{quote} Basically, what you're describing is a 15/2 trailing stop, i.e. you start trailing after the SL is moved into profit by 10 pips, but you then start trailing the stop in steps of 2 with a distance of 15 (25-10=15). So, we're talking the same strategy, but the parameters would be set as I'd described. It may make a bit more sense if I reverse the order of the parameters like this: BE_At=23 BE_Profit=10 TrailStart=15 TrailStep=2 So: when price is 23 pips in profit, SL is moved to +10 pips, and then price trails by 15 pips in steps of 2.
So with those settings if I understand correctly, when price moves to 25 pips in profit SL moves to 12 pips, 27 to 14, 29 to 16 and so on. If it's correct then we are talking the same.

Correct.

The good thing about this is that the code already exists in my EA, but I simple have it commented out. If this seems like a popular feature, then I'll uncomment the code and re-enable the break even feature.

It’s better to have dynamic adr to move the SL

It doesn't hurt at all. As of now, when profit moves let say to 23 pips, SL moves to BE at stays there. And if price moves back to BE we loose spread and commission costs like today. With BE feature we can lock profit as we wish( it can be zero), and it doesn't change anything for those who don't want this feature.

Or you can make separate EA with this feature. But I don't see why anybody would be against this feature because it doesn't change anything if you don't want.

I can enable it, but simply have it turned off by default - best of both worlds then.

Hey guys, did anyone backtest the years BEFORE 2018? And if yes, how are the results there.

{quote} Then the only reason you would get different results would be down to different spreads and market prices offered by the broker (many don't give you the true market price). I know that IC Markets are true ECN, but what about the others?
Paul, they are al ECN brokers, I don't use anything else.

So I decided to open a small separate account to run Ultron on its own and see how it performs, you can follow the TE in my profile. Based on my own back tests and optimizations I'll be using the set file which I've attached for you guys to try if you like. The DD is a little higher than I would prefer but in relation to the expected payoff I think its acceptable. I know historical results are not really indicative of future performance but if it can do only half what it did in the last year I'll be a very happy guy lol {image} {file}
How can I use the .set files coz I'm trying and failing to.

{quote} I already did, but it is on comparative graphs i posted for 105, test files. I will send all 3 set file. One aggressive, One conservative & One Moderate (my choice) given setfiles zip as well as test results for those set file. {file} {file}

I've removed Pawel version from live account, Sorry Pawel :-). I'm live with Paul 105 0.05 fixed lot size in one chart and cdsaa preferred settings 0.05 fixed lotsize to second chart. Will let them run for this and next month, and watching closely mrdfx settings. cdsaa didn't find much difference except TP is 118 in yours.

GBPUSD has broken Daily chart's support line yesterday, has developed new down trend. Technical traders understand what does that mean, no more buy trades starting from here only waiting for SL to be hit. The GBPUSD is in fundamental traders hands and they will definitely shake GBP with brexit news. Tonight gonna be good night, tonight gonna be good good night. I got the feelings.

Finger cross!!!!

UK Moves to DST
As the UK has moved their clocks forward this weekend, the London open now begins at 09:00 GMT.

The default trading times for ULTRON_PDV is 07:00-19:00 GMT (basically the most volatile period of the London and New York sessions), so these need to be moved forward 1 hour to compensate.

This is done, by subtracting 1 from the Broker Offset, so my setting (currently at +3) will revert to +2.

I urge you all to do the same, but the choice is yours, of course.

Yes, but unfortunately with this weekend being Mother's Day, I've had the family over and haven't had the time to make the changes. I'll try to get them done this week, and will upload a new version as soon as I can.
