I will use the Awesome v1q set that this idea is working best so far on for illustration.
GP demo. $400 account balance.
Attached will be my Basket settings for now, TradeReport past 24 hours and set file if anyone interested to look at. Work in progress
By Global Basket Trading setting I mean a setting of hard cash (or percentage, I like cash) across all open trades on the chart that the EA is attached to. Right now on any Awesome chart I have this set attached to, when $5 is reached all trades will close and EA begins anew. No DD. I don't mean close across entire platform as other charts with EA's attached would be doing their own thing. (If I am misunderstanding the question please let me know).
At this time I have an additional Symbol Basket Trading set at same $5 as the Global. This appears to be allowing EA to take $5 symbol profits while other pairs with smaller amounts will be working toward the Global target, or heading to DD.
I had a chance to close all negative trades once during this period when DD got to around -$32...I would not have let DD get lower than -$20 had I been home....there was enough positive trades for the EA to immediately close for a +$5 and the EA was ready to go again with 0 DD.
Will begin anew next week and with some posted successful sets that were fast gainers to see how goes.
Looking to try running from just before London open thru NY overlap next week each time as well as 24 hours.

EDIT: See edit in prior post above....I believe the set file to still be a pretty good starting point....does a
fair job and better with some tweaking.
