jackson AND OTHER mates please check ERWIN KEY /.
attach to 2 charts with the same symbol ... since diff symbols is already in old versions!
and observe all rsi-related-indexsxed profits
and which postions were closed? is it selective/robuuts/reliable?
for example 2nd letter in OrderComment is either a or b etc ..
does it close only that expert letter-orders if IRWIN is ON?

Integrated Strategy to Address Severe One-Sided Losses
When facing severe one-sided losses in trading, a proactive, multi-layered management strategy can be implemented. This strategy consists of two concrete operational tactics for immediate intervention, enhanced by a dynamic optimization logic for improved adaptability and efficiency.
1. Two Core Operational Tactics 
I've been thinking a lot about the hedging logic in our EA recently and have a very specific idea I'd like to discuss with you.
I mainly want to solve two major headaches: first, the fear of a sudden market reversal causing both long and short positions to lose money—it feels too passive. Second, and more worryingly, is the issue of "hedging imbalance." For example, if I have 20 long lots and 10 short lots, and those 10 short lots hit their profit target and close automatically, I'm left with 20 exposed long lots. If the market then turns downward, losses could snowball rapidly before I can manually re-add short positions to hedge.
So, I was wondering if we could make the EA "smarter"? How about implementing a precise "use profits to offset losses" operation?
Here's an example: suppose the short positions currently have a floating profit of +18.7, and the long positions have a floating loss of -18.7. My thought process is:
Step 1: Close part of the short positions, locking in that 18.7 profit for real.
Step 2: Immediately use this realized profit to close a portion of the long positions whose loss amounts to exactly 18.7. This swap leaves the total account balance unchanged, but the total number of open positions is significantly reduced (e.g., from 22 lots down to 12 lots).
It would be like performing "precise surgery" on the account, using the money the market has already given me as the "surgery fee" to proactively cut out the weakest positions. The core goal isn't to chase more profit, but to quickly "lighten the load" on the account, making its overall structure healthier and its risk lower.
I feel this could make our EA much more proactive in risk control, instead of just reacting after losses have grown. What do you think? How difficult would it be to implement this logic into the system? 
When facing severe one-sided losses in trading, a proactive, multi-layered management strategy can be implemented. This strategy consists of two concrete operational tactics for immediate intervention, enhanced by a dynamic optimization logic for improved adaptability and efficiency.
1. Two Core Operational Tactics
- Hedging Losses with Opposite-Side Profits: Immediately use profits from positions in the opposite direction to hedge against and close out a portion of the losing orders in the losing direction, thereby directly reducing risk exposure. For example, use $50 in profit from long positions to close some losing short positions.
- Offsetting Losses by Pooling Same-Side Profits: If no opposing positions exist, aggregate the profits from multiple winning orders in the same direction to close out one losing order in that same direction with a comparable loss amount. This "profits offset losses" approach helps optimize the overall position structure.
2. One Dynamic Optimization Suggestion
To make the above operations more intelligent, it is recommended to introduce a dynamic trigger threshold, replacing fixed profit amounts or order counts. For instance, set the trigger condition to "when opposite-side profits reach 1% of the total risk from losing positions" or "20% of the day's average true range (ATR)". This allows the system to respond more swiftly during volatile markets while reducing overtrading in calm conditions. Consequently, the strategy can automatically adapt to different market environments and manage the equity curve more smoothly.
The core principle of managing trading drawdowns lies in setting clear, staged defense lines. You must take decisive action at a 20% drawdown (e.g., halting new trades and actively reducing positions) and treat 30% as an absolute, non-negotiable red line. This final barrier is crucial to fundamentally prevent the self-destructive cycle of revenge trading that follows severe losses. Recovery is not passive waiting but proactive management. From the early stages of a drawdown (e.g., 15%), use your EA's tools (like partial close functions) to reduce exposure and lower profit targets, aiming to steadily recover losses through subsequent, conservative gains. Ultimately, top traders master the art of "losing well"—while the market grants profits, you control the losses. True, long-term success is defined not by any single windfall but by the unwavering discipline to keep losses within your strategy's bounds.
