Hi Guys.

I am playing with hedging as opposed to a SL.

I was wondering if anyone has a tool that closes all trades on a specific pair when BE is reached? Had a fiddle with MPTM but i think you need to use its own hedging to get it to close at BE, i would like to keep dropping trades at the places i think are right but the tool close when the trades when they all meet BE?

Any help appreciated.

Ok here you go, use BEProfit for setting the BE minProfit you want for closing all positions of the pair you set the EA on.., you can set a magicnumber if you want..

Hi Tommaso,

The ea has just closed a couple of trades at breakeven.....unfortunately, it was breakeven between gpdcad and audchf trades that I was using for hedges on their respective pairs.

Wondering if you could have another quick look? I would only want to close the audchf trade, for example, when audchf was at breakeven.

Thanks as ever!

it should only manage the pair you attach the EA.., but I will take a look what happened .. could you make a sccreen shout from the EA messages log output that Empty4 shows..
I tested the EA here and it closed only the trades from the pair attached, when this pair reached BE and I had the EA attached at the two pairs that had positions open..
Cheers :)

As I see the EA did how it should, closed each pair position, when each position reached BE, see journals you posted(was ech 1 position open).., maybe I missunderstand what exactly the EA should do you need..

Cheers :)
