I'm also running the exact same test but with 250 pips basket TP, it's doing OK but not as well as this one.

A basket SL would kill this system for sure but I'm thinking that a basket break even might be beneficial, e.g once the basket reaches X pips then close the basket if it goes back to 0. APTM doesn't do this just yet.


@trader689, a while back you also posted that you were basket trading this EA on D1. How's that been going? I'd be interested to know how you are actually using the EA, if you've made your own mods etc. I've found that basket trading on H4 seems to give better overall results rather then D1. The runs are bigger on D1 ofcourse, but D1 also gives too much back.

these results look great. my basket trading with a 500pip tp on D1 charts is still running, since July. Really exactly like you said, big runs and big giving back. mine is just barely into profit after all these months, this is after some huge upswings in equity / balance.

Basically I think the overall strategy is solid, which is why I've stuck with it for so long. The strategy is also very simple and is based on Bob's "simplest trading system ever". There are however some pairs that are definitely not suited, some that are really suited and some that are so so. You need trendy pairs ofcourse like GBPs, EURJPY, stay away from pairs like AUDCAD (although it's had a good run lately), and I also stay away from any CHF pairs.
