One thing to remember everyone it's the French elections this week, so any eur pair could sky rocket in either direction, so just be aware it may not be the best week to test the EA on live accounts

{quote} The EA loads them automatically. The EA is designed to mimic what you would do manually by following the rules on pg1. Pg1 rules basically state this. 1. Set an hour and the day you want a basket to be opened. 2. when that hour and day happen you look at the list of trades that are provided by the ccfp-diff indicator and open the trades as specified per each pair 3. You then wait till the basket either hits TP or SL. If by Friday the basket is still open you close all trades 1:10 minutes before the close of Market. That is it, nothing complicated....
"...and open the trades as specified per each pair." No need to reply.

{quote} Hi Gilab I use the daily settings not weekly. One basket per day. Enter time is set at 08.00 UK time (which is currently 22.53) I close the baskets all at once don't look at charts for this just profit/loss. Edit: trading max 8 pairs and have the NZ ones deleted

Hi Claudia. I have seen in your myfxbook account ( http://www.myfxbook.com/members/chilano/claudia/2069429 ) that the duration of the orders were very short. It seems that the profit objetive was variable. Did you close them manually?

France Votes for Presidential Finalists After Tight Campaign
From bloomberg.com

The French election will give the clearest indication yet if the voter rebellion that prompted the U.K.’s Brexit vote and Trump’s elevation to the White House resonates in Europe’s core. There are signs the populist wave is faltering elsewhere: voters in the Netherlands opted for Prime Minister Mark Rutte over Geert Wilders last month after Wilders’s anti-EU Freedom Party led for much of the campaign; he is not included in talks on forming a coalition. In Austria, a pro-European faced down a challenge by the far right for the presidency in December, whilefive months before German elections, Frauke Petry’s Alternative for Germany party .

@ xmess - here's a thought based on my earlier post. Would it be possible for the ea to delete pairs once they are x% losers then reinstate them after x days. Might sound silly but there is some logic there.
Anything is possible. Yer idea intrigues me.

So what are the requirements that would classify a symbol to not be traded in the "next" session?
For example. How many times should they fail? How many baskets does the EA need to analyze to have the EA
do something like:
"well this symbol failed 3 of 4 times in the last 4 baskets so I will remove it on the next session"

Or do we keep it simple and just look at the last basket results and eliminate pairs that failed from being used in the "next" session.

Oh one more thing. When you refer to "daily" settings you mean that you set the TradeMode=Daily on the EA and used the CCfPWEEKLY template on pg1 with no input changed. The only other difference being that u eliminated pairs from being traded. Correct?

Folks:
I just got back to my desk, I have not started to look at v37. Since v37 has many critical bugs I recommend you use v36.3 in the mean time. I don't know how soon I will have v37 updated.

Hi Folks, At present time many of us testing many different configurations of CCfp Some less, some more according to our capabilities. It's fine, but that's is not so effective that could be. I think that could be fine to test this system more effectivelly. I suggesst to start testing all configurations at once on 1 or 2 powerfull VPS server. Idea: Powerfull VPS, 2 admins, Combinations 2 types of Indi (Diff, MTF) 5 starting hours (?7,8,9,10,11 GMT) 4 configurations of CCFp Diff (TT, TF, FT, FF) 4 trading levels of indi (2-5?) That's 2 x 5 x 4 x4...

Hi Folks,

I recall that voting is still ongoing.....

For information please read post:

I suppose, that many of you were not at the computer at the weekend.
We have already 6 promised donators Not bad :-)
But i hope if there are hundreds members of this thread, we could be able to find minimum 10-20 supporters.
Thanks for your support for this thread & ideas.

Please still vote here:
http://vote.pollcode.com/41895231

P.S. I decided to let voting run till Tuesday 17.00GMT.

After that, we will see if start or not.
If YES, i think that we are able to have everything prepared on Monday 1st of May.(what a nice day....)
The most time will take to set up VPS and individual running instances.

Yep - correct.

My concept is quite simple - how practical it is I don't know but here we go.

The advisor would be capable of identifying a pair that failed to meet certain criteria over a given time space - as specified by me.

For example lets say the USD/CHF has a 60% loss over a three day period - ea deletes it.

Then we have to figure out when to reinstate that pair. This is where your virtual basket would come in. Could it identify when that pair would have had say 80% win rate over a specified time period ?

Maybe I'm over complicating things but no harm throwing ideas around.

The vBasket all it does is mimic a real basket. The operation of the vbasket is as follows.
When the Hour and Day a user has selected happens the EA will record for each pair the current price and keep track of it and the direction of it's trade.
So every 100 milliseconds the EA takes a peak at where price is for each pair and then makes the calculation for that individual profit. all of this is placed into a multi-dimensional array that the EA can call up anytime to SEE the profit status of each pair. The total profit of the vBasket is just then the addition of all the individual profits.

Now let me ask this. You mention time space which I believe you meant to say time interval. What determines when a pair starts to generate profit?
In other words.. is it determined when a basket is opened/Closed? Consider your example, 60% loss over 3 days. Does that mean that the pair was involved in 3 daily baskets? Do you see what I mean?

The time interval is not a problem, I just expand the array to include columns that represent a daily profit per symbol. Then, as I mentioned before, the EA every 100 milliseconds takes a peak at that array and can extract the profit in each column and make the calculations to determine the % loss and then weed out those pairs that did not perform. This actually would be accomplish right before the instant that actual trades are taken. What would you consider as an "average" time interval... what interval do you have in mind?

Correct.

Every day I reset the day be it Monday Tuesday etc...... so the U/C could be in 3 daily baskets or more. Until it hits a draw down of x% then it's gone.

Time interval isn't actually too important it's all about the loss %.

Maybe not explaining too well but I think you know where I'm coming from.

Let's go back a step and simplify.

Say I got a basket set to maximum of 8 trades. When one of those pairs hits x% loss the ea will delete it - time doesn't matter it's the loss ratio.

Make sense ?

I have a notion of what you are trying to accomplish. But your very idea provokes many scenarios. So the questions are more to determine exactly to define
the terms of the requirement for this % loss. As an example. One scenario could be to start a vBasket on Monday and just let it run all week long. Then just before a real basket is opened, we examine the vBasket pairs and make calculations to determine which pairs to eliminate from the "real" basket. This sequence would happen each day just before the real basket is opened.

I could go on with a couple of more scenarios.

Anyhow I assume that the user would select both? Time interval and % loss for elimination of pairs?

lol we could go on for ever I'm sure. Forget time interval the idea is quite simply to remove losing pairs at a set criteria and reinstate them at a set criteria (that might be the hard bit).

No, it is not difficult, nothing is difficult.. ... your chatting with the only fellow (that I know of) that created an EA that opens a garage door when it registers a profit LOL.

I was just giving u an example of one scenario. This is what I understand you are looking for:

1. Input Time Interval (actually number of previous baskets) to examine pair profit status
2. Input % loss for requirement
3. EA holds for x baskets profit of each pair
4. When new hour/day happens EA examines profit status of all pairs. The ones that fall below input % loss, those are discarded for new basket.
5. After 1 day/basket cycle, reinstate pair that was eliminated

Fairly straight forward stuff
