It depends on the indicators. If the indicators can handle binary conditions then the EA will just follow whatever trade list the indicators provide.

{quote} Mingteikg: No that is fine. Some times price is moving fast that by the time the last trade iis closed you have a little more.
No Jess. From what I observed, it's because Mingteikg uses "0.01/$100" lot sizing and "PercentProfit" (not Pips) for TP & SL.
So Mingteikg's 5.5% TP would be different from yours 5.5% TP (coz you are using smaller lot sizing, right?!).

I don't think it is about luck. It's because he is using bigger lot sizing (0.01/100).

5.5% is 5.5% no matter what size the account or the lotsize. The difference is when you get to it based on the size of the lots you use.

I thought that he was concerned that his basket had closed at 5.53% and not 5.5%. I was referring to that difference. The EA's close function has a slight delay between closing the trades... this is partly due the orders being placed into arrays before they are closed. I do this cause that is what is needed when the EA is used with a US broker, it helps with taking care of the FIFO rule. In the next version I am going to remove that.. you should see the closing of the baskets to be faster than they currently are.

Hi Jess,

With the basket close logic, maybe make it as option for FIFO close so there are no issues when used by a US based account. I have the same option in another EA I use with a delay for the FIFO close like you mention also and it has a FIFO true /false option for trades. Just a thought to maybe avoid issues for US accounts.

Also I started V41 up this morning and it behaved perfectly - it is just waiting for kickoff time. Have a great week.
Cheers

Right now the version you have does it automatically. So fifo or no fifo the last trade is closed first amd then the next .. until the first trade is closed, which woild be the last one on the list. Ao in reality you should have no issues wheter you use a fido or non fifo broker.

In the new version the EA will automatically determine if closing the trades in fifo order is needed or not.

So either way no issue...

Lets hope it swings back to close in profit.

Back to the winners list today Jess, I noticed that the panel shows the Year % as 5.6 but last Wednesday was a losing day for -10% - does this recalculate after a close of the platform?

Thanks again for your efforts.

The % are calculated as follows:
Current% - calculated from the pairs that are opened at the moment
Day% - calculated from the beginning of the trading day.
Week% - calculated from the beginning of the week
Month% - calculated from the beginning of the Month
Year% - calculated from the beginning of the Year

But if you change your history period (that's one of the tabs at the bottom where the LOGS are) some of the percentages will change cause you are changing how much information the EA can us. That is why you will see differences.

Mine is still open floating around -50 pips.

It looks like profit reached +4% at some point in time. Too bad that wasnt when you woke up and seen +%. Maybe a lock step or trail stop is necessary after “x” % has been reached

Quite the contrary, I was awake. In fact I had 3 opportunities to close it with profit. But I decided to let it go.
This is why I said I know EXACTLY why I got hit with a -7% on the basket. ....

Can hardly ever go wrong with "You see profit, you close profit".

Your using the vb right? So, aside from a different data feed and that I am using level=2, perhaps it was the time the real basket was opened.

But more importantly was that I let 3 opportunities to close with profit get away...

Thanks for the reply Jess, I have not changed the history so not sure why that would have happened. I will keep an eye on it and let you know if it continues to report an incorrect running total. Apart from that the EA operated as it should. Looking forward to Wednesday.

Many thanks

Closed the basket manually late last night for +3%.

It was really ranging back and forth so I decided to just take what profit there was.

Like Jess says "You see profit, you close profit"
