{quote} Salut agagukalex, Question for you on your twist on the strategy...I know it is still early but could you give me an idea of how many pairs the CCFP 10080 is throwing up for you each morning? I am running on a 50:1 broker like you and would only safely/comfortably be able to run about 10 pairs due to margin so I was thinking about using a strategy like has been suggested over the last 24 hours about being selective about what pairs to trade. Just so I am clear...you re-run CCFP 10080 every morning and just trade the pairs that show up, correct?...
Hey seekpips:
Just wanted to let you know that the EA is aware of how much margin you have. So if you run out of margin the EA will simple not take anymore trades.
So even if you have a smaller balance and the EA requires more margin due to ,say, it trying to open 13 pairs. The EA will open as many as it can before stopping due to not enough margin.

In essence you can run on a smaller account balance using 1:50 margin but the basket may ended up with less open trades than what the ccfp-diff indicator is recommending.

Hi everybody . as i see , there is a lot of ways to trade the EA !!! For myself , as i said earlier in the week , i am trading with 200 TP and 300 SL .... because of a problem with my v18.1 version logg to file feature , i am not able to show the graphs . Before somebody says something about my MM with 300 sl and 200 tp , i know it is not that efficient in normal trading , but with this basket trading EA,it apear to be good until now ... So this week i made 900 pips , so monday , tuesday , wednesday and thursday tp 200 was reached without going...

{quote} I don't understand, if you have 1700 profit pips with 0.1 lot, this would not be 1700 GBP/USD profit? Or is the broker using bigger lots? Outstanding result though, 1700 pips...congrats!
Kezz23:
Even though he is using the same lotsize the value of $/pip is different from pair to pair. So you can't necessarily just conclude that the value is for each pair you will have $1/pip move (for a 0.1 lotsize). Some pairs will be a little more other will be a little less. Plus u got to add spread and swap.

hope that clears your doubt,

Thnx

{quote} Very wise words my good man. I would also add "Trade it/drive it/ fly it, like you stole it" Thank you and everyone who helped create such a wonderfull EA, it appears to be absolutely stellar this week. Hopefully more to come next week https://www.mql5.com/en/charts/67881...urities-london
It seems that the observation of seeing a 300 pip move before the middle of the week has again pointed us to a successful basket.

So far this observation is fairly dead on. Last week was an exception, the 300 pip move happened before the middle of the week but the basket ended up negative.
However, I noticed that I could of gotten out at BE or a little of profit, if I had noticed that right after the 300 pip the basket fell below -400 pips also before or just around the middle of the week. That was new clue, cause then, we saw the basket move up to +100 pips.. that was my moment to get out with out the loss.

So with this new idea we go forward to see if the observation still holds.

1. If before the middle of the week we see a +300 pip move that thrusts the basket into plus territory and ..
2. The basket does not fall below -300 pips before the middle of the week is over
3. We can conclude that the Basket will be profitable at the close of Friday.
Otherwise we look to get out at BE or a little positive, as soon as we detect that the Basket is close to that point.
if this is not accomplished before the end of Thursday then we look to get out at a reasonable loss... say -10% or whatever you feel is right for you.

So going forward lets see if this holds. So far the observation has failed 1/3 or a factor of 0.3333, it's early but what this means is that once about every third week the +300 pips thrust observation fails. Going forward this number will get alot smaller.

BTW I use the same input setup (except that I set the SL=700) as does Netgold777

First off, I would really like to say that this thread is very interesting and I would love to be able to learn to trade this strategy. I hate to ask basic questions but can someone please message me or email me and possibly help me with the EA's. I have tried to download both of the EA's on page one....

(which appear to have been uploaded recently) with NO success. I have never used an EA before so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong. I currently am using MT4 platform and I'm only trading a demo account currently. I did however download the Weekly Template on post #2....

That was the only thing I was able to successfully download onto MT4, however, when I open it up onto the 1 min chart, it reads "Suggestions for the 240 min TF". I thought it was for the 1 day chart? This is where I am at in the process, so if there is anyone here that would have time to help a poor soul, that would be great! Thanks!

You need to open the csv file in excel.
Then in excel you select the two columns DATE and TOTAL PIPCOUNT.
Only select those two for now cause if u do the other 2 (max and min pips) u will just get confused.

Once you have those two columns selected Proceed to select the following in the image.

