One of my PC is down so I can only test limited setups. I replaced Trailing for Stop before going to bed. Really glad did that. Bascket was stopped when PA turned. {image} {image} {image} {image} This one is still open. {image} {image}

Of course I do. I don't post them because it's discouraging. However with your tools the winning rate is high.

I bought at 14.06 and set after that a buytouch (reverse) as seen on the screenshot - but this buytouch wasnīt taken by the expert.
So is it possible to add this function to the expert?

Thanks, sweety

Hi Sweety , sorry to "jump in" ..so , you already have a BUY in progress ..and want to add another BUY while in DD ...is this what you want to do ? . This is a Grid trading approach ..( which is not bad) . I did tried this to play with the toy. It is not possible ( for now) , but what you can do ( I did it ..works ok) is : opening another instance of the same offline chart and load another TTM to it ... so , you can add , martingale , edge ..whatever your trading style is... . your new TTM will have a new magic number generated , so in fact you will be trading 2 baskets of the same pairs , but with ENTRY at different level , you will need an EA that monitor profit dd equity ..maybe TP SL TS .... or just a script close all ..while looking at your terminal pips count ...

EDIT : maybe if you set same magic number for both TTM instance ..would work ...try it and report please ... maybe is just messed up al pip count ...quite sure of this , ..but maybe not.

Try this but i do not know if it works.
It is difficult to test because you have to be on the wrong side of a trade for that.

You have to turn the "Only add to positive trades" of in the settings.
Once you are in a wrong trade like this Sell going wrong, click on add to generate add lines.
Then select an add line and drag it (them) to the place you want to add to the wrong trade.

Again not sure if there is coding to prevent this currently, i have to look into it.

Edit, TTM removes the add on bar close, so you do not have to try this for now.

I'm testing something new. When a bascket is closed by reversal I don't refresh it. Instead I open a new bascket with the old selections so I may trade a trend from the beginning.

Too bad this version of TTM doesn't support multiple "Adds".

The red news has just killed the bascket. The profit is still acceptable.

If I set the stop properly before the news I could still be a millionair lol.

Sorry but can i ask a few questions?

1. I did not set a target profit initially for a 'buy' trade. After going up for some pips, i decided to go to sleep and set a profit line..but the profit line is now below the current price. When i try to drag the profit line higher up, it closes my trades at the current price. How could I circumvent this problem?

2. For the add line, is it added when the price touches it or break? Because sometimes it opens extra trades at the 'add' lines but sometimes it do not. And I am sure the spreads are within limit. A bit confused with the add lines.

Thanks!

2. That depends on the settings, both break and touch are possible.

1. is a bit unclear to me but is sounds that the trades where not automatically closed even after the take profit line was reached ?
Did you allow the robot to close trades ?

I think that you don't have a screenshot but could you next time make one, a picture says more that a thousand words.

Hello fxm,

Sorry but can I ask something. Looking at the profit/loss of each pair, why does it not all add up to the total profit/loss? I know I am overlooking something simple.

{image} Hello fxm, Sorry but can I ask something. Looking at the profit/loss of each pair, why does it not all add up to the total profit/loss? I know I am overlooking something simple.
The total profit under P/L is calculated using the profit the broker reports in the Account History.
That is the profit +/- swap and -commissions so the net profit.

If you click on the small [p] button the p/l is given in account currency and should match up with what your broker is reporting.

Hi Fxmadness,
Today I have built a chart with only two pairs as selected by indicator.
EURCHF SELL
AUDNZD SELL

why when the chart shows a break to the downside and i use the ea and take a sell why does it select a buy for both pairs ? it looks like chart is upside down.
I was trying to time the entry of xm7 ea today ,but based on your chart this would not be possible i would have to reverse everything.

when EURCHF and AUDNZD drop in price your chart rises.

Thank you.
D.
