Hi Aram!
You are right in your explanation of how the basket calculation works today.
And it is possible to implement it.
But do you really Think that this would make a difference?
Because normally your setfile should produce a higher balance anyway...
I have used a combination of trade sl and basket tp sl and if basket TP is 1% then normally the trade losses are below 0.2%, so positive end result anyway.
If you can convince me that this is really needed then I can add it, but preferably in next round as I currently try to stabilize and document what we already have so far.

Hey TJF

Just wondering if you have seen any drawdowns like this one? I am using your set file on a $10k account

Cheers

i have changed PC's added your set file as last attached and set the time locally to London's times zone. So basically a fresh start. I now can not place trades due to error "trade content busy - error 146". So it attempts to trade and bombs out and retrys once more but then quits and loops over and over as trades come available with the same error. Have you seen this before?

Seems the EA is ready to fire a bunch of trades, getting too many signals at the same time perhaps.

MetaCrap4 is only able to handle 1 thread ("action or command") at a time. So when you try to fire 20 buy orders at a particular price, error 146 "Trade Context Busy" will likely be the result.

- Make sure you run only 1 Baluda CSS EA per terminal...!
- Restart Empty4 and try again to see if it happens again (lots of quirks in Empty4).
- Try to disable automated trading, and enable it later today when some of the signals have dissipated.
- If you know how to code you could add " if(IsTradeAllowed())" to the code prior to a market order being opened ("OrderSend()"). The boolean IsTradeAllowed() checks if Trade Context is free.

Cheers

So you let the trade SL, lets say -30, take out all your losses or due you set up a basket SL% along with your basket TP of 1%??

while(IsTradeContextBusy())Sleep(100);
	if(IsStopped())return(-1);

In my code I do test if the Trade context is busy, like this:
while(IsTradeContextBusy())Sleep(100);
if(IsStopped())return(-1);
And only after that I will call OrderSend.

If the other EA did the same then it would be less problem...

suggestion, should we have something in the settings to take in consideration obstructions like Daily Pivots,etc?
