Nice one. The attachment helped me track down the problem.

There is a bloop in my logic. S only closes the basket when the profits fall below the lock in if a particular variable is set by the breakeven function. You have this disabled, and so the JSL is being ignored.

I will sort this out.

:D

Thanks Steve! If all your future bugs can be profitable ones, that would be much appreciated :D

I think you'll find in this case it isn't a bug but an "undocumented feature".... When it costs pips it's a bug. :lol:

I closed my London basket down about 3 hours before NFP.

My New York basket will go in half an hour before NFP. Should be fun to watch what happens. No way in the world would I do this with live cash. :lol:

V 1t in post 1, with the undocumented feature fixed. I think.

If you are using breakeven or not using jsl, you do not need the update.

Not enough history in real or may be those pairs are not enable in live. Try Show All in Market View.
Thank you phil, vivaldi, armen,
it was a historydata problem with the real account. With V409 i could not download D1 datas; Alpari told me that they had problems to keep the history data with V409. I should update on the newes V427. I started a new installation (new folder). Now everything is just fine.
Have a nice weekend and many pips next week

OK, I gave up on S+G and went to classic Shelley. Told it to open at 1:00 local time, which would be 7:00 London = 10:00 crim time.

It opened trades at 05:55 local time (??) and closed them 2 minutes later (!?) for a -13.31 loss.

This is V1r, with these settings:

extern int BasketSendHour=1;
extern int BasketSendMinute=0;
extern int ComeWhatMayCloseHour=24;//Set to > 23 to disable.
extern int KeepAliveHours=0;
extern int SlopeConfirmationTimeFrame=0;//Set to zero to disable
extern int TmaTrueTimeFrame=0;//Zero to disable
extern int AdaptivePipsTakeProfit=30;//Pips per open trade. A zero input will disable this.
extern int AdaptivePipsStopLoss=40;//Pips per open trade. A zero input will disable this.
extern int AdaptiveBreakEvenProfitPips=10;//Set to zero to disable this function
extern int AdaptiveBreakEvenProfitPipsLock=2;//Pips per open trade. A zero input will disable this.
extern int AdaptiveJumpingStopPips=5;//Zero to disable
