Leon, I'm sorry but I have a very noob question.so I'm asking it here.I'll be thankful if you clarify this for me.
if I use the TDesk.tpl that you have presented in section 2, then which one of the signals are exactly as same as your section 1 trigger? multi or solo?
if I follow the solo signals for example,does it mean that I'm trading in your section 1 way of trading?

thank you.

Hi Farhad,

I asked it in "Hopelessly confused by TDesk or Desky" thread but I think you did not see it.
I'll appreciate your clarification.

I am totally confused when you are talking about sections. This is why I did not reply to you in the first place. What is section 1 and 2 because I never broke my system into sections?.

My system is simple. In order to get a solo signal all arrows must be in the same direction, that is why I set my threshold to 100. My threshold for multi signals is 25, so if you have all the arrows in one direction and a solo signal arrow and the threshold for multi signals goes above 25 you will get a supersignal with the arrow highlighted. If you have the Tdesk trading partner Ea it will open a trade a soon as you get a super signal.

this question has occupied my mind because I saw that HGI is the trigger in section 1, but in section 2 it is not. so I asked myself are these same systems or they are generally two different systems.

Hgi has always been part of my system that is why my manual system was posted in the Hgi thread in the first place and also in the automated trading thread. I use Hgi on the 15min and hourly time frame.

Cheers

Hey, just wanted to report that i'm using the latest Desky v1v since market open, and on all 3 demos on which is is active (Global Prime) I'm getting the rapid opening and closing of trades. Anyone else? Trying to find if it's something wrong in my settings. thanks

Yes, when I set "All trades belong to a single basket" to TargetPips this happens for me too.

But when I change to TargetCash the trades are not closed rapidly on my platforms.

cheers

Hi Steve

Thanks for your efforts, I will crank up Desky 1w tonight.

This week I have shifted to testing different basket closure options, hedging and also Break Even under general trade management. I have six different set-ups going with three testing the above. The four other set-ups close individually with TDesk signal change to flat or opposed and all basket and trade management off - these setups appear to be going along OK. The three with hedging, basket and trade management have all fallen over with Desky freezing and two going into rapid close and reopen mode as reported by others. Both my hedging trials also had basket options going so I can not separate these two function regarding the problems.

On the plus side also this week I have been testing use of market hours options and they worked flawlessly.

Sorry I can not help with Desky code challenges. But if you give me a specific test to do I will do that and report back. I am really looking forward to having the basket and trade management stuff working alongside market hours. I am using Trade Viewer and Trade Chart to plot what is possible with basket closure - what amazing tools to work with.......Go well with Desky you'll get there.

cheers
vince

Thanks Vince, but when it comes when it comes to testing specific code challenges it really does come down to me, unless one of the seriously bright people here something I have missed.

Mostly it just just takes hours of bug-hunting when I begin to suspect where to look.

Thanks for the offer though. Much appreciated.
