In addition, what I could tell about the Trend Direction filter:

Firewight is right: “The more filtering though, the less trades, but possibly better quality trades...”.

Here I would not consider trading live without this filter. From my preliminary tests, I can say that:

- As some signals are filtered there are less trades
- When basket go directly into profit, baskets without this filter have more profit has there are more trades or lots without this filter
- As there are less trades there is less margin used
- Drawdown is really less important thank without the filter

So equity is better used with this filter…
Geko,

Thanks for the confirmation and extra explanation. I did see it in the pdf manual and totally understand it, I think it is awesome and something that no one else has access to, so very much appreciated.

I am using it, and might turn off the Candle Direction filters, hey, I just had an idea....

When the Candle color filters are off they do not display.

Would it be possible to leave them on the screen and have the message On / Off down where the other messages are, that is on the line with @ Signal, @ Trend, @ Level

Also, maybe there could be a heading also? eg MN , W1 , D1 like that?

We could be using only 1 of the time frame for filtering with EA but still be able to see all 3 time frames display, and know which are On / Off.

The purpose would be, they make great confirmation for entering additional trades as per the Trade Buttons you are working on now.

So if we see the EA has entered some trades, and the price action looks good, and the candle color all agrees with our direction, manually enter some extra positions.

Thanks so much for your excellent work, much appreciated, John
Sure John, I will tweak that later to offer more flexibility ;-)

But I keep it for later as I am on the Virtual Basket stuff at the moment and it should keep me busy a few hours :cry:

Hi Geko, to update information on this, I had the DB open the same signals automatically at LO, and it only opened 1 trade per signal as expected. So I guess its the ALL button causing multiple trades to be placed on the same symbol...
You are right, post 1 updated with V 1.06.

I have included an additional control which should avoid this issue with manual orders. I let you test it and potentialy report me ;-)
Unfortunately after testing the V1.06 it is still opening multiple trades with the ALL button using Strat 2...

I have just checked your video, please let it available the time for me to fix the bug.

From what I see it appears on sell setup...
No problem mate, just letting you know!

Fortunately, the live account did this, I copied the set file over so I still haven't figure it out.

An anomaly I noticed, when I install a new version eg. 1.06 and then Load the set file, the Version readout out within the EA reverts to v 1.0

However, the on screen displays G i G v 1.06 so I'm guessing that's okay

When you load the set its loading whatever version text was in your previous set into that field...

Yes, I figured that much, just wanted to point it out, and maybe Geko can figure a way to have it read from the current version of the EA, or maybe it doesn't need to be there as it shows on the screen anyway.

Not a big deal but just like to be assured that was using the latest version, thanks
