{quote} Great results PIF, I am testing a modified version of your FIFO settings using the EQB filter applied as well, and although the pip count is less, I would choose it over the other any day. Firstly the DD is less, there's less pairs so less exposure, and even though the pip count is less its still making hundreds of pips. Personally anything over 100 pips is awesome for me, and trading live I would just increase the lot size and still make enough $.
Am in total agreement with you ... for me, and it is all personal, FIFO is the strategy of choice.
I always remember another trading group here, now disbanded, where their target was 6 pips TP with a 30 pips SL. Their success rate over the long term was 90%+.
However like you if I can get 50 a day then it is just the LOT size ... but then everyone has their individual winning post.

Congrats ...
Just interested, have you done a "head to head" with your time and GMT 00:10 with the same settings?
If not then I will run that next week ...

Wish I could have excluded NZD baskets tonight lol. I opted out of my live basket with a small profit after manually closing the NZD trade, maybe a mistake who knows. We'll find out in the morning if the demos still kept running, they were looking really good until the NZD and AUD news.

In the future, I may comb through the trades that are in line with the news and decide whether to keep them or close them before news.

All of the templates I get from these threads I almost immediately go in and REMOVE ALL CHF and NZD pairs. The profits are not quite as big but the DD is much less usually. I don't trust those pairs.....and the spreads in the NZD pairs are typically high anyway. I don't miss them at all when I 86 them from my baskets. I would recommend giving that a try.

Thanks PIF. A long while back I did do a side by side test, and if I remember correctly I preferred the results from 23:10 not 00:10. I also cross checked with the correct TO time and based on what I found, TO is 23:00 not 00:00. I know there was some discussion about it in the CCFp weekly thread but that's what I've stuck with. On the other hand I see most of you starting at 00:10 and having good results so I think that both open times are good, which is the better one? Well that can only be decided with proper testing. I could run another test if I had the space on my platforms lol.

Should have probably known not to trade today, plus I remember two weeks ago on the good week wednesday was the only red day. I don't like omitting days but if this continues then it's a possibility. Red all around!

Just going through the trades from 29th, 813 FXMEQB, as below #1, I believe an excellent result, thanks FXMadness. The pips were lower than the FerruFx indis #2 below, but the maximum RR is far better in #1. I would be very happy with either live. When this continues it is all a matter of personal choice - chase the pips or the RR or maybe both? {image} {image}
Nice comparison. Call me crazy, but I like the lower pips for their low DD. It may not sound logical, but I fell safer with lower DD even if it means lower reward.

Yup LO has not been good today. Thankfully only one of my LO FIFO baskets got triggered by the VB and then reversed to SL, the rest are still floating in virtual DD. Also luckily my live basket didn't trigger either so I'm good lol.. On the other hand those basket without VB all went running to SL.

Anyone ever had this happen? It's just on one of my MT4 platforms, no wonder it didn't open yesterday I just now checked the expert tab. {image}
Surprisingly, this very same thing happened to me on Monday at LO. At the time i looked at the expert tab and saw what you saw so i thought the basket was not opened, plus the EA light stayed blue and never turned red.

However, one thing I noticed later on (because due to limited real estate I do not have the trades windows open) was that the EA did open the baskets but its light did not turn red and stayed blue. I pressed open many times thinking I could get the EA open the basket and finally gave up. But later realized that I had ended up with hundreds of pairs open that I had to close manually. I did not bring it up because I thought I had done something wrong since I am new to EA . But now that the same thing happened to you, it leads me to believe there may be a glitch in the EA.

That is very interesting. I will try it.

Well that's true of course that if you had a basket that is more pullback oriented on a day like today then yes you could definitely profit. I think most of the baskets here (at least mine) benefit more from trend, so the trouble is to try to identify when these days occur. This exact same thing happened two weeks ago on Wednesday and I can't remember if there was news before or not. We shall see how the rest of the week plays out, however Friday is another big news day so we may have to play it safe there.

That is very true, some may find it too much sounding like a bumper sticker but it is not. In every FX trade there are two sides. If we lose in a "bad day" someone else is winning and for that person it is a "good day." So far, we have done a lot to increase our good days and decrease our bad days. We have come a long way.

I am not sure, but I may give up on TO, LO... strategy (maybe, not sure yet)... Yesterday I traded 17 baskets, each giving me at least 50 pips, no losing trade. I am sure I will lose some in the future, but this strategy gives me more freedom, I don't have to stay up for LO.... and can trade on my own pace. Three of those 17 trades were published on page 41.

Took your advice on VB and today I set my LO basket with upper threshold of +15 pips. Unfortunately something wrong happened (maybe because I upgraded to beta_43) and since there was a huge value in Highest Pip Gain for VB basket was triggered even if it never was above zero pip profit. Luckily it's demo!

@ Embry1. Did you check your brokers trade limit? I've experienced something something similar and found that it was cos my broker has a 200 trade limit and after that it won't allow anymore trades to open. I would check to see that you didn't hit your limit at that time.


Also did you trade the USD news today? I had it set up to go but when I saw the pair suggestions didn't match up to the news I didn't trade it. I'm curious if someone else did?

It's definitely not a trade limit, I'll just completely reinstall that particular MT4 and see if it still occurs. It looked like the 12:30 GMT news was much stronger than the 12:15 so the 12:30 would have been the one to trade. I was watching it but didn't trade it either.

Good for you you decided not to trade USD red news.

I had setups for both and 12:15 (ADP) didn't start, while 12:30 (GDP) I opened it manually after I saw data came out above expectations for USD. It opened three trades : AUDUSD, NZDUSD, GBPUSD, all in DD specially GU, now -35 pips, Max +4, Min -52.

Which one ? 12:15 or 12:30 ?
And using the Open Basket button or waiting 1 min after the news ?
