{quote} Xmess7, I am sorry but last week your results was based in FALSE/FALSE... today is based in TRUE/FALSE. Today FALSE/FALSE hit 600 pips SL. So you cannot say that you are in 5th straight week in profit. Please correct if I am wrong.
scali you are correct in that I changed the setting to TRUE/FALSE last week. This week I left that alone at TRUE/FALSE, but the streak is real. See my equity curve. Go back 3 weeks and you will see in each week post where i stipulate the progress of my basket. I am usually done by Monday of each week around 24 GMT. This week I opened the basket on Tuesday, cause Monday was a bank holiday in Europe.

Folks: I don't know why the CCFP-Diff indicator does what it does. I know how it is getting the CCFP diffs but why it is affected the way it does when u change UseCurrent from TRUE to FALSE or vice versa, I don't.

Mr Ferrufx if you could shed some light on it, it would be appreciated.
The question would be what is the purpose of UseCurrent and how does it affect the selection of the pairs.
In addition, if you find if in the code there is recourse from some instable condition you may consider looking into that. sometimes changing or reloading causes an unstable condition and the indicator then reacts different and thereby produces different results. LOL that's what happen to this EA, so I have tried to mitigate ALL the different scenarios that would cause instability. I know I won't get all of them cause very often users will do things that are not suppose to be done LOL.

Thank you
Jess

{quote} Great results! I see you are now using W1 current? So, the settings are True - False? Cheers!
Always have used W1. Only last week I changed the indicator to UseCurrent=True

My setup is essentially what is on pg1.

Hi all. Still experimenting with settings. Today I used my normal False False 200 TP, 300 SL on the daily and have been experimenting with profit lock setting. Managed to get 57 pips opening at 9 GMT. Not great but still profitable and like I said, experimenting with profit lock settings. My next basket I used False True 300 TP, 300 SL opened at 9 GMT. Hit my TP about an hour ago. Total for the day: 357 Awesome system!! Thanks to Xmess, Forexpinbar for the EA and system and thanks to Alex for the help and brainstorming with the daily. Keep it up...
ron PM me and let me know if profit lock is working. Alex was having problems with that. Just need to see if your setup has anything to do with that

I use the indis and ea very often in other broker and i know that it works in this once but i open it a micro account and it have the name micro in the front of the assets any idiea how to put the ea and indi at work?{image}
MsMAX!

Could u please do me a favor? Create another Demo for that broker. Send me the logn and password and the SERVER name.

This way I can connect to the broker and do my own testing to see why it does not open the basket.

Thnx

Folks look at the images below. I am using UseCurrent = TRUE.
This is just today, ok? The first image was just after I closed the basket.
The next image is several hours AFTER. See how the basket has changed.

I don't know if this is true when you have UseCurrent= False.

Image 1 is just after I closed the basket.... image 2 is several hours later

This is exactly what is confusing me. Every other time that I've used False / False settings, the signals never change. Starting a couple weeks ago I think, the signals under False / False just stopped "updating" for me. Hoping the FerruFX can give some clarification. Txs!!

Thank you Xmess7,

I believe it is real.
Is there any reason why you change from FALSE/FALSE to TRUE/FALSE?

For what it's worth, my total results for today from two different demo accounts using the 4 chart system. I already cleared my variables for each chart but before I did, I noticed that the FF performed the worst. I was using ver 36.3. {image} {image}
Hi,

It's because CCFp indi doesn't work properly at symbols with preffix/suffix eg. AUDUSDmicro.
It causes "zero divide" error, see you at Terminal at Expert and Journal sheet report.

On preffix / suffix accounts indicator sometimes seems to work (showing histogram), sometimes doesn't work at all, but in everycase works bad!

There is also differencies between different brokers bacause different data feeds and GMT broker times.

I too saw that the list was different so I just tried it out. no logic, just experimenting.
But from now on I will keep it TRUE/FALSE until we find out what is really happening.

Ok then here is a simple solution, in the mean time that Ferrufx makes that change. Find broker that has good signals for the indicator. What I mean is that the indicator works properly and then copy the signals to the broker you are interested in trading with.

Ferrufx: I know you can do it, but if yer feeling lazy I can provide the function that handles the pre and suffixes. Just PM me and I'll send ya the function code.

that way u just plop it into the indicator, do some testing, and voala... indi is able to detect any broker symbol name.

Plus if u do that I get to remove that from the EA,,, LOL EA wont need it anymore

Thanks for your explanation. One of my demo brokers uses 'pro' as a suffix.

Hello all, I have some questions that I couldn't figure out from the thread.

I have setup the 1min chart with the CCFo-Diff v2.0 indicator, version 36.3 EA and the weekly template. I set it all with default settings, I am on gmt +2 and opened MT4 at around 10 AM. No trades opened that day. Is it because I didnt have it open from early in the morning? (I have set up correctly the autotrade functionality) Today I changed trade mode to daily and all positions opened immediately. Daily mode opens positions in the morning and closes them at night? What is the use of daily mode?

Also what is the use of the dashboard if I have set it up to auto trade? Can someone please clarify these points?

Hi all...I found this very interesting article by James Edward on buying currency strength(strong currency) and sell currency weakness(weak currency) since the CCFp indicator is based on buying strong currency and sell weak currency , I thought this article might benefit some of us....Article makes a lot of sense..FYI I am not affiliated to topshelftraders.com or James Edward..Enjoy..

{quote} ... please throw more light on the histogram and its values...
The histograms are taking the original CCFp indicator lines as reference. Difference between the 2 last closed candles. I didn't reinvented the wheel!

I set it all with default settings, I am on gmt +2 and opened MT4 at around 10 AM. No trades opened that day. Is it because I didnt have it open from early in the morning? (I have set up correctly the autotrade functionality) Today I changed trade mode to daily and all positions opened immediately. Daily mode opens positions in the morning and closes them at night? What...

tzic:

The EA will open a new basket the GMT Day and GMT hour u indicate in the inputs.
IF the EA closes due to TP/SL or you close it with the BUTTON then the EA WILL not open another basket until next week at the same day and hour.
If you are using daily then it will open a basket at the hour you indicate. If again the EA is closed as i indicate above it will not open anything until the next day at the same hour. In either case the EA will close all trades that are open either Friday when u indicate on the input FridayMarketCloseHour or each GMT day at 23:59.

Now, if you want to be able to open a new basket immediately regardless of what I just said then you need to click on the RESET button and reload the EA.
That will set the EA to start all over. Remember if u want to see trades open you need to set your hour ahead not not behind LOL. For example say that GMT time is 11:14. If u are using Weekly all u need to do is set the correct GMT day (be aware that if u are behind GMT that day may be ahead of you and vice versa), and just set the hour to 11:15. Then u wait one minute to see the basket open up.

I can hardly wait till I Get the Vanilla_Montor EA out. Any new person will autimatically be directed to that ea LOL. The only question they will probably have is time and day LOL
