I have been scratching my head about that myself. Your better off putting an indy on each pair separately AND either trade in the direction of the indy on each separate pair or dont trade the pairs that are going the opposite way. I have been doing this and results are surprising, but I got to lock down the total length of time for the trade. After ONLY 1 week and keep in mind its only been ONE WEEK!, I have had modest gains.
People have to get their minds off of the Expert Advisor crap and just start trying to map out a strategy. All that is needed is a script to place 6 trades with stops and 6 pending orders with a time input to pull the trades off. If we can get that we can run some good demo sets. Oh and BTW, make the stops trailing optional.

I want to know the system got any potential?
Here are fresh EAs to upload.
Versions 01 through 03 now do not look for a rise in equity and balance to reset last flat values. This strategy can close for losses which is unlike most other strategies I deal with so this small adjustment was needed.
Version 04 automatically determines the initial long or short bias. Here is the function that determines long/short bias:
Inserted Code
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Track the whether pairs that have risen/fallen above/below |
//| their 24-hour highs/lows. |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void CheckExceedences()
{
LongBiasCount = 0;
ShortBiasCount = 0;
BiasString = "";
if (MarketInfo( EURUSDsym, MODE_BID) <= iLow( EURUSDsym, PERIOD_H1, iLowest( EURUSDsym, PERIOD_H1, MODE_LOW, 24, 0)))
ShortBiasCount += 1;
else
if (MarketInfo( EURUSDsym, MODE_ASK) >= iHigh( EURUSDsym, PERIOD_H1, iHighest( EURUSDsym, PERIOD_H1, MODE_HIGH, 24, 0)))
LongBiasCount += 1;
if (MarketInfo(GBPUSDsym, MODE_BID) <= iLow(GBPUSDsym, PERIOD_H1, iLowest(GBPUSDsym, PERIOD_H1, MODE_LOW, 24, 0)))
ShortBiasCount += 1;
else
if (MarketInfo(GBPUSDsym, MODE_ASK) >= iHigh(GBPUSDsym, PERIOD_H1, iHighest(GBPUSDsym, PERIOD_H1, MODE_HIGH, 24, 0)))
LongBiasCount += 1;
if (MarketInfo(AUDUSDsym, MODE_BID) <= iLow(AUDUSDsym, PERIOD_H1, iLowest(AUDUSDsym, PERIOD_H1, MODE_LOW, 24, 0)))
ShortBiasCount += 1;
else
if (MarketInfo(AUDUSDsym, MODE_ASK) >= iHigh(AUDUSDsym, PERIOD_H1, iHighest(AUDUSDsym, PERIOD_H1, MODE_HIGH, 24, 0)))
LongBiasCount += 1;
if (MarketInfo(USDCHFsym, MODE_BID) <= iLow(USDCHFsym, PERIOD_H1, iLowest(USDCHFsym, PERIOD_H1, MODE_LOW, 24, 0)))
ShortBiasCount += 1;
else
if (MarketInfo(USDCHFsym, MODE_ASK) >= iHigh(USDCHFsym, PERIOD_H1, iHighest(USDCHFsym, PERIOD_H1, MODE_HIGH, 24, 0)))
LongBiasCount += 1;
if (MarketInfo(USDJPYsym, MODE_BID) <= iLow(USDJPYsym, PERIOD_H1, iLowest(USDJPYsym, PERIOD_H1, MODE_LOW, 24, 0)))
ShortBiasCount += 1;
else
if (MarketInfo(USDJPYsym, MODE_ASK) >= iHigh(USDJPYsym, PERIOD_H1, iHighest(USDJPYsym, PERIOD_H1, MODE_HIGH, 24, 0)))
LongBiasCount += 1;
if (MarketInfo(USDCADsym, MODE_BID) <= iLow(USDCADsym, PERIOD_H1, iLowest(USDCADsym, PERIOD_H1, MODE_LOW, 24, 0)))
ShortBiasCount += 1;
else
if (MarketInfo(USDCADsym, MODE_ASK) >= iHigh(USDCADsym, PERIOD_H1, iHighest(USDCADsym, PERIOD_H1, MODE_HIGH, 24, 0)))
LongBiasCount += 1;
if (LongBiasCount >= 3 && LongBiasCount > ShortBiasCount)
{
BiasString = "LONG";
}
else
if (ShortBiasCount >= 3 && ShortBiasCount > LongBiasCount)
{
BiasString = "SHORT";
}
return(0);
} All 4 versions contain the more generic form of handling symbol string mangling.
Inserted Code
string AddMangle = ""; if (StringLen(Symbol()) > 6) AddMangle = StringSubstr(Symbol(), 6);
rather than

string AddChar = ""; if (StringLen(Symbol()) == 7) AddChar = StringSubstr(Symbol(), 6, 1);
I hope that's not too much "Expert Advisor crap" for anyone.
Open to new approaches.

Or it must be place on each and every pair chart?

You place it on ANY chart (only one chart) and it trades all six pairs.
not sure which one to choose. Will start from Ver 4, thanks
