Disliked{quote} Hi Nbel, I created 3 new $1000 demos - one for each trend method. I started these yesterday and as soon as I get closed trades, I will set up my trade explorer. But, I can tell you this. I have another demo set up that I started with $600 last week for the Ichimoku strategy with these settings. DynamicLotSize = false; EquityPercent = 1; FixedLotSize = 0.01; UseLotSizePer = true; LotSizePerBal = 1000; LotSizePer = 0.01; Slippage = 5; MagicNumber = 000; TakeProfit = 350; StopLoss = 250; Use_ATR_TP = true; ATR_TP_TF = 1440; ATR_TP_Per = 13;...Ignored
Disliked{quote} TCO Thanks for the reply. Not to put to fine a point on it, but I still do not get if it is .01 of a standard account, which would be 10 cents per pip or .01 of a mini account which would be 1 cent per pip. My guess that on a small account as you are describing you are trading at 1 cent per pip given the volatility of this EA. You probably mean $.01, is that correct? Sorry for the bother fxarcherIgnored
Disliked{quote} Hi Roy, I believe the shift is now an internal variable and no longer selected by the trader, because it is determined by CheckOncePerBar variable. If CheckOncePerBar = true; then shift is set to 1, if CheckOncePerBar = false then shift is set to 0. Sorry for the confusion. I'm not in front of my trading PC at the moment so I'm not sure, but I'm almost sure it isn't in the external parms anymore.Ignored

Disliked{quote} Hi Erebus, its a very good setup you started with Trading. Congratulations! How do you select the pairs to start the EA ? All the mentioned Pairs at once, or do you select specific pairs to a specific time to start with, to avoid DD right away (e.g. in case of reversal) ? Regards TebisIgnored
Disliked{quote} I know you didn't ask me, but that is what I am doing, fxarcher. Pips are a penny apiece on my mini account. Trading .01 per $1,000 in the account. Very satisfied with the return achieved so far with that setting. ScottIgnored

DislikedHi Erebus I am trying to post a question to you with an attachment and when I hit "Post New Reply", I get a pop up that says 'Reply Input missing'. What am I doing wrong? Thanks fxarcherIgnored

Hi Erebus
Thanks for sharing your set file and the info in post 226.
I am trying to translate the unbelievable large swings (10 000 pips +or -) into a workable strategy that could be used on a small live account after some more testing.
I thought I would limit the number of entries per pair to 2 and extend the in between hours to 12. I am also trying the Dynamic lot sizing for the first time.
I am running your identical set file on a FXCM Demo and got some trades shortly after of which only the 2nd trade placed the SL/TP.
I entered the SL/TP on the first trade manually and as you can see that on every subsequent trade the EA took did not place a SL/TP while giving me a POP UP error message #141.
I originally had the same problem without the error message on Khaled's Third Screen Strategy- D1 MACD Ea.
I wonder of anyone else has this problem.
Thanks in advance.
