Good afternoon,

I would like to share an idea and seek your guidance or support regarding a challenge I am currently facing with my trading robots. I am leveraging small accounts using robots configured with a risk-to-reward ratio of 3:1 for Stop Loss and Take Profit levels. However, I have encountered a specific problem that might require your assistance.

The issue arises with managing the number of open orders across different currency pairs. My goal is to limit the robots to only one open order at a time, regardless of the currency pair. For instance, if a robot has an active trade on EUR/USD, it should not open another trade on any other pair until the first one is closed.

The addition of this feature would help streamline risk management and prevent overexposure across multiple pairs. If you believe this functionality is not suitable to be included directly in the portfolio or robot settings, could you kindly guide me on how to implement it into the MQL5 source code?

I have some programming knowledge in MQL5, but I am not a professional developer and have struggled to incorporate this feature myself. Any help, including example code snippets or advice on structuring this logic, would be highly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and assistance!

Hi Miroslav, I think Multi Market Robustness test would be an excellent addition to express gen. Any chance of adding this at some point?

Hi, the development of Grid explorer is still going ?
We didnt have any news in a long time

Thank you

Thank you!

Thank you :-)

wow, thanks Mr. Popov !

late edit: oh, it is not for expert advisor studio. I red it very fast, too fast!

anyway, good things are coming in the future also for the eas, for sure!

> It's super helpful for organizing strategies across different projects.
It is a good idea!

This can be better implemented with additional options.

Something like:
--input-dir /path/to/my/collections
--input-pattern [SERVER]-[SYMBOL]
--input-recursive true

I may think of it.

Please post a screenshot of how your MetaTrader chart looks like and the options you have enabled in the Expert's Input panel.

Most probably, everything is fine. The difference may come from the different options and protections you have enabled.

Side note!

I'll add a Risk calculation functionality to the "Top 10 Robots App".
It will be ready next week.

If it works fine, I may add such options to EA Studio.

It works as follows:
  - The strategy needs Stop Loss (if not, we may assume 100 pips loss)
  - Select Rsik percent (let's say 1% of the account)
  - The program will calculate the proper Entry Lots depending on the Initial Account, the Stop Loss pips the spread and the commission.

Here is an example from the Prop Firm app (it also show the Stop Loss in dollars)

> So the support for the old format has already been removed now or is this a bug?

This must be a bug.

Uploaded Express Generator v2.61.

It reads the legacy "ini" files and options with: ind_indicator_name = true
This release correctly remaps the old options to the new format.

Thank you for the report!
