Here's my interpretation of the system. Broker: tickmill uk live account Time Frame: Daily UseCurrent = true, UseBarInsteadofMa = false Open only one basket @ one hour after London Open with TP = 50 pips SL = 100 pips. Then check profit every next hour. If basket is negative, I add new positions to that basket. (Whatever the indicator shows at that hour)(usually suggestions do not change) I've been using this strategy since last week and no losses so far which is 6 out of 6 = 300 pips profit. Maximum drawdown is 30 pips so far.
Just make sure u set IgnoreCloseHours=true so your basket won't get closed by EA since u are using daily mode

Thanks, I was looking for this, too.

So, this week we have a "perfect" scenario: 1) strong previous week move, 2) strong (-700 basket pips) countermove on Monday (could be partly due to holiday low volume), catched by those who use Use_Current = True, 3) Tuesday strong move in previous week direction, catched by those who use Use_Current = False.
Let's see what it gives by the end of the week.

I really dont know WHY basket closed by itself.....i had no time of close and plenty of margin too.....anyone..? edit: TradeComment is not working either.... {image}
FXentropy, everyone:
If you set the close hours to " " that will default the hour to 00:00 so the EA will close all trades at that set time.

Someone has already mentioned it just set IgnoreCloseHours=True and EA will allow basket to run forever (or until closed of course).

I'll fix this "" condition in the next version.

{quote} I agree, but if set to false/false, the signal will be referring to the last 2 closed bars, which will not change regardless of the time of day... if set true/false the signal may change throughout the day based on the progress of the current candle, so depending on the time of day the direction may also change, as well as the potential pairs to trade... so both are equally important in my understanding.
BINGO!! you got it. That is why it is called ccfp-DIFF. The DIFF means difference. Difference between two bars.
The ccfp info that was presented before only shows the strength of the currency for 1 bar. Where as this indicator attempts to take the difference between two bars to get the direction from seeing if the currency got stronger or weaker between two bars.

Candles are in fact time series and if you give them numbers starting from 0 to total number of bars seen on screen, Then current candle will be 0 and previous candle will be 1 and so on. When UseCurrent = true, indicator makes all calculations on current bar - previous bar = candle [0] - candle [1] values When UseCurrent = false, indicator makes all calculations on candle [1] - candle[2] values. This is why suggestions do not change till next bar if false is selected.
Great! You did a better job at explaining the theory behind it than I did. awesome. See two bars.

It can be two previous bars which ,since they are already set, means that the basket will not change during the who period(in our case a week)

Or the diff is between current bad and last bar. Which means basket pairs may chance during the period.

Hi all as I said this morning I started on the EA at 11 GMT as I was told. Here are my results so far : 3 hrs later. I leave the conclusion for you all! The only thing I notice is that my baskets PIPS and % are not filled in. If someone can tell me if it is normal or not? {image} {image} {image}
acdl777:
The EA will not recognize the manual entries cause the trade comment field and magicnumber where not set by it.

Question does the EAX allow trade comment entries? I would think it allows magic number entries right?
Let me know, perhaps there is a way to make the EA recognize the manual entries with those two things.

LET me make sure I understand. Why do you think the trade comment is not working?

The trade comment affects the comment section of the orders that are placed. It is not the comments you see on the chart.

In order for a comment to show up on the chart all you need to do is place your own text in the textbox on the chart and that will be shown.

The more I see of the daily results the more encouraging it is.

In my case I have not had a loss of profit for the last 2.5 months. By seeing that the daily baskets have good gains, especially on Tuesdays, this tells me that if I were to lose say 10% on a Monday that the probability of getting it back the next day or within the week, is high when I switch to a daily mode. Keep the data coming...

I believe it's just a confusion; I was confused with that, too. When I input my comment text in trade comment text field at the EA panel, I was expecting it to be a comment text for the orders the EA will open (this would help to personalize trade comments with different indicator settings, for example). Instead, the comments for trades were just the name of the EA with postfixes like 0_0, 0_1 etc. So, the comment text does not affect trade comments. I think that is what is meant by "comments not working".
