Is it possible to setup trading on 2 different timeframes on the same account? And to use different magic numbers to not let the other one interfere with the trades?
Example using all pairs on H4 on one magic and another magic for the D1 timeframe. Does max open trades for instance handle these separate if they have different magic numbers?

Ok, here is the situation. Today, USDCAD we get a down Trend arrow along with wavy blue. HGB enters pending TrendWave and Trend multi trades as instructed by the EA. Another blue wave appears and HGB enters more pendings at roughly the same levels. Now I really have multi pendings stacking up, all in my favor but....I feel overexposed. I don't think there is a way to not have pendings multi open when you have both trend and TrendWave enabled, am I missing anything? Maybe use a reduced lot size on TrendWave to limit exposure. Closed 3000 pips today in USDCAD

I'm going to have to look into this more, for some reason there is 22 TrendWave Multi Trades open now when they all have 30pip take profit.

Could someone please explain me why HGB didn't close the trades after the wave appeared on the chart? Maybe I've missed something but I thought that HGB wouldn't make a difference between blue and yellow waves..

Thanks for your answer!

:hi:

Hi,
I'm having a lot of positions "Wave trade [sl]" opened with a value and the SL with the same value !! My SL = 20pips. I am using the latest version without any manual intervention.
Anyone else have this problem?

Are you scalping? 20 pips? To tight for me.

Yes I am testing tight values for the "Wave trade" SL= 20, TP= 35 and I'm also noticing that the TP values are not always correct because some TP positions was placed by EA at 30 pips and I did not change settings since Sunday !! !

Steve,

just saw the same behavior on EURUSD - HGB didn't close the sell trade when the blue wave appeared although the CloseOnOppositeTMA option is set to true.

I'm still running version 2o of HGB but the logic didn't change with the recent updates, right?

Cheers,
Cyrus
