DislikedDid not open any trades these two days. Anyone has similar situation? PS: Catalin 3PINS setting.Ignored
Hi Husky
The 1st pic is the one with default pin without trailing stop (well later stage I started using 50/25 trailing), only 45/75 %ADR as SL/TP. Been a disaster
I didn't close the EA cause it was still red in particular session window. Also, in higher TF it was still trending, so thinking that the price would take its original course with time. Most of the orders did hit SL though.
Question - In similar circumstances, when do you know that its time to hit the 'Close all' button or do you prefer to close the trades after every NY session ends anyway? Or once the the order is placed by the EA, you manually move the TP SL levels as per other studies?
The 2nd pic is the one with swiss army trailing stop with default pin. Looks little better.
Question - Do you think if I tighten the individual SL (used as 45%ADR), or put a basket stop loss (may be 20$) will help? I have read earlier the experts making comments that never use basket SL, they prefer ADR SL for some reason
Many thanks !!
PS - Even though I raised the question to Husky, please be free to suggest your views.

in the dash 45/75 adr sl/tp .lock is like in the picture now and also i added a basket tp 50 and sl -25.i was thinking to have many to choose.45 adr sl is good when 2-3 pairs goes crazy and save you to keep others who might go well.basket sl is good when most of the pairs turn around against you.BE + trailing very good to preserve some profit and best when there are spikes.now it depends on you when to stop and have a beer.i started today 5 minutes after LO and put schedule to not trade anymore after 4 hours but keep the trades that are open still.
one thing is very important.try to find something that looks to give decent result and stick with that at least a week and ignore every settings you will may see in the forum for that week,then you can say after 7 days about your results.
here's what i made since LO +5 min with two dash
if 20$ for 1k account is not enough for you for 1 day to stop ... then youre greedy and must do something about

{quote} Dear aeseme, Thank You so much for sharing your incredible DBMultiASM creation with the world. This is, undoubtedly, one of the ForEx industry's very finest and best EAs. I am speechless, as most compliments will not do your unbelievable talent any true justice. But, let me just say Thank You from the bottom of my heart.
I have been testing DBMultiASM for about a week with several settings, including those posted on this thread as well as the Dashboard Trading thread. Big Thank You to jamesT, Husky77, Catalin68, Tobib80 and many-many others for selflessly sharing their invaluable expertise!
Last Thursday, I loaded up one modified variant of Tobib80 set file which successfully ran last Friday, and, over the weekend, as he kindly shared a different set, I replaced previous settings with those of an entirely new set. Earlier today, as I woke up, I was quite surprised to see the log of closed trades and currently open trades with a different Magic Number NOT FROM MY CURRENT CONFIGURATION, but, most likely, from the previous configuration I had last week, even though I had closed all the charts, including that of the DBMultiASM before installing...
As you can see from a screenshot below, the dashboard has opened a number of trades ALL with a different magic number, yet none of them are reflected on the DBMultiASM screen:{image} Previous Dashboard configuration:{file} Current Dashboard configuration:{file} How to resolve this issue?
- Your MT4 had the set file with MN# 2205 loaded, with autotrade enabled.
- When you opened your MT4 to load the new set file (the one with MN# 1111), while you looked for and loaded this new set file, the previous loaded one was still active and during that time, the dashboard generated alerts and because autotrade was enabled, new orders based on currently loaded settings were opened during that time.
- Then, after you loaded the new set file, and because the MN# changed from 2205 to 1111, and your terminal window was closed, you didn't noticed these new orders until you opened the MT4 terminal window again.
So nothing odd happened in fact, just a behaviour related to having autotrade enabled by default in EA properties.
Can we run more than 1 chart/instance of DBMultiASM with different configurations from the same MT4 terminal or each dashboard instance needs to be running from a dedicated MT4 installation?
{quote} Thank you very much, Husky77! I enjoy reading your posts - always caring and informative. I am sure that ... maybe what I have is an issue of some shared cache file that this dashboard creates.The only person who can figure this out is Aeseme. I have loaded 2 additional dashboard charts for testing 2 different strategies on a different single copy of MT4. Let's see how this plays out...
{quote} garfield75, Much obliged for your excellent advice - I will definitely do so if the same situation arises. The question is: why does the EA open trades that are not consistent with its current filter and session time lineup, and instead opens trades according to the previously run dashboard setup that is no longer active at the moment? That is what needs to be addressed.
Thank You again and again! God Bless You and all of yours, TJ.

{quote}Thank you
Thank you again and again for such an exhaustive explanation. I will copy your message into my permanent DBMultiASM notes.
.While we are at it, can you please address one more issue: Cached PIN3 signals are permanently stuck and appear across currency pairs in one of my MT4 setups. They never disappear despite the current absence of PIN3 chart in my MT4. This happened after I switched from a 2-MADdash pin setup to a 3-MADdash setup and back. I have tried re-starting MT4, deleting the contents of the MT4 "Files" folder, the "History" folder, loaded the history data anew and loaded the dashboard afresh. However, the PIN3 arrows stubbornly persist, despite complete MADdash absense as you can see from the screenshot below:
Is there a place where DBMultiASM keeps its specific cached/reporting data?
When running multiple DBMultiASM setups on the same MT4 terminal, is there a way to separate their sessions and reporting of equity Profit/Loss?
God bless,
TJ.
