DislikedI think I should trust more your EA, it took only good trades so far. Well done geoff, great!Ignored
DislikedI do RefreshRates() before the first order and usually the first order is filled quickly so the second order follows through.
I was surprised that a re-quote would occur so quickly, I think this is broker dependent, Alpari are very keen on the entry price!
I think another RefreshRates() before the second order should fix this, I don't like Sleep() instructions when sending orders, you can end up with the second order being rejected every time.
If you know how to add the second RefreshRates() you can modify your own mq4 file!
Thanks for...Ignored
DislikedInstead of sending 2 orders, can you modify the code to send only one order with the double lots (example: If I set the Lot Size ass 0.10, it should send an order with 0.20) and when the first TP reaches, it closes the half position.... and trail the rest.
I think this is more safer compare to the current code... Your comment is appreciated.Ignored
DislikedNo I let them go. The first short has been closed with TP and the second is still there with a positive stop loss. It seems real solid and trustworthy I'll let him do his thing from now on.Ignored

DislikedI don' know about this, but is it impossible to use OrderLots()/2 with OrderClose()...?Ignored
DislikedBoth demo and live closed exactly same time and profit
And it works perfect with IBFX miniaccount, 0,01 lot=1 cent/pip
First 06.52, 22 pip ptofit
Second 07.13, 18 pip profit
What do You say about money management with this system? I risk 10% on every trade (280 pip * lotsize = 10% of my balance)
Its more than I usual risk compared with other strategies.

DislikedHi Geoff,
Can we use this trading system on any other pair? if so what adjustments we have to make...Ignored
DislikedThis is good to know, thank you!
The problem with MM is that it can calculate a lot size that is too small to place say at 2%, 3% or 5% .
A classic account with Alpari has a 0.1 minimum lot size so MM will not work if you only have a small balance.
I suppose to arrive at the actual "risk" level we should include the win/loss ratio into the calculation, anybody with a math degree out there?Ignored
