Hi Xmess7,

Thanks for the great EA, a little request if possible:
Can you add a "Start Basket" button in the virtual basket, so when the target pips are not hit, to be able to manually trigger it.

Thanks

This weekend I will try and find time to go through this thread and pick out all the information and put together a PDF with screenshots etc to help with getting the template set up and then going through the different settings. It will be an ongoing project! It is actually pretty straight forward once you understand what you are looking at.
Thanks looking forward to it!

im struggling with the concept

{quote} Hey xmpaul: My lot size is determines as follows: 0.01 per 200 of account balance So I use: 0.01 when account = $200 0.02 when account = $400 0.03 when account = $600 0.04 when account = $800 ... 0.1 when account = $2000 0.2 when account = $4000 0.3 when account = $6000 0.4 when account = $8000 etc
Xmess

Anyway to set it in the EA so we can type the ratio we want and the EA automatically adjust it ? Btw I like you one every $200/0.01

大家好，我是中文，英文不是很好，用翻译软件看文章，我反复阅读几次大家的讨论，还有一个问题加载EA和指标，我们需要帮忙解决。
1，我加载EA 5月4日一整天，没有帐单，不知道哪里有问题，谁可以上传模板上传，我从下一个学习。
2，加载指示灯CCFp-Diff- [v2.0]（1），屏幕不显示任何东西，加载CCFp-Diffv2.0，屏幕显示，现在图片显示加载CCFp-Diffv2.0，EA被读取取该指标的值？
和谐的论坛，互助，谢谢，特别是xmess7，准备过程很辛苦，注意多休息一下！

{quote} Hi JdD, apologies for the newbie questions, but what do you mean by Trade Level 5, 7 ect? Also, where do you get the dashboard which displays all your trades from?
newbies, read and learn........ or look at the pictures .............

Trade Level in the INDICATOR, play with it, the higher the number, the less the trades, no idea why, I guess it's a filter for goodness

Dashboard for trade display is called TRADE REPORT

Learn how to use the " Paperclip " and you will find the treasure, my hint, can be sorted by column headings

You mean have the EA do it for you. right?

I have on my list an auto lotsize request by where you enter the RISK and from that the EA determines the lotsize
would u prefer that instead. OR do you prefer how I do it?

Every thing looks ok kaixinjili.
You must set the hour to the time you want the basket to open.

For example enter 11:00 in the GMTOpenHour and enter the day you want the basket to open.
for example select Monday.

Let me know if you have any issues

I like it the way you said there "an auto lot size request by where you enter the RISK and from that the EA determines the lot size"

I can imagine the coding required to make that calculation, how many signal pairs, how much risk, how to divide that between the pairs ????

Would the setting be Risk per trade (pair) eg. 0.20% or Total Risk eg. 2% of account? The mind boggles......

Very interesting, thanks for your efforts, much appreciated, John

Hi Xmess

Awesome support like your EA, yes I like your way better for me, by ratio $$/lot size.

To have the ability to tell the EA, "I want to risk 2% of my account" and let the EA do the rest according to how many pairs it takes....that would be a cool feature to have because isn't that what we are ultimately trying to accomplish when calculating lot size?

To echo Erebus, rumbaut and bojack - I do think this would be a fine and very substantial feature if done correctly. It also depends if you want to include stop loss too into formula, or you could in theory factor in ProfitLock instead/as well as SL?

you know what is funny.. back in version 3 I was trying to this very thing. I started to create the equation and then ran into the problem. With one pair it is a no brainer. But when you have several you have to take into consideration several factors. I would end up having to cut some of the pairs out so that the lotsize that was selected would indeed create the risk that we wanted. That was not acceptable. So I left it alone.

Now... JUST a little bit ago... I was helping someone else with a different but related problem. They have a bonus that increases their Equity. The person was asking if they could use the % target profit since the quite was like crazy big compared to the balance. Well, the EA uses the Equity in combination with the balance to get the % gain. That setup they had would mess thing sup. By the time their basket opened the EA would determine that the % gain was like 700%. And since they were aiming for 10% then that meant that the instant the basket became + it would be closed. LOL.

Anyhow I showed them the situation and then they said the magic words "I guess I'll have to figure out in pips what 10% is". I started to help them develop their equation and WHAT DO YA KNOW!! THE FRACKEN ANSWER CAME TO ME RIGHT THERE AND THEN!! IT was so obvious LOL.
So I will be adding this to the EA... its' a no brainer.... I will add 3 lot modes.
1. Fix Lotsize
2. AutLot on Risk%
3. Lots/Balance
The user will have the option to select any of these and then there will be input variables where they assign a number to those choices.

Don't ya luv the Imagination we have all been given.... IT IS THE STUFF OF GREAT THINGS...

Trade Levels:

The trade level setting in the CCFp indicator is quite important.

You need to have a basic understanding of what this indicator is doing. In very basic terms it is measuring a currency's strength against other currencies and then provides it a number of the scale of 1-10 green (strong) or 1-10 (weak). So 10 Green being the strongest and 10 Red being the weakest.

Attached Image


The indicator will then suggest pairs for you to trade dependent on what trade level you have set in the settings. So for the default trade level 2 it will suggest pairs that are 2 green vs 2 red and above so, for example, it will also include 2 green vs 3/4/5 red etc but it will not suggest 2 green vs 1 red. It will then tell you which way to trade (obviously in the direction of the stronger currency).

Attached Image


So setting the trade level to level 5, for example, would mean it would only offer those pairs that match the criteria of strong (green) level 5 vs weak (red) level 6,7,8,9 or 10. So you will have fewer suggestions but perhaps with a higher probability of success.

This is what I understand of the setting. I am no expert, this is purely from doing my homework by reading the thread and playing with the settings.

I have made a start on the PDF. Forexpinbar I will PM you in a sec with what I have done so far (the basic setup guide). Xmess7 I have pm'ed you as well
