{quote} Sure Fly these are the settings for the TE. Lot size is based on 0.01 per $1000 balance. {image} {image}
What's you view on changing Minimal Trailing Profit, MACD Dynamic, and Static Profit as lot size increase? - I have generally altered inline with lotsize, so it using lotsize 0.02, the prfits would be 2, 0.03 would be 3 etc?

Many thanks

Yes as the account grows and you increase the lot size, I think its a good idea to increase the Minimal Trailing Profit, MACD Dynamic, and Static Profit, that's what I am doing with Hybrid.

Why do you increase the Minimal trailing Profit and the MACD Dynamic?

The biggest thing is using a bit of a different engine in this EA where all positions must be closed, either in profit or out.

Different triggering, qualified on Daily Open and Trend Direction.
2 Different Tapout logics - in profit and out of profit.

{quote} Why do you increase the Minimal trailing Profit and the MACD Dynamic?
The standard Minimal Trailing Profit, and MACD Dynamic settings are based on the minimum lot size of 0.01, and as the account grows and you increase the lot size, its also good to increase the rest in line to maximize the profits on each order.

If for example you are using 0.07, and the Minimal Trailing Profit is still 1, and MACD Dynamic is 5 you are limiting the profit that the EA can make.

In the example of using 0.07 I would set the Minimal Trailing Profit at 7, and the MACD Dynamic at 7, and keeping the Static Profit at 10 until the lot size surpasses 0.1 then I will also increase it accordingly.

Guys please be aware that these notes/suggestions are based on my own personal experiences of using Hybrid during these last 8 months, and what works for me might not work for you.

The best advice is to experiment yourself and find what works best for you and your needs/risk tolerance.

Hybrid is a very versatile EA, and can be set to trade aggressively or low risk depending on your needs/risk tolerance, and finding the right balance or profit vs risk is why we back test and forward test busy tweaking the settings as we go.

I have found what works for me for trading live, and I am continuously testing to find better settings which have a higher profit vs risk - return ratio.

Hi FXsniper111,

I am not doubting your/your friends approach, but 2 months live isn't enough for me to make any conclusions - so many accounts/settings can last 2 months churning out 100,200,300% - I had one. I trade hybrid live and in my view, over 50% a month return isn't sustainable -maybe I'm wrong and I would love to be proved wrong.

Once you are past 1000 trades on any strategy that is enough to analyze it on a per trade basis. After that it is about time - surviving months, and long periods of currency strength/weaknesses, ranging markets, long-ranging fundamentals etc. That's why I appreciate 6 months, even if it is a demo, more than 2.

There are many ways to skin a cat. I hope your strategy continues to be a success but lets all appreciate that there are many other successful strategies out there that we can look at, try to imitate, and then personalize to our own liking. It's all about learning, sharing, and crafting our own system.

Edit - 3000:1 leverage???? Be careful mate You can use IC Markets - Aussie regs, 500:1 leverage - still a high leverage but in my experience a good broker.

Green pips to all

I can't answer for MRDFX, but are you using the same settings as him? Specifically the delay and step order? His TE uses a 300 delay on a 5 min chart, not 1 min chart, with a 50 step order. If you had these settings I would be surprised if you had over 1000 trades in 5 weeks.

I have a TE running on 1 min with lower step order and delay and it isn't at 1000 yet and has been running 6 weeks.

My results so far. This is only 16 days of trades with a total of 36 trades.

Click to Enlarge Name: Screenshot1.png Size: 78 KB


Highlights
Pairs traded: EURUSD/USDCAD on M5 chart. (I only added second pair USDCAD in the last 3 trading days)
Gain: +9.56%
Drawdown: 5.25%
85% win ratio


Settings
Fixed start 0.01
Time delay: 300
Step Order: 75
Daily Range: 900
Max trades: 200
Trade start/end: 1300-2350
Hybrid Start and Magix Scalp True (the rest are false).
Minimal trailing profit: 2
Static profit 10

Drawdown I am happy with, I would certainly be happy with even 15%. This is a conservative strategy, ultimately aiming for around 10% per month consistently. I have a long way to go, before I can get some bearing of the long-term, however so far so good, and very happy with my settings. The trick will be what exactly I can tweak which might minimize loss.

the myfxbook link is here ( https://www.myfxbook.com/portfolio/seneca/2823468 ) for those that have nothing better to do on NYE.

Have a good new years all.
