• Total_deals_of_line_magics_for_one_symbol – the maximum number of simultaneously open positions with magic numbers from “Line_Magics” by the chart symbol; valid for values greater than 0; this parameter limits the opening of the first position and does not limit the opening of averaging positions.
• Total_deals_of_line_magics_for_all_symbols – the maximum number of simultaneously open positions with magic numbers from “Line_Magics” for all symbols; valid for values greater than 0; this parameter limits the opening of the first position and does not limit the opening of averaging positions.

• Line_Magics – line of magic numbers of positions; if empty, then the number of open positions is calculated for all (any) magic numbers.

To get more deals (more aggressive option) make the “Excluded_currency_str” line empty, then orders will be opened on GBP news as well. You can also add medium importance news IncludeMedium = true.

Pending orders are opened 60 seconds before the news is published. In 20 seconds after the publication of the news, unworked pending orders are deleted.

• SecondBeforeHigh = 60;
• SecondAfterHigh = 20.

Volatility during the news can be very different, so using the standard SL for all trades in a fully automatic mode seems to be ineffective. Since a short SL will often knock out and a large SL does not make sense, as it will take most of the balance. If you prefer sets with SL, then select careful settings for each currency pair separately (Use_Symbols_from_Line = false). In the default settings, a day is given to close positions at TP equal to 5 points. If the position is not closed in a day, then an averaging order is opened (maximum three positions for one currency pair).

• TakeProfit_Safety = 5;
• StopLoss_Safety = 0;
• Total_open_transactions = 3;
• Min_minuts_pause_between_positions = 1440;
• Min_pips_between_positions = 35; 
• Multiplier_of_trade_Lot = 1.5.

You can set the maximum drawdown as a percentage of the account balance for each currency pair, for example Close_positions_at_percentage_of_loss=30.

Parameters from the last block “consider other positions” are intended for joint work with other Expert Advisors (take into account open positions with other magic numbers). Therefore, you can add this expert to the general profile of experts.
