{quote} Thankyou for your support Kos i am a he,,ive succesfully downloaded the the c5 just demoing this week, im already 200 pips up on the new buy signal on the 4hr. Best regards have a great day Mayfair.
Good for you Mayfair...I recommend playing with other time frames, anything below H1 would be counter-productive.
It is possible to make large sums trading, small losses, large wins

@kosomolate

I have been following your thread for the past few days and I think it is great thread and you have created a very nice platform for fellow traders.

I would like you to point me in the right direction as I'm still struggling with the stop loss this strategy?

Do you place stop loss manual on each of 5 pairs once the trades signal occurs or is there an amendable indicator or EA (which I have overseen) that lets the user control the SL on the main chart?

Also can you tell me how many pips would you risk on each pair, if you are placing manual SL?

Best Regards

Billy

billy123 - i'm pretty new to the thread, and actually still reading through the old posts (from the other basket threads) while i am not entirely sure of this but it used to be something like 500 pips stoploss, and i think this was measured as the entire basket; because he uses a account management EA that cuts all trade at "x%" equity lost

if you read back about 100 pages or so, Koso comments on using the Daily charts and how he gave it 10 chances, maybe someone else can correct me, but from this, it would mean he used 10% account risk (highest balance gained) every time he entered a basket.

that question shows you have not read deep into the thread, Friend, roll up your sleeves and start digging.

we use basket SL,and the amount depends on the TF you are trading from,
Only risk what you can afford to loose without sweat, as for me I risk 5% of my acct,

EG on a $1000 acct, SL 250, lotsize 0.02, if I hit SL I loose $50. I have to hit SL 20 times straight to loose the acct.
check your chart as far backward as 2008 to see if such scenario has occurred before.
then determine your own risk and SL and let that give you your LS.

there is an EA that monitors that risk, dig more in the thread.

we have some red news today that may either help our sail southward or turn it against us.

But do you know what the bible says? "He that observes the wind shall not sow; and he that regards the clouds shall not reap." - Ecclesiastics 11:4

Here we sow always, windy or not and we maintain our risk tolerance level. We are not afraid of the wind or should I say news now.

It's only H4 behaving like this. Every other chart is fine. Opened few extra in different TF and they are also ok. It's only the H4 causing troubles

looks like there is actually something wrong with the history anyway. The other offline chart with c5 h4 has only 1007 bars while the usual one I was using has almost five times of that. Even the other C5 charts in different tf do not have so many bars as the kos5 h4 in my mt4. Does anyone know how to reset the history count for one of the charts?

C5 h4 is working fine with 1000 bars its only kos5 h4 is causing problems so I switched from kos5h4 to c5h4 and it's working fine. Changing the number of bars its not helping. I will stick to C5h4 as I have mentioned before
