Bob and Jem and Shelley's Pivot Basket auto-trader

[garyfritz]

FWIW I've been running 1j since Sunday and got no trades. All waiting for pivot crosses.

Gary, the same is hear. Patience my friend. Better to forward with little baby steps, IMHO.

I have some ideas about this EA.When( for long) Slope is above "buy level", all Pivots are in alignment and price is above DP-EA takes trade.The main problem is exit.I suppose if we have some sort of MA
and candle closes under MA, trade closes in spite of big value of Slope.It prevents us from DD.If it is basket and other pairs are under conditions OK.When mentioned pair gains strength and candle closes above MA new trade will be open and it joins to basket.
See att. pic. Lines "1" and "3" limit "buy zone".Lines "2","2a" dotted aqua show candles closed under MA.
Example: EA takes trade near line "1" and closes it near line "2".After two candles, EA takes trade again and closes trade near "2a".Between "2a" and "3" no trades -PA below MA.In such approach we need not think about exit level.

P.S.It makes a great sense in Baluda EA

Hello Harry, in 10.2 we have MA 5 shift 1. That MA is supposed to do the job if I correctly got your message. Actually this is what Bob suggested.
Even in basket case we can employ MA 5 as an exit. I mean every single pair in the basket can be closed based on PA position against MA 5.

Armen,
You are right about 5x1 LWMA and it application in 10.2,but if we mean EA- PA crosses 5x1MA very often(depends on TF) that is why we should use- may be 10x1,20x1 or others, as trader likes(especially if you a long term trader).But the point is-MA should be an option in EA(especially in Baluda EA).Slope doesnt permit to have reliable exit. EA (without MA) can take trade at the falling Slope and great DD becomes a reality.

OK Harry. Now I got your point.
Thanks.

1j with loaded history and loop true/false and 0 or 9999 on TP/SL/JL-Options on single and basket trades opens and closes trades faster than I can follow within seconds.
I am only an enduser and only the idea to have to find the error would drive e crazy. You get all my admiration, respect and thanks.

Thanks,Mike. I took your advise but EA is looking for trade conditions(suppose so).
What is your broker and how many pairs are available? Mine-Cowboy Go Markets-25 pairs.
