Kopratasa EA & BDM

Yes.
And i am also reading the bobokus forum at http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=50767

Sarju, didn't forget you !

But...
Due to the fact that the standard "cci + has" baskets perform that well over the past few weeks i decided to adapt the BasketWriter first to allow buy and sells in the same basket.
I will change the entry system to create buy/sell combined baskets later on.

So just a little bit more patience.

HP

No worries . take your time, as always you are doing a great job.

Sarju,

Download is on the first post.

Hope i didn't forget something.

Rgds.

not only Sarju, I downloaded of course too!
Hotpotato, may be necessary to make the announcement: 1.what made 2.what fixed 3.what added?

Hi HP,

The zip file in post #1... does it contain the new tools you've been working on?
What can you tell us about them?

Cheers!

The CHF CCI basket and the Asia+2 buy basket are still running strong.
The Asia+2 Sell basket is already closed @ +21.67

No new tools (yet) and i can't remember every change but i will give it a try later on.

HP
Thank you . Downloading now.

Hello HP

I have copied all files to their respective folders in my MT4. Can you guide me as to what I need to do now ? I have added the Kopratasavi1.18 ea to a chart.

Regards
Sarju

I'll get back on that.

Oke, i am just looking for the post where i explained a bit.
Already way back....found it

- Load the Kopratasa,BDM and BTM EA's on separate charts. Symbol/period doesn't matter, they will set it to their own.
- Set the time in Kopratasa to lock the screen automatically or use the [lock] button.
- Use the [buy xxx] or [Sell xxx] buttons to generate a basket name + launch button.
- Go to the BDM screen and fill in the name of the just generated basket.
- On BDM visually check all opened charts to see if you are happy with the generated basket.
- if so close the BDM charts using the red [Close] button if you are not happy with the selected pairs write down the ones you do not want in the basket and then use the red [Close] button.
- Go back to Kopratasa and if you have pairs from the previous step you do not want in you basket de-select them and use the [buy xxxx] or [Sell xxx] button again to generate a new basket. If you were happy with the selected pairs you do not have to generate the basket again.
- Click on the button that appeared when you generated the basket and has the basketname in it (Red or Green).
- The BasketWriter input window will popup fill in the basketname, select the period for the chart, click [Ok] and the offline chart will be generated.
- Go to the files menu of mt4 and select "Open offline".
- Open one of the offline charts you just generated.
- At this point BTM will show a basket window for the first time with in the top *INACTIVE*
- On the offline chart open BT_14_vxx
- I use the original magicnumber and add the basket numbers fi. Basket BC5-04 i add 504 to the magicnummer.
- On BT_14_vxx also fill in the "TradeComment" with the basketname. The comment should be the same as the chart fi. #BC5-04#0415
This is very IMPORTANT for BTM !! But once BT_ is trading you could also set the magic numbers on the baskets in BTM.
- AFTER loading BT_ load the indicators you want like fibov1.04 and/or Basket MTF (other way around BT_14 will mess up the screen).
- For every offline chart you open (given it has the right name convention) BTM will show another *INACTIVE* basket window.
- As soon as you open trades manually or by BT_ on one of the offline charts BTM will mark the corresponding basket *ACTIVE* and start showing the trades.
- Of course if you close the trades BTM will mark the window *INACTIVE* and if you close the offline chart the complete basket window will disappear.
- If you want to manipulate trades individually in a specific basket than in BTM click on the gray [TRADE DETAILS] button from that basket.

Hello HP

"Click on the button that appeared when you generated the basket and has the basketname in it (Red or Green)"

When I click on this button (green) with the name BS3-01 the MT4 help menu appears ?. What am I doing wrong ?

Regards
Sarju

Sarju,

Forgot to tell you that you have to set the hotkey for the basketwriterv1.03 to [ALT] H,

HP

Thank you. Followed the instructions and have it set up now. I have one inactive window showing. Will a trade be placed automatically when the conditions are right ?
Also do I need to click the Unlock button after setting it up ?. What is the purpose of this button?

Regards
Sarju

Sarju,

I think you misunderstood.
Kopratasa, BDM and BTM are a selection and management system, they do not autotrade.

The autotrader EA in this system is the BT_14_v27 written by Seller9.
This is a multifunctional basket trader which is quite complicated.
There were learning videos online on youtube but they have been taken down.
I will try to find them for you.

Found them

hey hotpotato

many thanks for the kopratasa EA. i am using an earlier version in an extremely simplistic way, but is still giving me a consistency which is very rare in forex.

sorry if this is a noob question but is there a way of simultaneously launching the buy and sell baskets generated on the same demo? i'm trying using two mt4 terminals logged into the same account and if i launch one basket it doesnt allow me to launch another on the other platform; the basket EA sort of displays something to the effect that a basket has already been launched and the only thing i can do is close the existing basket, not launch a fresh one.

do you know if there is any way around this? many thanks


ps can i also ask which seems to be working better asia+2 baskets or london -1

Your first problem must have something to do with your magicnumbers, i can't imagine anything else.
Make sure thay are not the same per basket.

Why are you running two mt4's ?
With ease i can manage 9 buy/sell combined baskets on 1 terminal.

I find that Asia+2 generated at entered at London-1 after checking with BDM give the best result especially if you use the suggested baskets with the breakout trade option of sellers BT_14

At London-1 i look at the baskets using the bobokusfibo indicator and i set the BT_ breakout lines accordingly.
The bobukusfibo will show you if there is still room to make profit to the original Asia+2 trade direction or that the targets are already hit.
If they are already hit i expect a reversal.

With the use of the BT_14 BO-lines option you can anticipate both, the continuation or the reversal, you do not have to stay on top of the trade.

I can't say i won all the Asia+2 baskets but the losses are neglectable.

Sometimes there is no tradeable basket suggested on Asia+2 and than i try London-1 or London+1 but i find those more unpredictable and more prone to go bad.

Asian+2 basket of today.

A bit down just before london open but it continued the Asia session after that and broke the BO line.
London open is at 10:00.

brilliant thanks for your help hotpotato, must be that i havent changed the magic number (doh)

well this will help reduce my many mt4 demo terminals by one! also will continue to use the earlier version of the kopratasa EA until i get to grips with the more advanced recent version

currently im using H1 charts, will also try M15 charts like you use on the terminal that's been freed, see how that changes things.

Thank you HP . downloading and having a look.
