Waaaaaayyyyyy ahead of you.

Still awaiting the plumber, so V 1e is in post 1.

AdaptivePipsTakeProfit is multiplied by the number of open trades to arrive at a pips tp for the entire basket. Eventually, I will extend this to the cash take profit.

Thinking about it, I have a few hours yet. For those of you who know UK geography, my journey down to Somerset takes me around the Birmingham box. If I leave here at about 2/00 pm, I will hit the box just as it gridlocks for the evening rush. I may as well leave later, as I will not arrive any later.

Apologies if this can already be done with MPTM but it doesn't look like it to me and it seems like it would be a pretty good idea for this strategy to avoid issues of setting the EA running then seeing a significant retrace?

I like the idea of this as well

I have extended the breakeven stuff to allow cash-based breakevens. The code is not quite robust enough to withstand you mixing both cash and pips-based breakevens, so only use either one or the other.

I have added code that should allow the breakeven to remain in place following a platform restart.

I have tested none of this code, so there may be the odd bug lurking.

No more planned for now, so download with a reasonable degree of confidence that the next update is a couple of days away.

I am having a blast. I hope Bob is watching this, Shelley. He loves it when someone finds an extra wrinkle in his systems and he will be very proud of you.

Is the global closure working? Mine's set to OOTB 400 pips - I'm currently up over 500 and still going strong, all in the last hour!

I've noticed that OOTB 400 pips is really 4000 pips on a 5 digit criminal. I put mine 40 pips in the EA and it's now correctly targeting 400.0 pips.

Wish me luck.

Good luck.

Actually I think the guys have a point ( ). Pips and points have become a little confused in the EA somewhere - I was up "400 points" according to the EA this morning (with a 4000 point target) but it was actually 400 pips.

EDIT: I have tried to see if I can spot the issue but it is too damned hot in this cr@ppy office to concentrate.
