Make sure you open a demo with GP, since they don't charge margin for hedged orders. This results in lower margin overall.
Some other brokers do charge margin for hedged orders, giving you a heartattack with lots of orders open and some DD...

Thanks for your advice. I will check to see what my ECN does with hedged positions. I am currently with Tallinex. They are highly reputable, but better be safe than sorry.

I'm trying to get my head around all the options of this EA as there are a few extras different from post 1 mentions.

Thanks again,

Daniel

Well, that was fun....

Platform froze for a moment, price flying all over the place.
Spread GBPJPY opened till 12pips, triggering some buys way beyond PA.
EURUSD closed basket in good profit.

Steve, deleting when spread widens might be usefull, when noticed in time.
I watched the PA, and no way could the orders be deleted before triggered.
Choosing the right pairs might be better, caution wise.

Anyway, up over 12% in 48 hours.....

There must be something I am not understanding here. All the EA has been doing is opening up trades in an absolute MENTAL fashion.

I am testing the GBP/JPY and the EUR/JPY. Somehow it closed 2 positions at 5 pips each initially as I have my settings at TP 5 pips. But then, everything is still open and I just see the negative pips floating just keep going up and up. At one point, the pending positions just flew... I could not stop clicking the OK button on the alerts and then I set my L4 option to TRUE and it seems to have stopped then.

When you guys talk about baskets closing, at what point does this actually happen? I don't know if I have some settings wrong or my Empty4 is not liking the EA or what?

Please Steve, don't flame me for acting like a dimwit newbie.

Thanks,

Daniel

Attached my EURUSD setfile, don't just add it to the terminal, but open it and try to understand why I put in what I did.
Any questions will be answered, but please on the forum, not private.

The daily trade totals has the same bloop in it that Kevin saw in HGB.

Line 1625
if (OrderCloseTime() < iTime(Symbol(), TradingTimeFrame, 0) ) continue;

should be
if (OrderCloseTime() < iTime(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, 0) ) continue;

This is absolutely strange. I have tried your set file Gertje, and it opened up a grid. The initial grid had some set TPs as I would expect. Then, when all TPs from the grid have been achieved, the grid resets itself... as I would expect.

The strange part of this is, when the grid resets itself, the TP settings are not taking place in the newly resetted grid. Is there a reason why the second grid that appears does not take the EA settings?
