Hi all,
I am very new to dashboard trading and new to trading and I am learning as I go.
I would like to understand the new basket locking on EAX Dash.
I am using DashTZ for my entries, still learning about that but getting there.
What would classify as a basket for the locking of the profit?
Below are the locking settings I have put in place.
Below is the current trades in place, some of which have been in for some days as it didn't hit my intial Take profit of 100 points I was targeting in the beginning.
I am hoping that possibly the Basket locking can assist me with this?
I would assume that a basket would be all pairs that contain a matching currency, so for example AUD basket would include AUDJPY, AUDCHF, AUDCAD... So the sum of all of those pairs would be the profit target where it would then close all in that basket once the profit is reached.
Or Would a basket only be classified as a basket if it is created from the Dashboard as a single trade and not the single trades created by the DashTZ?

So for Example the JPY Pairs.
AUDJPY $ 6.77
CADJPY $ 2.85
CHFJPY $ -1.89
EURJPY $ 0.58
GBPJPY $ 3.02
NZDJPY $ 3.85
USDJPY $ 0.34
Total $ 15.52
So profit has gone over $14 for JPY pairs, would I be right in saying that the Dash has now locked $7?
Is this how it works based on my previous post with my settings?
This doesn't look right, the Lock=$ --.-- is not reflecting any locked $'s?
Which it should be?
AUDJPY $ 6.77
CADJPY $ 2.85
CHFJPY $ -1.89
EURJPY $ 0.58
GBPJPY $ 3.02
NZDJPY $ 3.85

I need to warn you about a bug there that cause money to go fly by the wind 
If you have a specific session for example mine is on tokyo session, 4 hours after it closed, i was doing something else on another monitor and started seeing orders getting opened (the session list shows that something different than closed session), then 3 seconds later the clock gets updated and the orders get closed, and the session at the top shows again (closed), this repeats randomly during the closed hours, so you'd never know until you see your demo account burned (hopefully not with a real one or that would be a mess).
Maybe if you add some sort of timer to double verify the broker (or local time) clock, before starting opening new orders...

Great work aeseme
If you could please fix a bug on the 'x' on pins, if you have the 'Reverse signal button' set as true, the orders open and close immediately because of the condition not met, you could add a check if the signal is in reverse the if statement in your code should check for the other way around aswell.
Cheers
Example : if the pins says go up (buy), and the opened order on reverse signal goes down, they will not match but it should be ok since 'Reverse option is ticked', it should exit only when signal in pins says go down (sell) and you have an open order that is going down (sell) aswell, so if they match, the order should close, unlike the normal mode, where if they differ in direction close order.
Thank you for your report.

One other bug (i hope it's not intentional to be that way) is, why do you have to put a negative value on SL for baskets: -25$, and on the SL %ADR(10): 25?
They are confusing, maybe you either force all parameters to have a positive value, like SL for basket could be 25$, and SL ADR 25$ aswell, or both negative... or even have an auto detect for values entered, like using in your code a MathAbs(of the value entered), and tread both entries the same, that way would please both users that may get confused by which kind of value to enter on each field...
Because right now, if you tend to type a negative value in SL %ADR part, you'll be suprised seeing orders auto opening and closing at the same time.

{quote} Why a bug? This just shows that you haven't read the docs. {quote} I agree that can be confusing to the unnoticed or unattended ones. It was designed that way to allow an interactive way of profit locking (as properly documented), and now that I have the locking levels interactively on-screen, I might think on reverting it back to it original behavior, who knows
You are doing great work, my intention is to help make it more user friendly that's all, i don't mind having it the way it is, but it is still confusing...
