10 out of my 26 baskets didn't fire this morning. Yesterday I also had 6 baskets that didn't fire, today was worse. Opening times vary between 07:00, 07:15, 09:00 GMT. Then I checked under the experts tab and saw this error message. It's still displaying this message again and again every sec.

2017.06.01 10:00:48.059 Open Sell Order error: 148 - amount of open and pending orders has reached the limit

Have I got too many baskets running than what my broker will allow? So the baskets are opening more trades than permitted with the broker?

If that's the case then I would need to cut some baskets before I'm finished testing them.
Truth is like poetry. And most people f*cking hate poetry.

Yup, depending on the broker.
Some will only allow 50 to 100, some 200 open positions.

Btw. make sure that you do not have orphan trades open.
That is if the EA doesn't check beforehand if there is enough "position" room to open a complete basket but starts opening trades and stops halfway because of this error leaving the basket open unfinished and doesnt manage those open trades anymore.

How would I check for orphan trades? I've never heard of this.

Anyone seen this, the trades are opened and then immediately closed. Not sure if it is the EA but only started after last update. Maybe just me but I reset the EA every day and restart the platform.

Yes Ive seen that when trying to use the master basket to close all other baskets at the TP or SL, for some reason it just closed everything right away. I tried about 5 times and it kept doing it so I gave up lol...

Look for comments on the open trade with baskets (magic) numbers that should not supposed to be open because the EA looks like it didnt "fire".

What i pointed out some posts ago.
If one EA stays in "closing mode" picking up open trades to close them and another baskets keeps opening them.....
That is called a "dead lock" situation.

Since I'm a US trader, I've been honing in on trying to find settings that are similar to the way I would trade the NY open and Tokyo open. Here are results from today's NY Open after news. Just barely missed the 300 pip TP so I stopped it out manually. This is great for me since I can't monitor the London open baskets.

Just what you said "the take profit 300 pips" and looking at the profit lock you have the settings for both baskets the same while one trades 12 pairs and the other 16. That is a 4 pair (40 to 80 pips if not more) difference. Just look at the high and low. The highs are a 40 pips difference.

Realistic and more sure to make profit would be a (120 and 160 or optimistic 240 and 320) individual basket tp.

Why ?

TT really means that you are in for a short term trade. Current candle + Bars (not slower Ma's)

All three basket went up to +40 pips and if you can confirm that the profit came before the DD (looks like it) keep the same baskets but set your TP to 40 pips.
If you are running with Current bar setting you can not expect a profit in the thousands of pips.
Adapt, do not yet dismiss.

hi jenbols. correct me if i am wrong.
i dont think channging the MA under FT and TT make would make any difference since FT and TT uses Bar instead of MA.
from I observe. when FF and TF goes negative. FT and TT would be positif but thats not always the case

today using 10080 TT gain good pips but not 1440 TT. i will post result this weekend after i compile my demo test for this week.

That would have set you back a couple of beers.

Then again, if i look carefully there is a 12 x 50 pips profit in there.
Perhaps adjust your expectations and earn a couple of whiskys.
