Shelley's multi-pair basket trader

[SteveHopwood]

We are up and running - http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 445#p15445

The version includes the table-updating code, so make sure you re-download it and that it reads the table twice on startup.

How about set a time window (Jem could help with how long the window needs to be) and record the pairs that hit the MA during that window and if greater than 50% then open the basket?
Another thought, when opening the basket you could go with a larger lot size on the pairs that hit the MA because they are most likely to go your way? Or is that been too greedy?

It seems so. With this strategie I wanted to get back the losses of the asia session. The result: My live account don´t exists further.

Marsie...I'm sorry to hear that, but these EA's are still definitely in the experimental stages and should NOT be used on LIVE accounts. It says so on page 1, and it has been said many times throughout this thread (I know I've said it about 6 times myself)

Please practice on demo until it has been tested throughout many market conditions.

Marsie, count your blessings. I think it's safe to say that Shelley's response is slightly more ...erm ... sympathetic than you would normally receive here.

Hi Steve,

I noticed that my basketball does not close as I hope, nor AdaptativePipsTakeProfit nor AdaptativePipsStopLoss.

I've reviewed and have found a problem with the sum of points. My Broker is MIG Investment. It has pairs with 2, 3, 4 and 5 decimals.

In the below example 3 orders were opened in GBPJPY, GBPUSD and GBPNZD. GBPJPY has 3 decimals, GBPUSD has 5 decimals and GBPNZD has 4 decimal places. Therefore, for GBPJPY and GBPUSD points corresponds to the last decimal, but to GBPNZD the 4 decimal correspond to pips. To find out how many points apply to GBPNZD, we must calculate the pips and multiply by 10.

Which the EA V1U the example shows that the total is 79 points (+74 +38 -33), but it really should show -218 points (+74 +38 -330).

Thank you.

Ya, I already talk about that, the init() code take care about Digits, so only for the pair where EA is running... not for each pairs EA is dealing !

Code: Select all

   //Adapt to x digit criminals
   int multiplier = 1;
   if(Digits == 2 || Digits == 4) multiplier = 1;
   if(Digits == 3 || Digits == 5) multiplier = 10;
   if(Digits == 6) multiplier = 100;   
   if(Digits == 7) multiplier = 1000;   

Am I right ?

I have been running Shelley for about 2 weeks without a glitch but since yesterday every basket it opens closes almost immediately. Haven't change ou touch anything.....very frustrating

Jemook & Steve
The ea jammed up a few times when turned on with other NB-10. ea but when on achart by itself it worked great! see attached this chart is 20 min old.

PS it just hit 95 pips!

Hi Traderduke,

I think you'll find that on Empty4 you can only run one EA per chart, so not suprising it jammed up.

It was on its own chart but there were other charts running 10.2 eas. When I closed all charts but the Shelley and reloaded the platform it worked??

Latest updates to Simple Shelley (1b) and Shelley (1v) in post one.

Gary spotted a bloop in the function that calculates the crim's point value. Nice one Gary.

And if that fix works the way I think it should, Shelley should now be talking **pips** instead of points. There was a confusing mix of pips & points before. Unfortunately I'm not able to check it out for the mo -- my mom is visiting and I'm pretty busy -- but I think that fix should help. Just be aware that some things that printed points or took points as inputs might now be talking in pips.
