{quote} thnx for checking, we gotta make sure that this feature works, it's important. LOL, Two weeks ago when my basket reached 6% I decided to set the Manual Lock on 3%. Well the basket did well and finished at 8%. So this week I started trading and forgot to remove the Manual Lock. Well, this week I got stopped out at 3%. LOL. It worked!! Didn't need the manual lock but it worked. Oh and this was after two weeks ago that I had set the manual lock. So the EA functions after long breaks.
But i still think you need a setting that allows the lock to "creep up" to the current profit.
It will not do good on "really swinging" baskets but it will do wonders for "take off" baskets.

{quote} Okay, I worked out you are using the FX Madness indicator which is not in that list, but should work anyway So, remove the xm7 EA Press F3, a window pops up Press Ctrl + B, Ctrl + A, click Delete in the window Check the settings are as you want in FX Madness Re-apply the xm7 EA Load or adjust the settings as you wish{image}
I Have downloaded your set file, downloaded xm7 beta 13,downloaded FXM_diff3, didnt download the dill file with it.
Put FXM on chart, put your set file to it and watched it change the settings, put beta 13 on chart pressed load, loaded your file, watched it all change, nether ea or indi will show on chart, tried it the othe way around put ea on first, tried your instructoins above still wont work, if put the ea on first as soon as i put the indi on it throws it off, here's a screen shot, any ideas mate ? or Does anybody else have any ideas ? cheers M
EDIT- just re-booted computer , tried brand new window, the problem seems to be the indi wont load even with your settings the journal says its been removed.

@ xmess7,
Very good to see some discussion on stop loss settings this morning as that is exactly the questions I have
#1 - Specifically, the BeginLockingProfit (pips or %)
Does the EA decide to use pips or % from the input of the Use_SL_TP_Locks_As setting?
See picture to see clearly what I am asking
============================================================
And anyone trading New York would have noticed the fast & hard reversal of the GBP
I used the Close All Baskets button!
I checked this morning to see if I could set an individual SL on each pair
I was thinking 50% of ADR for each pair would be a good point, however, seems ADR is only used for the complete basket?
#2 - Hint, hint, I guess big job to code that ADR Stop Loss in for each pair?
For example, see the chart of GBPCHF, with ADR of 96 (50 days) would give exit of 48
As it was, I exit all trades when the GBP pairs only nose-dived
But if the EA only exit the loss trades, perhaps the basket still has a chance to make profit, right?
Studying the settings some more, I see that there is ADR but it has to be for Basket or Per Pair
What I suggest is keep the (Pips or %) Take Profit for complete Basket and then separate Stop Loss of ADR per pair
Hope that makes some sense????

Erebus, how are your trading going so far? Not on the plus side here, so far...(I'm testing your settings, who you kindly have shared.)

{quote} Thnx will look into it. this is one is an easy one to look at, so the fix will not take long..
This is why I like an opening range time of 1 hour so that it gives a pair time to enter in case it is just borderline on the 4H trend
Still could be a loser but what the hay?
