Yes - the 9 or 10 pairs with the highest daily range. It seemed a good idea in theory ......

Yours isn't doing to bad, I notice an average of around 600-900 pip drawdown with my tests. Dont freak out till it starts claiming those losses

. With my current tests there hasn't been to many huge losses, mainly around 150 pips loss which is fine if you manage your money right. Give it time

It should rebound.

My first basket closed and all positions are in green
This is a very good start

And basket closure with 1%

Am not greedy
Not faring quite so well here:-

I must be the kiss of death for EAs.

Note not one that demands that we identify chart 0 - we already have that one and it doesn't work. Just one that when dragged onto a chart cries, "Ehup guys. Let's convert all the other charts on this crapform to look just like me. Time to party." And does the damn job.
I think it can be done in a way like that:

Absolutely bloody fantastic.

Attached here for now - I will put it in post 1 later. It is a script.

Quick question about the parameter MAXTRADES:

Does it refer to:

a) The number of positions in an individual pair's basket (E.G Max 10 EURUSD buy trades, as per the EA'S rules)
or
b) The number of baskets the EA is going to open, (E.G Max 10 different symbol "baskets" of trades...?)

Please clarify

Please clarify

Individual pairs. MaxTrades = 3 means 3EU, 3 GU etc.

It helps to remember that FB is not a basket trader. I stumbled on trading it as a basket by accident.

Maybe a silly/dumb/stupid question...But,after loaded the script,do we have to change the magicnumber for each pair?

I didn't, makes it easier for the trade-manager.
