Very smooth seller9, nicely run thread.
Glad I spotted it & read it all, before you've issued the ea and a hundred odd pages winds on
Have been trading core 5 with a modified ea via kos/gvc on demo.
Goes good now I have the $4 auto TP switched off and let it run to price level retest after H1 HAS colour change.
Another brokers demo setup and ready with settings to match my penny live acct with them.
cheers scalpz

1) The numbers to use for "pipsmulti" are: 1, 10, 100, 1000
2) A reverse M5 trigger setting has been added, this has not been tested so I have no idea how it will work. It will reverse the M5 trigger signal, so to go Long you would need a M5 short trigger and to go Short you would need a M5 long trigger, this only works on the M5 trigger. Just looking to see if the entry would be any better, if it does not help I will remove it later on. "ReverseTrigger"
3) I have also added an option where you can turn on M5 Trigger point arrows on the H1 chart. "ShowM5ArrowsOnH1" This way you should be able to know better when a M5 trigger happened without having to go back and look at the M5 chart, all right on the H1 chart.
4) The profit or loss figures will stay on the chart even after the trade is closed and will then refresh back to zero when a new trade is opened or the EA is restarted.
5) If you don't want to use the "TradePipFilter" set it to zero.
6) "UseHAS_M5_Trig" If you set this to false the trade will use the color change of the HAS on the H1 to trigger a trade.
You have 3 ways to trade the EA:
1) Basic H1 trade with the HAS color change to control the entry, no H4 confirmation or M5 trigger. (Basic_H1)
2) Basic H1 trade plus M5 trigger, H1 as direction only. (H1_M5)
3) Basic H1 trade with M5 trigger, H1 and H4 as direction. (H1_M5_H4)
With all of these you can still use the pip filter, take profit, stop loss, and trailing stop loss if selected.
Here are the three set files, make changes as you like:

Basket_H105_v2
Here is the EA as promised, have fun.
Warning: Do not run this EA on any live account until you have demoed it for at least a month or more. I have tried to find any bugs that may exist, but there are always a few lurking within. A gone crazy EA can take an account down to zero very quickly. You may also want to wait at least an hour after market open to start it up to give the market a little time to settle down.
1) The EA should only be attached to a H1 offline 5 pair Basket chart as described on Help Page #7, Post 88.
2) Be sure to check the pip calibration for your Broker as all TP, SL, TSL, etc are based on this number.
3) The default settings will get you up and running in a fairly safe enviroment as it uses all 3 time frames for trade determination.
4) When running for the first time on your demo account try the hot keys to open and close a basket, its important to make sure the EA will do this.
5) This EA does not need ticks to run so you should be able to test out the other hot keys on the weekend, of course you can't try to place any trades. As you press some of the hot keys, watch the upper right hand corner display on the chart to see what the effect of some of them are, some of them are toggel (2 results) or step through a sequence (series of changes) so require more than one press to go through the entire sequence of commands.
One thing I may have forgotten to mention concerns the HTSL, this can also be moved with the mouse just like the HTP and HSL ones can. The only difference is you can move it closer to the PA than you have it set for but you can not move it farther away as it will always restore back to your EA properties setting. So if you have it set at 200 pips when the PA gets to 200 pips of profit it will start up and follow at 200 pips. You can move it to 100 pips with the mouse if you want and it will stay there untill 200 pips of profit is reached again and then will continue to trail at 200 pips again. If you move it to 300 pips with the mouse it will always try to restore back to your EA properties setting of 200 pips if there is 200 pips of profit available.
Remember: The HTP, HSL, and HTSL are all hidden from the Broker, this means that only the EA knows about them. So if the EA is not running or your computer is off line you have no protection from loss if the basket goes over the cliff. If you want protection then you would have to modify each separate pair order using MT4, the EA does not do this.
Good Luck and I am looking for a lot of good feedback.

Hi seller9,
All the loaded up, but I'm on ibfx crim mini demo.
They have "m" suffix, so added that when loading ea on #kos#05m,H1 offline chart, but got the error screen saying
"This EA can ONLY be run on the offline chart #kos#05,H1, EA is stopping!"
So not sure if the error check is including the suffix in the test.
Got mt4 smily face at top right of screen, but not much else of ea display, due to "stopping" message I assume.
cheers scalpz

Got the 2 blue dotted lines 200 pips apart and even removed them - haha - well after pressing Ctrl + F5 - OOPS where did my chart go to, this is really old screens loading in. Oh no #*&%$# - the platform switched to the next profile haha.
Switched profile back to my "Another Basket 2013" and Ctrl + 5 takes the lines on & off. Cool
all sorted.Ctrl+9 then Yes, and I get green big smilie up on LH corner. Ctrl+9 then No, and I am back to yellow face.
Great stuff, ready for Monday my time, Sunday GMT time. Would really like to see some retrace
