Paul, it seems you need to read the instructions that come with the ea's. These are not just fire and forget. You need to check the daily chart and depending on what you see you but a suitable ea on, while also keeping some fundies in mind.

Perhaps the trend "filter" of the nanningbob 10.0 method could help?

Here are my results with the CTR 1H Both EA. I sorted them by pair to show the huge differences between them. I have MPTM set to go to breakeven at 45 +30 and also a jumping stop after breakeven. I take profit when I think a move has stalled but ...

Ha, it's going to be "boerenkool met worst" then Personally I plan to donate to Bob's charity and other charities when I withdraw money from my trading account. But hey, if Bob ever makes it to the Netherlands then food and drinks are on me, ...

Grats on those results! what MPTM settings are you using?

now that was an interesting few minutes on the EUR/CHF. The ea I''ve set up on the non volitile pairs did take some losses in the panic but it now has some trades in profit as well. It will be intersting to see how this day pans out. Good luck ...

Me again: The key to trading without sl, in my experience, is to keep your positions small enough so you can deal with having lots of pips drawdown. I aim for 10,000 pips for the first level. Another important thing is to keep trading the other, ...

my 2 cents: I just follow the regular news like I've always have done since I was a kid. The smaller financial news you may miss out on but the big stories that will move currencies will hit the mainstream news anyway (earthquakes, war, government ...

I mostly get chf trades (USDCHF, GBPCHF, EURCHF) as well, I guess that's how the market is today. I did get some trades on GBPSEK and EURJPY too though so I guess everything is working as it should. So far today from london opening up until now I ...

Do you mean something like the indi called iExposure?

I assume you have to take the TP and SL values out of the "ordersend" functions. Then you have to use a separate trade management ea to set those after the trade has been sent. Check url for more info about the function.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to test 10.0 yet as my pc died last week and I'm still waiting for a new one. So for the last week I've only been able to manage my open live trades on my girlfriend's pc (which is very very limited). On the bright ...

Great read! Now I'll need some time to digest it and play around with it on a demo account. Thanks for the education!

Thanks for your hard work Bob! I've got tomorrow off so I'll start reading then. Knowing me I'll probably have to re-read it several times to get to grips with it and to form an opinion. Thanks for sharing this with us. I hope I will be able to ...

I just noticed something funny on their website: " The popular platform MetaTrader 4 can now be used for professional trading. How does it differ from MetaTrader 4 for retail customers? No re-quotes Spreads from 0 pips Deep liquidity from 10+ banks ...

Part of it may have to do with Moody's consideration of downgrading the US's credit rating. That's just a guess though. Most of the time I don't understand the fundamentals either. Sometimes I think it will move a currency one way and it will go the ...

Have you considered using a vps service? That way you can use a trade management ea to set stops based on different scenarios. A vps would also make it possible to log in from other places like work, school or a library (if you trust the connection ...

In this case you didn't need a crystal ball. The news/rumors about Italy were in the news all weekend. It was obvious that it could push the euro down so I went short instead of long. Funny thing about these kind of stories is that it is just a ...

It's the a fixed number of bars or days. Just go for 4-5 weeks on your screen. The more bars on your screen the further the lines are apart, so you trading will be less frequent but should be less risky. On the other hand, on days like today you ...

I can only confirm Astral's findings. I too once stopped trading to deal with drawdown, only to realize I would have dealt with it a lot quicker if I would have continued trading. Just make sure you don't over expose yourself to a particular ...
