{quote} Mrdfx, so you are using progressive and risk 2%?
In this test I was using default progressive and 10% risk.

What do people think of the strategy of having two profit targets, where you close out a portion of the position at TP1 and the rest either at TP2 or leave TP2 as zero to try and make the most of a trend (with a trailing stop, of course)? Would it be worth coding this option into the EA?
Or can there be the option to open multiple lot positions each with there own TP/SL.

So Friday early close out better. Or Friday end of day closing of trades. Anyway we had 2 wins and 1 loser
Yes not a good idea to leave the trade open over weekend.

I actually was thinking, open 3/4 trades same lot size 0.01 with multiple trailing stop / TP. But then single trade is working good so why to make it complicated. It's Paul call to insert this feature or leave as it is.

Yeah sell open. I closed the buy at a slight loss as GU as it was over the weekend and could crash or skyrocket lol. Think I'll keep this sell going but really can't say.

Coming to this - half TP1 and leaving second to the trend..-- may be good on others, but so far,

in Tests, one with TP=0 didnt yield so many trades which are bigger winners. Percentage is less than 10%. So, personally i think, this would not be an added advantage, to already good one. But if others feel that way, we can continue.

I think lets spend time on analyzing some data patterns and coming up with either another filter to add to entry or exit early a loosing trade. We will find something, if few of us spend time on it.

Am not sure, i can record and send a video, if you guys need it. May be lets select a month with many losers, i will do a video and lets come up with a pattern perhaps.

Hi
about TP i think you know advanced trailingstop in " CCFp weekly signals" system and i think it's a good idea to accomplished it in this EA.
about second part, of course it's a good idea to use more patterns, indicators and... to make this EA better and better. it's obvious.

Best Regards

Yes I'm using a 100 pip SL.

From my testing and optimizations 100 pip SL had better results than 70 pips.

To add to this I've been doing all kinds of tests and optimizations over the weekend and so far these are the best settings I've found with a good profit and acceptable DD. Yes there were more profitable settings (+$100k) but the DD was over 50% which is past my threshold.

SL: 100
TP: 0

Progressive: True
Risk %: 4
Risk Basis: Full leverage

Tr Stop: 40
Tr Step: 2

With these settings tested over the last year, results from $1k start is $60k profit with 3.56 PF and 43% DD.

Setting Risk % to 5 would raise the profits to over $144k, but the DD goes up to 52% which is personally too high for live trading.

Yeah just confirming what everyone else said: Friday's move hit the SL, but a sell order opened shortly after the closing of Friday's move. Hopefully this order does better haha

agreed, DD is very important factor.
Relative Drawdown, right @paroucia.
