will come out.

Cheers

Hey silazpt

Did you follow the instructions on page 1?
Were the markets open when you set it up, it looks as though from your screen shot the markets were closed. If you try again now it might be fine.

Hope that helps
