Wackena, When you use the trailing stop do you set both the TP and the TS parameters, or just the TS? Say for instance that you want to set a TS for 30, insuring that you gain a minimum of 30 pips. Do you set the TP @ 0 or do you also set it @ 30, ...

Accrete, I have run v63H02 for about a month with Mono's settings of 30-300-30, but when I saw his post on his latest results with the individual settings either on this thread or the original thread, I thought about doing what you are now doing. I ...

To All, Didn't mean to lend confusion to the above post. I had not read through the whole thread and didn't realize that v1.0b3 had been posted. How about v1.0b4?

V63H02 Note — I also forgot to note that I use 63H02 in one of my demo accounts started on 8/15 with $5000. It has almost doubled and today has a float of $488. It has been the most profitable of my three accounts with the lowest float. ...

Accrete, et al As I also said before, I agree with this approach and think it's worth pursuing with V1.0b2. Maybe we could call it V 1.0b3. I also have another thought on this but with an earlier version. Hendrick in post #258 & #260 @ ...

USD/JPY &amp; EUR/JPY — Thom, It's strange that you got stopped out on your JPY pairs, while almost all of mine cleared out and went to profit. I only have two EUR/JPY pairs that are about mid-way in the minus pips + a couple JPY pairs that ...

TimeFreedom, In order to maximize profit, it is probably better to just increase the lot size and go for an average size of pips (as long as you are OK on margin). Thinking along those lines, does anybody know the average range of pips during all of ...

Trending Markets — Traderone, Even in a steady trend there are always retracements as it works its way up or down. Probably the hedging version will work best in this market. We will all just have to experiment and go with the flow and make ...

Kingforex stated in recent post that he did not manually close out the trades, but all of the trades were closed prematurely, probably for the reason stated above...they were probably margin calls... 1Trader2

Wiped Out Account!!???? — Kingforex, In reviewing your statement, your SL=200 pips. Most if not all of your losses were closed out (manually?) prior to hitting the stop loss. It's hard to say how many of these would have gone on to be ...

Niponzz, In addition to being in agreement with the other replies on your post regarding margin & pairs trading, you could also reduce your losses if you used Mono's setting of 300 for your stop loss. Some of your stop losses are only 42 pips, ...

Live Results — Mr. Trader, Please find below my statement. A couple of qualifiers: From 8/22/06-8/26/06 I was running FB63H02. I began to get alot of "excessive alerts" even though I had commented out the line. When Wakena posted the updated ...
