Basket Close Manager - close a group of trades at a money or percent target, loss limit, trailing lock or set time - MetaTrader 5용 expert

Many traders and EAs open several positions at once: grids, multi-symbol baskets, manual scaling in. What counts is the result of the whole group, not of each trade. Basket Close Manager is a small utility EA that closes the group as one.

How it works

Attach it to any one chart. It sums profit + swap of every matching position on every tick and once per second, and closes all of them when an exit is hit.

• Basket: whole account or the chart symbol only, any magic number, manual trades only (magic 0) or one magic.
• Optional commission per lot, so the targets are measured after costs.
• Pending orders of the basket can be deleted at the same time.

Exits (each can be switched off)

• Take profit in account currency and/or % of balance.
• Loss limit in account currency and/or % of balance.
• Trailing lock: after the basket reaches InpTrailStart, close it if it gives back InpTrailGive from its peak.
• Close every day at HHMM and/or on Friday at HHMM (server time).

After a close

Keep watching new trades, pause until the next server day (any new matching trade is closed at once), or remove the EA from the chart.

Safe closing

• If a basket symbol is in a closed session, the close waits until the market reopens instead of sending orders that fail.
• Each position gets several close attempts; the panel shows "CLOSING" until the basket is flat.
• The basket peak is kept in a terminal global variable, so restarting the terminal or VPS does not reset the trailing lock.
• A push notification can be sent to the MT5 mobile app on every close.

Limits: the check runs on ticks and every second, so a fast move or a gap can pass a target before the close is filled. Keep that in mind when setting tight levels.

Inputs

Try it in the Strategy Tester

Set InpDemoTrades = true, choose some exits (for example InpTPMoney = 30, InpSLMoney = 40, InpTrailStart = 15, InpTrailGive = 8) and run it in visual mode. The EA opens random trades so you can watch the basket being closed. In normal use it never opens a trade.

Tested in the MT5 Strategy Tester (XAUUSD H1, Sep–Oct 2026, demo trades): money and % targets, loss limits, trailing lock, daily and Friday time exits and the pause-until-next-day mode all closed the basket, with no failed close orders.
