xmess,

can you maybe build in a routine which checks that trades are indeed closed = like a check after the 10 seconds have passed ??

then if not, try closing them again till its been verified they are closed.

i am not a coder so dont know how to best approach this, but i am sure it can be done.

Yep, that's an easy one. the EA continually checks number of open trades. It would just be a question of checking this to be true after the close hours etc etc. I'll look into adding that in the next upgrade.

When u set the multi-basket use to TRUE, this tells the EA to use that chart as a Master. Then the TP/SL/Profit Lock values are used to control ALL BASKETS from that one chart. So yes you could essentially leave all of the baskets without any TP/SL or profit lock and do it that way. Ok, try v37.7.6 see if that controls the closure and not allow the baskets to reopen. Right now with the help of Firewight (Ultra man) we are trying to completely fix this feature. So when I role out the next update, this should be totally under control. But for now see what v37.7.6 can do for ya.

xmess,

today i had an issue kinda very similar to the timing close.

but this is with version 37.6

i had it set to basket sl 40 pips, 4 trades did close when this value was hit, but one was left open.

then hours later this now orphaned trade hit a dd of 40 pips, and it did then close.

maybe thats been adressed in later versions already, i just want to bring it to your attention

mrd,

here is a connection logger i use on all my accounts.

it logs on screen disconnects, can send mail alerts as well if needed.

run it on a separate chart with black background = easy to see then.

Oke im not pleased what just happned,
using v37.7.5 , I had set up basket 1440 FF tradelevel 3 ( the rest default )

my EA was set to start 00.00 GMT
take profit 50 / stop loss 25.

when i set up the basket there where 2 pairs.. oke now i see there are some more.. about 9 pairs..
oke that is not the problem... here is comes..

i see in my trade history that from 00.00 gmt till 00.04 have been opened more than 130 pairs and closed.
i was doing this on a live account ... thinking im risking only about 25 pips ( maybe a little more or less ) depending on the closing speed.

I lost cause of this a lot

I hate to tell you, but 25pips stop on a basket of trades is just too small. Say you get 15 pairs in the suggestions from CCFp, and many of those may be more exotic and have a 2 pip spread, then as soon as the basket opens you could be already -25 pips...

You need to give it room to breath...

Wednesday (14.06.17) Pinbar setups. I decided to run a setup for 7.10GMT, 9GMT & 12GMT again.

All baskets are D1 (1440), have a 40 pip TP and a 200 pip SL. Some baskets closed in a loss under 200 pips, that means they were automatically closed at 19.30GMT...

Mostly winners, but a couple of losers in there...

{quote} mrfdx: How many baskets did you have opened? I think I know what the problem might be. I have the close hour set at an interval of 10 secs. Depending on the number of baskets this can cause the EA to be delayed in getting to each basket. That delay may take more than 10 seconds so that by the time those charts are reached the interval is over and guess what... we can't close the baskets cause it's beyond the 10 second interval. you would think that this should not be a problem cause the EA is working "independently" On each chart, but that...
On this platform I'm running 10 baskets with 5 weekly and 5 daily baskets, so 5 of them are set to close at 19:00GMT.

Would a quick work around perhaps be to set the close hour time slightly off set for each daily basket? So I'll set the first to close at 19:00, 2nd at 19:05, 3rd at 19:10 etc?

Do you think this could be a shirt term solution?

Sounds like a good way to ease the load at that close hour to me.

I would be hapy if it only hit my sl of 25 pips...
it opened 130 pairs..... while the basket had 8 or 9 pairs to open
that's my concern...

check my excel file ....

I am just explaining to you why a 25pip SL is not a good idea...

I don't understand why it opened 130 pairs !!

I get what you are saying about letting it breath..

the basket suggested 8 pairs to trade.
I was using only 1 basket ..
so with my tp / sl 50 /25 .. i should lose about 25 pips ...

I cant help you with your trade opening problem, you will need to wait for xmess7 to troubleshoot that.

Also, I am not saying a 25 pips is "letting it breathe", I am saying it may simply be insufficient from the onset of the basket. You need to be realistic in your approach to this kind of basket trading...

i think i have an idea.

you probably ran this on a live high spread account.

your sl value was way too tight.

so my guess it opened trades and with whatever spread value it immediately hit your sl.

then it tried again and again, each and every time hitting your tight sl.

so just try setting it up on a demo, but one which has identical spread values to your live account.
let it rip and see if it repeatable.

nobody else had that problem to date, so i am pretty sure its not the ea fault.
