Andy sent me his multi-pair trader earlier. Find it attached to post 1 here.

To explain what it does and how it works, here is the pm Andy sent:
MrLong wrote:Hi Steve,

Attached it the Multi EA, I have left the defaults to M15 trading into the direction of the trend.

The EA has two strategies, but will only run one at a time, but will be ok with a different chart and MagicNo.

1) Trade the Stochastic, 7, 2 ,2 last bar above 80 and below 20, into the main trend.

2) Trade the Rsi, 14, Close, last bar above 70 and below 30, into the main trend.


There is a setting called FollowTrend, which can be switched off if necessary, but I think this should give us the edge when trading the lower timeframes into the main trend, but I'm monitoring the best way to trade a trend with the daily, so if you trade the daily, switch off FollowTrend.

Basket stuff takes preference over any other SL/TP, if above 0.(I think :-)

You know the deal with the close buttons, just drag and they should bring up a box to confirm, then do what they say.

We are potentially discussing two ea's now, so when you post please state which one you are discussing, so we reduce the inevitable confusion to a mere moderate chaos.

MrLong,can you recommend a good broker where I can use the M.S.R.T ea?
I have tried it on Bully Pepperstone last night,5 trades-5 losses:(
And,must I close the trades manually,or will the ea do that?
Thank you very much for sharing:)

Hi,

I use Alpari(UK), you can use the basket setting:

extern int BasketPipsProfit = 300; //Set BasketPipsProfit, 0 will disable
extern int BasketPipsStopLoss = -100; //Set BasketPipsStopLoss, 0 will disable
extern int LockedInPips = 50; //Lock this amount when LockedInLevel is reached, 0 will disable
extern int LockedInLevel = 150; //LockedInPips number when this level is reached, 0 will disable

Or if these are set to 0, you can use, extern int TPtimeframe = 1440;// timeframe used to calculate take profit, set to 0.61% of the average TPtimeframe, in this case set to 1440.

SL is also set to these settings, 0.50 of the average TPtimeframe, in this case set to 1440.

extern double TakeProfitFactor = 0.61; //this is the multiple of the Avg TPtimeframe Range used to calculate TP / Basket TP takes preference if it is above 0
extern double StopLossFactor = 0.50; //this is the multiple of the Avg TPtimeframe Range used to calculate SL /Basket SL takes preference if it is below -0

Hope this helps.

The setup without trend following seems to be doing best today.
