DislikedSo far I have had higher hit rate than 70 %, but I have not tried this system for that long. What settings are you using to increase hit rate?Ignored
DislikedRoughly, just roughly, if u use TP = SL, you may highly likely to find hit rate ranged from 50%~60% sth. the ratio of TP/SL is a big trick of this system.
mine is 20 tp vs 12 sl, and I found that martingale(x2) seems not worthy the risk.Ignored
DislikedHi Forturama,
Nice strat, unfortunately not applicable for my sleeping hours.
I didn't read the whole thread so don't know if it has been mentioned, I just got the enitial impression you're trading with a 3 pip spread on EG ? That's way too much for such a system as it seems to me, you can find brokers that will give you one pip (with recent liquidity problems it might be more but I hope it'll get resolved soon) and 2 pips easy even now. If this is your main strat than I see no reason to compromise on such poor spread.
Good luckIgnored
DislikedGood morning!
Woke up to see that 6 trades had been triggered during the night. 4 were losses and 2 ended up with positive pips. So overall it was a loss. The EA took the 4 losing trades almost at the same time, only with one minute in between. Is there any way to avoid this, so that it only makes one trade each time?Ignored
DislikedYou should keep in mind that a moviment like that (60 pips without retract) are rare on EURGBP during Asian (but not impossible).
I you look for an way to stop trading after the first loss.
EDIT: Solution found. EA will not trade twice the same signal.Ignored
DislikedThe problem in the EA with more than one trade per losing signal perhaps could be solved with a restriction of number of trades/day.Ignored
DislikedI found an issue about semi martingale.
Back testing both methods (with and without martingale) I found better results without martingale. The parameter of comparison is the risk. Each bad trade loss 15% of capital.
Perhaps we should keep the EA simple like it is (even with worse DD).

DislikedThe results look great. Would it be possible to implement a sort of function that was mentioned in the post above by charvo, that is a restriction of 1 trade/hour or 30 min?
Would be great if that would work!Ignored
