Good questions for which there is no ultimate answer...

By reading this thread you will see most people are testing many and multiple scenarios, trying to find the answers you seek.

I am personally testing the following (Daily Baskets):

1440, Trade Level 2, TF, FF at 00:00, 07:00, 08:00, 11:00 & 12:00 GMT
1440, Trade Level 2, TF, FF with 5-12 & 9-12 at 07:00 GMT
10080, Trade Level 2, TF, FF at 00:00, 07:00, 08:00, 11:00 & 12:00 GMT
10080, Trade Level 2, TF, FF with 5-12 & 9-12 at 07:00 GMT
MTF 10080 + 1440, Trade Level 1, TF, FF at 00:00, 07:00, 08:00, 11:00 & 12:00 GMT

I am also testing 2 monthly baskets:
43200, Trade Level 2, TF, at 00:00, 08:00 starting on 01.05.17, progress is as per the pic below.

As you can see, there is almost no end to the permutations...

All you can do is try for yourself at this stage I'm afraid.

Just my thought, this was supposed to be "set and forget" and now we are all opening 90+ trade daily with different MA and other settings..from what I see the answers are right in front of our eyes: the MN settings FF and TF seem to be positive since the begging of the thread, even opened for a few days only.
I will test a strategy with FF and TF for monthly settings, but at half time: I will open and close at 2 weeks, so 4 baskets/month. As I see things now it can easily reach 1000 pips per basket , so I am fine with 4000 pips a month, maybe a 1:1 risk reward with 1000 pips SL/TP would make the job

Cheers!

First day of testing 7 different baskets and only 4 opened trades, and 3 didn't. I find it very unusual. 3 baskets on nice profit and 1 hit SL. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or this is normal? I'm trying attach screenshots of the charts but it wont allow. EDIT: I tried changing the time on the baskets which did not open and now they did. Its strange that they did not open at 09:00GMT even though there were trades showing on the indicator and after I changed the time they did.

Ignored

Can anyone give feedback on this? 3 of my baskets set at 09:00GMT did not open but the others did. All baskets were set at the same time to open. It can't be a network issue as I'm using a VPS, and its running ona $100k demo account.

Truth is like poetry. And most people f*cking hate poetry.

The only reason for the amount and variety of baskets is to locate the better settings to use, there is never any intention to run with that many live, in fact that would be massively overexposing anyone's account... The whole set and forget method has not been forgotten, and that is exactly how it is all running.

Monthly does produce great results, but if you have been reading this thread from the beginning you will also know it can produce the exact opposite with massive drawdowns as well...

That is pretty much what happens to most threads. You can have a simple "Trade One Arrow" with warnings that anything additions and you will be banned, but end up with this. {image}

I would also add that that at least in my case, the 1 indicator and the 1 ea is all that is being used. The settings however demand experimentation.

Dear A.alex
there are indeed lots and lots of combinations that can be tried and i use to think only 60 baskets were possible but with the new tests
i calculated that there are more than 122 baskets combi to try and of course 20-30 are the best ones
attached is a sample of basket tried and also not tried yet

Mixed Factors that determine the baskets settings:

Timing (Daily)__________7:10-Gmt / 6.15-Gmt / or 7:10-Gmt-3.45-Gmt
Timing (Weekly)_Monday_7:10-Gmt /Thursday_6.15-Gmt
Timing (Weekly)_Monday_7:10-Gmt /Friday___2.45-Gmt

___TFs__Levels__SettingsBar-____________MA / Ma Period/Type/Slow-Fast /
___240___1...3______TF/TT/FF/FT____________3/6/3/5 - 3/6/5/12 - 3/6/1/2
___1440___2...10____TF/TT/FF/FT____________3/6/3/5 - 3/6/5/12 - 3/6/1/2
___10080__2...10____TF/TT/FF/FT____________3/6/3/5 - 3/6/5/12 - 3/6/1/2
___43200__2...10____TF/TT/FF/FT____________3/6/3/5 - 3/6/5/12 - 3/6/1/2
Mtf-H4-D1__1-...4____TF/TT/FF/FT____________3/6/3/5 - 3/6/5/12 - 3/6/1/2
Mtf-D1-W1__1-..4____TF/TT/FF/FT____________3/6/3/5 - 3/6/5/12 - 3/6/1/2
Mtf-W1-M1__1-..4____TF/TT/FF/FT____________3/6/3/5 - 3/6/5/12 - 3/6/1/2
+ Mixed TFS variants ... short entry Manual 15/H4/D1 and so on ...

Most important is to keep records of what we test and eventually a Winning Power Combo will be there with consistency

Good job with the research...With CCFp there is no limit to the different combination of settings that can be explored.. So many options to choose from.. ..What is left for us as individual traders is to find the best settings that work for us and produces consistent resultts as well as meets our personality..Because what works for one trader may not necessarily work for another trader. Find what works for you as a trader and stick with it.. This won't be an easy road because you would to run several tests with different setting on your own and this may takes days, week, months and even years.. There is no free lunch like they always say.

Goal of a successful trader is to make the best trades. Money is secondary

I commend your efforts. This is precisely what we need to rest this long-term with the different variations in demo.
Maybe volunteers could be allocated certain variables to test and report these back. I know there was an earlier excel sheet, but your sheet, seems to have the presets done. We could even load the presets onto a 'set' file and then have these distributed to testers.. just a thought

Firewight,
Thanks so much. I have gotten more than I asked for. This is great. Will be doing a lot of testing. More pips!!! If I find anything substantial, I'll post it for everyone to see.

Ah lol yes all is possible and infinite possibilities with this ...
122 baskets types it's madness i know .. i borrowed 2 laptops more and tested only 30 baskets
and the thing is because this systems is good i also deal with another dashboards where
i insert the same TFS and and let it deal with other filters applied too and so it doubles the work..
Oh man, can't do this every day cos i need go to normal work too, but in my Day Off i just go mad with testing
Best of Luck and look forward to see more great invention and variation from our imaginative human mind

Guys I noticed something strange that happened on 2 of the baskets. They stopped trading even though they are weekly baskets. Why would they stop trading? Neither of them came close to TP or SL levels so I really not sure why. Thanks.
