{quote} Hi Ray, Nice work with the live pips. Can I ask the steps you take to take pips daily, when you have the indicator CCFp-Diff set to weekly? Is it as simple as turning autotrade off once you hit 150 pips and if so, what time do you restart? Many thanks Marto
Marto24:
Just FYI
There is a button called "Close All Trades". You click on that when you want to close and open basket.
Once you do that the EA wait's till next week or day (whichever way u have it setup) to start a new basket.
So, the EA is not turned off it is still active, well as long as you have the EA on the chart that is.

Hey retina:
As ajs points out. Those numbers correspond to different users. So each user has a different style. I think the spread sheet tells you. right ajs?

BTW see your PM. Let me know if you are interested in that code I was messing with some time ago. You are more than welcome to take a look at it.

Peace
Jess

Hi
it all depends on the price action i am seeing, i view the pairs in the basket seperately and then pull the trigger, so i have no preffered time, its something that just takes practise, my honest advice to anyone is just trade the basket as it is, as it is an excellent tool
green pips to all

xmess7 If I press the close all will it close just the basket for that ea or close all trades on my mt4?

xmess7, sorry.

Don't I feel the doughnut, asking the question whilst staring at the monitor with the 'close trades' button sitting there clear as day :-(

You guys are incredibly generous and patient, sharing years of experience with us newbies!!

Thank you.

Hi

i did try entering trades a few weeks but not lucky with good results.

I think it it related to when I placed those trades after loading up the Ccfp diff indicator.

I did try during the week and they are against my order.

Hi Everyone,

This is not a biggy, but annoying more than anything, so any advice on how to fix would be welcome. I have merely used the template in page 1 and the indicators appear a little squashed (see attached). How do I make them larger so they appear more clear?

Thanks in advance

Yep, that was fixed many versions ago. The EA will only close the trades that are associated with the magic number that is on the chart. v35 shows the magic number at the top right after "Basket".

Make sure that you are using v35. If you still have that problem turn over to v18.3.
This issue may be that the EA cannot get to a website. The EA gets it's GMT info (market close/open and GMT hour) from a website. If the website for whatever reason is not responding the EA tends to hang and that is why u see the happy face appear but not the display and why it is laggy. I am only assuming that this may be the problem. v36 will deal with this issue..... I don't have the source on me at the moment, I'll PM u and send u the website that the EA is looking for to test and make sure you can see it.

In the meantime make sure you do this.
Remove all the globals from each broker terminal. Hit F3 and on the window that pops up delete anything that starts with "xm7".
unload the EA or simple close the charts and start with new chart.
Open any chart to M1
Apply the templage CCFpWEEKLYTEMPLATE
Apply the EA and set the inputs.
Let me know if u still get lag issue or no display. Please PM me ok?
Thnx

Well done Ray, given that my home base is NZ, I'm going to ditto the same, I did the same thing with the Tokyo open today and got some quick dollars, this is a whole lot better approach, rather than getting up in the middle of the night to manage trades during UK and USA.

Cheers, Don.

Greetings everyone.

I have been following this thread from the very start but this is my first post, (in a few years...). I have been forward testing this EA on my live account and I'm very happy with what I see so far. Thank you for all the contributions to the thread! This EA has been significantly improving with every version. I trade similarly to agagukalex. I use the default settings from the original template but I enter the basket using the weekly signals every day roughly 1hr to 40 minutes before the London open. I use a TP of 300 and SL of 260 to even out my R:R after all the entry costs (spread, commissions, slippage, etc) So far it has been working well and I try not to trade on Fridays, or at least stick to smaller targets.

