Hi Wilson
Not sure I understand the question 100% but I'll give you an answer anyway.

Initially the EA opens trades as per the requirements that I posted on the first page. Then in an effort to attempt to catch more pips on a long trend, the EA will close out the "basket" but leave some trades open with a TS to follow the trend while at the same time starting a new "basket" of trades.

So it has two manners of closing out trades, firstly by the basket, in other words all trades at the same time for a combined profit of X, or it will selectively leave some profitable trades open to take advantage of a trend that may be running in an attempt to get more pips rather than just closing the entire basket and starting a new one.

Hope that helps.

As for the MA question, that one is simple, as long as the MA are in the same state, the EA will trade, so even little dips that correct will be traded.

thanks for the explanation Kamper. i've changed some of the settings on the ea ie. higher pipstep than the original 6 to 20, number of trades in the basket to 11 and mutiplying the lot size by a factor of 1.5 instead of 2. i feel that these settings are safer in the long run but we shall see the performance in real time. currently am running 3 pairs (eurusd, eurjpy and gbpjpy) and is down 5% because i have not tinkle with the original SL of 50. will update you in due time.

wilson.

Thanks wstang, those are very conservative settings, I hope they do well for you.

I would be interested to know how you changed to 1.5 x ..
I can only do a mulitiple of 2,4, etc. Otherwise, I get an invalid integer error when I try to program with something that isnt in the ea's lot size.

I move these variables in extern section.

Hi Kamper

I have been running the Bliksem EA on Demo quite successfully. However I am now getting the following error. If u could assist it would be greatly appreciated

2007.07.17 16:46:09 Bliksem GBPUSD,H1: Errors opening BUY order 2 = 130 unknown error

Many thanks

ERR_INVALID_STOPS 130 Invalid stops.

Not sure why you are getting that error, but try moving the size of your Stops to be a little bigger?
Contact your broker and see what the minimum Stop size they allow is?
