Yeah, I know :( I tried BASA on a lower timeframe... One setup to look for sigs only on the TF that it was on, The other geared towards the next TF up... I guessed the numbers for SL... Guessed wrong, eh? ;)


Have fun!

Is someone still using the BASA MTF?

could it be that it trades the re-entrys with the 21 line ?

Hey, is use the BaS EA since 2 month on H1. I got 2 trades in this time. I think a little bit less but it doesn´t matter. Since tree days he switch to "paused during a massive spread event". The spread is between 1.8 and 2.3. Does anybody know was the problem could be?

Thanks for idea

Sometimes I get that message "paused during a massive spread event.." I just remove the EA and put it back in the chart...Then, I don't get that message anymore and ready to trade.

It's been very slow for the last couple weeks...nothing to write home about it!

BASA is supposed to spot when the spread has returned to normal, so I will check for a bug in the code.

:D
Read the effing manual, ok?

I just want to start by saying that I have read the entire BASA user guide, and love the strategy.... I placed all of the Moving Averages, RSI-TMA slope indicators... But, I'm a little clear about somethings.

Please take it easy on me... I was wondering if you open several charts (10) for 1 hour time frame, do you have to change the LtfTimeFrame from the Default 0 to 60 (for 1 HR charts)?

Also, For Lots size @ the top of the settings, if you put (.1) will that tell the bot that, that's the MAX Lot size you want or... every position?

Do you have to apply the EA to every chart?... and If you do, will it mess thing up, or will everything be ok?

For the EA to take BUY/SELL positions, is there a setting I'm missing?... Looks like some things are setting up pretty nicely according to the manual but it's not taking position.

Lastly, just want to confirm that if you don't manually put all the Moving Averages and RSI-TMA onto the Chart the EA will not work, right?? Thank you for clearing these things up for me community folks!

Welcome to the BASA thread...I'll try and answer your questions below:

The strategy was originally designed to be traded on the H4 chart...some people have achieved varying levels of success placing it on 1H. I personally prefer and have more success with 4H, however I think those that are trading on 1H chart are using the EA OOTB.

Also, For Lots size @ the top of the settings, if you put (.1) will that tell the bot that, that's the MAX Lot size you want or... every position?

Yes

Do you have to apply the EA to every chart?... and If you do, will it mess thing up, or will everything be ok?

Yes...the original EA that is located in post 1 has to be loaded on every chart

For the EA to take BUY/SELL positions, is there a setting I'm missing?... Looks like some things are setting up pretty nicely according to the manual but it's not taking position.

The EA is hard coded to take Buy/sell trades as the set up occurs at the start of the 4H candle. The 21 & 55 EMA's also need to stack up correctly for the trade to be taken.

Lastly, just want to confirm that if you don't manually put all the Moving Averages and RSI-TMA onto the Chart the EA will not work, right?? Thank you for clearing these things up for me community folks!

You don't need to load the MA's etc on the chart for the EA to work...it will call the indicator's required, however most of us prefer to have the visual confirmation as well.

Hope that helps :smile:
