{quote} xmess7 I think you misunderstood. In your ea I am only selecting 8 pairs to trade. The indicator has all 28 pairs available to to trade. So what criteria does the ea use to select the pairs to trade? Last week I had at least 3 nzd pairs. I seem to remember you talking about knowing the signals before they are refreshed. So the market close histogram and signals with the true,false should equal next week false, false signal.? If I selected to trade 8 pairs can it pick the strongest selection (biggest histogram difference) ? Also if we have...
You gotta explain to me how you can select the pairs using the EA. The EA has no criteria on it's own and there is no way you can tell it which pairs to select. The EA depends on what the CCFP-Diff indicator will produce as a suggested list on the chart. It see's the list and tries to open trades based on what the list suggests, that's all it does and nothing more. I don't see how you could select which pairs the EA decides to work on ... unless if you are doing this via the CCDFP-Diff indicator. Is that what you mean? Do you mean to say that you preselect the pairs in the input section of the CCFP-Diff indicator? If that is the case then the answer is simple. LOL
YOU are the criteria in that case LOL

I have good(?) idea: Why not put so many indis on 1 chart instead of coding a pure dashboard which shows only the signals like the CCP Diff does? In the settings the strategy setting like using Weekly, daily and H4 and the level And if it has a property like: Actual candle and if the candle is >0 a calculation for historical success for a given TP/SL Then you can calculate automatically instead of collection hours the data here!...
Dude you always have good ideas LOL

{quote} So when we have a histogram for sell and buy both the same strength what do you do? Disable the indicator for that pair and take the others?
In the exemple that you post, NZD is at 4 in the buy zone and CHF is at 6 in sell. You got a very strong gap between the currency. They have to be in the opposite way to buy or sell the first currency. In this case, buy NZD. Check the stronger one for the exemple. EURGBP is in sell because EUR is at 10 in sell against 9 in buy for GBP.

I'm not sure to see what you see if you think there is an error.

Feel free to PM me if I don't understand what you said.

EA v36 release

http://xm7.info/ea/ccfp_weekly/xm7_C...onitor_v36.ex4

Remember to clear all globals manually.. hit F3 and remove all variables that start with "xm7"

Folks:
Many updates to this one. Alot do with improvements and others that handle weird situations. The list is long so I will generalize and point out the important ones.

1. Update should handle the part where it leaves the PipGain stats on the chart after a basket has closed. Note: if you unload the EA the chart will reset.
2. Many inputs names were changed for clarity and changed positions.
3. TargetPercentProfit was removed. A new input Set_Basket_SL_TP_Targets_in allows you to select if you want to handle the TP/SL targets for the basket in pips or % of balance gain (see Image below)
4. Added Basket_Manual_Profit_Lock, this allows the user to set a Lock level that the EA will not allow the basket to fall to before closing the trades. This can only be positive, so if your basket is negative and you have this set, the EA will warn you and suggest that you use an alert to tell you when the basket is positive so you can set the manual lock then
5. PipGain is now logged every 1M, so you now get a much smoother curve
6. Update now handles those timezones that are either 45 or 30 minutes off instead of a full hour.
7. Updated PrintDebugInfo. EA now prints debug info once ever hour. This way we don't get those repetative prints and the logs won't get too large. (see image below)

If you only want to have certain pair available to trade then you make that choice in the CCFp indicator. I chose only to trade JPY pairs. So I set all JPY pairs to TRUE and all of the rest to FALSE. Then the CCFp will now match up the STRONG WITH THE WEAK of the JPY Pairs... So JPY is STRONG and the indicator will match it with the only the ones that are 2 or over WEAK.
Hope this helps.

{quote} Forexpinbar, Out of the backtests you ran is there any pair or pairs that standout as mostly ending negative to what the indicator signal generated?
I have not taken note but now that you mentioned I guess I have to start taking note..Thanks for asking.

Hi all..SmoothTrader was kind enough to share his EXCEL Workbook(semi automated backtester) here https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...87#post9737287 that took weeks to complete not to mention the time and effort that was put into making this workbook a success..He did this willingly did this..I dont think we expect SmoothTrader to run backtests for us and share results with us because he is already given us the tool we need to run our own backtest...I urge us all to run backtests in SmoothTrader's workbook with different GMT entry and exit , different basket stop loss , basket take profit etc and share results for further analysis.All hands on deck.We have something good going on here but we need all the possible backtests and forward tests data we can collect for further analysis..With results from backtests of different settings and forward test of different settings , I believe we can make progress..Thank you all for your time and I hope you consider my suggestion..

agagukalex:
Good question and good thing you made me look. LOL.

With BeginLockingProfit=150, LockPercentLevel=75%, and SetLockEvery=25
When BasketProfit reaches 150 pips, the EA will set profit lock at 131.2 pips
Using LockPercentLevel=75% gives you a tight profit lock of only have about 19 pips
You want to increase the LockPercentLevel in order for the basket to have more room.

Think of LockPercentLevel as a percent of the basket profit at the moment that the EA sets it.
Like this
EA sets profit lock at LockPercentLevel% x basket_profit

Example (BeginLockingProfit=50, SetLockEvery=20,LockPercentLevel=25)

BasketProfit reaches 50 pips, EA sets lock at 0.25*50=12.5 pips
BasketProfit reaches 70 pips, EA sets lock at 0.25*70=17.5 pips
BasketProfit reaches 90 pips, EA sets lock at 0.25*90=22.5 pips
BasketProfit reaches 110 pips, EA sets lock at 0.25*110=27.5 pips
