Hi,
I'd like to try BASKET WITH BALLS EA directly in real (I never make test on demo) , but I'd like to know if I trade on 10 pairs (p.e.) which is the right margin to have , is there a formula to calculate it? Otherwise anybody has test this ? Testing it in real I will use microlot (0.01) on the pairs with little spread. thank to all and particulary to Steve!

Re: BASKET WITH BALLS EA
This ea failed and you should forget about it.

Read the effing manual, ok?

Hi Steve, thank you for your work. I'm interest in Basket with Balls, I think that could work with just little changing as: open all the trades that goes in one direction (or buy or sell and not buy and sell at the same time) ) after 2 period (tf is 5) in the same direction. (maybe that RSI is not the best but EMA woul be better)

Just open the source code, scroll down to the bottom add this "//" in front of the if. If you want a
buy trades do the following:
if (CurrRsiVal_D1 > 55 ) return(up);
// if (CurrRsiVal_D1 < 45 ) return(down);
Then recompile. The EA is awesome when the market is trending, when sideways a lot of dd. I have been demoing D1 RSI and M15 RSI with the intention of making the lower time frame agree with the higher TF to triger a trade but not quite sure if what I have been doing is right.
Perhaps Steve would want to revist the EA again.
Regards,
Hagadah

Hi Steve, I'm testing Basket in real with Closeatprofit (on each pair) , in closeatprofit I set 0.38 of profit and 1.50 of loss . In 3 days the profit was very good.

Re: BASKET WITH BALLS EA
I'm testing Basket with the mix, results are good , I think that would be better if: Basket opens only one trade for each pair, in my system would be better that could open 2 trade for pairs in opposite direction if rsi change. Is it possible?Haggadah wrote:Newton:NEWTON wrote:Hi Steve, thank you for your work.
