This happened today right? The reason I ask is cause the max you see is for the week.if the EA did not refresh then possible u are seeing the max of last week plus any max of today. Did u take a peak at the %max on the display today before the open hour to see that the max % was 0?

I'll take a look at that part of the code. This has tested extensively back in may-august 2017. I had all kinds of log prints going on to make sure that it all worked.hec I think I still have the video where i show the basket executing the step increments and showing where the basket would close..

Hey HengiTjen:
I took another look at the globals you posted. Look at the date that the max 15% was set. Its on 2020.02.13 which was last week Thursday. That means max/min did not get reset for the new week. I will check on that. Since that was the case then, more than likely your basket did not reach a higher percentage. It just went as high as 5% then fell and was stopped out at around +2% (there is some slippage due to how price was traveling).

Just to make sure did you have FirstLockAlwaysBE=false?

Try this, set the LogData=true. That will log to an excel sheet in the MQL4/Files directory the profit curve of the basket. This way you will see how far profit actually moved. Once you are convinced that things are ok you can turn off the LogData input.

Thnx

UPDATE MT4 v58.1 (upgrade to code to make sure max/min are reset each week)

xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v58.1.ex4

Made a simple code addition that will check if the max/min has been reset for the new week.
Enjoy!

Ok the then set LogData=true. That will record the basket profit. We can then see exactly where the profit was.

HengkiTjen:
Here's an example of what the log file produces. this is from a basket that was opened today and closed for profit at 3%.
The basket trail stop was on but as you can see there basket never retraced.. it just hit profit..

Oh I gotta fix this, the reason the graph does not go up to 3% is because the EA will close all of the trades and shut down any trade operation (which includes the log). Consequently the last pip/percent readings are not recorded. FYI DD was -1.26%

Folks:
After further review I am recoding the profit lock section. I am basically removing the lockPercentLevel input and just leaving the set BE (manual lock) and basket trailing stop inputs.

I can see why some of you are not getting the expected lock gains. You are confusing the lockPercentLevel and thinking it should work with the trail stop input. I thought that the added note seen in the inputs would explain what to select and what to expect, but that did not work.

Any questions or comments let m know.
Staaay times for a major update.

Hi Xmess7,

Thanks so much for the EA. It would be superb if you can clarify my confusion.

For example, if I want to set a trailing stop of 75 pips with an incremental trailing stop of 5 pips, which means if the pips go up first to 86 pips, 85 pips are locked in.

How do I adjust for that setting?

Attached is the setting I think it is, based on my limited understanding of the trailing stop.

Hope you can clear this up for me.

Thanks so much. You are a lifesaver.

Hi, according to the settings in your image your trail stop will be 75 pips, that will be the stoploss for every time profit moves up 10 pips starting at 75 pips.

For example:
Ea will monitor your basket. When the profit of the basket reached 75 pips.. the EA will start to set the trail stop for the basket.
The trail stop will be 75 pips. Then when the basket moves +10 more pips the the EA will adjust the trail stop level up 5 more pips, so the stop is now at 85 pips, the EA will always keep a trialstop delta of 75 pips as long as profit reaches the 10 pip stepDelta..

However in your paragraphs you seem to indicated a different requirement, you seem to want an incremental 5 pip trail stop .. starting at 75 pips then your settings need to be like this:

setStartLocking = 75 ===> EA will start the trail stop process when profit reaches this level
TrailStop = 5 ==> The EA will maintain this stoploss for each time the profit moves up by stepDelta
stepDelta = 10 ==> EA will adjust stop loss to be 5 pips every time the basket profit increments by 10 pips.

sample scenario:
Basket opens and has a starting stoploss of 50 pips.

basketprofit(pips) trail stop(pips)
+30 no adjustment use starting stop: 50 pips
+62 no adjustment use starting stop: 50 pips
+62 no adjustment use starting stop: 50 pips
+75 startLocking pips hit EA creates 1st trail stop of 5 pips (stop level at 70 pips)
+77 no trail stop adjustment. stop is now 7 pips away
+79 no trail stop adjustment. stop is now 9 pips away
+80 stepDelta(10pips) is reached EA adjust trail stop to 5 pips (stop level at 75 pips)
+83 no trail stop adjustment. stop is now 8 pips away
+75 stop hit, close basket.

My SL 7%

Trail Stop =5%
StepDelta= 2%
TrailStop=3%

That being said if Price go 5% will StartLocking (SL 3% from 5%)
then the price go 7% will StartLocking (SL 3% from 7%)

I. Going to assume you mean startLocking to be 5%.

So your initial stop is -7%.
That stop will remain until basket profit hits 5%.
At that point the stop will change up to +2%. (5-3).
Then when profit moves up to 7%(5+2) the EA will change the stop to 4%(7-3).
If 7% moves up to 9%, stop is adjusted up to 7%(9-2).

So every time profit moves up by the step(2%) the stop will will trail by 3%.. thus the trail stop is always -3% as profit moves up by the delta.

Hello ,
Did anyone have an issue with the EA opening the basket at a time then immediately closing the basket a few seconds after? EA was working fine last week and today at the specified open hour the EA opens but immediately closes.

Thanks,
Albo
