I am using the basket close set at TP £300 & SL at £1000

I got confused with the time setting yesterday so have switched back to Local PC current UK time with a broker time +2.

Between UK time 12:19~12:26 gain £415
and 12:27~12:54 gain £340
and 12:55~15:33 loss £1018

Last trade was at 14:23. My 'Trading Times (Local PC)' were set at +9.00 to -15.30

So looks like it's working OK, guess we need to find the right hours and mix of TP/SL.

Is there an easy way to check DD?

Thanks to the whole team for support, it's magnificent.

Cheers

Alan

Check Renee's ChartReport for DD report etc.

I assume you mean stop after 1 basket per day.
You have already set "Max Baskets per day" to 1.
So it seems right.
Please report if it is not working as expected.

Hi Matthias
Just reporting back that after 1 basket close, just a few mins ago, trades fired up again

It seems correct.
Next question is if you have updated any settings (pressed F7 and OK)?
The counter may have been reset in such a situation.
Will look into that if this is the case.

Nice job

Did you extend your trading times from the first 3 hours of each session?

This has been awesome so far.. Its nice following along with so many knowledgeable traders in here.. I have been trying to catch my self up before I had anything to add on this matter.. I am using the CSSDiff and HGI settings, but very interested in the idea of adding the Delta as well. The idea behind this seems very reasonable.

On another note, I saw something about having the EA stop once we close out a basket. I know there is a setting for -- Basket Trading Limitation Settings --, but the option to toggle off the EA so it doesn't roll over into the next day with an existing basket and then causing this to possibly reset to add yet another basket when in fact you would like to call it done for the week would be a fantastic option. Anyone else think this is a good idea?

Yes .. Full 9 hours instead of 3 .. still only the relevant currencies for each session. Seems to be working very well.
