Okay maybe I can add some more info: the EA is handling the stops - so if I want the basket TP at a fixed dollar or pip amount but I want it to include the losses for those trades that the EA closed so at the end of the trading period I know I made "net" what I was asking for in fixed dollar or pips - not having the basket close with say $200 profit but there were three trades that stopped out and cost me say $90 so the net would only be $110 in that instance.

Thanks,
Fire580

Here is MPBM with no magic number or comment checks - i.e. it will manage whatever is open on your platform - just set all the stop loss stuff to zero and the TP to whatever you want. Then you just need the regular MPTM set to manage "any" trades and set the SL as you want it per pair.

EDIT: I have just seen your post - I don't think this is possible. Not with any tool I have ever seen anyway.

Cheers,
Dave.

Dave, thank you again for your courteous response, I guess I'll have to keep looking or come up with a different plan.

Maybe someone can help - I have Baluda's MPBM set up with the same Magic Number as an EA and Exposure Tickets - but the trades are only showing up on Exposure Tickets - am I possibly doing something wrong or this just won't work set up like that .

Hi fire580 - if I remember correctly the comments must match too. I am not sure if this is by design but I am fairly sure this will be the issue.

Cheers,
Dave.

Hello spotdespot thanks for the answer - so the trade EA I'm using has an input for Magic Number but not for comment - whereas Exposure has inputs for both Magic Number and comment. So if I am using Magic Number of say 44 I should put 44 in Magic Number of MPBM and in Comment input of MPBT put 44 also?

Thanks,
Fire580

No the comment needs to match the comment the trade EA uses. If your trade EA doesn't use a comment or if it generates random comments then I think the only option is to comment out the part in the MPBM EA that references the comments.

If you don't know how to do that then I can have a look for you but I can't for a couple of hours.

Cheers,
Dave.

Hey fire580 - try this out. It should work but best to test it so you are happy.

Cheers,
Dave.
