No, there's no combined version.

The latest versions I released back in 2008 are the CCFp-Diff_[v2.0] and CCFp-Diff_[v2.0-MTF].

UPDATE v37.7.3

xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v37.7.3.ex4

We are still working on v37.8, I could not finishing testing today cause the market closed out on me.
So what I did was look at the simplest implementation and have added two new features.
The EA can now reverse trades and control Multiple baskets by use of SL/TP/ and the profit lock features.
See the image for details. Should be self explanatory.

Oh another thing. The SL/TP and Profit lock settings (BeginLockingProfit,LockStep) can now be in either % or pips.
You select which type of unit you want with the Set_Basket_SL_TP_Targets_in input.

The scheme for the profit lock now works in conjunction with the SL/TP feature. As long as the pip/% level is below the BeginProfitLock Level the EA will monitor any SL/TP level you entered. Once the basket %/pips reaches the BeginProfitLock Level the EA will then switch into profit lock mode and move the lock according to your settings.

Enjoy

Looks great mate!

Question, how does the EA know what baskets to close when using multi basket?

Thank you xmess7! So with the reverse trades function am I correct in saying that if a certain trade in the basket is running in a loss the EA will then open a reverse trade to compensate the losing trade? If so will it close the losing trade automatically when it opens a reverse trade?
Truth is like poetry. And most people f*cking hate poetry.

I don't think what you said is right, that would be a very dangerous functionality say if you had a basket in drawdown for the week and it turns all your trades around on Tuesday but by Friday they had reversed again so you lost both times.

And I don't think it is as complex as that, you are over thinking it

I believe it simply means, at the set time of opening the basket, if for some reason in your mind (market over extended perhaps) instead of taking buy as buy, it opens them as sells, and obvious the opposite for sell signals, it buys

The way you said it, that would be a very complex situation, and require a lot of extra settings, too many questions.............. not worth even thinking about that!

Sorry, not that involved. This is a request someone had made. Basically they just wanted to be able to have the option to reverse all the trade orders that are on the list.
So every buy becomes a sell and vice versa.

Don't worry, as soon as the code is available all will be able to add as much complexity as they desire LOL.

{quote} Looks great mate! Question, how does the EA know what baskets to close when using multi basket?
The mult basket ability is basically to treat ALL the basket you have as one big giant one.
So if you have 19 baskets and you have set the MultiBasket control to true. The EA will take the cumulative profit and monitor it to see if it hits SL/TP or if a lock is required to be employed. Nothing complicated, in fact you only have to set this true on one chart. You can leave the rest of the charts as false.

What did you have in mind? The EA is able to distinguish each basket by 3 things, the chart it is on, the comments, and the magic number.
In addition I streamed lined some of the code that handles the Step Lock function and I think the logic is fairly solid so you should see the EA do it's job for closing baskets etc.

Ah!! One warning. If u are using the Multi Basket function to control the overall SL/TP and lock conditions, when the EA decides that it has to close the baskets, it will close ANY OTHER TRADES. So if you have other trades from other EAs be aware of this. I sort of have figured out how to control that, more than likely that control will be available in v37.8

Nope I didnt want that, just wanted clarification on how it would select what basket to monitor.

Now we know, it will base it on P&L of the entire account, and close all open trades when that P&L is reached.

Important to know LOL

Great work as this allows multipple baskets to balance each other out, for a global P&L. A basket of baskets so to speak

Awsom coding work.
I am lurking in the back of the thred and Reading as so many people contribute that, my bad trading did not have anything to contribut utnil now.
This Idea is maybe to much. But since coders are so good it feels not wrong to ask.

AI
With all this done. Putt some combinations of CCFp time frame, moving averige, trade level, current bar say Three settings of each parameter. That AI opens all demo trading baskets in real time and monitor wining and losing trades. Then opening a real trades when wining and adding to possition and downsiseing it in regards of wining/loseing. Of cours with some prameters that can be ajusted in real time as open new if 10 pips up or Close 15 pips loseing or %.

Hi kosmo
You can use PIN version of that ind, set one pin for each combination like TT PIN1 , TF PIN2 , FT PIN3, FF PIN 4 and enable those 4 PINs in EAX dashboard. Only will trigger the pair that agree in all 4 at the same times. In case you want to trade any pair from those combinations you click ANY in that dashboard below the list of pin numbers. Hope it is what you want

For this month I have been using lvl2 10080 TF 8am, Mon Starts.

I have been testing the v.baskets to trigger me into a trade at +300 or 300 pips. Until now the -300 pip reverse trades are an estimate.

My sl is at 300 pips for each side and my tp 1500 pips, BE+50 at 300 pips.

If market triggers my -300 pip basket I move my + trigger basket to 1 pip and visa versa.

So The most I will lose in a week is 600 pips.

Week 1: 50+1500 pips.(from -600+ to over 1500+)= 1550 pips


Week 2: I had ea issues and was away. I know the basket finished >-600 pips not sure if it went to +300 first. (I will count it as 0 )


Week 3: - basket..1500 pips


Week 4: -300 to +1500 = 1200 pips


So for the Month of May min estimate of 4250 pips or 3650 if week 2 had 2 losses...

I know thats not many pips to what some of you guys are getting but its controlled and now with xmess7 brilliant ea I can hopefully continue in this way.

Great work on your strategy! I am a little unclear with your VB triggers, but if its working then well done!

I would just say that any monthly pips in the thousands is amazing by anyone's standard, so dont underestimate your method, if it works then its great!

{quote} Can you explain more on how you took those trades
Yes sure ... there were also other pairs but i took only those pairs that they were higher n pips at least 11+ on virtual
.....now i suppose that maybe even if i had set up the xmess Virtual basket in Auto to run with a +11 as it normally should be used.. by setting the trigger level
the trades would have been taken the same way
+11 of course means that pairs who were for sale gained +11 when they go down,,, and pairs who were a Buy went +11 UP
here a small explanation how it works ...
Sorry i don't mean to show off and say .. ehy I know dashboard ! Just i feel it is good to show why those pairs were taken ,,,,
The auto is not enabled and the "Manual Eax" at the bottom shows pairs taken manually ...
The time they were taken was 8.13am Broker time +2hrs ahead of my London Time which is 6.13am
i shouldn't open them at that time at 6.13am i know, but i was going to work and the signal was strong
so i just set them there and the "set and forget" will do _ Also the SL of 300+ pips or so was enabled on Each pair
and not as a basket ..
So just as an overall, I don't mean to confuse anyone,,, because you don't really need to know all this Eax and dashboards
because all this process is Shortened by the Ferrux Ccfp-diff which will take the Strongest pairs based on the Level Tf ...
and then we got the xmess EA ... which will do the rest of it ... what else do we want ? We got all the right ingredients to make money yeahhhhh
Have a great day
