Eur/Usd scalping inspired by Shakesfx

I think you misunderstood — Gary, What I was saying was the B/E +1 problem is fixed, but that now it doesn't close when the entry bar closes in profit. Instead it will wait until the next bar closes in profit (or the one after that etc.). Ian

Yes — Yes, the only reason for the initial S/L is that you don't know how big a 'pull' there will be on the 'catapult' and its not good to go into something like an interset rate decision or NFP with no stop. When trading manually you should ...

EA problems — Just posting the EA problems I have noticed: 1. If not in profit on close of first bar, the EA will try to close at B/E +1pip (or I think in the case of 5 digit Brokers it will try at B/E + 1/10pip). 2. If the entry bar is ...
