Hi Marysco,

To get the CCI TP, do you set the PIN1/PIN2 (depending on what it is set as) exit on casino to true?

Also can you point me to the post where you detail you settings for semafor and CCI cycle please? I have seen them before but at the minute I cant find them!! I have read far too many posts today

Thanks

Hello everyone, Sorry for not posting updates on my Casino CCI_CYCLE_PIN that i've been testing. I've been busy on other stuff and didn't have much time on my hand. I set up 3 Casino for the same pin with 3 different settings just 2hours b4 LO yesterday. If you read the note on top of each of the Casino, it will tell you the setting i made on it. Two of them made over 500pips each and the last one made over 200. My old setting 1 of my previous tests still remains the winner with a very small DD of 27pips only. {image} {image} {image} Cheers. MM....
​Hi Murysco.

Your job and the time you have spent is admirable and of course the Seller9.

A week ago I started using your configuration. However I have recently seen some problems with CCI Cycle Pin v5 because it is not always updated and have lost opportunities to trade.

You know what might be happening?

Thank you.

thanks, that's what I had found as well on my HAS demos.


thanks also for keeping us in the loop with the CCI / semafor demos, seems like I was being being too conservative using the D1 indx filter seems to be fine without it

{quote} The HM depends on the time frame you have it set for. When using M5 here are some settings that work fairly well. HM = M5 Min = 8 Max = 10 Exit % = 20 to 100 (Try different ones and see what works the best for your trade plan), 100 % will exit the trade when the HM crosses back through the zero crossover point. The reason to keep the window small (8 to 10) is because if you have noticed on the M5 the HM maxes out around 20 to 30 most of the time, so you don't want to get in when it is close to its max. I have seen some traders even use 8...

{quote} Hi Seller9 Exactly the same issue, did a previously successful setup, went way came back 424 losses in a row - thankfully not a live account - needs to be fixed. It has been mentioned before in several posts over the last while that Casino opens and closes multiple trades immediately after starting and that has not been addressed either. {image}
Hello everyone especially Seller9,

In addition to the failure to mention Payitforward and Murisco I think HM has some sort of problem more or I didn't understand his operation. I think if we use the entry min point 8 understand that has to cross above 8 for buys and below than -8 for sells. As you can see in the picture there are sell signals with much lower values to -8 and no buying newly crossed up the value 8. I put another example values min 2 and max 3.Thanks all!

Cheers.

{quote} Thanks for this, Murysco. But, do you trade two hours before LO only, or is it to LC?
I noticed it is always better to set it to start 2hours before LO as most crosses occur between this time into the London session and theres no particular closing time for it. You may close when you feel youve had enough profit or let keep running 24/7.

I also noticed sometimes it can miss a trade it should have taken with all the right conditions met. For instance yesterday one of the Casino's took a short trade on GBPJPY and while the remaining 2 casinos didn't take it. Whereas all the conditions were ok for entry. The 3 of them have the same entry rules and only differ in their exits. I can't really point what could be the cause for this. Maybe Seller9 can enlighten us on this.

Hi All

RECOMMENDATION - MY EXPERIENCE - NEVER, EVER LEAVE CASINO v43 RUNNING UNATTENDED

Other than previous posts where users have noticed trades opening and closing immediately and other strange issues this is my latest ...

Had Casino v43 on a live account.
Has been open for over 24 hours
Setup for pairs CCICyc + Semafor.
NO Pairs were selected.
NO Filters selected.
NO pins selected.
Trading time open.
Casino opened a trade AUDCAD.

This was NOT an accidental trade. First it was placed while I was asleep and if it were an accidental order it would therefore have had to be a pending order - never manually set a pending order and as previously stated NO PAIRS SELECTED.

This is my experience, there may be others here that "accidentally" open orders however that is DEFINITELY NOT the case here - Casino opened.

The only reason I knew the trade was opened was because I received the daily statement message from my broker.

There are obviously issues with this version that Seller9 needs to address please.

re pay it forward bogus accidental trade etc
Probably a good indicator if you need it.
The trade I posted was my experience while I slept, no pending order placed on the pair chart and no activation on any Casino controls therefore should be no trade - unfortunate bug in Casino like other users have mentioned.
I am sure it will all be fixed by Seller9 in due course.
Good luck with reducing your accidental trades.

Cheers
Richard

hi, i am using the good old bt_14_v27 expert. and i cannot setup one thing, which i saw in casino: if my basket hit a target, trailing stop will start. there is an sl, and trailing stop option in bt_14 too, but it is not the same as casino, or just i cannot set it up.. i am very happy, i saw i can create offline charts with casino too. missing only one indicator, the ixoah one.. maybe in the future? green pips to all! regards, csibesz

Hello Seller
Using renko and cci, do you think there is a way to enter a trade after a cci signal BUT only after the market does a pullback after the signal?
I noticed that market often pullbacks before recovering its trend.

If Casino took the trade you should get an alert pop up telling you so, click on the "Show Alerts" button and see what it says.

Just because it shows your entry level doesn't mean it will open a trade, the HM must be getting stronger in the proper direction.

You could have an entry value of 8 and currently you could be at 20 and no trade will be entered because the HM is getting weaker.

First Off, you should always be using the latest Casino, which is now at v45, as any bugs that were found have been fixed.

I let my Casino run 24/5 on live accounts with no problems, it does exactly what I set it up to do.

Did you get an alert from Casino telling you it opened the trade? Check the "Show Alerts" button. If there was no alert than Casino did not take the trade, also did it have a Magic Number?

99.99 % of the time the problem can be traced back to Human error, I do it myself on occasion and it always comes back to some dumb thing I did wrong or forgot to set.

If all the Casinos are not looking at the exact same price data bank you can get different results, it happens to me all the time.

Even after I have tested an idea for a while on a demo account and then move it to a real account the results can be different, even when running a Demo and Live account side by side from the same Broker I can get different results.
The calculations are only as good as the price data Casino uses, and the amount of history can greatly affect what answers Casino comes up with.

My final test of an idea is to try it on a small live account at .01 lot to see if it is a good idea, and only after a month on the live account can I determine if I will keep it or not.

I have seen the exact same test side by side on 2 different Brokers live come up with different results, even as far as one winning and the other losing.

A lot of the times I also watch Casino and at times am wondering why it is not taking a trade and then realize that the spread may be too high, it is one thing I forget to look at and can stop a trade from taking place.

Most of the time if you study the situation you will come up with a logical answer.

I am not a mind reader and have no idea what circumstances may have taken place, all I know is Casino works fine for me running 24/5 and if I find a bug it gets fixed and a new version posted, that's why the latest version should always be used and it is always posted in the first post and also here in an update post when it comes out.

There is a lot going on in Casino, and when traders start mixing different PINs and try to make them do something they weren't intended for problems can happen.

One last thing that was mentioned in the videos is to always open your TOOLS menu and open the GLOBAL VARIABLES and delete everything in there when starting a new test to clean things up, as MT4 is not the best in cleaning things up and may leave things in there that could screw up your results.

One last thing, different Brokers have different starting times for their new day and this can also affect different results between different traders using different Brokers as some calculations may be calculated based on the start time of a new day or new candle.

Everyone have a nice day
