D_L2_TF/FF_7/11
and didn't get much joy ....
Then i was so taken to succeed that i did W_L2_FT/TT_7/11 without thinking what i was doing ...
but i soon realised that with those sets No Ma is possible as they use Bar ...
so i guess now what is Left will be Family Mart , but don't know how to call that MA association maybe could be
Family (6) Mart (4) Ma 6/4 ?

You like order and records
I like this, but during the week i need to have a card open for each basket
so i keep 4 Ccfp-diff on one page split in 4 because i need to write some notes too ,,,,
Example if i closed manually, or if Ea didn't open for some reason, if i used the Virt. Basket, or the Range Hours,,,,
or if the Ea took the right Sl /Tp or Locked profits with lock step as planned and so on ...
So thanx friend i will be using my sheet and as a final results i will use yours ...

After a winning streak of 50 baskets something snapped today at 19:00 gmt resulting in the first basket loss.
Can't put my finger on the why yet.
Did i miss something except dollar weakness ?

1. The Profit lock appears to be working some WHAT but the next lock at 640 pips??
2. Max pips hit 671 and the TP is 400, does the profit locks lock out the TP?
See the attached and tell me if I got something wrong or not.

I do get point 1 lockstep every 20 pips 660 + 20 = 680
Locking 50% of 660 = 330.

Xm4ss7 Thank you mg
HI i did post few days ago something similar asking the same thing_
...After a few hundreds pips my TP didn't get hit, however that was a blessing in disguise and was better that way _
I am not sure if xmess had planned for the trade "to be or not to be" closed after the TP was reached or keep on trailing by lock step
but in a way i like it the way it is _
I can confirm after many tests that if you have only TP or SL without % lock step etc ... TP or SL, once reached end the trades_

Sorry i know you know it, just for a re-cap to see if i understood what xmess kindly told me via post
I think it works this way ...
Example round numbers to make it easy ><
Begin lock profit 100 / Level Percent Lock 50% / Set lock-Step every Pips 100

1st Lock / @ 100 pips lock / 50% / 50 pips
2nd Lock / The next lock is set @ 50% of 200_ (Below breaking down details...)
100(lock pips)+100(lock-step)=200 /50%=100 pips
3rd Lock is set @ 50% of 300
which is 200(lock-pips + 100(lock step) = 300 / 50% = 150 pps..... and so on ,,,,,,,.

In your case it has gone trough many lock steps as you have enabled lock every 20
@ 200 it will lock 100 = (50% of 200)
-/ Next Lock set @ 50% of 200 + 20 = 220 / 50% = 110 pips
The next lock is set @ 50% of 220(lock pips) + 20(yourlockstep-every-pips) = 240
The 3rd lock is set @ 50% of 260, which is 240 + 20 = 260 / 50% = 130
Until you got to 680 which locked almost half of it 330 pips
but in this case the TP was not hit and that is what i also wanted to know
if it was programmed this way or it is an issue ...
My photo shows the same as happened to you

What i really would like is that after the 3rd or 4th Lockstep, it should change/increase the %percent% and lock
as much as possible by changing the % level of let's say ... from 50% to 80%
but i am not sure how difficult can be to program that function _

You got the virtual basket enabled ?
have you taken trades before and then not have reset the Ea ?
It won't work again unless you reset the Ea ..
I reset it and reload it again

TraderDuke as Jenbols explained you have the correct step lock. The 640pips you had, represented the next level at which the EA would check and move the lock up. The EA would then change the lock to 50% of 640 =325 pips.

The idea behind this type of profit lock is that it is flexible. It gives the basket an opporinity to hit a home run. I am talking about 1 basket.. not multiple baskets. Imagine that u have a basket at 300 pips with the lock at 50% (150). Yer step is 100 pips. if yer basket can make it to say 700 pips now yer lock is at 350. So u see the room for the basket to move has grown from 150pips to 450pips. This room gives the basket a chance for it to continue. As the basket grows so does the room for it to move.

As a real example, I use to do this with single trades. But in my case i would set the static lock at 3 pips and just let it run. This gave me the chance to attain several hundred pips.

So with that said how about i add an input that will allow the user the option to check or not, the TP setting when using the ProfitLock setting. Right now the EA will ignore the TP setting once the ProfitLock process starts. That is why you guys dont see the EA take the TP.

{quote} HI
jen:
Is the profit lock working on v37.7.1??
Based on the images it doesnt seem to be.

The % level Youpoint to is applied to the pips gain value. The other is just a target level. It was done like that in order to ensure that the dynamics of the basket was taken into account.

Yes, you r correct, the EA at this point will ignore the TP setting once it gets into profit locking. Let me know what ya think of the suggestion i made above.

I really lile yer idea of modifying the % level after the step lock has gone thru 4 iterations. I will look into implementing that.

Oh a couple of things on the globals. Yoi can change the values if u kmow which variable is what but that change wint take affect until u either go to the inputs or reload the EA. in the newer version v37.7.5 u dont need to reload the EA cause when u hit the Reset button u are reseting all the internal variables that affect basket opening and profit. This was something i was not doing previoisly and that iswhy i wouldl ask you to reload the EA so those things got cleared.

{quote} Ok, I took a look at the latest EA and the code will close (weekly or daily) a basket if it reaches Friday, 19:50 GMT. According to what you are indicating you seem to be GMT+7. If that is correct then you are seeing the normal operation. Cause when the basket is closed at the time you are seeing (Saturday, 02:50AM) then when u subtract 7 hours it will match with Friday 19:50. If you want to close at an earlier hour on GMT Friday you can change the GMT Friday Close hour (weekly or daily) to a time that is sooner than 19:50 (for example 16:00)....
Correct, my time zone GMT+7, and I want to close 10 minutes before New York session ended. Thx before.
