added more flexible inputs for the PartClosePercent selections, new user can define for FirstTp-,SecondTP- or BE-PartClose different values.

You find buil173 attached to the first post.

first of all: thank you for your trademanager EAs. Works fine for me for single trades so far.

I need some help with stacked trades. I read the thread and saw that there were already some questions regarding JumpingSL. Probably I have a misunderstanding of the lot of settings and how they depend on each other.

What I would like to do is to place stacked trades as Bob suggests: first trade at X, second pending at X+20, third X+40, etc. No SL for the first trade. But instead of a static TP at 30 pips I would like to leave the first trade open.
As soon as price reaches X+40, the third trade is opened, and SL of the first rade should be moved to X+20. Now we have 3 open trades.When price reaches X+60, another trade is opened and SL for the first 2 trades is moved to X+40.
Maybe there's a TP at X+100, where all trades get closed. If X+100 is not reached, all trades would be closed at X+80.

Is this already possible and could you give me some hints, please?

Thank you very much in advance,
Thomas

After tested the new updated with some new function.
Encounter an error with PartCloseAsSecondTP: when activate PartCloseAsSecondTP, all the trailing stop functions(such jumpstep, SLMinDistanceToPrice or ATRforSLMindistanceToPrice set true) will not work. once deactivated it, all that start to kick in. I need to manually turn on and off in order to lock in some profit if I want to use PartCloseAsSecondTP function. could you please to adjust that.

There is time for SL to set in: (if using PartCloseAsSecondTP function)
1) if SetBEonPartCloseFirstTP – true and SetSLToFirstTP – false, then when PartCloseAsFirstTP reached. SL will set in at BEprofit area, But it will stay there no matter how price advance further;
2) or if SetSLToFirstTP – true, when PartCloseAsSecondTP reached, SL will set in at FirstTP area, also it will stay there forever.

Another idea, I find it might be useful to add target price point and range on TP or PartCloseAsFirstTP/SecondTP.
For example:
PartCloseSecondTpPips: (if 0 means disable)
PartCloseSecondTpPrice:( for example 1.45000 )
PartCloseSecondTpRange:(i.e. set 10pips meaning 10pips to 1.45000, then Tp will take place at 1.45100 or 1.44900)
When study previous day/week price pattern, fibratio, HighLow, Trendline, Support/Resistant, roundNo. etc. there are special price point could become profit-target or support area. Those area takes time to reach or breakout. I would like to bank my profit as soon as I can, void crowding out. Using Pips is ok, but lack of flexibility, sometime it is hard to measure! Welcome any advice!

Regards,
Rick

you can try for this, that EA a coded for a simil user-request ----> http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 25#p115925
maybe it will match more your needs...

As I wrote before the JS/BE functions are disabled with the secondTP PartClose function , the only optional would be adding a PartClose function that closes with BE and every JS step part, as an alternative optional.
As I do not want to complicate this EA more, for the second partclose function, as I have doubts it is for much other users a benefit.


Cheers

1. Would second Over60's request to show more ATR -centric info in the EA feedback... I am also evaluating w/r ATR based values lead to better results than simply numeric pip values...

2. I would like to caution though that this EA is quickly becoming an unwieldy monster with so many options that newcomers will be hard-pressed to figure out how to use it... Maybe you could consider to split out a brain-storming thread for experimental versions..

3. On the same note, as many of the requests for additional functionality were made by Over60 - would he be so kind to give a brief introduction of his trading method - I am really curious for a while now...

Cheers / Mop

PS: Made the attached indicator a while ago -maybe useful for others as well...
