Disliked{quote} Thank you again for your settings. How it is possible to avoid the 10% stop loss and use the 3h limit? Should I use the check DD option and put 3h? Thank you in advanceIgnored
3 hours is not set number and you cannot avoid a -10% hit
The probability of the basket hitting -10% exists and that means that it can happen less than half hour or in 15 minutes or in whatever minutes LOL.
But based on what I have observed from running this EA for months.. the likelihood of you getting close to -3% within 3 hours of opening the basket is very low. In the many times that I hit -7%, I noticed that at the 3 hour mark the DD was around -1 to -3%. So I am willing to risk losing out on potential profit in order to get that DD down. If I had followed this simple rule of closing the basket after the 3rd hour, all of my -7% would of been alot lower and my overall profit right now would be much greater than it is now..
Now 3 hours is WHAT I DISCOVERED. Some folks are using 4-5 hours cause that is what they observed and are willing to use.
As for the "no trail" question... all you risk there is the basket profit climbing into positive territory and then falling back to 0 or negative, yet the EA did not close out for some profit or break even.
Our AWESOME IMAGINATION is the true holy grail!
