Why is it taking a GJ buy if price was coming off the peak high and going down?
Shouldn't that be a sell trades when the SS is down?

Rene, I know you read this. Would it be asking too much of you to knock out a script that:

• Cycles through the orders in the history tab.
• Filters by chart symbol, magic number and order comment.
• Draws green arrows to mark buy trade open/close and a trendline to join the - red for sells.

I see that this has already been resolved. Just for completeness, here is the DrawOpenTrades indicator.

Fantastic Rene. Thanks.

I have adapted this so that it will also filter by trade comment. I will upload this and its partner to post 1 later on. SPB V 1s is also going up with another fabulous contribution from John - you guys are going to love it.

Drawing the closed trades is revealing. The best pair thrived despite me only having 800 bars on the charts when I first went live:

By comparison, GJ got hammered and this shows why:

Wonderful stuff Rene. Thanks again.

V 1s is in post 1, with a wonderful contribution by John. From the updated user guide:

• BasketFridayTargets: this brilliant feature was added by John (SHF user name 1of3) . It will set the Basket Cash or Pip Take Profit progressively lower throughout the day on a Friday.
  • BasketFridayCashTargets: a CSV string of times in hours, and values, which will lower the BasketTargetCash at the time you specify:
    • For example the following setting "10,30,12,20,14,10,16,5,18,1" for the BasketFridayCashTargets will change the Basket Cash Take profit to 30 at 10am, 20 at 12noon, 10 at 2pm, 5 at 4pm and 1 at 6pm (times are in 24 Hour format, local time not broker time).
  • BasketFridayPipsTargets: a CSV string of times in hours, and values, which will lower the BasketTargetPips at the time you specify:
    • For example the following setting "10,200,12,150,14,100,16,50,18,20" for the BasketFridayPipsTargets will change the Basket Pip Take profit to 200 at 10am, 150 at 12noon, 100 at 2pm, 50 at 4pm and 20 at 6pm (times are in 24 Hour format, local time not broker time)
    .

Fantastic stuff John. Million thanks from all of us.

A DIY job is not too complicated. Download the code from post 1 and do a search for, "John (SHF 1of3)" to take you to the code that needs copying.

Incidentally John, I added a couple of (int)'s to suppress the possible loss of data warning.

I have added the update to Kopan's FIFO-compliant version, so US citizens download the update from there.

In both cases, Thomas has asked that members contributing towards the Tests Database do not use the update.

Hi Guys,

SPB is certainly stepping up as one of the best Ea's ever on SHF. Thanks Steve and John for your ever endearing efforts and everyone else involved. Great to be a part of this

Cheers

OOTB Settings
TakeProfit 500 pips
StartTrailing at 300 pips by 100 pips.

SPB just closed out another 1.76% and London hasn't opened yet.

Quite an amazing little bot here.

Interestingly, the EA closed the position with +130€ today at 9:01 a.m., (the VPS time is UTC, and MondayStartHour = 8)

Hi,
I'm running SPB 1q for 2 weeks, and it's an awesome EA, congratulations to all the brains that are working on it

My settings are those of Steve.set, with only one modification: NoOfBarsOnChar = 800

Today he should have closed all trades with a profit of +60€, but he hasn't done that, and he is still accumulating € (right now +80€). I don't understand why he haven't closed at the TP.

Last week it closed the first basket at 60€, and early this week (July 3) closed the second also at 60€. I don´t touch anything, he is running on a VPS.

Has anything like this happened to you?

After what appeared to be a repeat of a couple weeks ago and a long haul draw down I am please to report that another basket closed from last Friday.

I've had a couple pips positive slippage when trading in the past but never 139 pips in my favor!

I am following along with Steve to duplicate a small trading account. It has increased 20% in the past 3 weeks using 500 pip take profit.

I reported earlier that I was using BasketTrailStopPips but I removed that as it would get hit prematurely.

Thank you everyone!

[patmontes]

I'm back after sometime and what a good first week for me. I put on v 1s and Gareth's set and like DC, a basket just closed a few hours ago
I'll close down for the week and start again Monday

Steve,

Regarding the duplicate order timestamp FIFO thingy. The fix I sent you works. It did give two (incoming mail) notices but threw no errors or alerts. All orders and trades closed on Oanda via SPB and new grids put back up on valid trading pairs.
