Let's see if the Fed's interest rate decision moves the basket significantly. Coming up in 4 and half hours.

I do not use a VPS. There is no need to sit in front of your PC. The EA takes care of opening the VB and the RB is the trigger is hit. In case the basket spikes up I have a profit lock set to close the basket in profit. If the basket spikes against ...

I think it is accurate. You can compare to what I wrote in post #16,899.

I decided to take my profit early and closed the basket for +47 pips. The basket was open for only 5 hours. There is an old saying, "no one ever went broke taking profits".

My RB opened about 30 minutes ago after reaching trigger value of -250 pips. Currently at +45 pips.

In hindsight, I wish I had opened two baskets at the same time and let one keep running until Friday or TP or SL. That way I could compare results and fine tune the exit strategy. That was an opportunity lost. I look forward to seeing the results of ...

Every week, after I close a RB, I open a new VB so I can track what the RB would have done had I not closed it. There are times where it would have gone higher and there are times when it would have turned around and turned lower. I have not ...

Jess, the trigger values are not set in stone and it is possible that they may change over time. For now, I am happy where they are. I would not modify the EA to have the values as default. Others may have their own ideas on the proper trigger ...

Post #16,899 shows my input values and an explanation on how I use the system. The trigger value needs to be changed from week to week, depending on the number of pairs in the basket.

CCFp weekly signals (set and forget basket trading)

The trigger value is based on the number of trade suggestions as follows: 5 or less pairs, trigger value -150 pips 6 to 10 pairs, trigger value -250 pips 11 to 14 pairs, trigger value -350 pips 15 or more pairs, trigger value -450 pips

Yes, 21% for "Negative Trigger"

CCFp weekly signals (set and forget basket trading)

I really like the "Negative Trigger Method". Easy, straightforward, and stress free. This year I'm up 21% so that puts me on pace for more than 60% for the year. My target for the year is 50%.

My "Negative Trigger" VB (9 pairs) triggered a RB with trigger level -250 pips at 03:00 AM CST Wednesday morning. I watched all morning but there was not much volatility. Maximum = +85 pips, minimum = -73 pips. I manually closed the basket after 11 ...

Wow, we are very close.

Last year I was using -400 pips as the trigger for a 12 pair basket. This year I'm using -350 pips. I reduced my trigger levels after missing a couple of baskets by a few pips like you did. I opened this week's VB on Tuesday 14:10 GMT, without the ...

That's a shame, to miss out on a nice profit. How are you calculating the trigger value?

CCFp weekly signals (set and forget basket trading)

Jess is working on the VB reset issue when changing properties. At least in your case, it looked as if it had little chance of triggering a RB since it was so positive. But the VB set for reverse trigger did not reset. Maybe that will provide ...

Jess, I ran a test today using v50.0. I had the VB running all day. I had "Run vBasket with no triggers/no reset" = true. I edited properties a few times during the day with no problem. I waited until the GMT date change and went into EA properties ...

CCFp weekly signals (set and forget basket trading)

Thanks, Jess. I'm running a test now. So far so good. The only thing that remains is to wait for the GMT date to change in about 12 hours.
