{quote} Nice! But I'd encourage you to have faith in red color for all currencies too!Not that when all turns red you say I can't believe this is happening!
I'm trying to cope with red

{quote} Mine too, but I notice it is very often more like a hidden hesitation for avoiding to take action in trading decisions such as close the clearly losing trades, especially when own tools show that clearly! Even when they or EAX have made a mistake and did not close the trades automatically in its time, I hesitate and begin believe all will be well with those losers. Stupid "perfectionism"
fact!
Take what you can, give nothing back
Ok, time to make some update on research from my lab! 
11 months ago I began experimenting with the basket equity curve. Main idea was to open the C5 basket trades on one instance of EAX, and then let it run unlimited time. The equity picture for trades opened up until now is following:
When the equity after some time gained some history of bars, it was about time to plot the shifted Envelopes on the equity curve:
That made me think what if another pin could trade that equity curve in normal lot size?
There were some proposals to some our coders to think if it would be possible to cooperate on creation of such tool. But having no feedback or interest, I decided to take a shot and make that equity curve pin which would be used by Second EAX to trade equity curve vs envelopes with an affordable optimum lot size. This is what the picture of those trades would have looked like if trade from signal to opposite signal with current envelopes settings:
The pin was trading from 2021-04-27 up until now with some adjustments in envelopes period and shift. With the very aggressive strategy on H1 TF until Nov 2021 I've made +120% but also there were lots of stupid whipsaws because of H1 TF. Then accidentally because of my carelessness and stupid perfectionism I deleted(!) myfxbook account with these results - can you imagine - I did not like a space character in account's name.
So another account was made. Because my broker didn't allow to read trades older than 1 month, the journey has started all over again... The new account rose to the max of +40% which was very cool to see steady rise up. After a while feeling safe that the robot will do its job I began having problems with EAX's tests of perseverance settings which caused some massive losses - there were no pins available because of that bug and thus no closed trades. Then I was hesitating to close these trades! Now my overal profit up to date is +14% and constantly in small steps growing.
I think this strategy has some juice in it when and if used with decent MM. Unfortunately on EAX it is not possible to have auto MM, thus one would need to adjust his lotsize every time after profit or loss.
EDIT: There were also some thoughts to use the trailing stop of MA (red line), which would close the buy trades when they fall below MA, or sell trades when they rise above MA:

{quote} If you want EAX to open trades from all 3 pins signals, then it should be fine as it waits for pins 2,3,4 signals to align tripple BUY or SELL. But if you want to use every pin's signal as entry, then ANY entry button must be enabled. Also you have lots of other filters enabled such as BR%, Candles and EMA (+ H,D filters on the left columns). For all of them to align and give a signal plus enabled 2,3,4 pins seems too complicated - i.e. too much conditions to be met.
Wow, very quick n nice feedback ! Obliged !
We will follow it, thanks !
Pl. may we know, no matter you load PIN_EAX indicators on other Fx chart or Dash Chart, it will impact?

Show closed trades/baskets and focus on pips instead bucks.
I see you use 1 lot size for each pair, do you use exact same lot size in your REAL account? If not ... then whats the point?

Make more profit with low capital with high lot
If you have a better strategy, introduce it and we will use it
