Here's an example from 2007 where 4 recovery positions were needed before breakeven was achieved. This uses 1.3.3.3 recovery. A maximum of 3 positions are ever open at any one time (the original Tokyo positions are counted as 1 compound position). ...

Hi Dryclean, I will try and get it uploaded over the weekend. It will come with a serious wealth warning as it has up to 6 recovery positions. If you are unlucky enough to need all of those then your account is probably toast. I ran some 10year ...

Thanks for pointing this out. The EA handles the exit after 7 hours when the profit reaches +8 pips (or whatever you have set it up as). For some reason th EA did not detect this situation during the 6 minute window where the profit was +8 pips. ...
