{quote} Good question, since I have not traded with the 10% mental stop. I don't know the exact pip count. I am going to figure... 200 pips but that is using a lot size of around .1 per $2000 of balance. That's just my guess at the moment.
Hi xmess7
I have been using 10080 FF & TF with open LO & TO +10 with Lot 0.01 quite successfully and am planning on trying your strategy.
I am clear about your setup except you are using Lot 0.1 ... with a $2k account, is that correct?
Thanks
When you are successful perhaps give a thought to others ... Kiva dot org

I recall he uses 0.01 lot per 200$, so 0.1 lot for 2k

0.1 with 2k$ acc and 28 pairs on table? is not this kinda risky business?

Wow guys and girls,,, Noticed that a few people are being disturbed by so many strategies
and different dashboards being proposed, and they could be right too, because
they joined the thread from the beginning, they liked it that way and now they see it changing day by day_

As far as i am concerned I am no longer posting anything else that displays
other's dashboards, even if it is related to the Ccfp-diff because i can see that
when someone starts proposing new Tools then naturally many others will join in
and would like to show also what they have experienced with other tools too_
I like to see what people post about different things and strategies, although all Stgys and Systems
are a waste of time, once you've known that when the market trends well, all Pins, Dashb, and Ea go well too of course
at least short term.. and of course long term it is another story_

In a community forum it is natural to add own's contribution, and i bet this was also beneficial for jess xmess
to get more idea about further implementing the Ea.... (what he calls food for thoughts) ...
Another thread has been opened and hopefully the focus of this thread should be more
on xmess Ea and it's Multiple uses Vanilla or Strawberry_

I made my own small list of all systems being proposed on here and i am not being confused by any of them
in fact they are all interesting... Someone proposed the latest DashB of Geko which is a nice work
and i am already subscribed to the website, but have not used it yet, as some of the pic are in small format
and it was hard to see small letters, but i found a manual which i will start reading today_

Last words based on Pm received and on traders who feel a bit confused about many methods ..
We all have different's Mind's capacity or slow/fast ways to learn, and there is no need
to consider learning a new strategy or New DashB. being proposed on here.. When you see a new method
that does not stick to the original fxpinbar stgy or xmess Ea, just ignore it and move on....

Knowing so many things it does not mean that the person is making money, in fact the more we know and test
and the less time we have to focus and make money on Real account... and for someone else, the opposite might be also true_
For example for me this week, i know i am gonna make less or no money as i will start practicing with the New Geko's DB, plus
on top of that i will have to finish testing other projects I had started and.... when i can helping a coder testing his new project_
The good thing is that i got on my side the Manual trade on a weekly basis already set + the most reliable (Imo) Xmess Ea (sets, 5 or 6 max )
which can just be set on platform and and let 'em run, while experimenting other things_
I am sure investing time with new methods will also give good return in future and as usual planning it all ahead it is a must and not an option_
Hav a nice day_

Aww what a results 3 diff times.... and all with W sets ,, guess you too are not a fan of TT
The power of sharing, these figures are certainly an encouragement for the confidence to use more and more the Ea

Hya ... i was pleased to see that the EA monitor works also with the CCFp-Diff v3.01
and i guess we all knew that... / v3.01 not much different from v2.0 aside from
a couple of parameters being used about different levels of strength, and not essential to use anyway_
However at weekend Fri/ before market closing i like to experiment
with some of the craziest set up and numbers .. and i found out yesterday that
surprisingly the Ea is also able to recognize and open trades from a Ccfp-df Pin created by Samx coder

The name of the Pin is Pin_FF_Ccfp-diff. but due to my surprise it slipped my mind to take the snapshot while the market was still open .
So not a new stgy or setup, and was just to let you know ...
i thought only indis that had been programmed to be recognized by the Ea could be used,.
I don't think you knew about this or maybe yes ? Ah well whatever that was it's cool and that triggered my mind
to try something else and add it to the list of the already busy week_

This may have been mentioned before, if so apologies, I am interested in establishing a rough formula for calculating the Stop Loss.
I have been testing and doing live on 1440 and 10080 and have been using a basic hard SL for the basket of 1600 Pips, which average to 32 pips (say 35 pips) per pair over all baskets.
This is enough over a basket for the basket to "breathe" and reach my TP which is 2% per basket group (up to 6 baskets).
Using that calculation an account of 1K @ 1% risk per pair would allow a Lot of 0.02 (rounded down to be conservative), given I have been using to date lot 0.01 by increasing that and staying with 2% should greatly reduce my "time of risk" in the market or alternatively double the profits.
So I can now understand why xmess7 uses 0.1 Lot size (which I did think was risky) for a $2k account because I assuming that he has calculated the average draw-down pips for his baskets.
If xmess7 or anyone who has conducted a similar calculation could confirm this or provide an alternative it would be appreciated.
Thanks for response

Weekly baskets just hit 10000 pips for the week. Settings using the GIG multi time frame baskets, settings below. 9 Weekly baskets: (TF, FF, FT) Levels 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, trend filter ON, candle filter MN - current, W1 - previous, Monday 09:00GMT - Friday 19:00GMT close. I'm really happy about the results so far, and hoping it can stay consistent. {image}

I have spent all weekend reading these posts. Its blown my mind, and Im tired but want to throw up 3-4 test in demo before Monday hits

simple questions:

1. I cannot understand what these important settings below mean or stand for , and where I choose/change them:

TF, FF, FT

2. Testing all the dashboards, and on the GVC dashboard - when I choose session start time etc is it GMT settiong, my own pc setting? or my broker timezone? where do I change this in the EA to ensure it works well?

I am based in Australia timezone, my broker is GMT +3.

Thanks, once I know the above, Im happy!

Does this required to be run continuously on vps.
IF you want the EA to manage your trades, then YES, obviously, the EA needs to be open all the time...

If you are running an EA, you can't shutdown the platform. An EA do its job only if the platform is up and running (connected).

1. use current=(true/false) T,F,F,T
use bar instead of MA=(true/false)F,F,T,T
you can set this up in ea setting
2. Gvc and GIG dashboard use local time, Xmess7 use GMT by default

Has been an insanely good week for me on my demo. Opened these 4 baskets every day this week, 4/5 days were profitable totaling close to 2000 pips from just 4 baskets. I also have opened a 60 minute time frame TT 3/5 L1 basket for every red news this week and 100% have been profitable since TT takes the most current 60 minute bar it works wonders on red news. Depending on the news, I'll filter out currencies that aren't related to the news to ensure a more profitable basket. I have learned this week to set my TP a little lower, definitely could...
Nice results Embry.

A question regarding your news trading strategy: How long time after news-release do you start the basket? I guess you wait a bit to avoid high spreads?

Thx

The image he posted shows the time as GMT 12:31

Assuming the news was on the top of the hour.....

I have no idea of the news event but maybe some detective work could find it
