Question for you Lincoln, are you closing any trades (death trades) or just letting things go? Also, what kind of draw down are you getting? I ask because I'm testing some other settings and I'm very interested in how that system is doing.

And of course the GBPJPY retraced..... Oh well, I can take my lesson. And Lincoln, if you are running a $100 account, unless you are trading 1/10 of a cent, you are under funded. Good luck however, I hope you can turn that into 100k!

Don't feel bad, we all are. If anyone comes up with the 'Best' idea, I'll stick it in the EA The problem with a death trade is that it's always easier to see AFTER the fact. I'm still looking at signals, news, ranging, etc... that will make the ...

It's not hard to lose a few hundred even with pennies when a currency goes 1000 pips against you after you're 8 levels deep and you are away from home and unable to kill it! I had to call my wife and walk her through the steps! ha!

Kept going with the 100/40 today (not the new one) and lost a few hundred due to the GBPJPY (and that's trading pennies my friend). Alas, I'm still up over 40% for the month. I'll have to give the 100/125 a real chance this week.

Thanks for ending the micro-feud. Let's get back to business shall we? I started everything back up. Running the normal 100/40 with bastard on AWE, same pairs, going to see how things go for the day. I'm ready to take a hit if need be. I'm not using ...

OK, I didn't like the way things were going so I closed everything down. Took a hit, but it's all part of it. I'm going to take a day or two off from trading this week. I'm rather busy and don't have the time to focus on watching the charts. I'll ...

Nope, sorry, just woke up. If you take a look at the charts I upload every 5 min (even while I sleep!) you will see that I've banked about $60 tonight but I'm currently running around -$110 thanks to the GBP. It's starting to make some bigger moves ...

I've done the same tests. I was lucky enough to not be live trading that day. I've found that using indicators that show the range o the market (like bob has provided) or other forms like the atr can help miss these kinds of trades. Of course, it's ...

In my live trade thread, I made a bastard offspring that uses Tdion's suggestion of ATR. Backtesting seems to be promising. I also figure that no one here is more critical than Tdion (that's a good thing sometimes sir!) so I figure he's on to ...

I know what you mean. I actually upload the current stats to my site every 5 minutes so I can constantly check what is going on with my account. I have the phone number for IBFX in my phone so if things go really bad, I can always call. What I will ...

Cool, good to know. Market is closed so I was unable to run any tests on the system, my comments where merely my concerns. Thank you for your work on the closer.

cool, thanks Bob. Attached, I converted the word 2007 file to a PDF for those without Word. EDIT- I just shed a small tear! Looks like I'm not that crazy after all

You are correct. This is how I made $1000 last week. Who knows, in a few months when things calm down (I hope!) we can go back to leaving it alone most of the day while we work and sleep. Alas, I'm a dreamer. Also, congratulations on your effort ...

OK, how about this test bob... Attached is a 'flipped' version of 100/40 1D and also the normal version (so people can find it easily if they need to). The only difference is that with the flipped version, it buys where the normal version would sell ...

Charlyeze: I don't know about him, but I lost ~$300 two times in two weeks because I let it run, unmonitored, in this crazy market. Both times, it was a AUS pair. I'd be willing to bet that the case is the same for him.

What if it did not close all trades, but only close IF (and this is the kicker) those trades were NOW against the average? So, the EA would examine the currently open trades (both positive and negative trades), every 15 minutes or so, and see if ...

Took $900 in profit yesterday (with a cost of $25) and bought my wife something nice
