{quote} Oh cool, thanks. Weren't a couple people trying to backtest this strategy too? Do we have any info on that as well?
Smoothtrader was planning to make basktests using 1 hour high / low data from 2012 to present I am not sure if he still is? I have tried and have an automated spreadsheet that you would just need to copy and paste a date for each weeks backtest. My problem however is the data.

I originally used Smoothtraders 1 hour data and split it up into years for each pairs high low price. I was going to post it until I found the data corrupt from Dukascopy. So I then downloaded a number of years data again and found that data corrupt. I think if you download the data year by year you would need to check it for inconsistencies. You would be looking for data that has zero volume during Mon to Fri and then download that section again for the 28 pairs.

I now don’t have the time to do this but if anybody is willing to step up and prepare the date exactly in the format attached I then can post the backtest workbook for what ever years data you have. It shouldn’t take long for me to do check it and then everyone can use it to check the signals results from 2012 onwards with each pair plotted hour by hour for each week. You will also be able to see what ever starting time Mon to Friday from the weekly CCFP signal you want and hopefully then come up with a solid trading plan going forward.

Any takers? PM me if you need more info so as not to clutter up the thread.

{quote} Hello Jess, Please find below the original image and one I've just taken showing the extra bits you requested. I managed to rectify the time issue myself which is why I deleted that post. By replacing the"0" against "LocalGMToffset" in Global Variables with 1 and then resetting the EA it all displayed as it should. In practice I prefer GMT Current Hour showing BST as, as I am in the UK, it shows me the correct time for London open without my having to remember to adjust for Daylight Saving, but that's just me. Keep up the good work, it's...
Thank you so much. I am going to study this.

The most important thing is that the brokerGMTOffset be correct. The localGMOffSet is just for reference and not really used.
What I am testing is to see of the conditions of DST (on/off) and BST(on/off) are monitored and correctly assessed by the EA.
IT seems that it is working... I think... but with the info you provide I will make a better determination.

Thnx
Jess

berry do the same thing I told you. Since you are using v18.1 you need to make sure that the global variables are removed and then you can restart the EA.

This is the order in which you apply the indicator and EA.

1. Hit F3 (Tools==>Global Variables) and erase all the variables that start with "xm7"
2. Open a chart, any chart and set it to M1 Time Frame
3. Apply the templage called CCFpWEEKLYtemplate.tpl on to the chart
4. Apply the ccfp_trademonitor EA and enter the inputs you which to have.

If you use v33 it's a little easier to erase the variables you just hit the "Reset Globals" button and reload the EA.

Also important make sure to set your StartProfitLockAt to at least 100 pips and your TrailingLockEvery to at least 50 pips
otherwise the same will happen to your basket as it did last time. The basket will close TOO fast and noting will happen after that

Hello Jess, I omitted to say in my previous post that the "0" was replaced with 1, hope that wasn't too confusing
No problem.. I saw that and took note of it.
But you know LOL now that you mention it could you show me a screen shot with it set back to 1 ? LOL

Folks.
This is to answer many that ask "Why can't I open a new basket, after this one closes" or "Why can'y u just make it so we can open a new basket on same day"

Please read the original instructions. The EA was developed to mimic those steps. In particular:
8.If your basket take profit=500pips is hit before Friday ,dont open any more positions.Wait for next week Monday and repeat the process again.If basket stop loss=200pips is hit before Friday dont open any more positions until next week Monday.

So as you can see once a basket is closed you are supposed to SIT ON YOUR HANDS . That is what the EA mimics.
We added the ability to allow for the basket to be reopened on the next day cause there was a request for daily basket activity. So in the same manner the once that type of basket is closed it should not open till the next day.

I really recommend that the EA stick to the rules. So far, as you have seen, my baskets have produces great results. In my case I don't necessarily wait for the 500 pips Target, I just close the basket when I see >7% profit. The results have worked excellent so far. Over 16% in 2 weeks, not too bad.
https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...96#post9710496
BTW I forget to mention it is a live account, I always test forward using a live account.

So hang in their, and sit on your hands LOL Let the EA do what it does and when u see an opportunity take the PROFIT.

By the once we have cleared the EA I plan to add a TargetPercentProfit input. That will alleviate me from having to monitor it myself.

Peace
Jess

{quote} Sure will Xmess7. {file} Would it be possible to put a space either side of the = signs in the Basket: Pip Gain = -nnn pips %Gain = -nnn% in the next release please Jess? I didn't see the negative sign/ My earlier post should have read, just crawling back past -250 pips
The negative sign does show up, the problem is the font. It's small. I am going try different fonts to see which one fits and also produces a better "-" sign

I am hesitant to use colors. The reason is, cause if I use red letters to show a negative value that will automatically set in your mind like a sort negative alarm. That will can affect your calmness and cause you to not allow the EA to do it's thing. I have found that lime green for +pips and plain white for -pips really helps you, especially if the trade is negative. You don't jump to do crazy stuff. The kinda stuff that later you say "IF I had only been more patient".

I'm working on developing an automated Excel WorkBook that can do all of the calculations and build a database of results without having to cut and paste. It is getting much closer to completion, and I hope to have something working by this weekend. I would love to say that it has been all my own programing, but that wouldn't be true. I am working with a couple of programmers overseas that are assisting me.

Once that is complete, I plan on moving down to the 1 minute timeframe for even more accuracy. It will be at that time that I will ask for suggestions for ways to test the data.

Just as most everyone else, my basket (false, false, 10:00 GMT, 300 SL, 900 TP) hit the SL. Now I'm waiting for next week's signals.

GREEN pips to one and all.

Hi, Xmess7,
That was a great result. So I guess you just trade once per week and sticked to the original rule of the strategy. Could I ask what is your input in the EA? It is also a good idea to add a target percentage profit into the EA. Thanks for your effort.

Hi everyone, our TP been reached again this morning again .... still with 300 sl and 200 tp ...
Open time is 9h00 london time ....
so it bring me to 1235 pips as you can see on the excel sheet i done for myself ...
I didn't include the % and account balance and everuthing because it belongs to everyone to risk what they are up to .
But the pips count show the potential of the system.
So i will keep posting my results .... Thedenus also is testing with me on that . Sometime with just an half hours diference on the open and it make a big difference .
9h00 London time is the best we found until now .
i wish you tons of pips !!
Alex

Hi!
This is my results for today. Almost the same as Agagukalex but with a different open time.
It's working very well that way for the last 3 weeks (200-250 pips/day). We hit our SL only once...
So, one trade/day, no matter what set on 10080.

GREEN pips for you all!!!!
