{quote} Not necessary. It will only make a difference when using (-) direction on a comparably high rates (like xxxjpy, or Gold rates) as the system calculate the rates by dividing 1 by the pair rate. So for USDJPY H1, suppose the Open=111.100, High=111.255 , Low=111.000, Close 111.170. When we calculate rates for JPYUSD using (-1) they will become Open=0.0090, High=0.0090, Low=0.0089, CLose=0.0089 because Offline Chart allows only for 4 digits. While if we calculate rates for JPYUSD using (-1000) they will become Open=9.0009, High=9.0090,Low=8.9883,CLose=8.9952...
Thank you for the explanation but I still don't get it. What did you subtract from 1 to get those numbers? I'm missing something.

Hi,

These are my suggestions for the Basket Manager EA.

General

  1. All orders of the same direction (buy/sell) should be treated as a single basket.
  2. All lines should be visible after terminal restart (TP, SL, J/TS, pending lines).
  3. When removed, EA should remove itself completely.

Basket Creation

  1. This should be done using an indicator and not a script so it survives terminal crashes.

GUI

  1. Six buttons - Market Buy/SEll, Stop Buy/Sell and Limit Buy/Sell
  2. BE - This will set the entire basket at BE regardless of EA's settings.
  3. BE+LOCK - This will set the entire basket at BE+LOCK regardless of EA's settings. LOCK should be define in EA's settings.
  4. TS - This should enable the TS regardless of EA's settings, meaning, TS should start when the button is clicked and not wait for TS_Start. TS settings should be defined in EA's settings.
  5. TP - This should enable the TP.
  6. SL - This should enable the SL.
  7. Close - Should close all orders, delete pending orders as well.
  8. Current Profit.

EA settings

  1. Magic number - user defined.
  2. Trade comment - user defined.
  3. BE - user defined in currency.
  4. LOCK - user defined in currency. Should be activated after BE.
  5. TS - true/false. This will enabled a regular TS behavior after Activate_TS has been reached. Should respect BE(+LOCK).
  6. Activate_TS - user defined in currency, after which, TS should start, if enabled.
  7. JTS - true/false. This will enable JTS behavior after JTS_Jump has been reached. Should respect BE(+LOCK).
  8. JTS_Jump - user defined in currency, after which, the JTS will start and if set, should respect BE(+LOCK).

Nice to have

  1. Close and Reverse.
  2. Ability to calculate pips per line, say, if you place a SL, the line should either show the SL in currency or be able to use MT4's crosshair utility to measure the distance.
  3. Complex MA/ATR/whatever closure/trailing
  4. Fonts and colors for the buttons and lines.


Thank you! And if I can help in anyway, please let me know.

EDIT:
Changed the "Current Profit" to reflect current profit only and not divide it into buy and sell baskets, if one wants to hedge, it's still the same basket.

Hi,

Do you know when you'd continue working on the Basket EA, please? I just had JPY7 closed for no apparent reason but there was a SL there a few days ago which I removed but the EA still remembered it.

I really like this EA and it's one of the best out there in terms of pending orders but I feel it needs a bit more TLC to become better and more stable.

For the time being, I'm going to let my other basket trades play out and than remove the EA from my live charts. I really hope you find some time to at least fix this EA if not create a new and better one (I've posted some ideas for one earlier).


Thanks.

Hello abokwaik.

I hope you find this worth your time.

I'm studying the major 8 pairs, and looking at ways to measure each currency's strength, this seems very similar to what is done here using the baskets. My idea is this:

Each pair is measured based on its current price, open and close.

Example: GBPJPY (current price > open) = 1 else = 0 giving a total of 7 assuming this is the same across GBPAUD, GBPCHF, GBPCAD, GBPNZD & GBPUSD (opposite for EURGBP of course).

The same is done for other pairs.

I would like an indicator to show these numbers above & below each candle (see attached picture) for any pair it is attached to, this value will be dynamic for the current bar as it adapts to current price changes but static for previous bars.

I want to study the effect of current and past strength. I have an EA that does something close but as I use an expert builder it drains PC resources I can share if you wish.

Great job as always

Each chart has 2 currencies, So for EURUSD chart it should show EUR strength above the bar, and USD strength below the bar ?

Err I think there is an error in the calculation.

In the picture below [a GBPJPY chart]:

JPY finished at 7: This should mean it was a bear bar in ALL 7 of the currency pairs (which isn't possible as the GBPJPY candle was UP)

I should explain with a better example.

Say on the current candle all 7 crossed pairs compared to its open we have

GBPAUD = up +1 for JPY: AUDJPY = dn+1
GBPCAD = up +1 CADJPY = dn+1
GBPCHF = up +1 CHFJPY = dn+1
EURGBP = dn+1 EURJPY = dn+1
GBPJPY = dn +0 GBPJPY = dn+1
GBPUSD = up +1 NZDJPY = dn+1
GBPNZD = up +1 USDJPY = dn+1

Here GBP = 6 and JPY = 7

If the candle should close without change then we will see these values on a bear bar (previous bar)

Which TF, and Time.
I will check at my side.

You know doji candles might print differently on different brokers.

I couldn't verify the accuracy for GBP but for JPY those marked X are definitely off, may be more

P.S: I watched the calculation go off even on the current candle

Everything looks OK. One minor addition I hope.

Can you include lookback bars as an external input

Also I used; variable type [bool], input name [Show_Lables], Value [false] when using iCustom, indicator shows in tester but conditions didn't work
