This is to confirm equity trailing V 5 , link above, is working nicely. you can set and forget.. it will trail close and refresh.
Nice. I am using it in the vps trade explorer attached to this thread . so nice to wake and two different profit closures .
Note trade explorer has swingtrade V 1 in it. and is trading 18 pairs so called liquid pairs and non correlation pairs.
It is doing exceptionally well as expected but now want to see it get in a draw down (which will mean it read market going up but went down
unexpectedly) and come out of it smiling

Hi CM! thank you again for all your hard work. There is something going on with the stop loss, it closed my personal trades last time along with the basket (I might be doing the settings wrong?). It seams like its only looking at the magic number (1010) but it closed my trades as well. I'm scared its going to do it again. Any advice? or could you look into it please ) this is how my screen looks. {image}
Good spot.
The trades have a mixture of magic numbers. change equity trailer magic number to 0.
Also I encourage you to update to swing trade V1 EA. The chart showing current profit for equity trailer should equal equity figure of the account

https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...6#post10830626 Liquid pairs

https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...0#post10830640 uncorrelated pairs

the difference between pac34 swing trader v1 is how pending orders are added to come out of a drawdown .
swing trade scans charts for a swing or pullback then places pendings. I provided screenshot of how pullback looks .
pac34 sends pendings like a shotgun . it fires many pending in hope of hitting target .
swing trader has technical basis for sending pending . thanks to dayi for asking a question I coded an answer

Honestly, i have tested PAC v34 non stop the last days. On demo or with strategy tester... all variants... long only, short only... both together... with hundreds of different combinations. Already 10 different Demos used. The result is always that by time your drawdown is at least as big as your profits. It made me crazy :-)
So last option is, I will give Swing EA and Equity trailer a chance as I have run the PAC EA lonely.
As a standalone it is not working. So for all newbies.. try all 3 EAs together and dont waste time. Candy is doing great job.
We can only test it and help him improve the system. So go for combination of EAs.

@ candy
is it possible that PAC starts initial trades and Swing EA overtakes afterwards with the following pendings?
Somehow lets say PAC only opens first set of pending trades and then stops for the rest of day.. :-)
As the first pendings, when you trade on daily candles are great signals.. just the management of the following pendings is a problem.

oh dear i should go to bed after testing 24 hours non stop

No retreat... no surrender :-)

if only i could figure out how to code ea to trade all pairs on one chart. if you trade 5 pairs then definitely can do.
dude you need to rest. the markets live on

Full 24 hours of actual testing on Demo account.
Pac v.34 on 27 pairs
Capital USD25000 traded in 0.25 lots
TP 400 SL 350, neither was really tested before trade closed.

The win ratio was much lower than strategy tester, I net 40.91% vs Strategy tester 60-70%.

Realized pips = -163.9
Ongoing pips = 319.8

Net pips ongoing = 155.9

No. of trades 308. Its opening and closing trades furiously : p

Hi renko, ignore the error 130 it's just the stops that the ea tries to place is deemed invalid by mt4, perhaps the price moved quickly etc etc

you can use just the pac v34. equity stop loss is another program developed for stopping out manual trades via it's calculation ... do correct me if i'm wrong anyone

@candyman752: If I' m running 10 different currencies, I have to run 10 PAC eas and 10 SwingTrader eas? Am I right? And all of them with Magic number 0? Am I right?
