DislikedI just thought of something. Suppose you went long yesterday and never got an exit condition. So you held overnight and now the midnight open is at a different price and the levels are all shifted. Now today you get a short signal. You can't be both long and short, so does that just mean that you should go flat at that point?Ignored
DislikedSwingMan-
I have been testing the last EA you posted and need to ask a question. The EA is taking positions based on a ratio of 1 EURUSD and 2 USDCHF. Is there a way to change this ratio in the settings?Ignored
DislikedSorry for being so stupid, but if you go long in USD/CHF and EUR/USD ($ neutral) you go long in EUR/CHF. So you go just long in the EUR/CHF if the EUR/CHF drops and go short vice versa...
Have read all posts here but still don't get it, why it's necessary to use 2 pairs instead of the cross? You pay double spread. I can see a benefit if you don't enter the same time or just use different weightings...

You can give for "LotsRatio" in inputs a fix ratio (1.5 or 1.6 or 1.7...)Ignored

DislikedHi Richard,
That was the problem I was having too in getting the correct ratios.
