Will only go live when I have forward tested it for long and it shows consistent profitability..Same applies to the monthly , weekly and daily variations of the CCFp strategy.

what is considered "Long" when forward testing? And, by forward testing i'm assuming your talking about trading the live market on a demo account?

In my personal opinion , i think 1 year of forward testing is enough to prove to me whether a system is profitable or not before I can decide to go live..If its proves profitable after 1 year of forward testing then I can go live but even that I will start with a small account..As small as $100..Yes by forward testing I mean trading the strategy in a demo account.

Finally the EA opened a basket successfully for me, but I have only 8 pairs on the left of my chart, what is the reason? My broker not only offer these 8 pairs.

The CCFP indicator only shows 8 pairs so the EA opened only 8.
Only those 8 pairs are shown by indicator because only these are meeting the indicator requirements and filtering. Last week there were 12 for ex, next week maybe 16, maybe 6...

The signals in your screen are ok.

Cheers!

Hi Folks...I just wanted to point this very useful tool in Xmess EA..The "ACCOUNT MARGIN IN USE" feature in Xmess EA can be used to calculate your broker stop out level..In the screenshot the numbers :

1=Account Margin in use
=$328.02

2=Account Equity
=$3251.03

Assuming my broker stop out level=50%

My broker stop out level in dollar amount($) = 50% x $328.02
=$164.01

What this means is that if my account equity($3251.03) drops to $164.01 , at this point my trades will be closed automatically by my broker starting at the ones which are failing the most badly. If necessary, all of my trades will be shut down in order to meet the minimum margin requirement.

That is why I urge us all to use SmoothTrader's Excel weekly position size calculator on the first post of this thread ,to calculate our lot size for each individual pair in the basket and enter the lot size in Xmess CCFP EA to enter the baskets at our specified GMT time. Proper money management is very essential in any strategy..Without proper money management , even a profitable strategy can turn into a loser..Wishing us all green pips this week.

Now the basket is running well, 90++ pis now. Guys, if you are trading using Daily mode, would you use 500pips as TP? My opinion is it is quite hard to reach 500 pips within a day, right? I am thinking of setting TP as 150 and SL as 75 pips, how do you guys think?

Hi Xmess7, Just wanted to check in and let you know that V36 is ticking along nicely. I'm forward testing on a live account, closing my baskets daily, something similar to what agagukalex is doing. I'm looking forward to that virtual basket on V37 that you gave us a sneak peak on. I"m assuming there will be an option to automatically enter a basket as soon as the virtual basket reaches a set number of (negative or positive) pips. I have one more item for the wishlist. Can we have an option to turn off comments in the comments column in mt4? Currently...
NOTE: I misunderstood his question and answered it in post 2596, but if anyone is interested in the LOG deletion thing let me know.

Are you talking about the Experts Log Tab ?? Make sure that PringDebugInfo=false on your inputs.

The only way to "remove" the "comments" as you say, is to delete the log filse. Even then only the log files from yesterday and before can be deleted, not the today's cause it is being used by MT4.

So if there is any interest in having the EA delete log files like say once a week, let me know and I will add that to v37.

What is the benefit? It just clears out those folders logs/ and MQL4/Logs and makes more room on your PC. Sometimes the folder can build up to many mega so some folks may need that extra space.

That seems reasonable to me. Test it and share results.

OH you are talking about the comments column under the trade monitor tab. I see.
Well may I ask why you want that comment off? The EA uses the comments in conjunction with the magic number to identify each basket that a user wants to create. This way you can have the SAME magic number on another EA and this EA will still recognize it's trades and anything separate from that other EA.
The comment also helps to identify in which chart the basket is located.

Not fear LOL, once I am done with v37 as final file I plan to create an original version of the EA. This original version will strictly follow the rules on pg1 and only have 5 inputs. I may be able to get rid of the comments then. This will be an EA for total newbies. So in the future when I am not around and you guys have a newbie asking all types of questions just give him this pacifier LOL. Tell them to set the day, hour, TP,SL and % target they wish for the week and to sit down on their hands LOL.

Very simple..In your screenshot ,

GMT Open Hour From Input : 00:00
GMT Day Hour: Wednesday 11:12


If for instance , you want EA to open basket at 13:00GMT , You just enter
GMT Open Hour From Input : 13:00

Hope it helps.

{quote} TradeMode=Daily GMTDayOfTheWeek= Change it everyday . For example , today is Wednesday so if you want EA to open basket today you need to change GMTDayOfTheWeek=Wednesday.Hope it helps.
Forexpinbar:
IF TradeMode=Daily you don't need to change the GMTDayofWeek manually. The EA will do that for you.
The EA will close any open basket at 23:59 GMT and open a new basket as soon as the new GMT day starts 00:00 GMT

You must SET GMT OPEN HOUR at EA to open HOUR, eg. 07:00. (now you have 00:00)

But main reason willl be probably lot size at Admirals Markets, you must set to minimum 0.1, (now you have 0.01).
You can use tepmlate at paperclip icon at topright bottom.
