{quote} "correct for what" is referred at what you wrote here: rav: I recommend you stay with selection TRAILSTOP, do not mess with PERCENTOFPROFIT. PercentOfProfit was a request from the original creator of this thread. If you don't understand it with the example that were given, you probably wont get it any time soon. Just use the TrailStop selection. That is the usual trail stop process that everyone uses. So in your image you have set the following: Select: TrailStop StepLock: 180 BeginLockingProfit: 450 LockPercentLevel: is ignored Manual One...
rav the settings depend on your preference. What I think you mean is if the trail stop you have selected is adequate.
Then yes, it is fine, and I gave you an example of what your setup does.
So for the settings you provided you will get that result.

Thnx

{quote} @xmess7 so, for example, my case. i have 300us sl 7%, tp 5%, whats the recommended setting for the trailing options
Since you are talking % then it all depends on what you feel is comfortable for you.

You see in my case I am comfortable setting a 1 time Break even when ever I see 70-100 pips. I have had many 1000 pip runs doing this but I have also had break even stop outs (which is fine for me).

So be warn lol, the settings I provide may not be what you are comfortable with.

I would start locking at 5% and set a trail stop of about 4%. I would not have a TP and just let the basket run to see how far it goes.
On average if you are in the trend direction you should see the basket reach about 20-25% in 1 to 2 days. I would then close it manually at 20-25% and be done for the week.

{quote} Hi Kostantin, what type of Mtf Indicator are you using? The CCFp-Diff_[v2.0-MTF] ? And what are the settings? I want to try..
Hi
yes that's indicator, and I use same setting as its in normal trade, just revers. And I open Basket manually when I think that its go to revers for some time. Its works best in fryday 1-2 hours after US open.

SL hit today. There were many suggestions on the list, but even with the pairs filter today was not a good day.

To make it worse some pairs spiked and instead of the basket closing on -10% it closed at -14% so an extra -4% loss.. ouch...

I prefer to deal with %, could you detail how to get the following criteria in your EA:

1) Start locking after 7 %
2) Trail 2% behind higher equity %, in that case 7-2 = 5% >>> close the trades, if EQUITY % continues UP, always the exit will be HIGH EQUITY% - TRAIL %, so if it went up to 20%, exit will be if EQUITY % <= 18%

Hi to all

Here is the test so far since 10/25 starting at GMT 10 ( one day with big DD was due to change time, I forgot to change from GMT 9 to GMT 10 ) . I think we can follow the idea with Monday, Wednesday but using combined the LOCK% and TRAIL %

Hi, do you started with a balance of only 100$? How can you make these trades with a so low balance?
Do you use the "reverse all"?
Thanks

Yes, was only $100 with Lots per balance $100/0.03 ( very aggressive )

Note: I have in Tradersway up to $1000 max leverage 1:1000, from there to $10k 1:500 . If get there i divide by 2 the lot size or multiply by 2 the $$ amount, so will be $200 / 0.03

NO REVERSAL

BeginProfitLock = 7%

StelLock = ?? you didn't define how much the profit has to move in order to adjust the trail stop. If you " if EQUITY % continues UP" then use 1%. I would give a little more room...

TrailStop = 2%

Hi

Let me know if I am correct in that.

1) When equity = 7% the EA will lock the 5% and will follow the highest equity by 2% ???
