DislikedI'm not so sure, but then I coded the EA and know how it tries to deal with failed basket trade closures. I am afraid that the dreaded TradeContextBusy error is impossible to work around, and some brokers appear to use this for fun.
Doesn't stop me trying, though. I have increased the slippage from 3 to 10 - download from the first post as usual.

DislikedJust discovered this handy EA and testing it on my demo account.
One thing i'm investigating is the partial close in conjunction with BreakEven routine. It says that those can be combined, but from my tests and reading the code it seems that partial close can only be used with JumpingStop.
(Mind you, i'm not a programmer).
I guess, what I'm asking is this:
Can this EA close part of my position at breakEven pips without using JumpingStop or any other trailing routine? That would be handy.
Any help with this greatly appreciated.

DislikedHello Steve,
I just want to say a very big thank you for this EA.
You have suceeded in solving a major set back in my trading career.
As U know, entering a trade is not the issue, but its how and when you exit that matters, because it's the profits or losses that determines if ur trading decision was right or wrong.
I am a full time 9-5 worker, and like many others , have been struggling to manage F/T employment and trading. As such I trade at work (discreetly) from my PDA /mobile phone.
Before now, am able enter trades according to my signals,...Ignored
DislikedIt didn't before you posted this, so I have added code to make this possible. Let me know if it does not work properly.
Details and download in post 1 as usual.

Just throwing a idea around.. not sure if its possible.. many times when my trade is near my Take Profit Target.. I wish my Trailing Stop can Tighten on its own.. so as to squeeze as much profit as possible before it turns Hope you know what I mean?
For example, if my target is 100 pips and it hit 80 pips and I got a 50 pips trailing stop set on it.. so if it falls to 30 pips.. it would close and I would only get 30 pips.. and lose the 50 pips due to trailing stop..
So my question is can...Ignored

DislikedI propose an additional feature - closing positions on pressing short key combination (for currency displayed on the chart):
Close All - Shift+F9
Close Buy orders -Shift+B+F9
Close Sell Orders -Shift+S+F9
Sometimes I have to exit manually all positions or all buys or sells and there is no option for that in MT4.
Hope you love the idea as well.Ignored

DislikedI know for a fact there is an EA that uses hot keys to open trades. So that should be possible to close them as well in MT4.Ignored
