Hi Fellow Traders,
new to this thread and Forum actually, but have been a trader for many years. I have been a fan of basket trading for some time, only manual up until now. A great thread and thanks to all the input from everybody, especially Forexpinbar for the idea! Great to see basket trading alive and well. Have read most of the posts but not all, so I apologise if this has already been spoken about, also apoligies if this is out of order.
I see a lot of talk about the indi settings and which might work best, as in FF or TF or TT etc. I had a thought while loading the indi with all 4 different settings on the 1 chart, that wouldn't it be great if the EA could look at the results of all 4 options and then trade all those pairs that appear across all 4 settings, or trade the pairs that appear twice or more, or 3 times or more, you get the drift?
Also I see the basket closing time is hard set to close on Friday! What if we could have the option to choose the closing time to be either Friday or Daily for those of us who would like to reset the basket on a daily basis?
Anyway, just my thoughts to add. Keep up the great work and once again I apologise if my comments are not relevant!

Hi Jess, ForexPinbar, other smart coders,

Now if we already have a source code of CCFp indi version 3.01, (at paperclip), please can anybody correct automatic prefix&suffix detection in forexpairs.

That's bothers a lot of people here with different brokers and cause many problems&questions.
Hope that cannot be so difficult.....

Thanks a lot guys

Hi FerruFx,

I don't know who made this file, i found it on FF.
Isn't better to let this code open here in this thread for future improvement & development to possibly found perspective solution based on?

Folks
Update to v36. Please download before market opens.

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

-Added the GMT and Broker days, so now you can tell which day that hour corresponds to (see image)

- Moved the input Basket_Manual_Profit_Lock down below BeginLockingProfit. The Basket_Manual_Profit_Lock is pips only and belongs under that cause you have to set the BeginLockingProfit in order for Basket_Manual_Profit_Lock to mean anything.

This was bugging me cause if you tell the EA in the beginning that you want to set a profit lockk of say 70 pips. The EA will close your trades the moment it opens them, why? Cause when the trades are opened the basket is already below the manual lock, so BAM the EA follows the order and closed the trades cause the profit is already BELOW the manual stop. So that is why you need to tell the EA before hand.. when to start thinking of setting the manual profit (static) lock or even the step lock(dynamic).

Please Note: The manual profit lock will override the step profit lock. That is if you had a moving profit lock once you set the manual lock the moving lock is no longer looked at.

For those of you using v36, especially those that have erased all the globals you will need to do that again when the market opens and reload the EA.
OR if you know you brokers GMT shift just go into the globals (F3 or Tool==>Global Variables) and change the value of the whatever your broker's GMT shift is.

Unfortunately During the weekend the broker's server has stopped and the hour is set to the last moment before it closed on FRiday.
The EA uses that hour to calculate the difference from GMT. So during the weekend the EA will calculate incorrectly the Broker GMT shift.

Actually you don't need to clear all the global variables. Just clear xm7_BrokerGMToffSet or set it if you know the brokers' GMT shift
and that will do it.

In v37 I will make a fix that will handle this kind of stuff

BTW v37 will have a virtual basket. You will be able to start the vbasket just like the normal one, and tell the EA to open the REAL basket when the vbakset is either below or above an input value you decide. This is for those folks that want to enter a basket when it's pips are on the down. Some one observed how far down the basket goes.. and deduced that we could have the EA look for that to happen and then enter right there to catch a better opportunity to get profit.

I have not studied and it makes sense to take note of this and see if it is consistent.

Anyhow stay tuned... almost done.. Here's a sneak peak.

Looking impressive.
One question I have regarding the V36:

For the Basket_Stop_Profit (in pips) if I want a 400 sl do I put -400 or just 400.

Thanks

I am not sure if people are aware but last weeks closed basket with the current =true is this weeks open with current = false.
So if you are using filtering criteria to trade you have all weekend to prepare.

So you mean last week's signals for

Use.Current=True
Use.Bar.Instead.Of.MA=False are this week's signals for

Use.Current=False
Use.Bar.Instead.Of.MA=False ?

Is this what you mean specifically?
