i rest now last update for week

Strategy the EA uses has not changed but how to use EA.
I have scrapped the separate equity trailer EA.
The EA will manage trades
The EA scalping abilities have been polished up nicely .
The EA scalps and swing trades(catch them trends).
Thanks to redbaron who insisted on riding out ON A LIVE ACCOUNT and boy did he get
my creative juices flowing . I never thought have a scalp strategy incorporated in a trend EA.
A bigup to majamivice. If it was not for you guys i would have scrapped the EA and tried to figure out
how to code another profitable EA. I think i have started more than ten EAs and just ended up binning them
because of drawdown . I didn't like ridding out it was stressful. It has been an endless attempt
Anyway if RedBarons drawdown is kicked out
by the EA, then we have a winner.

Hi candy,

im following the community for over 5 years now. Most of the time as a very silent member, but now i have to say that your EA is one of the best published out there within the last 5 years. Well done, honestly, i still have not not fully understood the functionality. I could not find a clear description of the method, kind of pdf file or which exactly explains what the EA does. Only the first post gives a brief intro, but I think, like for me, the certain parameters are not really clear.
I am running it on demo currently. I am Using now v22. I just changed few parameters. Switchint EveryTickMode does not seem to have any affect. I turned it false, as I recognized douzens of closed pending orders which then immediately have been reopened almost exact same price. Why does this happen?
I thought maybe turning EveryTcikMode to false can handle this better. But nothing changed.
I have put Risk Percentage to 0.1 From my understanding that mean that I risk for a currency pair i am riskin 0.10% for total exposure right? So for long and short positions together?
.

Also what confuses me, that some positions the SL is nicely adjusted, but for other pairs not.
Have a look at my screenshot

The EUR/USD postions has just once been adjusted, even the pair ran currently over 50 pips in profit.
But the EURGBP (SL red marked) has been twice adjusted even without having been in profit with so many pips. But better that way, as i can lock in more profit if pair turns.

I used for both pairs same settings? Why does one pair lock in more profits than the other?

the above would not happen if every tick mode is true.
but every tick mode on a live account has order executing issues .
instead of sending one it sends twice. which causes huge drawdown issues

when ea is in sell trend it will open 3 buy pending first buy will be 100 pips from market .this is safety from flash crash. Maybe i should allow people to choose if they want that net

i was of the idea let the market decide if a trade wiil be a scalp or trend. I am using moving average to determine break even and trailing.
If you want to use conventional jumpstop . the ea has it . change to true and put your setting

green line with yellow circle sma 720 on 5 min chart = 15 sma on 4hr chart
