Still no trades placed and I have the EA running on EURUSD aswell as EURNZD. I expect its because my internet is too slow considering it has such short windows to open trades. I notice that terminal.exe is using up about 94% on average of my CPU. ...

Yeah I was just thinking of some much bigger TP's automated by a TS with 100 pip SL. Can't think of anything else yet sorry. The correlation I see is that with higher TF's you tend to have a lower success rate but the R:R is really high. Wheras with ...

I think a trailing stop would be fairly detrimental to quick trades, but if this EA could place longer term trades based on the daily and weekly the breakouts are going to be much larger. So then a trailing stop would be a useful way to collect the ...

I think the profitability of this EA could be increased with trailing stops to allow the profits to run, and perhaps if trades were only triggered by patterns with higher probability outcomes such as trend divergence. Have you seen any ...

Why not place an equal and opposite trade in an interest free account aswell so that PA doesn't matter as much so that you can safely take the Interest rate differential?

Im aware that its more obvious in stocks but if you look at a bullish chart you will notice that the selling happened much faster than the buying. And as RR mentioned a currency can go to 0. All of the instances of the EA I have running at the ...

I didn't have alerts on, changed the setting to true now, what about the email alerts and signals should I have them on aswell to trigger the most trades possible?

I mean that I think sell offs happen much faster in proportion to the amount they move and also as a result happen over shorter time periods than rallies. I would expect its just because fear has a stronger effect than faith in most peoples buying ...

I don't know how easy this would be to implement but how about if time became included in the decision making process. If we assume downward swing's happen faster than rallies. for counter trending shorts for example if we had the system recognise ...

Why can't we apply a trailing stop? Do you think it would be useful if we had a seperate option for TP/SL for breakouts as we do for counter trend trades? I would expect breakouts to be larger for example. Ive been playing with the system for a ...

I'm not trying to ruffle any feathers here but have you payed the $700 when you don't trade live? Even though you have had 450% on demo in a few months? When do you plan to trade live if you haven't already? Regards Seb.

When I download the files into meta editor they appear like this EX4  So I can't compile them and run them, why is this?

Old Dog with New Tricks

I think its the best time to trade, seeing as the volumes higher.

What's your most profitable session ?

How did you manage 450%? I mean what % of account balance were you placing per trade? I really like this method because the RR is so good, But I don't think its suited to small account balances, would I be right in assuming that?
