This will probably do it, under the condition is where you would do something like place a trade.

@l-andorrà no that money doesn't need to be customizable, just as long as profits is greater or equal to losses, whatever their values.
I tried a loop condition, what changes would you make to this example? https://fxdreema.com/shared/XVQAQMwSb (this is in MT5)

I want to say yes to both, but it's "magically" come alright since posting this (was not working for two days prior). Thanks admins I guess!

Hi again @jstap 🙂
I suspect that may cause issues if there are existing trades and the EA is being re-initialized or was removed and subsequently re-added.

After doing quite a bit of reading and thinking, I managed to implement something half-acceptable: I added a terminal variable (which changes based on group ID) and a condition to check the terminal variable.
The condition runs first, and if there is an existing terminal variable with the same value, an alert pops up (although nothing stops the EA from continuing to run). Not the most refined but it works I guess. Main trouble I find now is that terminal variable doesn't update when I change the settings on the EA. In fact, nothing on the "On Init" tab runs after changing a parameter, which was counter to my understanding of what "on init" would represent.

I'll leave this topic open in case someone has a more refined solution than what I have.
Cheers.

Managed to figure it out, and in case anyone in the future reads this thread and is stuck at the same place as me, here's what I had to do to loop through all the groups to keep separate trades:

Create a variable (we'll call this variable "Group ID") and use it whenever creating a new buy/sell trade or order. All order-opening related blocks need this Group ID variable. When the conditions for your EA have been met to open a new set of trades, increment this Group ID variable and open the new group with the new Group ID. Create a second variable (we'll call this "ID checker" variable). The purpose of this variable is to mimic the Group ID variable without interfering or changing the Group ID. To loop through the various groups you have, use an appropriate block (I used the "For each position") with the group mode set to "All (automated and manually opened)" and connect it to a "Modify variable" block. In the modify variable block, modify the ID checker variable with the group in the loop. Connect blocks with actions you wish the EA to perform (trailing stop loss in my case).
Picture below depicts points 3, 4 and 5.

Thanks @jstap for the discussion, talking to someone about this really helps.

I am not an administrator, I was asking you because if you look at the fact that there are no open operations there is no Margin and when there are open operations there is margin, just that.

@breeeeen You're welcome! Don't mention it!

@breeeeen No problem. You're welcome. 😉
