Same thing here. Cash $5 yesterday, then did nothing over night.
I removed and added it again and got other 4 trades.

Thanks for the confirmation. We have the exact same experience. Between the 2 of us, we made $10 since my Cash is also $5 yesterday. I like beer money! A few more $5 cashouts, and I may upgrade to some fancy Belgium beer.

I'll go home tonight, and remove and reset the EA at a higher CashTakeProfit to see what happens. And I'll also confirm if it opened more trades since I left my EA running all day without removing the EA.

And thanks Steve for sharing this wonderful toy, and thanks to Brijon for sharing this strategy. I will work hard at understanding what is going on, and most likely, I will just play around manually with the basket since dummies probably learn better by just doing it by hand.

if (OrdersTotal() == 0) ForceClose = false;

      //The next routine takes care of all trade closure possibilities
      CountOpenTrades();

if (OpenTrades == 0) ForceClose = false;

There are indeed configurable inputs but you can only change these at load-up time. The process is:

• Drag Pb onto the chart.
  Make your input changes.

As its a basket trader, does one need to load the EA on only one chart? Or do I need to do it on all pairs concerned? I have read the thread but cannot find any instructions on this specific point.

I removed the annoying alert and tried this thing on a small live account. LOL

I know it's not supposed to be used that way but I had to test it in all different accounts. I had 3 demos and 2 live account. Just small, the other account started at $12, 0.01 lot, currently at $20.49 ahahaha. I was expecting it to blow the account but it didn't .. Let's see if it's still running by next week. The other live account started at $27, 0.01 lot, currently at $41.49 .. I'm not expecting to profit from this live tests but oh well, I'll let it run till these two accounts get a margin call or blow it. I'd get extra results from these 2 live tests.

Yet another Big Spender.

The anti-live account stuff is what I call and Idiot Check. I figure that by the time someone knows enough to remove it, they have learned enough to know when it is safe to do so. You can't get much safer than an account with $12 in it.
