{quote} Bubinka what you are describing makes perfect sense ..in fact if i have well understood it there are quite a few ways that this can be achieved, all i can do for now it is trying and experimenting ...and later share my findings ...
Hi jenbols,

sorry, in my previous post I did a typo!
I can't get it to work and for instance when basket #1 is at +1.5% and basket #2 is at +4% only ProfitLock for basket #2 kicks while I'd like also EA #3 starts to lock profit for the combined basket #1 and #2.

Thank you, if and when you'll find a way to make it work please share, I'll do the same-

Best regards,
Bubincka

Today baskets doing pretty well so far. Not all but most of them. The daily baskets are in a small DD. The weekly baskets are the top performers for sure this week.

For some strange reason today my daily baskets did not close when they were supposed to. I'm not sure why as until now they have been fine.

EA set to close baskets at 19:00GMT but I closed them manually at 19:50GMT.

Any ideas as to why?

xmess. For every automatic daily basket opened (so without using the reset button) tp and sl are added to the previous one. {image}
Instead of Reset, right click on the window, select Expert Advisor > Properties, and edit as you wish. Hope this helps.

This commits the mathematical sin of using a statistical average to set a specific case, not always a good idea. It is entertainment since I am not doing any other trading until after FOMC day. DB_CCFP_Diff is set for session 1 00:15 to 18:00 UTC, now in progress. (yes UTC/GMT) The pairs and positions are followed by W1 suggestions from CCFp-Diff: EURUSD L S GBPUSD L S USDCHF S L AUDUSD L L NZDUSD L L USDCAD S L Showing green basket pips after 15 minutes, FWIW.
Final count at 18:00 close: 363 pips for the 6 pairs tested.

my guess would be your mt4 had a disconnect = top of the hour.

the ea should have a routine built in to check such for scenarious. same for opening, but closing i think is more important.

Oh wow that's not good. My platform has never had such issues that I'm aware of, I hope its not a serious problem. My other baskets closed on time as set, only these 2 didn't.

Just a suggestion...

A lot of posts in the thread are requests for settings on specific results of daily or weekly methods. How about set files for the popular methods be posted within the first post? This could reduce the need to request method settings.

Thanks,

Randy

Hello mrdfx,

How are you using the candles column, as the ea has no options for this ?

I use them mostly for trade confirmation from the CCFp signals. Most times everything matches but its just good to follow for additional confirmation.

Thank you mrdfx.

If there is not much agreement, do you still trade using the ea ?

{quote} well done Erebus, are you useing one basket at a time or multiple baskets ? cheers M
Now that things have settled down, here is more accurate answer; I will use the settings as shown below, and hopefully access my VPS and apply them to the TE demo account in my signature; might be able to recover that account.

These signals are from now, 06-15-2017, 09:40 GMT, early Asian session, after FMOC

Until now that hasn't happened. There's been on occasion that 1 or 2 pairs didn't match but I left it and trusted the CCFp to be correct in the log run, and so far so good.

mrdx,

mt4 has that issue all the time, all brokers. it can happen for a million reasons, usually they are offline very briefly like seconds to minutes at most.

but years ago i traded with a very reputable broker and they were down for hours at a time, often times during ny news events. this does not happen these days as much anymore.
maybe somebody can bring this to xmess attention, in the event of mt4 being offline and closing time not triggered to built in a routine to check for that. meaning that trades will indeed get closed.

Excellent observation reinerh. I will get on it right away. Any recommendation on what to do if a disconnect is detected. Fortunately they seem to be temporary.

mrfdx: How many baskets did you have opened? I think I know what the problem might be. I have the close hour set at an interval of 10 secs. Depending on the number of baskets this can cause the EA to be delayed in getting to each basket. That delay may take more than 10 seconds so that by the time those charts are reached the interval is over and guess what... we can't close the baskets cause it's beyond the 10 second interval. you would think that this should not be a problem cause the EA is working "independently" On each chart, but that is not the case. Each EA takes it's turn on the functions it does and that is what causes the delay.

The solution is fairly straight forward. I will create a closetriggerhour variable that will be independently assigned to each chart. When a basket is closed by the set close hour this variable will record the time. As long as the start time is < this close trigger hour the EA will not initiate another basket. I do this cause I know you guys LOL. Some of you will want to open another basket right after it has been closed LOL. Otherwise I would just tell the EA to close a basket once the time is greater than the close hour that you set.

Stay tuned this and the disconnect function will be added to the update. In the mean time be vigilant, hopefully this will not occur very often.
