I removed the attachment(as it would not work as intended), but I will consider for a next update this feature...
It will need some recoding of the entire structure.

Thanks Tommaso for the explanation. If I'm understanding it correctly, what we need to achieve this feature is to calculate ONLY the profit/loss of the magic ?¿?¿? Am I missing something else?

This recorded value would be allowed to be overwritten the next time trading resumes after a basket close.

Your sapbm works flawlessly and I use it more and more. There is one issue, I do not know how to handle and for which I have a whish. (I remember some ea having this option but I do not remember which and how.)
If I set Basket Profit 3% and only 2 trades start off it is a very different situation as when 11 trades are in a basket. To make the story short, could you add a feature that defines basket profit in relation to the number of trades in the basket either as a) the sum of x pips per trade ore b) the sum of y atrMultiBascetProfit of each trade.

Basket USDCAD, ATR 113; GBPUSD, ATR 148;EURUSD, ATR 135

Scenario 1
set Profit at an average of x = 25 Pips (arbitrary) in Profit per Pair
3 Pairs --> Basket close at 75 Pips in Profit

Scenario 2
set profit at the sum of each pair's y = atrMultiBasketProfit = 0.3 (arbitrary)
USDCAD = 0.3 *113 = 33.9
GBPUSD = 0.3*148 = 44.4
EURUSD = 0.3*135 = 40.5
3 Pairs --> Basket closes at 118.8 Pips in Profit

perhaps there is a better way to relate target profit to basket size.
Thanks for consideration Mike

Talking about next update...

I woul like to have
MinDistanzCashSLinWinToEquity
and
JS_CashAdd

as a % of initial balance.

In fact, I use 3% of initial balance for MinDistanzCashSLinWinToEquity and 2% for JS_CashAdd, but I have to calculate both values on every basket close, and restart the EA (minor problem if I am online )

And yes, this could be named "awesomebasketmanager"

Thank you very much for this EA!
