Basket Trading BALUDA'S CSS Crossovers

Post by **cybersmart** » Tue Oct 04, 2016 12:35 pm

Mathias,

Is it possible to add the basket handling in this EA as well?
Basket target based on %
Basket SL based on %
So we dont have to use the MPTM

I added another setup adding cssdiff m15 as well and it worked even better.
We have exciting times ahead...
In different flavours of setups as well.
This will be an interesting autumn!

I shall continue with the 1H/4H and after a few weeks of testing the various settings we can do a contrast and compare.

Things that need to be monitored for reporting is, DD, Margin used, profit and of course account leverage.
I am currently using a 1:200 demo account and so far margin used is 38%.

What has astounded me is the fact that in less than 48 Hrs my account has grown by nearly 10% with a max DD of just over 4%

I had it running 24/5 on M15, made a killing yesterday, and got killed tonight.

Care to share your setfile so I can look where to start adjusting?
There you go...

It is already there

Early in the settings list you have Multiple Trades Settings and Basket Trading Limitations.
And in the end you have Basket Exit Settings.
Make sure you enable Basekt Exit Settings in the Exit trades section.

Look in the ProfitCalcMethod and you will find "Calc profit based on percent of balance".
Enjoy!
And please report back if you find something not working as it should.

I no longer need MPTM but only use what is inside the EA.

Ahh Nice Mathias!
Is there an option to show that info in the dashboard?
So we know what the profit/loss are and the % for both TP and SL

Not yet, and that is partly the reason I am planning some refactoring of my code to make it easy to show/hide settings, show single trades SL/TP/Stop/Target etc and Basket settings /SL, TP etc.
I can show the Basket SL and TP values in this coming in next revision (v5.17), but full presentation of basket status etc will come in next version.
In the meantime I use TradeReport and TradeChart on another chart for follow up.

testing different settings with 5K start from here - since 2016-10-03
its just an short test / view and far away from being optimised with basket close

Cybersmart Sets - but changes in Factor = 0.25 and Basket TP 8 / SL -10

Magic 880
Entry:
15M -> Use CSS cross (like the current setting)
1H -> Use CSSDiff
4H -> Use CSSDiff
Exit:
15M -> HGI wavys and Big arrows

880.PNG

Magic 881:
Entry:
15M -> Use HGI trend (Big arrows)
1H -> Use CSSDiff
4H -> Use CSSDiff
Exit:
15M -> HGI wavys and Big arrows

881.PNG

Trader Joes Sets - but changes in Factor = 0.25 and Basket TP 8 / SL -10

Magic 882 - CSSCross
For Entry:
M15 cross candle 1 shift 1
H4 cross candle 1 shift 0
For Exit
M15 cross

882.PNG

Magic 883 - CSSDiff

For Entry:
M15 H1 H4 all Diff
For Exit:
M15 Diff

883.PNG

KeithM Set: CSSDiff-K-15-1-4-Basket.set - Magic 884 - unchanged - start 2016-10-04:

884.PNG

What i don't understand actually is - if i set the Basket tp to % is the basket SL also in % or is it still in currency value and only TP is in %?

Only changes from my original system is trading 24/5 and utilising the 4H filter with an emergency stop loss of 25% just so that I can monitor it to see how it performs. So far max DD is a little over 4%..TP is also amended to 1.2% due to high frequency of trading..

Kudos to Mathias the EA is performing flawlessly.. :hi:

Great work Zennor. Did you go into drawdown yesterday? I applied your set file and hit a 1.2% basket and then went into 19% DD. It is currently sitting at 11% drawdown. Will continue to monitor to see if it recovers.

If you have set ProfitCalcMethod of Basket to PercentOfBalance then both TP and SL are in perfekt of balance.
And make sure to set TP to eg 1.2 and SL to eg -10.
It is important that SL and BasketSL are negative values.
In next revision there is a test on that.
