Fxpinbar: I ran some tests as requested. Here are total pips gained at those settings (basket 300TP/200SL, with 125/10 Trail, opened at 10 AM london) with varying CCFp settings:

2012: -3607 to 1666 (9 out of 24 win)
2013: -4600 to 440 (2 of 24 win slightly)
2014: -3643 to 585 (2 of 24 win slightly)
2015: -849 to 2374 (18 of 24 win)
2016: 287 to 3666 (all win)

As you can see, after 2014, the edge improves, before that, quite risky. Best trading everyone. (oops, I noticed I had the TP and SL levels reversed)

One more test at basket 300/300, trail 125/25, CCFp (2 fast, slow 6, level 4). These are all april to april:

2012: +982 (596dd)
2013: -2950 (3443dd)
2014: -3467 (3534dd)
2015: +2097 (766dd)
2016: +2243 (43dd)

One could spend many months over optimizing. The bottom line is that it works now.

Good job nonlinear but what does -3607 to 1666 mean?

So, I ran 24 different combinations of CCFp settings with those fixed TP/Sl/trail levels. The worst settings produced -3607 pips, the best 1666 pips with everything else in between

I suppose 596dd means 596pips drawdown?

Thanks for the update agagukalex..You seem to be doing pretty well with your approach..Why did you close some of your trades manually if you dont mind me asking?

Hi Alex,

Do you use the same timeframe setting on your CCFp indicator which is 10080 mins, even though you are opening basket daily but not weekly? For me, I noticed that the setting 10080 mins(W1) for daily basket is better than 1440mins(D1), but I have not tested as long time as you, I tested for 3-4 days only.
Trading is not easy

Hi Folks,
Week is going to end, i refresh baskets for observation. State shortly before baskets close 19.00 GMT.

XX001: True, False
XX002: True, True
XX003: False, False
XX004: False, True

I think it's interesting to see all 4 settings of CCFp indi together, recomend this layout to the others.
See you min/max and actual pips during the runing period......

1. Open at Monday at 7.00 GMT

Another thing to be considered is whether some of those pairs could effectively be eliminated by essentially trading their resultant pair.

Hi Forexpinbar ....
The reason why i closed the trades manualy is that my goal is to stay the most i can in positive zone ... Now that said , i leave the trade all day but when it gets around 21h30 here Eastern time , i close the trade if in profit ... if not i leave it run untill it close .. if the profit is already triggered i let go until the end but if it is this time of day and PL is not triggered and profit ... i close manually...
better to get 15 or 50 pips instead of 4 hours of DEEP DD and finally gets to my sl ... but next week i will get the idea of xmess7 to open a week basket with the parameters of smoothtrader and as soon it get to the end i will come to daily basket ... we are here to test so i do it full time ...
If there is anything you wanted to suggest to me or whatever don't hesitate , i am open to all minds !!!!!
