trade4fun, when you say "sumblue changed into 0", you're also saying resistance or support was hit on the weekly IA or Daily IA. That's what's effectively happening. I've seen it happen so many times over the weeks. A trend goes out from 0 on ...

Robert, When the IA is put on demo at very first tick of week (impossible without automation, but just for sake of illustration), we put on 7 buys, and 7 sells. When we buy a pair, we pay the spread first during opening the buy, and when we ...

Robert, Exactly. Stay in for awhile through retracements if we can determine tops and bottoms. The TrendMagic/SupertTrend trend indicators do a good job of that, although there are alternatives (NonLagMA_v7, Kaufman or another type of adaptive ...

So you're using _6 indicator that Robert (MrPip) posted? Just put it in indicators folder and latest EA in EA folder, and should be good to go. Of course, there are things that need clarified by Kos still, and testing/tweaking that need to be done ...

trade4fun, I'm also using the latest EA version d, and am on my 4th set of trades. Profit-locking is just too tight it looks like. That's a lot of unnecessary spread paid. But I think we're ready for Kos to give feedback on this version d using BI ...

trade4fun, Aristarchus just posted an indicator that looks to do what you want (record basket profit during trades). In fact, it was looking at another indicator like that years ago that made me figure if I could keep profit of demo or real trades ...

charvo, How can you say it's not correct? If you read what Kos said, he said if all were still aligned and he got knocked out with profit-lock, he would re-enter. That's what the EA does. He didn't mention gap between lines, just that they had ...

charvo, Just like I mentioned to trade4fun, all conditions are not met on same bar, so the only way I know of to do this is set conditions, which when all true, make the trades. For instance, Kos seemed to me to be showing that Trend Magic was at ...

trade4fun, Since all conditions are not met all on same candle/bar, then I had to use conditions 1,2,3,4, and when they align up, the EA does take a basket trade. I really don't know of a way off the top of my head to do this differently. I think ...

trade4fun, Just as charvo said, I too didn't think a CloseAll() problem would have taken this much time to fix. Although I made it clear to everyone that this EA was for Kos' strategy, Robert still put stuff in that is not part of Kos' strategy. I ...

trade4fun, The reason I said you were using an old EA version was because I know what the newer EA version (which is now old) was showing on screen at the time, and yours showed an older name, so it was just obvious. No harm intended, just don't ...

Functionally, it shouldn't have changed even though Robert added those options. Having said that, I would ask Robert to refrain from adding anything else at this point, and let's stay on task of fixing existing bugs. I can still read my code, so I'm ...

tazman, It looks like both you and trade4fun must be using an older EA version, since Robert said he put in Reset function. Maybe I'm wrong about tazman, but trade4fun definitely is using older EA. If you're "playing" with $1,000, then Lots (given ...
