Ah yes, I had read that but thought maybe that wasn't complete yet. But when I do the math, apparently it's already set correctly 
0.10 lots x 120 x 6 = 72
Good to go then. And yep, it took mine 33 mins to hit basket TP

Truth to tell, I am not sure about the basket take profit calculation code, because I seem to get different results from the same sizes baskets.
The code appears straightforward
BasketTP = (BaseLot * TpMultiplicationFactor) * NoOfPairs;
Can't see anything wrong there.

I originally just said (BaseLot * TpMultiplicationFactor)
Hey guys,
Just a quick question.
What's your exit strategy? It's all and well when the basket's taking profit, but what happens if it doesn't go as planned?
At what point do you say it's a losing trade and cut your losses?

I see what you mean about cadjpy however, other 5 pairs closed when the basket closed with some nice profit, cadjpy made 0 even
Guess I'll be updating the ea to the one that doesn't trade this pair, thanks for the tip on this.

Fair enough. Thanks for the quick response, Scooby.
It looks like a very sound system. I will be demo testing it out from Monday's Tokyo session onwards. Will be very interesting.
I've read through every page so far in this thread, and the only confusing thing so far is that there are so many files on the first page, I'm not entirely sure which to use for what purpose.
Anyone can summarize quickly with a crash course on what to attach on what? There are all sorts of indicators there.
