fchaman- No Problem. The changes I referred to are highlighted in BOLD ABOVE .
To Run the EA on H1 I made the above changes and ran the EA on a H1 Chart. The only hard coded section I know of is the MA stacking module it is coded to H4 only so you have to either set it to false or change period to 0 or NULL or one of the two ma slowkey variables in the code. See below:

if (useMaStackForMainTrade && (!detectMaStack(Symbol(), PERIOD_H4, FastStackMaPeriod, SlowStackMaPeriod, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE, OP_BUY, 0))) return;

I imagine that using the 240 and 960 moving averages gives the same entries as on the four hour just 3 hours sooner. What I was wondering if others had tried is using the 60 and 240 on the H1 also. Since the 200 and 50 MAs are used as S/R on all time frames for every market I know of the 240 and 60 on H1 might also give good trades with perhaps with a higher frequency, tighter stops and lower take profits.

Just to see what would happen I started a M15 demo in this fashion and had good results in the short run. Account up 1% for a while, 60 % win several winning stack trades so now I know that stacking works well with this version.

I am going to start a M30 demo as well. Will let y'all know how they turn out.

I've got it - the simple version To match what Steve and others are doing on H1. Setup BASA on H4 as "normal" (Shelley live set for example). Change all charts to H1. That's all you need to do. If you want to visually track the trades on the charts then change the LWMA's you have on the chart template to 960 and 240 and the RSITMA to show H1, but this is not essential as the EA doesn't care, but you will understand the entry points better. Cheers, Dave.

Hey FxTrucker - did you read all the previous posts since your last? Your changes in bold do not replicate the setups that Steve and others are using to great success, whilst your results with those changes haven't been great. So given the choice..... Cheers, Dave.

Hi Dave, This is my first post here. Where is Shelley live settings located, (what date?) or which OOTB setting/s need to change to reflect H4 "normal" on H1 charts, please? Regards, Knut

Regards, Knut Welcome pipstar, Basically the settings are outlined here: http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... ive#p77611 If you jump to that post she is basically using everything else OOTB. There are some clarification questions asked after that post (one by me!). You don't need to change anything from the H4 setup for H1 except changing the actual chart timeframe to H1. My post above explains but basically as the EA is still running off the H4 60 and 240LWMA's but the H1 RSITMA then if you want to see why the EA is entering trades where it does - ON THE CHART but NOT in the settings you can change the 240LWMA to a 960 LWMA (4 * 240) and the 60LWMA to a 240LWMA (4 * 60) and the RSITMA to use H1. Cheers, Dave.

Yes I see I misunderstood and I had asked because my results were so much worse than those reported by others, TX all

Hello, I put BASA on ECN live account, with a little money ($350) about two weeks ago... version 2n, default settings, TF H4, attached the results so far... is it a normal behavior for BASA? Broker is FXChoice with acceptable conditions, they support many expert advisors by default.... Does anyone have the same or similar results / trades on live? Best regards, Zolie

Entitas wrote:Yes Zolie, your results basically match mine as well. H4 default settings. Broker Sensus Capital Markets. The ea is struggling from 2 weeks or so, let's see in the next weeks how it will works. Entitas. Hi Entitas, I hope you have that nice gbpnzd +54 pips today!
