That's right!

I'm thinking of having options like;

--- Individual Strategies  Control --
001 - enable entry - true
001 - enable exit   - true
002 - enable entry - true
002 - enable exit   - true
...
099 - enable entry - true
099 - enable exit   - true

...

I'm also thinking of showing the individual strategies' performance information in the chart. We will discuss this in a separate topic.

"Guys, from what I noticed, you came back strong. Very interesting this question. Let me see if I understood, especially because I am using a translator to talk to you. In this case, each portfolio strategy would have a true or false button so that each one can be deactivated or activated, or just a button for new open or closed trades to prevent it from continuing to open trades from a certain point, allowing us to switch to new strategies."

Yes that is the idea.
My need was turning off the entry or exit logic for single strategy EAs, but from what I understand, Popov is also going to implement this for each strategy in a portfolio EA.

Open New Positions: True
Close Open Positions: True

I think "Close Open Positions: True" is a bit ambiguous, because some may think that it means closing the positions immediately, like in the Bulk Operations features in MT5.

The initial wording proposed by Popov is perfect.

Allow opening of new positions: true
Allow closing of current positions: true

> Disable entry or exit signal for single strategy EAs

It looks like ending new options will be useful:

Allow opening of new positions: true
Allow closing of current positions: true

Any ideas for better naming?

...

Besides that, I plan to add separate options for enabling the entires and exits of each strategy for the Portfolio Experts.

Excellent idea Popov, that way we can do it directly from the inputs of the EA without touching the source code.
The naming sounds perfect in my opinion.

Or just

void ManageClose(void)
  {

return;

...Existing Logic Stays As Is.

}

Thanks to you as well. Another working option!

I would substitute ManageClose with this:

void ManageClose(void)
  {
   // Do not Exit
   bool ind1long  = false;
   bool ind1short = false;

   if((posType == OP_BUY  && ind1long) ||
        (posType == OP_SELL && ind1short) )
      ClosePosition();
  }

This way it's like using Do Not Exit indi, closing would work only with set TP/SL.

Thank you for the suggestion. It's working!

Interesting, it did work on portfolios very well. I'll look into it.

Yes, that works for portfolio EAs, but not for single strategy EAs.

Just tested this idea to disable the entry logic from the source code.
I found the line of the code with the entry logic "OpenPosition(entrySignal);", and just turned it into a comment with 2 forward slashes > "//OpenPosition(entrySignal);"

It is working in the backtests and it worked for 2 forward tested trades.

Do you know how to replicate this for the exit logic? I saw ClosePosition in the code, but there are so many of them...
