It is the work of seconds to add a stop loss if you really want one. Our experience in over a decade of basket trading is this: basket stop losses are hit far more often than they allow the markets to move in our favour.

Let ne out it more directly, They are a 100% guarantee of losing.

Doesn't mean I will not add the feature if you really are daft enough to ignore the received wisdom of many traders acquired over more than a decade. It will just make you look silly in the eyes of the rest of us. Sing out if you are still idiotic enough to ask me to add it. I will do so without further teasing.

Truth to tell, I had forgotten about the bot until telaso posted about it. One of the advantages of using Eaymon's vps is that I can leave a demo running without worrying about computer resources.

Following reading telaso's post I visited the demo. It has lost c.35% of its starting value.

Doesn't look like a goer to me.
