{quote} Hi xmwss7 18.1 not working for me. not opening trades. why?
Before I answer thy question ....
Did u do the following?

1. Open a chart (any chart but lets say u used GBPJPY M1).
2. Did u apply the template CCFPWeeklyTemplate?
3. After 1 and 2 did u then apply the EA?

Ok then in your inputs what settings do u have for
OpenGMTHour ?

{quote} Hi Smooth Trader My TP was at 3000 Pips, I PM xmess7 Thank You {image}
My My.. YOU BROKE THE BANK! LOL

Very interesting that the EA did not display the correct pip count.
U see all the EA does is loop thru each of pairs and adds up the pips.
Then the number is displayed as a string. Now you may think that the EA does not have the correct number and when the basket hits +3000 pips
that it will not close it. In fact... you can test it. Set the TP to just below what you have right now and the basket should close.

So the only issue here is just they way the number is displayed as TEXT. I think the problem may be that I normalize it before I convert it to a text.

Thnx for the find... Easy fix....IT WILL BE FIXEd .

Just make sure to PM me if u find anything else wrong.

Hi all Was reading the Thread a while and started Monday with a basked, was running well so far, up to 1000 Pips, but then the EA showed at "Basket Pip Gain= 0,00". Is this normal? Does it count only up to 1000? After that I closed the Basket. Did I miss something? {image} {image}

So you used the CCFp with input setting TF = 1440 for trading daily baskets?

Great results! I will start using it starting next week and also report any bugs on EA if I find.
From what i see the original strategy was to open basket on Monday and close on Friday - one basket per week.

I guess you opened every morning a basket and close it at the end of the day? So, basket day trading? Your results are very impressive, if in profit maybe a bit safer than being exposed 5 days to the market?

Cheers!

I assume by daily baskets you're meaning intraday trading so then you could also try 240 timeframe instead of 1440 for intraday. In particular, I found the closed H4 08:00 GMT+2 candle to be good for giving intraday signals.

Hello all saavy excel persons out here..You know yourselves lol...This is actually an idea that I think is worth pursuing..I think that if we intend to code an Excel to backtest this strategy , we need to add a GMT filter so that we can be able to run backtests of different GMT entries of basket in the Excel backtester and compare results.Timing I think is everything..Entering basket on Mondays at different GMT times gives different results.This way we can know for sure what GMT time is best to enter baskets every Monday.Let me know what you think..Cheers

i think i must be doing something wrong here,
but the EA won't open my trades at the specified time...
see below screen shots

the first screen shot is the ea set to open trades as soon as the daily bar ended yesterday..

second screen shot is the settings i used for the first EA.

the third screen shot is the EA set to open trades at 9 am GMT

fourth screen shot is the settings for the 2nd EA

now the EA set to open trades as soon as the Daily bar ends worked but the EA set to open trades at 9 am GMT didn't work???

can any one tell me what i did wrong?

billsmith,

Not sure if this makes a difference, but try this.

I noticed that you had 9:00
instead try 09:00

Time may require 4 digits 00:00

It should work on Monday since the correct format is "HH:mm" as brucech suggested.

although the EA didn't open any trades with the below settings - is this because i am running the 2 EA's on the same terminal account?

{quote} You opened your basket 14:30 gmt and was able to collect 1000pips?Thats awesome..Its clear now that time of entry of basket should not underestimated.
I start trading at lunchtime.(Austria) So I've tried at GMT 2:30 pm, Today the Basket would have been a little less so far, about 300 Pips
I believe that the time to start the basket is not so important, as the market changes, the results will change continuously. For the last 3 months at a certain time, the next 3 months can change the result quickly.

I am also curious about how the weekly basket is performing. Maybe an invitation is required to view it but I know sometimes it is public.
