{quote} Hi northedan, yes, the v0.7 is not good for trending markets. v0.8 will be released in the next two weeks and you can test again. You should decide to discard the EA or not, once it reaches v1.0, that's the stable version, otherwise, discarding an EA during its developmental stage v0.7, v0.8, etc, might be too hasty a decision. Of course, the decision is all yours and no one should argue. For v0.7, best to turn off trading at S/R 38 levels, and keep the “pips Range for pivot (could be 0-20pips)” value small (0-5), and “max opened trades”...
Hi WindChaser, I think maybe you can consider the pivot point changed direction as the trend direction,and use it as stop loss decision.Sorry for my bad English.Green pips!

To help with the EA, you should post also what pairs and settings you are trading. Simply posting results do not help anything in improvement.

Here are the pairs I'm trading. All default settings,H4. Currently in a DD, but somehow I think it will recover. Will keep posted. Want to test to extremes.

I have some question about exit filter:
1) how does candle body size work?
2) TDI crossing: I have tried the EA on H1 TF and got crossing but not close the positions. If I use the EA on H1 then the crossing would be on H1 too, right?
3) x hours as long as profit: if the basket is in profit and the first trade was opened 72 hours ago the EA is closing the full basket?

Thanks for help guys.

I would be grateful for some setup sharing.

Last week's results (live demo). We are pleased. If this keeps up another few weeks, it may be time to go live. Can't wait for version 0.8!

If we will find the solution, then we will have the holy grail. A long and fearsome battle is in front of us.
I am in that position right now with EURGBP and EURJPY. I am trading on H4 timeframe. However, when one inspects the daily timeframe, one can see that it is still trading in a range; so patience and fortitude are key here, I think, for the best result.

I apologize for the EURGBP chart above; it does not, on the face of it, support my point; but that is because the MT4 screenshot is too narrow. Here is one with my OS screenshot.

Hi oradba, good to know last week was a good week for you. If the markets are not trending strongly v0.7 works wonders, however be warned in a strong trend (GBP or NZD in the past 1 month) the EA could also bust your account. Don't go live until we could address this issue in later releases of the EA. Green pips.
It's either going UP, or DOWN.

Yes, I am currently carrying EURGBP and EURJPY from last week, and it isn't pretty. Waiting for the Mexcian reworking of NAFTA to be announced to reinforce USD as a safe haven currency.

Well, isn't this frustrating. EURGBP turned as I knew it would, but the 72 hour trade lifetime kicked in. Aarrggh.

{quote} Sorry for your losses. Managing your risks is more important than your entries.
Its only demo and just letting it run to get the feel before I try to optimise settings. Fundamentals are something the originator of the manual system said you should keep an eye on though.

lol, thought that Euro and GBP spike was too good to last. One day left to go. I couldn't resit that manual buy for AUD/CAD and was up on that earlier. Lets see what happens tomorrow. This is only half the order open. Heck. If it goes more to pivot tomorrow ill call it for the week and close all..