I have a couple of suggestions (for agagukalex) and wishlist (for xmess7).
1) Considering we enter the basket daily, we are basically closing and reopening similar positions on the following day. What if on Tuesday instead of entering at a specific time we entered the basket when the pairs we are trading retraced a bit. How can we keep track of these Retracements? If we were trading just 2 or 3 pairs we could set targets when the currencies moved a specific amount but we're dealing with 12 pairs here (at least I am with my settings) So here is what I suggest. On Tuesday open a basket with a very small position at your favorite time of day, say 1 microlot and when the basket P&L is at minus 100 pips (just for example) open your 2nd (larger basket). This way you have a better entry. I have to say my baskets usually go down at least 100 pips before they go back up and hit my target TP. You can even open the basket on a demo account if you feel like running 2 MT4's at the same time. Or just run the demo and switch to live as soon as you see -100 pips.

2) If the above suggestion makes sense, lets attempt to simplify the process. How do we know we are at -100 pips so we can open our second (real money) basket?
a) We can stare at the screen all day
b) We have a nice feature with alerts on the recent version of the EA.
c) Wishlist for xmess7. What if I'mm working/sleeping/not near my phone/lazy and I don't get a chance to catch this retracement to open a 2nd basket.
Could we potentially add functionality to the EA to open a 2nd basket when PNL of the 1st basket is = to a certain number of negative pips. What do you think Xmess7, do you think it would be worth it to add such functionality to the ea? Even traders who trade once a week could use this feature since the also could enter on a nice retracement. And if the retracement doesn't happen, oh well, the market will always be there tomorrow, we won't chase the trade. You can open the 2nd basket with a brand new magic number, say 1st basket's magic number + 1 (or can we even add a letter to a magic number? ex. 123456a?) The 2nd basket should have its own independent and TP and SL not related to the 1st basket. I'm guessing this should be too complicated since the 2nd basket will have its own unique magic number.
d) Some people are not comfortable entering trades when the market is going in the wrong direction (initially) and rather jump on the trend. Hence we can introduce a feature where a 2nd basket is opened when the PNL is + 100pips on the 1st basket rather than -100 pips. (aka. adding to a winning position rather than a loosing position) This way you can code for "Pip Target Entry" parameter to be either positive or negative, depending on the trader's style.

Thanks in advance for entertaining my ideas. Green pips to all!

Cheers, EurTrender.

Could you check and see if you have this font in your system?
It is called "Times Roman" and is found in the directory
c:\windows\fonts

Let me finish this EA... we are close now. There are a couple of more things to deal with but I think it is starting to do what it is suppose to do.

HEre are the ways that we could handle this:
1. Create a virtual basket, that is displayed on the same chart, you would see the total pip count for this basket. Then we can use that to determine when to enter.
2. Create an input that where you can deactivate the trading function. This would then be your virtual basket. You then have at the same time another basket open with the trading "on" and that would minitor the pips of the virtual basket that has the trade feature off.
3. create a socket that would connect to MT4s. One MT4 would publish to the other MT4 whatever it needed, in this case pip count of a basket you designate.

The easiet would be #2 but you would have to have to charts open, so if u are doing multiple baskets you would have to have twice the number of charts open.

#3 is ok but it's OVERLOAD lol. That is more useful for creating a trade copier situation. Which BTW I create my own which is REAL FAST LOL

#1 Believe it or not back around version 9, I made a prototype for forexpinbar to test. version 9.1. Yep I still got it to but it needs more code and alot of testing.

I don't know when I will get to it. Right now we just need to get this EA settled. So I'll let you know when and what and where... and why LOL.

Thanks for the super quick reply Xmess7. I think I like option 2. But I would also like option 4....create an actual 2nd real basket. This way if the market runs away into profit with the small basket and never looks back to activate the 2nd basket, at least you still take some profit home. I would probably think about breaking my trade into 2 pieces, 25% into basket 1 and 75% into basket 2. But these are just ideas, and this EA is your baby . Lets get the EA settled first like you said and then perhaps we can add some bells and whistles! Feel free to PM me about these in the future so we don't busy up this thread. Thanks for all your hard work on this project!

Cheers, EurTrader.

The EA is just my development of Forexpinbars idea. Like I said once I am done and it is working I will release it as open source.
Then you can have others add even more stuff to it or improve it make it super fast that it takes trades before the signals appear LOL
