Now I have the key, how to earn 1 Euro per minute whit BWB when the market is not flat.
Its not Basket trading. Its robbing 10 pips per currency pair.
BWB put orders no matter how and when.
TP 10 pips
Hedge 1000 % when minus 20 pips. I use 0.01 lot and 1000% is same as 0.1 when use MPTM.
Then Hedge the Hedge with 170% (0.17) and it will take you out of any situation without big DD.
The hedge close at BE but by accident you make money when it close. I made 208 euro by accident in one day when I first tried it.

The Hedge orders with the original order witch was 20 pips minus shall be handled separately like ManagingNanningbobTrades do with the recovery orders. The order shall not be closed at 10 pips profit. It shall be closed at BE with the Hedge order.

I tried to do it wit 2 MPTM but I could not separate the Hedge order from the original. Maybe its possible to separate them if BWB has magic and comments.

When take the 10 pips profit its important not to touch the Hedge orders. So if its two similar pairs open the TP function shall skip them. Like ManagingNanningbobTrades...
How's the result? I suggest the bot should have the main core engine for truly identify the trend and the precise entry and the good money management setting. Seen like try and error here, same to me as well.

Hi,
if there is some one still interested in this EA here is an experimental version of BWB.
In this version i've changed a bit the RSI Logic. Now the EA use Lawgirl style RSI Logic for get the trend.
I haven't tested it very hard but i think that can work reasonably well.

I think that its does its best as SemiAutomatic Robot, we have a CloseAll button so if we are happy with profit but the EA hasn't reached the profit target we can simply close all orders and take next opportunity, also there isn't any reason to wait 30min for restarting, we can start it when we see / "feel" that a good trend are starting.

So i hope that you like it

This one would rate exceptionally highly on whip's funometer if only he were able to use it.

I think this does the trick; for sure it has been happily clocking up the pips here all morning.

It hedges the original trade at the correct point. I have just simulated an original trade closure and the bot immediately hedged the outstanding hedge.

There are a couple of trade filters: D1 Rsi to give a direction for the initial trade; MaxSpreadAllowed to stop trading silly spreads.

The code is a fright, as all I have done is adapt BWB; it needed all sorts of fix to recognise when a trade needed hedging, then the hedge needed hedging if the initial hit tp.

Go with it for now and let's see what happens.

If this looks like having legs, I shall re-write it as a single chart trader. We would need to keep as secret as possible from the crims that we are trading a robot. Magic numbers and trade comments are a no-no, but E2 keeps track of hedged trades by looking at the order comment.

Also, it opens a new trade the instant the old one closes. We would need a psuedo-random delay on this. We would need to trade just a small number of trades during our own normal trading day. All of this is far too messy for a basket trader.

On demo, it is fun to watch. We do get a lot of pretty green squares.

Let's see how it goes.

Oops. I had the bot multiplying the hedge trade's order lot size, not the original lot size.

Download the fix from where I first uploaded the robot and leave the multiplier at 17; this is correct.

I thought the dd had taken a somewhat dramatic leap. Any hedged hedges will probably blow the account as it stands.

The fixed version causes chaos with the old trades, so you will have to start a fresh account. I am on about my 6th today.
