Thanks, I'll get on it first thing Sunday. I'll add the snippet to BnG v1z and place it on 12 HI charts.
I noticed at least 5 other members asking for the same thing on Basket EA's on this forum.

Again Thanks

Hi Ray,

I for one am very interested in knowing how it works out. I'm trading HGBnG live on H1 and at the moment have some pairs in DD. I'll like to keep them open, but they are far off from closing a combined basket. However if I let the EA open a few more pairs with potential of closing individual baskets it would help the overall picture and give my losing pairs time to dig themselves out of a hole

So thank you and please let us know how it goes. It would be great to have this extra feature to play with

Here is the reason for the Basket PL/SL

I believe this Basket could be useful in all multi symbol, grid trade EAs.

This one can be used for your purpose ?

◦ BasketCashSl: the individual pairs' basket of trades closes when their combined
loss hits this cash total.
◦ BasketCashSlPercent: the individual pairs' basket of trades closes when their
combined loss hits this percentage of balance figure.
◦ BasketCashTp: the individual pairs' basket of trades closes when their combined
profit hits this cash total.
◦ BasketCashTpPercent: the individual pairs' basket of trades closes when their
combined profit hits this percentage of balance figure.

I have attached some snippets of code that you can use for this purpose:

In a nutshell, assuming that each single-chart EA (that opens multiple symbols and multiple of the same symbol), has a unique MagicNumber:

• First get the list of unique open symbols
• For each symbol in that list
  • Determine its "symbol-specific" basket profit
  • If that basket profit exceeds a given BasketTP or BasketSL, close that basket

That's all to it. I haven't tested the attached code as that is your job.

Have fun.

What better time to test a basket, GPB went wild but failed. My SL was -100.

See attached: charts and EA I used.

Thank you

I'll give it a try but I don't think it works that way

Thanks

I know your busy with your new EA G&G. When you get a chance could you check to see what I have wrong in my addition of Basket TP SL. The recent volatility certainly shows the need for this option. I put separate magic numbers, 1-12, for each symbol/chart.

Thanks for your interest

Holy Graily Bob 'n Grid v1z H1-BasketTpSl.mq4

This request got somehow snowed under.

The "Holy Graily Bob 'n Grid v1z H1-BasketTpSl.mq4" EA is clearly a single-symbol EA. It may open multiple trades of the same symbol (all with the same MagicNumber), but it will won't ever open trades for a different symbol. Therefore the CheckForClosures() function should just be:

Code: Select all

void CheckForClosures() {

   if(!UseBasketPair) return;
   
   double basketProfit = BasketProfit( _Symbol, MagicNumber );
   if ( ( basketProfit > BasketTP ) || ( basketProfit < BasketSL ) ) {
      CloseBasket( _Symbol, MagicNumber );
   }
}

The code snippets I suggested earlier, were meant for one multi-symbol controller EA that would check all symbol-specific baskets to see if they would have exceeded a given BasketTP or BasketSL. As the basket code has been added to a single-symbol EA (each installed on a different symbol/chart), we only need to worry about that symbol (i.e. _Symbol).

Hope this helps. I have attached the modified "Holy Graily Bob 'n Grid v1z H1-BasketTpSl.mq4".

Cheers ...

I've tested it each and every way but no Basket action each with as low as 20 &-20 to 50& -50 . I tried Basket only see GBPCAD tradereport. I tried basket with atrTP, BE & JS but no basket action.
I had noticed that the error 4200 was showing up when ever the UseBasketPair was false, so I took out the " // if(!UseBasketPair) return;" at 6593 and that stopped the error 4200. Apparently a false "return" was running the buttons again. I don't know what the correct syntax should be.

Let me know what you think.
