Today trades would have been better in reverse, ... Been Trying some baskets with no SL and one who had SL didnt work, but never mind,,, ...and lucky we have some of the Ferrux best tools to let us gauge the market on time .. Avoided the worse on Live, and fortunately these results were on demo only as a screen to compare _ Ferrux as usual you are the best and your 10 years old Multi Watcher, saved my ...

"Man, I tell you guys keep finding the craziest bugs LOL " That is because you keep creating them. But seriously, you are doing a great job.
No no, I am not referring to the bugs that are discussed on the thread. I was just thinking out loud, recently I got one chap that was having an issue with "allow live trading". Despite setting it correctly, he is still getting the message from the EA, yet the EA is working.. Weird.. very weird. There are a couple of other issues that I have been shown that I cannot figure out. That's what I was referring to.

{quote} have your FT setup produce consistent profit or the other way around?that setup is as wild as TT , from my experience using this strategy it seem FF MAD is the most consistent one
Yes have to say the FF is one of the best on weekly especially
FT and TT i am new to this and occasionally trying them out ..
I prefer to delete and add pairs i see on charts and see how they go ,,,
but when posting it's all that which has been taken in Auto no addition of subtractions...

{quote} amr01: I doubt very much that the EA opened 130 trades in that time span. Once the EA is done opening the Trades there are internal flags that are set off that prevent it from opening any more trades. One flag is set to monitor the TOTAL OPEN TRADES. As long as TOTAL OPEN TRADES is greater than 0 (which means you have open trades) the EA cannot open any new trades. The TOTAL OPEN TRADES would have to go to 0 and the EA would have to see a new OPen hour. Oh in addition when a basket is opened the EA records the time that happened. So the...

O no sorry, was just adding a bit of fun to the topic.
You are doing a great job and the EA is "fresh" so there are bound to be start-up/broker/misuse problems.
O well, just don't mind me.

An interesting observation between the weekly baskets with MA 3/5 and 5/12 settings.

The standard MA 3/5 is doing far better with total profit although the 5/12 basket did have less DD. I'm still undecided if using the 5/12 settings is beneficial in the long term, I'll have to do more testing.

Just reporting xmess. 20 pips per trade TP 15 trades. Had to close the basket manual. {image}
thnx for the update.

Hmmm. Well at the least you can see the perTrade count working to create the TP.
According to the numbers you are showing the TP should of been triggered at little over 300 pips. The numbers you see on the screen are the same numbers that EA uses to figure it out. This is the logic in the EA that performs this.
if ((TP>0 and PipGain>TP) or (SL>0 and PipGain<=SL) )then CloseTrades(). So the portion (TP>0 and PipGain>TP) should of been true and triggered the CloseTrades() function.

The other thing that may be affecting it, is if in the CloseTrades() function the closures are being skipped. In that function I have the EA check that the trade being closed contains the magic number and that the comments also contain the magic number. So unless those two things are different the trades should be closed.

Alrighty then, I will have the EA Print out the PipGain and TP/SL to see exactly what the EA is looking at, stay tuned this WILL be solved.

Thank you for the screen shots. I see,, yep that version cannot handle these types of situations. Please use v37.7.6. That already has the code in it that will prevent this from happening. Go on.. get your profit back

Folks: Please either PM me or email me with questions/concerns/bugs/MONEY/WOMEN.... my email is on the server under a txt file. you will recognize it when u see it LOL.

Folks: Please do not use the vBasket feature at the moment. The logic to open and close baskets has been improved but I have not added that improvement yet to the vBasket. If you are not having problems with the version you have then continue using it, otherwise please wait for the next release.

Some of you have been asking about my live account using this EA. The last % was at 95% profit and it was on the 11th week of operation. I have stopped trading for the last two (or 3) weeks due to many events. I won't start trading till I am done with this and some other projects. Even though I run EAs I still monitor them and on occasion will manually intervene, so with this workload I cannot keep track of the EAs so for now I am just a coding machine LOL. Peace

Well done ...
That's just 240 ccfp and when the basket is done look for the next one.

Now i know that the topic is "set and forget weekly" but that is based on the principle that after a weekly directional bar another weekly bar will follow in the same direction.
Well, check your 28 10080 charts for the better part it is true and when starting trading you could be lucky and hit the sweet spot (second weekly bar).
If you are unlucky and hit the weekly reversal you have to at least be prepared to lose the same amount of pips (yeah right pips, i mean money) as you made (or haven't not yet) when trading the previous weekly settings.
Short: if you want to trade weekly (ccfp 10080) than take it like a man (sorry girls) and take the same DD or loss as you would take profit.
So FF or FT settings look nice but they can cause serious DD or loss.
Do not forget you are basically trading the signals from a week before.

I have experimented a few things constantly and FT and TT could "generally" good for short term only
depending on the day ... So the basic thing i do is to see the trend strength
from the morning and decide the timing (how long i will let the trade run)
no point for me to use the Basket close at such and such time of the day, and i close only
after FT TT have gathered a few pips ...or not _ sadly
I use them basically to grab pips from the morning and run ...

Sometime back when xmess7 initially reported 2x in 10 weeks, there should have been with it massive fireworks and loud John Philip Sousa march music--instead it passed quietly into the ether.

Since everyone here understands the compounding effects of profits, we all know 2x in 10 weeks means 32x in a year. If a trader keeps that up for 10 years, the account multiplies by 1,000,000,000,000,000x. Even if a trader misses a few zeros, what the heck, there are still plenty more.

The big message, IMO, is that new software or extensive modifications are NOT necessary. Perpetual tweaking of EA parameters is NOT necessary. Just cross the start line on the path to enlightenment!

Hence why a vanilla version will also be released in the end. Actually I may call it gold cause it's based on the page 1 golden rules. I figure it will only have 4 inputs. That's all that was used during the 11 week journey. Cheers, to continuing this journey...
