It appears that everyone is having the same problems. GU has been behaving like my dog - not doing anything its told and running in the opposite direction when called!! Perhaps we could be totally contrarian and take the opposite position to that ...

Sash - thanks for your explanation of the pipscounterexit. Your examples helped to understand. Karl

Nasty! SL was just hit and loss was 100 pips on each of 3 trades. Strange as I had the SL set to 120 that it should have stopped out at 100. Having hit the SL it is now rising! Forces at work here that know I am trading!!

Sky The new v5.1 causes a problem with your v5 set resulting in an options conflict between the Adjusttakeprofit and the Pipscounterexit. Not sure how to resolve this as I have not worked out exactly what Sash is intending here. I will just ...

Thanks Fishman - will try them. I still don't think they affect the EA though - do they? Karl

Sky I am interested in your results which bear little resemblance to mine over the past 24 hours. Your chart is quite different also. I am using the tpl suggested with the sma settings etc but the plot of your sma looks quite different. What ...

Sash I have just loaded 4.5 and notice the option to switch off the messages. Thank you for that. Now I can see the candles!! You are so obliging and it is appreciated. Maybe when this EA gives me sufficient profit, I can afford another computer but ...

Sash I have just returned from the land of nod and see you have v4.4. You are amazing. Thanks so very much for your efforts. DocJordan, my results from yesterday show a similar result to yours - I am using 4 pairs where you appear to be using 6. ...

Offshore It has to - I have a long trade with first TP at 1.50137! Have faith! Although the short trend is down, the long trend is still up . Let it cook. Karl

Sash Your idea works for me. Thank you Karl

Does the EA use the text on the screen to effectively trade? If not, then it could be switched off anytime. Please don't make a meal of this - it isn't so important but thanks for your interest. Karl

Thanks Sky. First, does it matter if numbers are the same. They are different pairs and show in the history which pairs are trading. I would certainly change numbers if live to avoid broker interference!! It does not seem to matter as trades are ...

Sash Perhaps a screen shot of my charts will show what I mean about the writing on the screen being a bit too much! Karl

Offshore One way to do what you are asking is to use Steve Hopwood's MTPM to manage the trade automatically once the trade has been manually entered. It is a masterful piece of programming. It will look after any trades on a number of charts on the ...

Fading orders — The present situation on UJ is a good example of what Sky is suggesting. Reading the article Krunofx linked to helps understand the idea. Since the trade was triggered on the UJ pair, PA has gone against the trade some 20 pips. ...

Screen display — I am referring to the detailed information written on the chart. Its useful reference, but obscures the candles. Once read to confirm settings, it is not necessary and I would be happy to be able to switch it off. It is not ...

Screen display — Sash, I wonder if we could have the option to switch the screen display on/off. I am trading with 4 screens (4 pairs) and the writing on the reduced size charts makes it difficult to see the candles!! I am just coming back to ...

1.5900 — Hi Dryclean I have just woken up (in Queensland where it was 28oC a couple of days ago - its mid winter!!). It appears that GU is stuck in a range having just nudged above the 1.5900 - got to 1.5907. The system likes some more ...

MPTM — Hi Todder - if you follow the link at the end of Steve's first post, you will get the info you seek. Karl

SS — I have not ben around for a few days and have just caught up. Thanks for the tributes but credit where it is due. I found the SS indi on the blog of a contributor to the London Breakout thread - merlintrade. I have no idea if he was the ...
