I had to deal with pending orders.
When at first the EA sees a setup it sends pending.
When a second setup is seen the first setup pending orders have to be deleted.
And new pending orders sent based on second setup .
The latest update is doing it the way I would do it if I was manually trading.

So do I need to still use equity sell stop EA with the 8.8 version I see it has basket close? is it multi pair or I need to place it separately on all charts? Also do i need to make all magic numbers the same and match it with the Equity sell stop EA? lol Sorry I'm a bit lost.

Thank you so much for doing this for everyone )

Hi candyman,
just noticed you start new thread. come to support.

Any backtesting result? At least it can help us to understand in terms of expected profit, # trades, drawdown, then we could use it to compare to forward test.

H4: Up trend : 5/10 EMA cross up Down trend : 5/10 EMA cross down the modification done is this .only send a buystop only when the price of that buystop is above 50 simple moving average on a 5 min chart. vice versa for sells this morning it has the following trades open . also jumping stop loss was calculating wrongly which caused big drawdown yesterday lastly buy trades will closed if 50 SMA is 80 pips above buy price and bid is 30pips below 50SMA.vice versa sells the modification...
I like the concept will take a look and see how it looks. I see this is a constant work in progress...keep up the good work. I love basket trading especially for the reason that it removes the limit of trading one asset only when other valid opportunities exist.
Chf will eat up the margin yet the payout is not a wow factor like eurgbp ...chf was a strong asset for most of the time i observe it but the last time i saw it it was weak surprisingly. I'm sure that instant switch had also cause havoc in some accounts.

you are spot on. Limiting trades to the price actioon channel has stabilized the EA

hi candyman, re read your rationale.. for the black swan event like brexit, why cant we just turn off the EA and close all positions.

for eur chf depeg, seem can only accept it or dont trade chf pair.

the updates from now on will be from potential setups missed . That is if I see a setup on the chart but ea never opened
I will code and post update .
Otherwise bugs have been removed . is there anyone who can help converting this EA to trade all currencies using one chart.
I have hit a blockage in trying to convert .
