{quote} You can use the virtual basket (set trigger level to e.g. 5000) provided by X-mess7 (Thx) just to monitor the individual trades. {image}
but if I set it up after the Ea takes the trades it won't show.... and obviously I can't use it before the trades are opened ... otherwise the process will be different ,,,
Can you pls tell me how did you achieve that ?
I luv when i don't know something yet ,,,,
{quote} You can connect account to MyFxBook, and there you can do a sort of things - detailed statistic - so you can see statistic per pairs too. That would help in your case I believe (I plan to do same after some time of testing too). Cheers
Today i concentrated on a single {image} {image}
Are you also considering the possibility to close the basket using percentage ?
i find that closing manually especially when a few pips away from Tp to be reached
is a good solution, rather than watching the basket withdraw and go opposite direction, should that happen
but I won't do the same if it is a few pips from SL and will let it run _
I find myself more comfortable with lost money if that happens, rather than "Ghost Profits" which end up being a loss if TP not reached for few pipz_
On another dashboard i found that (aside from placing the basket Tp/Sl) if i also place
a weighted SL for the individual pair the Basket might get rid on time of the bad apples
that could lead the Basket toward SL... not sure if that makes sense , but still testing it ...
Will need to try the same with this promising Ea

{quote} HI friend, i did try the basket virtual already and i had also asked the question to xmess but if I set it up after the Ea takes the trades it won't show.... and obviously I can't use it before the trades are opened ... otherwise the process will be different ,,, Can you pls tell me how did you achieve that ? I luv when i don't know something yet ,,,,
When starting every basket entry using the virtual basket, when you set the entry trigger level to 0.1 then the only difference in the process is that the the entry time will be slight different (the basket spread has to overcome twice, once on the virtual basket and once on the reel basket). When up and running price from reel basket will slight differ (1 x spread) from virtual basket but you have still good feeling what every single pair is doing.When the basket heads in the right direction it will be only a couple of minutes, when the basket goes in the wrong direction you are sometimes saved for a loosing basket trade. Hope this helps, otherwise please pm me so we can discuss in detail. Thx. Piet

and have have a good feeling of what every single pair is doing,
that is the reason why i often use a screen shot to know how things
went in the past and from the past determine a better future but that is
another story .... there are just not enough good coded indicators that i know
of, for P/L Baskets in the form of lines/histogram/candles whatever ....
the problem for me does not appear yet on chart ,,, but will wait Monday and will check again _

{quote} still didnt figured this feature yet but i bet is simple,but as most simple things my brain get it in slow motion
Okay let me say you to you and Fmercury
What is My Understanding about this Virtual basket based on what I have read and then you guys can tell me if I am wrong or not Not much can be said as it is a feature that has not been fully explained aside from those 2 posts I read which referred more to the times of opening rather than how it works_
The VBasket behaves exactly like a real basket but it does not,
unless you tell the basket a trigger when to open it, by setting a Level
and in which case once level been reached it will be able to open the real Trade of the Basket_
These levels can be (-) minus or (+) example (-) 120pips or (+120pipz) and so on
So basically I could also use it, to see what would have happened
if I had done that, or if I had taken that setup, if I had chosen that basket
and so on_ if, if ??... For example if I am Trading D1/L3/TF normal Basket
and my virtual basket on other set up is D1/L3/TT, then I could see what would have happened if ??
but it does not make much sense if that is the case, because I could just see it on the Demo, unless I am
missing something of course . Or unless I want to monitor pairs like fx mercury does The rest of the explanation
I think it is quite self-explanatory and because the EA has been programmed to open whether on daily basis or on weekly
then the Virtual Basket will actually follow the settings for the day and hours we have inserted in the EA and it will open at those
times_Dont get confused here .. The V.B. will open, not the Real Basket , and the real Basket will open only and only when the level we
set up in the V.B it is triggered_ But then again why would I want wait for a level (-) or (+) of the Virtual basket to be triggered
and meanwhile lose those good pips I could have learned ? Sorry just saying I am sure I have read as much as could of this
thread, but this basket feature it is still a mystery_ It could be that I am using the 37.6 and there was an error which
was fixed in the new version, maybe s that ?_ Also I dont get why xmess used a VBasket when he was not
trading on Bank holiday, when he could have used a demo account which is not real money ? Mmhh..
absolutely not judging or anything just trying to understand guys...
In other words how useful can be this Virtual Basket aside from
the fact that can be used as a monitor to view pairs changing?
