This input enables a currency balanced stop loss feature which groups orders profits by their symbol and then tries to cut a non-profitable order from one symbol with a profitable order from a different symbol which does have an equal or greater reversed profit. By assigning a value different than 0
to this input (the value should be positive) you are telling the expert to consider orders as non-profitable (and suitable for “cutting”) if their loss goes above the loss represented by this value.
For example, consider these two orders: BUY, EURUSD, +$60 profit and SELL, USDJPY, - $30.5 loss. Now consider that you set the Currency Balanced SL Max Loss input to 2
, which means that the currency balanced stop loss feature will only be active for orders with loss greater than $20 (note that the loss is set as a positive value). With this configuration, the expert advisor would close the USDJPY order along with the EURUSD order because the USDJPY order loss exceeds the the $20 limit allowed for staying “untouched” and there is the EURUSD order with a profit able to cover the USDJPY order loss (ending giving a profit of $20.5).
