Thanks :)
If I understand you right you want a kind of basket-close counter, and a user selectable input after how much basket-closes the simpleAllPairTM should deactivate EA trading.
If other users will find this a usefull optional I will consider this for a next update.

Cheers :)

ap. 22, 2015
As it was requested to have a basket-close counter, and an user selectable input after how much basket-closes the simpleAllPairTM should deactivate EA trading. Here is the update presenting this function, if wished, you will find the new input:
disableAfterXBasketCloses at exp. if you want to deactivate all EA trading after the second basketclose set this to 2 (OOTB it is set 0 so it will be ignored, EA trading will be deactivated after the first close) .
Note this has only effect if you have set disableExpertsAfterClose to true.
You find the version 1.10 (I) attached as always at the first post.

Cheers :)

Thanks again for the disableAfterXBasketCloses parameter as it is fully functional for me. If I may, I'd like to ask for a cosmetic enhancement? :oops: Would it be possible to receive a Push alert for the basket close reporting the profit or loss?

Thanks Milanese for coding the basket-close counter idea. I think this will be very useful for my trading style.

Is an expanding JS possible?
Example: js = $10.00
ExpandingJSpercent= 20
1st Jump $10
2nd Jump $12 ($10 +20%)
3rd Jump $14.40 ($12 +20%)
4th Jump $17.28 ($14.40 + 20%)
5th Jump $20.74 ($17.28 + 20%)
MaxExpandingJumps=5

A fixed $10 js is good when one or two trades are open and in profit. When 3,4,5 etc trades are in profit then $10 is too small and will be prematurely close trades. Could expanding js solve this problem.

Thanks Peter
I will consider such a function, if there will be some other users asking for such a functionality, as it will make the simpleAllPairBasketTM some what less simple to use..

Cheers :)

Hi Milanese
I would like to use your SAPBM and try to understand the settings. I am not sure, if I read the ootb settings as they are meant:

The EA has to be activated
At basket close pending orders will be deleted, the EA will be disabled and will not be automatically reactivated.
At 5% Profit of initial balance (suppose 5k) the basket closes (+250$). In loss the EA uses a 2.5 Balance Percent for a SL-Close (-125$).
Break Even at a Profit of 200$ gets overwritten by the initial balance Percent for Setting BE of 1.5% (75$).
After another 125$, at 200$ Profit BE gets raised by 25$.


Milanese, is this right?
wouldn't it make sense to define MinDistanczCashSLinWinToEquity and JS-Size as a percentage of balance or easier of Basket-Closue.

Thanks for your great work, Mike

It seems you understood the OOTB setting right, but be careful with the latest update the OOTB setting was changed , deactivating EA trading after basketclose is set to false.
About the % for the MinDistanczCashSLinWinToEquity, this is an idea that I will consider for a next update, I am not sure what most users here prefer a % value or a fixed value...

Cheers :)
