Hello everyone, damn time flies, I didn't realize it had been so long!Unfortunately this EA has been on a kind of back burner while I take care of a few other personal projects. That being said I have made quite a few good updates and the new version is looking good.
Over time I've also changed the way I'm using the EA. Instead of a weekly basket trader EA, I've set it up to trade the LO daily which has been working well. Of course you can still use it as a weekly trader if you like, it's still fully customizable. I'll share more...

Eagle eyes and curious minds might be wondering:
“Is that a real account, and how did you decide the position size? What’s the risk?”
Quick clarification — it’s a demo account. I should’ve mentioned that upfront.
As for position size, I originally went with intuition and experience. But now that we’ve got A.I. tools at our disposal, I figured: why not dig deeper and see how close my gut really was?
So, I asked Copilot to run the numbers properly — 18 pairs, ADR(20) as the stop‑loss distance, and a total basket risk of 5%.
Below are the results.
Turns out my intuition wasn’t far off at all, my 4.5 lots vs 5.69 lots.
Let’s see how the week plays out.

Hello everyone, damn time flies, I didn't realize it had been so long!
I've finished with the update as well as updating the indicator.
I'm doing some bug testing this week to confirm that everything is functioning as it should, and once I'm happy with the results I'll post it.

{quote} Hey Erebus, how did your basket finish up for the week?
Balance had been oscillating all week, as high +1,500 maybe +1,600, then down to +700, back to +1,000, then -500 before the end.
Next week, I will position size according to the risk and use ADR(20), perhaps set that as Take Profit as well.
There are many ways to play with a basket methodology.
See you there.
Take a look at the Weekly column and see that it was a low volatility week for sure.

Better late than never:
Position Sizing Update — 10% Basket Risk Using ADR(20) Stops
For anyone following along, here’s the sizing logic for this week’s basket.
I’m running a 18‑pair set, using ADR(20) as the stop‑loss distance and distributing risk equally across all pairs.
Account size: 100,532 AUD Total basket risk: 10% Leverage: 30:1
Notes 
Looks like I missed GBPNZD, too bad;
Looks like a BIG week ahead:
Check your local times, smooth sailing!

Notes
- All stops are based on ADR(20), not fixed pips.
- Risk is equal‑weighted, not volatility‑weighted.
- Total exposure across the basket is ~1.15 lots, which is normal for ADR‑based stops at 10% basket risk.
- This is a general calculation method, not advice — just sharing the math for transparency.

Another 24-hours into the week,
making progress but stormy weather ahead
Haven't set any TP but will look today
Good luck, have fun, don't die!

May 1, 2026, early Friday in Australia, current situation:
But already collected these, thanks to ADR TP -
So, just closed all -
Not bad considering the huge JPY moves against the UP trend, some +500% moves

A fine mess for the start of this week, giving the market at least another 4H candle to settle down, maybe even another day!
