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. {image} {image}
HI happened to me too ..
have you got any lock level percent enabled ?
or also did you by mistake put any SL to single pairs ?
You have the basket set to open Tuesday ? and today is Monday
Sure you did the weekly or Daily ?
i know there was a bug for this too, were you using the 37.6 ?

I do have a profit lock but they didn't reach the profit lock which I set at 500. They were set to Monday, but I reset them to Tuesday so they can resume trading tomorrow as they stopped working today. I only have have SL set for the basket, not individual pairs. They are both weekly baskets an the EA is set to weekly as well. I'm currently using V37.2.2.
Truth is like poetry. And most people f*cking hate poetry.

Hi, question when you set the new trade day did u still have the baskets open?
If there are still open baskets the EA will not take on a new Open Day or Open Hour until the baskets have been closed.
This basically goes in line with the rules that are on page 1.
Let me know if this is not the situation
Thnx

HI xmess it happens to me too _ if set to begin locking profit 300 then it goes up to 500 pips and when I look
after some times it is down to 200 but has not closed the trades ...

500 (level reached by the pairs in pips)
300 (begin lock profits) Level set by me
200 (trade not closed at 300)

Also on other photo i posted it reached 36 pips and stopped, Max pip count was 276 and Basket TP was 350
so basket SL was not triggered yet/ on one it was my fault as i had it in low percent%, but the other was normal pips
One clarification pls ... when starting a new day, I load the New Ea, but before that, I make sure to delete all global variables, which could also be resettled by clicking on Ea and i also delete the pip count /files excels / then delete the Ea and load a fresh one ..
Is that the correct procedure to delete all previous traces that might interfere with the results of the Ea Monitor ?
Today i only deleted the Ea and this happened .. i didn't delete the GV ... is it because of that ?
Sorry asking you, but i know we should do the test to see first ....

No other baskets were currently open when I noticed that these 2 had stopped. Out of the 7 baskets being tested, two other baskets didn't open trades, two hit TP, and one hit SL. I'm still not sure what could have been the source why they stopped trading but I've deleted all charts and loaded everything again fresh for tomorrow so lets see.

Ok I read your question again, Just to make sure I understand. What do you mean by stop trading? Do you mean the baskets closed the trades without TP/SP being hit? OR do you mean that the baskets froze and nothing was working on the panel? According to the image it looks like you still had opened trades cause the margin used still has a value.

HI Alex thank you, welcome
Sorry for long answer, maybe I talk too much eheh
The close H4 or D1 is generally 15/20min before Lon close or after the 5th hour of US open, just need to see things if I am near pc,
if not then EA set and forget hours will do it hopefully _
About the SL/TP I generally I use the locking profits only, or also the Total Basket profit _
I have tried to set also for individual pairs thinking that I could get rid of the bad pairs before they were adding losses to the basket,
but didnt work very well_ but still testing.
When showing results on forum they are the pairs that have been proposed by the Ccfp-diff and taken by the Ea, however on Live
I will do some selection based on levels/pairs that have reached major support or resistance, day of the week/ pivots/ news coming up and so on_
..and so I will probably delete the pair which I dont think it has the right strength as a Buy or as Sell displayed by the Ccfp_ For example if Ccfp-diff proposed me a pair on a weekly chart Like GbpUsd as Buy hmhm dont know why, but I feel as if that pair has a bit run out of steam and not great news at the moment so I will delete it.
But of course I get surprised when I am wrong and shouldnt have deleted it .

We know that all pairs are so different and have reached different levels,
(though there are some of them that could follow the same direction because they are correlated positively)
but generally I open after 15 mins Lon open because I need some times to check the pair displayed by the Ccfp-diff
before they are taken by the Ea ,, but this on Live of course ,
Xmess said next Ea 37.8 will have the new feature button that can just click on it
and The Ea will take the pairs without setting the times etc ..
probably good to experience some other settings in a different way .

vERY NICE APPROACH ... i will check your post again tonight , there is some good details there i like .. i will give you some feedbacks on that ... but profit lock is definitaly the key in multi basket trading ... when we reach the positive side we don't want to fall again in DD because we know that it can fall very Deep...

Okay cheers pic better than describing
i can show the one that it is still on pc as the other i deleted hours ago, to set up new basket for tomorrow..
It was all in Pip not in percent
Generally i change sets so i can see if different things work and this set didn't work this time_
Other baskets with the same sets worked and closed nicely ,, should have a photo for that too ..
few mins and i will find it ...
It Was Basket TP 300 / Basket SL 350 / Set lock every (pips) 70 / Lock level percent was set at 50
but that no taken into account as i am not using percent_

__Edit> Sorry forgot to mention that on the other computer i am still using 37.6 until new release 37.8
so these tests were on 37.6, i understand if you dont support this any longer

[On second photo] below same settings but different .. here trades not being closed

showing also expert tab and account history

Yes the baskets just closed or stopped without any TP or SL being hit. Nothing froze as I did have other trades open but not from the EA, they are trades from some trading strategies I'm testing. When I checked the baskets there was no active trades from the baskets. I hope this is more clear now.

Anyway I'm not sure what happened as its my first day testing this system so perhaps I missed something somewhere. I've removed and reloaded everything again and it all looks good to go at 09:00GMT, I just hope all the baskets activate their trades if there is any, as today 2 of the baskets didn't open any trades even though there were.

Hi Jenbols,
I opened and closed two trades all profits within 2-3hours. Very low DD only -10pips for each.
I had great TP 500 pips _5/12 MA W1 T2 FF 8:05 GMT
TP 330 pips_ 5/12 MA W1 T2 TF 8:00 GMT
But your tradings look quite different from mine. What was the opening time?

{quote} What Lot are you using for 2000?
0.1/$2000 of balance
or 0.01/$200 of balance

Max risk per week 15%. In the 10 weeks I have yet to settle for -15% loss.
The lowest I saw was last week, on Tuesday (after the 2nd basket attempt) I reached -11% but then on Wednesday I recovered the loss with a basket that provided +13%. So ended +% for the week.