When u click on that icon I point too in the image, you will get many selections... just select the first one.
If you decide to save it and don't want to interrupt the file from receiving more data, just save it as an xlxs file, you can use the same name or your own.
You can always go back to the csv file and repeat the steps to develop a new chart.
Once the week is done, like now, you can move file or rename it. The EA creates a new file for next week.
NOTE: This has not been implemented on a daily basis. So for now you can do this.:
1. at End or Beginning of trading day, Open the csv file, create the chart, save the csv files as an xlxs file, rename the file.
2. Once you have saved your daily chart, delete the csv file.
The EA will create a new csv file BUT now new data is being saved.
Then the next day at the end or beginning repeat 1 and 2
This is the manual way of creating daily PIPCount Log charts

As most people I think are testing these CCFp Diff indicator signals as a basket of signals trading at certain times and on certain days. Well I’ve been thinking of the old adage “Keep your loses small and let your winners run”.

So, trade the signals as presented or by choice of strengths but do not use a basket stoploss. I know the EA has the capability to set an SL for each pair and the worst case I hope is to see a few pairs are stopped out early and the others make up for the losses and more each week. I would rather have consistency, not large swings in pips over the month but steady gains.

I was just wondering if anybody is running with this?

Obviously the setting of the SL would need researching taking in consideration your brokers spreads. I think mine are pretty good so Ill go with a 25pip SL to start with.

I going to set a basket up next week with an individual SL on each pair I hope others will join me and record results.

I advocated SL based on a fraction of ATR for each pair.

Hi Jess At one point in the week the basket was negative to the tune of nearly 600 pips. Pretty scary, not sure if my Kahoonas would have let me ride that out on a live account? But all comes to he or she who waits I suppose,..................................... Including rigor mortise

Also on Friday at one point the basket hit +1920pips and then started to decrease so I set 1600pips as a mental SL also using the Basket_Take_Profit, set at 1600 when it had dropped just below it. This was around 1500 GMT yesterday. Am not sure what happened after that, it may have gone back up towards 2K pips. I don't know. I also wonder about setting SLs or TSLs on the individual trades but then pairs like GN can move 200+ pips in a day sometimes and trigger a SL then in the next hour swing back and make 200 or 300 pips. Especially with the state of the markets at the moment due to brexit, also the eur and upcoming factors that could send that off one way or another over the next few weeks and months.

Why do we not include Goldi in the EA Guys n Gals?????

Over the weekend I want to get the spreadsheet working and will show weekly progress in the proper manner But again next week I think I will start with 700pips as a SL or even 0 SL and zero TP and see where the market goes. Again, Am not sure if I would be able to do that on a live account. But early days yet. Although I have to say that so far I am well impressed with the EA and once more thanks to yourself and all others who have contributed their time and effort to date to the EA and the ongoing testing.

Again a friendly reminder that England is switching over to Daylight Saving Time this weekend. The EA's start and end hours are based on GMT so be sure to adjust them accordingly. (If your previous setting was start 8:00 GMT your new setting {subtract 1 hour} will be 7:00 GMT, if your start was 9:00 GMT your new setting 8:00 GMT, etc.)

Have a great weekend and GREEN pips to one and all.

Hi folks:
For users of v31 all you need to do is just reload the EA. The only thing which will be affected is the brokerGMTCloseHour. So only for this week the EA will not close the trades automatically. If you do decide to continue using v31 make sure to reload the EA next week when the market opens. This way the correct BrokerGMTClosehour is detected and the EA can then close the basket at the end of the week.

With that said I am releasing v33, it should handle all the DST stuff in the background (yes for all four times of the year when the US and EURO make their changes).
I have added a couple warning and more control over the multiple basket setup. You now also have a Reset Global button, you don't need to go thru the F3 thing to reset the EA.
You can get it at:
http://xm7.info/ea/ccfp_weekly
For now I recommend that you switch to this version. Forexpinbar please upload this version to pg 1 and remove any others except for v18.3 (for now).

I tried to put as much instructions on popup windows so folks won't get surprised when they see something different.
The next version will deal with automating the daily basket open/close thing.
So let me know if there are any issues with v33.
Peace
Jess

NOTE: I have removed all of the other versions except 18.3, I don't recommend the other versions cause they still contain several bugs that v33 addresses. Even 18.3 has it's own bugs..
