Hi fxozgirl, sorry for bothering you with this... just to make it clear and to compare it with mine, could we just say you´re using Live pretty much the same settings as with Demo1a? Also using ATR for SL as well? Thanks! Demo 1a: BASA using ATR for SL (started 6/08/13), updated at (almost) every version - currently v2a Main Entry / Re-entry: Both On MA Stack: On Trade Stacking: Off Trade Management: TP 300, JS 50, BE+2 30 ATR for SL: 20, 240, 2 Half Close Enabled: True StopOpenPositionsFridayEvening: True All other settings default

Hi Viper. I am testing and following along as well. I believe Shelley indicated that she had moved her Jumping Stop to 40. Shelley: Are you liking the Stoch settings of 5,3,3 or 4,2,2 better? |

I think she also mentioned one day that she changed RsiTmaTF to use the 1H TF but not sure if main chart is still 4H as if main chart was 1H then you wouldn't need to change RsiTmaTF but I do get more trades with main chart being on 1H. I'm testing this so we'll see the outcome in a few weeks. |

Hi FxOzgirl, I have started testing the newest version OOTB. My noticed that a lot of trades hit the SL and only a few get the full TP. But looking at all the current open trades it all looks very good. Have you ever considers a BASKET closing set-up? And if so what was the results? Thanks Wapen |

I've been a bit confused by this too. Test 1b seems pretty close to the settings Shelley listed, but 1b is not getting anything close to 10% in 5 weeks!

sorry am i being majorly thick? as im running v2c and i cant find half close anywhere. im using ma stacking off for main trades, max trades = 5 and many times i get a relatively large open floating profit only for profit not to be taken / trades turning round and hitting the atr stops |

Yes I have changed jumping stop to 40 on my live account, also still using 5,3,3 for stoch at this stage, however I have just set up a new demo which replicates my live account settings using 4,2,2 stoch settings for comparison. |

Demo 3 is set up with 4H charts but rsitmaTF set to 1 hour...my live account is with rsitmatf 4H. Please let us know how your 1H TF testing goes? |

At the moment the market seem's to be running out of steam after trades make a promising start, retracing, then moving off again. So I've tried to capitalize on this by using the halfcloseenabled. If I can get a sure 30 pips every trade I take, I'm very happy...if trades take off and get full TP (which has happened) then I'm very happy. The full TP is just there for the occasional runner, generally the jumping stop takes out the trade before that. Also, because of this ebb & flow in the market, BASA is quite often getting back in on the same trades, once price has retraced...that is the ideal scenario I was thinking of when I have the re-entry trades. No, I haven't used a basket strategy...please feel free to test and share? Thanks |
