I will not post anything atm as not finished with experiments, however making some progress with some surprising settings and a possible new indicator which I may need help with. As soon as I have something to report I will post. However as you know this takes time :hi:

I do have an issue with almost identical orders being set at the same time, this is using the 1C version in post one with no fill the gap settings enabled.

Code: Select all

sep4=================================================================
ftg=---- Fill the gap inputs ----
FollowAdverseMarketWithStopOrders=false
MarketDistancePips=100
MaxTradesAllowedPerTimeFrame=4

Anyone else had this issue and can explain why this is happening? If this is not behaving as expected what is the possible fix?

It is a known problem and I believe it is due to FB noise.

I worked around the problem by having a minimum distance between all trades.
Which indicator do you wish to use and do you intend to replace the FB?

If you want changes done to your AW version, put them all together in a doc
and I will try and get them done as soon as possible. (I'm currently traveling and not fully available yet)

My minimum distance is set to 10 atm what do you suggest? It could be the fact I am trading 2 timeframes and both the 4H and 1D are opening trades at the same time however everything has now closed and some pairs have opened 4 trades? I need to go through the setfile carefully and check my settings to see if its my mistake. The good news inspite of this it made 1.6%

I use 20
Usually those extra trades are a blessing because baskets will close faster
but if those additional trades don't close and we get stuck in a long trend, they will become a headache.

I know I said I wouldnt publish but to keep some interest I can show some good results with the latest setup I believe these can be improved, thanks for the heads up on the min gap between trades :hi: this has helped a lot to stop odd duplicate trades but I still have had 1 pair misbehave so do we need to go higher than 30?

This is without the addition of TDesk which could be a game changer :youknow:

I wouldn't go higher than 20 for most pairs because then it would be harder for them to recover individually.
However when closing in baskets as you are doing, higher is probably better because you will have less open trades and lower DD.
Keep an eye on this, if it keeps happening, I have a bit of code I added to my own AW version which will definitely stop duplicates. I believe one of our members shared the code in this thread.
Anyway, let me know which AW version you want it added to and I will add it.
