Tx SmoothTrader, now i put first time #black template,and afther i loaded Slots_v12 EA on more than one platforms and the result are the same It is posible to do something wrong,but i dont know were is the mistake. {image}
let me answer...you have to use higher resolution. to do this first try to push F11 and if this will be not enough you have to remove some tools from the metatrader to see all the EA with all buttons. At least I use 1920*1080 reolution.
After you have solve this, you have to start the EA ..
Decide of the pairs you want to have them in the basket. In the lower left you will see the pairs. Then after push to one of them. Afterwars on the right side upper the PA, P1 or P2 has to be selected. All together can be selected as well.. Of course this was a very basic start, there are many options to know more to use this magic EA. Best videos are given from Seller9 and please watch them ... I had also first time few troubles, but all is now fine after watching carefull few videos..
I believe and demo already nice pips and this is really a great work, I can only thank for now. A big thank to the creators for the endless spend hours and efforts. Good to know them they are close to us
best luck to all of us...

{quote} If you look at post 9848 Seller9 did a wonderful video explaining my set-up. GREEN pips to one and all.
thank you smoothtrader, i looked at this one many times, the basket equity lock does the job for trailing but still it doesn't clear the tabs once the equity is hit (same as stop loss), would be very nice to have an option to deactivate all pairs once either stoploss hit or equity lock hit. Or even better an option to say clear the pair tab once that pair has opened a position. Or maybe this option already exist but I really don't know how to figure out?

thank you so much for such an EA, especially that is free EA!!!

Be sure you realize that you shouldn't be thanking me, ALL the thanks and well wishes should go to our friend SELLER9 for patiently developing this wonderful tool.

GREEN pips to each and every one of you.

{quote} Congrats Kadox! Are you using the 1H time frame? On your #9402 post you mention that you were demo-testing with three different brokers. Did you find your results were similar between them when using the same trade setup? Or quite different? As you say the $/Eu total isn't as important as that equity curve. If that's consistent with such small draw down, one can plug in what ever lot size their account can handle.
Thanks.
I am using 1H TF.
I am testing on TW and Pepperstone...the results are similar(maybe 2-3 pips difference).
Dont forget about MoneyManagement...sometimes(mostly becouse of high impact news/events) there are large movements(over 100pips) or market go sideways all day and if you are in trade this can couse big DD...so I recomend to use 0.01 std lots per 1000$ if you dont care about news.
If you gonna use ''agressive'' lot sizes your acc will be drain very soon...

{quote} Hi Kadox, Wonderful results! If I look and the trade entry times it looks like you have been using the 15 minute time-frame. Is that correct? In previous posts you stated that you use the 1 hr time-frame. If you have changed any settings, from the previously published ones, please let us know. Thanks. -Popko-
Hi,Popko!
When signals for buy/sell appears I look at the charts(30min,1H and 4H, I also check for upcoming news) and if its OK I let EA trade choosed pairs...it takes some time,so trades opened with some delay(sometimes more than 30 minutes)...I also noticed that opened trades were in confirmation with PA.(not always but some times that happened).
I also tested PA+PIN1+PIN2 on full auto mode for a week...but with unstable results...
And tested only with PA for a 2 weeks...but,again,with unstable results...
And many over settings with many TP sizes...

{quote} It would be so useful to have an option to say: as soon as a pair opened, desactivate it from opening again (so you can activate it manually again if you want later) so the button pair should become white. Another idea would be to clear all tab as soon as the equity TP is hit or the equity stop loss is hit, that way, it prevent the ea from opening any pair after we reached our goal or we lose enough for the day. SmoothTrader, i trade H1 with PA only, what are your settings? I also have another EA that do a trailing SL on equity (global trailing...

Its hard to test many settings singly...I was tested in about 30 variations of settings...so for those who interested-dont wait for somebody to lead you...just try and test becouse the more people are testing diff settings the more opportunities for success we have.
If somebody thinks that someone will do all the work for him-it's a big mistake.Again,just try and test.
I go on vacation for the next two weeks...so no updates until I return to home...
P.S.-I am receiving some strange questions in my PM inbox...please dont PM me questions like ''why I cannot run SLOTS?'' or ''why SLOTS does not take trades?''answers on this questions are in this thread(and in general-ALL you need is in this thread ),just take your time and educate yourself...otherwise you will be ignored.Thanks for understanding.
Green pips to all.

Thanks Kadox for your reply. I'll run your settings next week. I've noticed a couple things in my demo trading. It does seem that a common price movement is high volume during the London session that drives a trend that then fades towards the end of the session and sometimes reverses during the NY session. The relevant point is that money management of taking smaller profits might help secure profits while avoiding reversal draw downs. Or at least be sure to close profits before the end of the London session.

It seems that the HAS bars reversal closes trades nicely and Kadox and Smoothtrader like it. I found some positive results last week when using the ATR TP. I ran a 104 CCI on 4H charts and tried to grab big profits with a 1.6 ATR-TP )). This worked great one day but the next day most of the trades were in the green towards the end of the London session but hadn't made it to the 1.6 ATR TP. Then the trend changed, the profits disappeared, and P/L went into a big draw down that lasted into the New York session. Goodbye to profits. Next week I'll run using the HAS as an exit. But I plan to test using the ATR-TP again but with more conservative settings like .8-1.0 ATR for the TP. Better to take many smaller profits if it allows you to avoid big draw downs.

Try and test...this is the only way...and dont forget-never trust any EA's-your money is just a bytes of code for them...
I always look at what EA is doing.Somebody can say that this is kinda boring but not in trading...at all...
A little fairness note​:I see that people saying that settings(in my previos post) is shared by me or SmoothTrader...thats not right-the first source of this settings was Dansmal(post#9364)...so dont forget about that...

Good Morning Folks,

I have been looking for a simple but well put together basket EA. I must say Seller has done a remarkable job. I have went to the first post downloaded all the files, watched the first 2 videos and for some reason the Slots v12 does not load correctly no matter what I do. I hope someone here can help me out and let me know what I am doing wrong. Attached is what I get.

Hello Seller,
Thanks for your experts and continuing work to help us make steady pips. Could you point me to a thread post or video where you explain your use of the settings in the Slots_MACD_plugin? I've done a search in the thread, reviewed videos, and post one files, but can't find exactly how you're using the MACD.

Is a X (cross) for entry, or D signal for direction, based on the cross of the MACD over the signal line, or the cross/position of the MACD relative to the zero line? I can see benefits for both. Shorter settings might be good to indicate an entry or exit, and longer settings could be used as a direction filter in the slots computation.
Sorry if this has already been detailed somewhere.
Thanks and a good holiday weekend to you and others here.

I can see from your list of pairs with Forex.com that in live mode the pairs have an extension 'pro'. The expert needs this information added to recognize your pairs. In the expert (turn off first) scroll down to setting FG7. In the right column it says "Add suffix to pairs". Type in three letters pro then save.
See if this helps.

The Slots EA does not need the suffix entered anyplace in the settings, it will find it if there is one all by itself.

You only need to add the suffix to the pairs you want to use for your U#1 button, if you don't want to use this user button there is no need to enter anything here.

It has also been said many times that Slots needs data for all 28 pairs, so if your history for all 28 pairs is not up to date or your Broker does not have all 28 pairs it will not work, all 28 pairs must also be active in the watch list.
