Shelley's multi-pair basket trader

V 1b is in post 1. 1a was still causing clashes with the normal chart display. I have just watched it work correctly by setting a 2 pip tp.

If S does not wake up approx 90 minutes after a basket closure, then restart her manually and sing out.

Version 1a is in post 1.

The pips tp thingy is indeed working correctly, but you will have noticed the post closure screen flashing. This was the 'I am asleep' message conflicting with the normal screen display. The fix puts this right. At least, I think it does.

No flashing here.

Screen messages:-

Open trades 14: Upl = $109.91 469 points

Pips take profit 4000 points

Edit: Just seen new version posted - will try that.

Great news folks. MrLong (Andy) has solved the 'unknown subwindow error' that infests our log files if we try to run any of the ea's etc without the indi on our chart.

Andy's version is available in post 1. So long as you have it in your indi folder, the ea's/indi's that make calls to it will not need it on your chart.

Steve, I'm confused. As long as I have what in my indi folder? All I see in post 1 is the EA itself.

Post 1 says we still need "the attached 10.2 TMA slope v.1.4B 4.30 for EA.mq4 in your indicator folder" but it's no longer attached to post 1.

I give up. Brains fried. Find it in the auto-trader or manual tools forum.

Got it. I thought you had a special customized version for this EA.

Turned it loose at 11am = 1pm NY time, and it worked like a charm. That may not be an optimal time to run the bot though, since 30 mins later ALL FOURTEEN POSITIONS were losing.

I'll see where it goes today, and set it up for London open tomorrow.

Same here but only running as a stress test to see how far it goes negative. Already closed 2 successful baskets today.

Tradestation doesn't handle multiple pairs, does it?

[garyfritz]

Not on a single chart, no. You can run multiple charts but you can only trade one symbol per chart.

Not surprisingly, big retracement now, -600 pips.
