Think FB is working really good as is, and are not complaining at all.
But has anybody thought of reversing the EA?
Often there is a dd of 100-1000 pips before it turns around and the basket takes the profit. If reversed the basket would be filled more often. Not saying this would work all the time though, it depends on the currencies traded and the basket itself, settings and so on.

Maybe have two baskets, one for the regular FB and one for the reversed FB.
Have two trade managers managing them on the same platform.

Asking for a reverse FBob is like saying that it has a losing strategy to me. It would be better if you look for optimizing the entries like the best pair, timeframe and when to trade. I like the robots from here because it has a lot of options which you can adjust to suit your needs.

Definitely not thinking its a loosing strategy. Just thought we could gain some profit on the dd. Having the reverse system and basket of it on the same platform as the regular one.

This is definitely one of the best EA I have ever used. Thanks Steve. Very well done.

I found 1H to be the best as well and limiting to certain pairs, not the full offerings from the brokers.

I also done tests on 30 min and that was not too bad either. 15 min got into large DD and 4H had almost no trades at all. So conclusion is that 1H is the best time frame 24/5 trading no time limitations.

No need to change anything on this. Ready for LIVE accounts.

Can you give more details in which pairs you used and what type of exit for the trades?

Thanks, Frank.

Making profit out of the DD would be trading against the trend, which may not be the best idea.
But i noticed the same drawdowns, especially on M15, which mostly result on trading against the Stoch 8,3,3 direction from 10.6 on the H4, so maybe this could be a nice filter for the entries.

I changed the settings to use the CSS-filter, and am happy with what I'm seeing.

If I only compare my basket with Shelly's [nothing personal] demo, there I see that 'my' basket of now 11 trades had max DD of 130 pips and Shelly's basket of 21 trades has a current DD of 590 pips.

I know that both baskets started at the same time, because we both closed last friday @ NFP.
Now waiting to see how much difference the closing will give.

My settings;
- 60 min TF
- 0.01 lot per $1.000,- balance
- 20 pip minimum distance
- NO maximum distance
- CSS true/ true
- no BE-jumping stop

- MPBM to close all @ 2% of calculated balance with lotsize taking in consideration;
0.01 lot -> $20,-
0.02 lot -> $40,-
0.1 lot -> $200,-

In my opinion it makes no sence to make it more difficult for the basket to close when balance is rising without changing lotsizes, by just entering a % of balance.

Gertie,

Are you trading all pairs? If not, which ones are you trading?

Thanks
