alaki Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Hey guys, Two questions: 1. I can not get version 6.6 or 7.0 working on Dukascopy, unless I reduce number of pairs to 4. Do you have any idea what I should do? 2. I hope you don't mind explaining best exit strategy for version 6. Should I close trades manually? Thank you.

soundfx Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 alaki, Dukascopy's MT4 is only on beta test isn't it? That's probably why you don't have many pairs to choose from. I assume you'll need to use a broker who offers more pairs if you want to run larger baskets. alaki/acosma, We're all just testing these EA's which are still in development at the moment. There's no right or wrong way to do anything. If you want the EA to run totally "hands-off" then you'll need to adjust the trailing stop parameters to those which work best in testing. If you want to be able to manually close baskets then on my view that's probably the way to get the best results. We all need to be running different versions of the EA's and using different parameters/timeframes etc. so that we can find the best version to run and the best set up. syedzain_87, The EA was inspired by T101, though it isn't an automated version of the manual T101 system rules, hence the difference in pairs. I'm not sure of the developer's reasoning behind the pair selection, I assume that it's more geared towards trading a basket of trending pairs rather than a fully balanced/hedged basket. alaki, syedzain_87 and pippeteer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Job SoundFX and to the original Russian Programmer! This was exactly what I was concerned with. I agree that it seems to be geared towards trending pairs rather than the original T101 rules. I think the real trick is in finding a decent broker that allows "true" hedging without trying to sting you for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormin_Norman Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 This EA quite interesting.. but the EA parameter quite complicated. compare with T101 system, the Pair for Long And Short very different to this EA.. anyone can explain this? it is not the t101 system, only inspired by its basket of currencies to trade. it is a general market trend follower. rather then trading one pair, it looks to trade across the market on the general movement of the market as a whole.

puzzlebird Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I am also in the test. Using 6.6, up 10%, but 6.6 has some bugs like after manual closing, position will be open again, so it drops the profit. anyway, I am still in the process of testing it.

outcast Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 V8_3 started with $500 trading .02 lots $569.83 profit of 69.83 ramliam I was testing the version with 0.01 lots so this last week I decided to try 0.02 just to see what would happen.When I started with $500 and traded 0.01 lots all versions I tested were in profit. So from this my findings are you can start with a $500 account and trade 0.01 lots and you could have success but DO NOT try and trade a larger lot. I would also suggest that maybe every $500 dollars profit you could increase the lots by 0.01 but that would be up to how you wanted to manage your account. I am going back to testing at 0.01 lots next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundfx Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Hi Guys, I'm still running v8.2 with standard settings: http://www.myfxbook.com/members/soundfx/basketbull/32390 I closed a couple of baskets manually if I spotted them and I thought that they were trading in the wrong direction, apart from that it's been running automatically.

scorpion Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I'm running the V_700 but I can not solve the problem, the platform crashes continuously I finished this week as I began, because of the problems I had to close several times, This week proved to version, 8.3 on my server and see if you get it to work continuously, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sia10 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) Hi dear ramliam, may I ask you which configuration do you use with your BB8.2? I mean do you use an 8 pairs config or an 14 Pairs config? And is it possible that you release your *.set-file here? Thank you in advance sia10 Edited June 13, 2010 by sia10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ysewellam Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Guys is it ok if its showing at the top Timeout in the place where it says Automatic or Manual ??..or does that mean i have something wrong?..im using BasketBull803_Eng and loaded the 8 version first and used the set attached to 8.3...thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundfx Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 ysewellam, "Timeout" is a pause which is there in the 8.x versions of the EA for safety reasons. It pauses trading when you start up the EA for the first time, so that it can build up a proper picture of the market, rather than rashly entering trades as soon as you start it up. If the parameter timeout = true, then the EA will pause until the next bar is closed. Which bar you are using to trigger trades will depend on the parameter tf which has the bar size in minutes.

noone Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Guys, can you just tell me how it trigger the take profit? I am testing version 8.0, daily time frame, and with percent: 20%/10% on etrail, on a 10k$ account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundfx Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 noone, The take profit has always been very confusing in the parameters. Try setting start_trail_val to $100 and trail_val to 0 and see if profits are taken correctly at $100 for starters. Alternatively, setting start_trail to 2 and trail to 0 I believe should take profits at 2% of account balance. I've not tested these as I'm running the EA with default trailing stops. If I want to manually close all trades then I double click on the text ">Close all" on the screen until a dot appears at the top left of that text and then drag the text to different place on the screen. A confirmation window will popup saying "Close all positions, continue?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
