Hello Thomas,

The ability to modify text size and position would be good, at the moment this is all that I can see.

Hi@all.

There is an update in post 1. Some display parameters can now be changed again. Thanks Bill for pointing me to the problem.

Thomas, im in for 750 basket pip.

Out of curiosity, how are the rest of the parameters set up? I mean, is the entry criteria, etc, basically ootb?

or are there any special changes to this particular test?

Hey Thomas,

I'll hit 750 on the weekend.
I assume we need to adjust MondayStartHour (London Open), to our local time, Friday/Saturday stop trading hour to 24, Fri/Saturday CloseAllHour to 24, and adjust RollOver times to suit our broker. Everything else OOTB.

Have fun! =8^)

Just something to be mindful of... If you do not have your history up to date you will get different signals on Peaky, this could affect results so make sure you have all your history files up to date.

not sure how you guys are setting 750 TP, its not an option... nor is the time settings if you're using the version Thomas has requested we use.

The settings are there, they're just not externals.
My broker's rollover time is from 9:00pm to 9:20pm, whereas the times in this version are set at 11:55pm to 12:15am.
Also, since I'm in Australia, the FridayStopTradingHour is currently set to 16 hours before market close. Now, if we are all to stop trading at the same time (GMT), we are going to have to set those times according to our, (and our broker's) GMT Offset. The same goes for Monday start time (currently set for 8am local time, (ostensibly London Open), yet LO is at 5:30pm local time for me. Aaaand, just to make it more fun, when the northern hemisphere hits winter, and the southern hemisphere hits summer, the times have to be adjusted by two hours.

Have fun! =8^)

Hi @all.

There is a new version in post 1. 750 is added as target and rollover settings are available. Start and stop trading hours are completely disabled, the bot trades the whole market time. These inputs are not important for our tests and this way we stay consistent. No need to update immediately on slow VPS, you can wait until the weekend.

Steve has provided a "basket pips trailing stop" logic in version 1p. I have made a FXT-SPB-2 for group testing this logic. The first input is simply the trailing distance. The factor input works this way: If you set the gap to 100 and the factor to 1, trailing will start immediately at 100 pips profit. If you set the factor to 4, trailing will start at 400 pips profit.

The etherpad is now for both EAs.

Cheers
Thomas
