Sorry Jemook. does anyone else have it working?

Maybe change maxBars to a smaller number? Maybe change UpdateOnNewBarOnly to false?

Do your pairs have suffixes?

I just installed a new instance of Metatrder from FXDD. It updated build 445. It worked right away but the plot was wrong. I had to switch to H1 and back to H4.

Hi jjaa,

Congratulation for your thread. I will follow it with great interest. I somehow feel that we only discovered 5% of the BE capabilities. I am looking forward to read your findings.

Here is an interesting picture. See how these 6 currencies have a symmetric shape (look at them 2 by 2). EUR with AUD, USD with NZD and GBP with JPY. Maybe this can help with your strategy ?

The basket (currently $130) was created when USD equity line crossed lwma 21 top to bottom and then, I added JPY when it crossed the lwma 21 bottom up. Just hoping to give you some food for thought.

Keep up the good work! and thanks for this thread.

Cheers!

I installed the Cowboy IBFX platforn. The template/indicator works but there was a fairly long calculation for each timeframe. Also I had to switch timeframes to get a correct plot. I noticed earlier this indicator is a resource hog, which is why I have UpdateOnNewBarOnly = true. With this setting it runs fine with 12 charts.

Jack, one thing you may want to check: look farther back. In my own currency-basket experiments, I was getting fabulous results with AUD for the last year. Then I looked back 5 years, and whoops! It lost more in 2010-2011 than it made in 2012. AUD trended really well in the last year but it didn't before that. Much of your baskets are heavily weighted with AUD, so....

Hi dentiok,
This is the regular BE. I just added the LWMA 21.
