Overtrading is the reason, and behind the overtrading is plain simple greed.

I know where I screwed up, and IF the account survives [margin has been as low as 125%], I know how to proceed.

The live account is doing slightly better, margin wise, but is deeeeep in the hole as well.
The "fully auto" account is doing well compared to the other ones, with "just" a 16% DD at the moment.

I'll keep you posted.

Did you intervene manually over the past few days, or is it still running in full "auto" ?

It is i-profittracker, should floating around at SHF.

1. When RecoveryProfitPips is hit, the EA does not close the recovery trades.

extern string rec1="---- Recovery ----";
extern bool Trade1UseRecovery=true;
extern int Trade1TradesToConstituteRecovery=3;
extern int Trade1RecoveryProfitPips=60;

2. Basket trading does not close the basket when either the BasketCashTarget or BasketCashPercentageTarget is reached.

extern string tb1="---- Trade1 basket trading ----";
extern bool Trade1AsBasket=true;
extern int Trade1BasketCashTarget=0;
extern double Trade1BasketCashPercentageTarget=1;

3. Similar to 2 above, the Global basket has the same problem.

//Treating every trade open on the platform as part of a basket.
extern string bas="---- Basket trading ----";
extern bool AllTradesBelongToBasket=true;
//'Hard take profit'
extern double BasketCashTakeProfit=0;
extern double BasketCashPercentageTarget=10;

Has anyone else experienced these problems? Has anyone had these features working properly?

So if the user aims for 60 pips in totall over the 3 trades, he should enter "20" in the corresponding field.

I believe I abandoned the basket trading due to weird closures in the past, not sure anymore.
Don't care either, since the individual pairs are doing just fine on their own.
I have no need for a basket TP, when a pair has more trades open then the specified number in the recovery section, it handles these trades as a basket.

Thanks Gertje. This saves me from some unnecessary brain pain.
