EA update for versions 26-31 (other versions do not apply and are not affected) {quote} Folks: BillSmith discovered a simple little bug in the program. If you have baskets numbers 1,10 or 2,20 or 3 and 30 etc. When u click on the close button of say the basket that has the single digit number the other basket is also closed. Plus in addition the pip counts can be intermingled between the two baskets. So anyone that is using version 26-31 I have uploaded the same version with the fix. Please download and load the EA on your charts. The current baskets...
Hi Xmess,

Could you please advise what is the latest released/stable version? The reason I ask is you have versions 26-31 at your link you posted but post #1 has 18.3. i am currently running 18.3 and I would like to know if I should update mine at the end of this week; after my trading session.

Cheers

The basket is a 10:00 GMT, 400 pip SL, 1200 pip TP, 500 pip ProfitLock, and 200 pip TrailingLock. Well I hope that Forexpinbar's observation that when the basket equity grows by over 300 pips on Tuesday or Wednesday that the basket will continue to grow holds true this week. After acting like a heart beat, the basket finally had a nice run to the upside. Patience is a virtue, and I will gladly patiently watch a basket grow. GREEN pips to one and all. {image}
Nice graph Smoothtrader.Point of correction.The theory "when the basket equity grows by over 300 pips on Tuesday or Wednesday that the basket will continue to grow" is Xmess's theory..Wish us all green pips this week and the weeks ahead.

if im not mistaken, v31 detects the gmt time, so if that is the case he can just set the LO time to 9am

Guys, just a quick update on my EA. I have seen what I need in the past couple of weeks to start exercising a simple mm plan. So I am using that running the ccfp approach as it were on a real account. So with that said I closed out my basket yesterday at 10.68%. Done for the week, and will do it again next week. Jess
Hi Xmess7! What is the size of your trade compare to your account (as a %)? Did you increase the size of your lot to be that much profitable or is it just the setting?
I'm at 500 pips so far for this week (200 monday, 200 tuesday... and today still open), and it gives me around 5%.
Thank's!

I have set my EA up with the settings shown in the picture attached but my monitor shows 0 pip gain and I'm positive about 600 pips so I should've already been closed out now. I'm using v18.3.
Any advice?

Cheers

Edit - As I'm in trades currently, if I delete the EA, reset the global variables and re-install the EA will it continue to monitor my existing trades or will it try to start a whole new set?

Hi All

Is there a page that contains instructions on how to configure and set this up? I did read the first page, looking for instructions on the EA that manages this for you.

Thanks in advance!

Yes Bazze just as it came outta the box

Although next week I intend to try it with the 'Use Current' and 'Use Bar instead of MA', set to true. I think some people have had good results with that although don't quote me on that.

Netgold777:
The profit lock stuff is actually Forexpinbars suggestion so you can ask him as well if I am not clear.

The way the profit lock and trailing lock work is like this:
Think of the input StartProfitLockAt is used once. It is how you tell the EA WHEN to start profitlocking the basket.
So if StartProfitLockAt=100 that means that you just told the EA to start profit lock when the basket reaches +100 pips.
That is it, once that happens the StartProfitLockAt input is used no more.

So with StartProfitLockAt=100 and once the basket reaches 100 pips then the profit for the basket is locked at 50 pips.
How did I get 50 pips? Just divide the basket profit (100 pips) by 2.

After that the TrailingLockEvery input takes over. IT tells the EA when is the next moment that a new lock should be set
So if TrailingLockEver=200. You just told the EA that every 200 pips the basket gains in profit from then on to
move the lock up. Move it up to 1/2 of its current pip total.
So using the example if the basket moves 200 more pips from 100 (300 pips) then the lock is moved from 50 pips to 150 pips (300/2)
Then the next profit lock is set to to happen 200 pips more from that spot or 500 pips (300+200). IF it reaches 500 pips then the lock will be
moved from 150 pips to 250 pips (500/2). And so on.

In the image that you posted. https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...=9695420#reply
You will notice that on the chart display it says:
"Profitlock is on and locked to : 698.8 pips" ==> this means that the basket will close if it falls to 698.8 pips.
"Next Profitlock will be at 1487.6 pips" ==> this means that if the basket reaches 1487.6 pips that the lock will be moved from 698.8 pips to 743.8pips (1487.6/2)

Now I saw your inputs and man that is SOOO weird. You have set the StartProfitLockAt=1 pips and the TrailingLockEver=10 pips.
LOL it was never meant to use shuch low levels cause with baskets you usually deal with alot bigger pips.
Let me check the code but I think this is what I did. Since u set StartProfitLockAt the EA then ignores the TP cause you are asking it to now
pay attention to locking the profit. So that is why I think your basket is not closed even after it went 500 pips.
Remind me if I don't get back with you.

Hope this helps?
Jess

PS: if u are using v31 the basket will close 20 minutes before the market close on Friday. 18.3 may have the wrong time due to the DST shift, I have not verified that yet
