I just tried CCFp-Diff_[v2.0] and moved the comment box with no problem. I did dbl click on number field and typed in number, then sngl click on the left side to close the edit. Done for X and Y offsets.

Let me know if that fails for you.

PS I see from above you are using different indicator.

I think you have your profit lock % level at 0.0, so it is locking 0%? In other words, nothing? At least thats how it looks, I could be wrong as I have not really used this feature...

Can you also check your basket close times, I can not see them from your screens, but that could perhaps explain the basket closes. It would be good to see all your EA setting for confirmation...

Thanx Firew... but i thought the lock level percent relates to % and i have enabled the Pips option
I use to have previous settings not with 0.00 but with the usual default 50, but then i deleted it to see if happened again and ....
Had used similar Ea like this and went okay ... who knows ... hope xmess will clarify

jenbols:
No problem. Next time pls PM me so we keep the debug stuff off the thread.
You can use something like http://imgbb.com/ to place a link in the PM so we can share images.

Ok the SL should of hit -300. I just checked the code and I cannot see why it did not hit the 300 pip. I will investigate

As for your profit lock since you had LockPercentLevel=0 it was ignored.
The profit lock feature was a request set by forexpinbar. it involves the use of percent level.
You need to set a percentage level where the trailing stop will be set to.
Think of the BeginProfitLockAt: as the starting point for the EA to start locking profit at every StepLock.
Then think of the percentage level as the level at which the EA will be placing the stops.
Percentage to current pips profit, that is. So as an example, I set LockPercentLevel=50 that means that I want the EA to set the profit lock at 50% of the profit range.
Using your inputs and setting the level to 50%. You would have the EA START to place the lock when profit reaches 110 pips and updates the lock every 100 pips.
The lock in each step is place at 50% of the profit. So the first lock is place at 50% of 110 or 55 pips. The next lock is set at 50% of 210 or 105 pips.
Then the next lock is set at 50% of 310 pips or 155 pips.
So:

Hope that explains it.
1. BeginProfitLockAt - EA start to place profit locks
2. SetLockEvery - the Stop lock that the EA updates the lock
3. LockPercentLevel - the level at which the EA placed the stop. % times the pip gain reached.

To ensure that it is working, after the EA has passed the BeginProfitLockAt and the display says it has placed a lock. Look at the global variable
xm7_basket_profitlockstop_profit

That will have the trailing lock value at which the basket will close if it falls below it.
If you see 0 or don't see the Global then that means that the lock options where ignored.

Hope this helps.. and I will look into the SL issue. That should of worked cause there was nothing that I saw incorrect in the inputs.

Jenbols:
Firewight has a point. Do you recall when the baskets were closed? The EA is programmed to close the baskets at the Close Daily hour on the inputs. But if you have set IgnoreAllCloseHours=true then that will be ignored and the basket will be allowed to remain open even after the day is over.

Please take a look and see what your settings are and when the baskets closed for those that did not hit SL.

Oh sorry, Okay will do it on the nest occasion yes can use screen print to report some issues ...
Tahnk you so much for the detailed explanation ...
I just thought that as I have selected the Input for Pips and not percent
the Ea wouldn't take that into account _
To be honest i use to have a 50 enabled but i couldn't think it was working
for the reasons stated above (Pips-Not Percent)
About Firewight point he is right too and The Ea could have closed at that time, but as far as i can remember ,,, hmmh not sure
But i am sure of one thing .. In the photo it also shown a Mtf and i didnt take all pic but the D1-W1 Mtfs were havign also the same issue
and normally because D1-W1 are always for "Weekly mode" i make sure to close on Thursday so it cannot be that it closed and i didnt see it
as trades were still opened ....
BUt okay your explanation is very informative and the problem might be only that lock level which refers actually to % now i now it

For the daily chart, it will execute the close of the basket at 18:15GMT, regardless of the P&L at that time is + or - pips. Can you check the actual time the basket was closed in the trade history?

This would confirm this particular problem.

If you dont want to close at a time and let the basket run to its own conclusion, set the input "IgnoreAllCloseHours = True"

Thanx yes that close hours ignore was clear, and the your point is valid
just i can't think that i would miss that particular about when actually the basket was closed as i always have time
to check around afternoon time in Uk which is 3/4pm_
Anyway that of xmess was a superb explanation which really clarified everything ...
It's all about getting into the mind of the developer and see how he has planned the Ea to work
once that is understood we are fine _
Oh about you asking me to check in Mt4, i actually gonna do it now, however as i deal with 5 platform on one Computer
and i have done the usual rotation from switching broker, i might not be able to see it which one it was
but i am curious about it so will try hard
Cheers Firewight, smart man

You also have to note this is not the typical trailing stop setup. IT was made to conform to ForexpinBar's request. Namely a trailing stop feature that did teh following.
Profit at 200 pips. Trail stop at 100 pips.
profit at 400 pips. Trail stop at 200 pips
Profit at 600 pips. Trail stop at 300 pips

So the best interpretation I could come up with was to utilize a starting point with a step lock that would allow the EA to place a trail stop at a percentage (50% in that case). So basically to satisfy the above setup you need StartLockProfitAT: 200 StepLock: 200 with the PercentLevel: 50%. I know that it's not conventional but hey it's what the originator ordered and it does work.. right? LOL

Bro,

I'll tell you small EAX secret at Basket Management.

After long experimenting with EAX Basket Trail i found out that if you placed only one P1, L1 for ex. 100, 50, your profit lock will be worked automatically with step 50.
Example: You reach 100 PL is 50, You reach 120, PL is 70, You reach 140, PL is 90 and so on...........
It means, that user cannot use higher TP2,TP3,TP4.... because PL is setted and moved forward with step in line 1.

If you know this, sorry for spam.

Hi guys, I feel we are getting overloaded and overboard to try all possible settings of the CCFp.

Here what I have about 06:07 GMT - Question, given that the pairs must first pass the 3 by Trend test, why not use Level 1 ?

You will see all the CCFp trade suggestions but most will be filtered out

Just a thought

UPDATE: Just wanted to let you know that we are working on v37.8. We found several bugs and will be working on these. In addition I am going to make this the last version I will be involved with. After this is released and no more bugs are found the source code will be released under the open source license. The source release will allow for future developers to improve the code or add ideas that we did not get to. Plus this way with the source code you have the certainty that no funny business is being done behind the scenes. If you are not a programmer...

Hi guys, I feel we are getting overloaded and overboard to try all possible settings of the CCFp. (I think I am going crazy,lol) I believe all settings, esp using different MA values will result in the same inconsistent result.i.e.some weeks are red pips and some will be green pips. This is because there are some weeks where we will have correction from the trend. Since CCFp is a trend indicator, and the best trend follower from my experience is by looking at the color of the current weekly or monthly body candle. Is the current weekly candle turning...
