Every time it opens in the wrong direction and overlaps the loss, but at the end of the day it is always positive.

Yuri wrote.... Of course there is some truth in your words. Actually, in order not to overpay twice on spread, we should open the main position on EURGBP, and withdraw the remaining lots by crosses on EURUSD and GBPUSD. But it will complicate the Expert Advisor's code. That's why I have made a simplified variant with two pairs.
It is as follows: EURUSD buy-0.1
GBPUSD sell-0.2
EURGBP sell-0.1
or something else?
Started to test the 2nd version, stood for more than half a day, could not stand it and put the 4th version to test :) I cannot understand how the EA manages to do that, as it closes both correlated pairs with significant minus (minus is much larger than spread). Illustration for this case:
Again, I don't understand why the EA opened both orders with the same number of lots...
Question-proposal: Why should we open both orders at once? Maybe, the hedging pair should be set as a pending order? This is a kind of stoploss. Then if the forecast is correct and the main pair is advancing, the required profit will be reached faster. You can modify it in the following way: if profit on the main pair exceeds half of Take Profit, the order will go to Breakeven and the pending order will be deleted.
As for closing unprofitable positions in the 4th EA: this is a correct step, of course, but if we are going to take such measures, then maybe we should also set a stop loss? For example, calculate it using the same 6 Take Profits ratio and assuming that the correlation between pairs has remained and the trend has reversed. I don't feel comfortable without stops, the Internet will drop and farewell!
На данный момент 4-я версия оказалась наиболее удачной. И висяки кроет и при этом не мешает профиту расти.
Продолжаю тестировать на ней.
How are your test results?Начал тестить 2ую версию, простояла чуть больше полусуток.. не выдержал и поставил тестить 4ую :) 2ая версия за это время показала небольшой плюс, 4ая же за несколько часов упорно идет в минус, причем я понять не могу как советник это умурдярется делать, закрывает обе коррелированые пары с приличным минусом (минус на много больше величин спреда). Иллюстрация к данному случаю:
the correlation between the pairs is not very good, IMHO the best options in terms of correlation are
CHFJPY - EURJPY
CHFJPY - GBPJPY
EURAUD - GBPAUD
EURCAD - GBPCAD
EURJPY - GBPJPY
EURUSD - GBPUSD
GBPCAD - NZDCAD

GBPCAD - NZDCAD
How are they BETTER?
The spread difference GBPCAD - NZDCAD is 20 pips? (by my brokerage house).
EURUSD - GBPUSD - especially today since lunch - Woo-ooo correlation :)
you're better off with more correlation...
correlation does not depend on spreads...
if you don't like spreads pick another pair...
you don't know that big spreads won't allow you to make profit... try it first and then you'll see...
you can't see the whole world through a peephole...
the correlation may diverge during the day, so what if the market is like that, today the correlation is 1, tomorrow it is 0.95, in a month it is 0.1,
you are a trader or what? the baby has a snot, if you are a parent, watch and wipe it up,
You're acting like a pregnant woman of balzaca age...
Kudos to the author. But I want to give one practical tip. The matter is that I have a similar system, but I managed to increase its productivity much more after adding the condition: when reaching a certain loss the losing pair RETURNS and then the EA also trades until reaching the target profit. As a result there are less losing trades, profits are reaching much faster. And this is based on the market axiom - the price is more likely to continue its movement than to reverse.

Ohhhh, the lunacy has increased. And only our tanks are fast.
