Still concerned about the lack of SL per symbol, I'm not looking to destroy the function of the EA comparing Profit with loss to exit but the run away pairs such as -150 to -270 pips need some controls. It seems once the symbol is headed down the losing path it won't change very fast. I have an idea a Basket SL per symbol, would let us sleep at night. I know there's no grantee it will make us all winners but past performance has shown a -100 pip per symbol would help. Steve´s answer is very clear: "As to a basket stop loss, absolutely not. I have coded many basket trading EA's. Apart from ultimate failure, they all have one thing in common: a basket stop loss kills trading stone dead.".
Steves correct "stone dead "but it allows for a newer more up to date entry. See my chart, loser got dropped with a -36/487 pips lose, by your EA and I still don't know why, then 10 minutes later entered a winning basket. As long as the stop loss doesn't interfere with the winner’s depth of loss, it can help.
I have a low TP which gives the EA with an H4 Time frame room to run in the BSS direction.

I have your EA compiled with BasketTPSLperpair, I'll test it and see how well it works or not. Would you allow me to post it here for others to test. See my charts as to why I believe this particular EA could benefit from this addition if you are not HEDGING.
I have had several large baskets close with approximately 200pip losses. When you get a moment can you enlighten us as to how the 200 pip Loss got implemented I don’t know of any code in the EA that would close baskets at 200 pips. It might be mere chance. Are you still getting 200 pip basket closures?
I have more large losses which closed themselves, see the setfile, trade history and the charts for further help in solving this question.
Quite possibly you already have a controlling factor/function in this EA which is really placing a SL of some sort. Now that I have a Basket per pair, I’ll try to find the factor again but your hedging and … blows my mind.

PS: I got it, Look at the time of the losing basket its right at 0400.002. The EA may be closing all close of previous basket. I checked all my spreadsheets. Well 7 losers were closed at the Open or close/change of candle and remember the 39 positions that closed with a 1.69 gain it also was closed at the changed of candle. So its not a win or lose closing its a candle closing. If you need to see the other 8 Closures let me know.
PSS: I also question why, as you can see from the charts, we so limited to good entries. Remember I'm only using the H4 BSS Time frame.
I'm still using the set file from page 2.
So what do you think? Do you have a close of candle function?? Can we get rid of it??
We Are almost there.
