I'm having the same issue. When the EA is started it opens the two strongest and two weakest trades as per OOTB settings then once these are closed in profit it doesn't open anymore until I restart the EA. Can't find where this is set in the code (assuming it is)?jboy wrote:Thanks for the confirmation. We have the exact same experience.

I removed and added it again and got other 4 trades.
I'll go home tonight, and remove and reset the EA at a higher CashTakeProfit to see what happens. And I'll also confirm if it opened more trades since I left my EA running all day without removing the EA.
And thanks Steve for sharing this wonderful toy, and thanks to Brijon for sharing this strategy. I will work hard at understanding what is going on, and most likely, I will just play around manually with the basket since dummies probably learn better by just doing it by hand.
It isn't. If this is the only EA you are demoing on the platform, then the problem is definitely at your end. The only potential is for ForceClose being somehow left set at 'true', but the codewebregs wrote:I'm having the same issue.

Code: Select all
if (OrdersTotal() == 0) ForceClose = false;Code: Select all
//The next routine takes care of all trade closure possibilities
CountOpenTrades();
Code: Select all
if (OpenTrades == 0) ForceClose = false;SteveHopwood wrote:Hehe. This reminds me that I intended adding a 'this ea must not be used on a live account' warning to post 1.

There are indeed configurable inputs but you can only change these at load-up time. The process is:Cheers
- Drag Pb onto the chart.
Make your input changes.
Save these changes as a setfile so you can recover them the next time you need to make edings.

.. Let's see if it's still running by next week. The other live account started at $27, 0.01 lot, currently at $41.49 .. I'm not expecting to profit from this live tests but oh well, I'll let it run till these two accounts get a margin call or blow it. I'd get extra results from these 2 live tests. Yep. Basket traders go onto one chart, otherwise you get a lot of duplicated trades.james666 wrote:Oh my god! I cannot believe you made an EA out of this too!! Excellent work - i've been following Brijon's thread on FF - little did I know all this was going on here!
As its a basket trader, does one need to load the EA on only one chart? Or do I need to do it on all pairs concerned? I have read the thread but cannot find any instructions on this specific point.

I removed the annoying alert and tried this thing on a small live account. LOL
I know it's not supposed to be used that way but I had to test it in all different accounts. I had 3 demos and 2 live account. Just small, the other account started at $12, 0.01 lot, currently at $20.49 ahahaha. I was expecting it to blow the account but it didn't
Anti live Account would be good. This EA goes without SL. However working with a basket will have distributed risk.SteveHopwood wrote:Yet another Big Spender.dus3d wrote:I removed the annoying alert and tried this thing on a small live account.

The anti-live account stuff is what I call and Idiot Check. I figure that by the time someone knows enough to remove it, they have learned enough to know when it is safe to do so. You can't get much safer than an account with $12 in it.
