Steve, confirm that Bob is using LWMA 240 set to "Open".... agree that it doesnt make a big difference, especially not on in this context....

This will be hard-coded into the next version guys. In the meantime, make the change in your inputs.

Time thingy is working like a charm for me. I am using the local time option of the OAD (Germany, GMT+2 DST), while my broker's time is GMT+3. Settings for each day (mon - fri) send 09:00 lcl, close 18:00 lcl. The EA is running on a blank EURUSD D1 chart.

V 1a is in post 1.
I had an idea a few minutes ago, inspired by the fact that I have been manually closing baskets when happy with the profit already made and not wanting to hand it back at order close time should those markets continue to move against me.
Copied from post 1:
Hey ho. The default of 75 might be ambitious and 50 might be better. We shall see.

Copied from post 1:
Find the input in 'Basket trade management'. If I had this in place about 90 minutes ago before the chaos caused by the EU news, I would have been out at c. +75 instead of down c.200.
- CombinedOpenCloseTargetPips: trades close at TP, leaving behind the losers. OAD will close the remainder of the basket when Closed_pips - Open_pips reaches this value. A zero input turns off this feature.

I've been away from trading for a while and decided to come back for some more Hopwood fun
Please help me recall, isn't there an EA or an Indicator that makes a chart of the combined pair values which would help determine best market time to open these baskets?

Hmmm... I know there was some offline chart thing. I will dig around and find it.
