Disliked{quote} Yes, you can only demo for so long if things are stable and profitable. As you know, timing is everything in this game - it is possible that it may continue this run when I go live, enabling me to withdraw my seed funding and play with the broker's money, or I could lose a large slice of my account in the first week. I would suggest to anyone going live to regularly withdraw profits to ensure that when a large DD occurs, and with marty it WILL, that you still come out in front.Ignored

{quote} My M15 setup posted it's final target hit for the week and was able to generate 510pips over just 3days this week. {image}
I will check back all your posts about your M15 setup.

Here are my results for the week, excluding Monday, it may not look like much but my idea is to have a constant flow of pips that is stable and not erratic.
I do one and done each day, in this case this week the last basket took 2 days as things slowed down towards the end of the week, but all baskets were hit using 100/75.
Most baskets contained few pairs, the last basket for the week had only 7 pairs but had 21 trades open on them, Marty added more trades for each of those pairs, I have Max Trades at 28 and never did reach that.
So 408 pips for 4 days and 3 baskets is good as my idea is to make at least a nice steady 50 pips a day average over the week and anything above that is gravy.
That makes 102 pips per day or 136 pips per basket average, that beats my goal of 50 pips per day for this week and gives me some extra pips as a safety cushion for next week.
Everyone have a nice weekend and don't get - GREEDY -, - SAFETY - beats greed.

another example to RE-consider 
the 'Draw SL' line option:
Also: I reviewed the other pairs and realized the different ball entry-exit on V6, [the one i'm trying, 2Ball entry -3Ball exit] appears failed to execute on a lot of instances...it will open trade on 2Ball but will fail to exit on 3Ball --just FYI.

Here are my All pairs results for the week:
H4 CycleV5(3,1)+RSI(1440,4)+Addons(9,0.5) : had a largish DD on Friday (-1600pips), but recovered due to Marty addons to post a small BE style profit. However the week ended well with about 800pips profit:
H1 Basket_Trader_V9 HASex(1,200)+SWGex(2,2,24) : no action today in Asian market so closed it down. Finished the week with a nice 310pip profit
H1 CycleV5(2,1)+200ema+Addons(9,1.0) : still working well, closed down on the timer with 405pip profit. Achieved 704pips for the week with minimal DD and just two targets hit.
H1 CycleV5(1,2)+89ema NoAddons : finished the week in DD, without posting any profit this week, it recover from nearly -$1000 though. Still worth continued testing this NoAddons idea.

My pair groupings this week had very little action, indicating overall a quiet week for Cycle_TS, except for the Euro at the end of week.

Last basket for the week closed in profit very late in the day, probably due to an increase in the spreads across the pairs.
This one took a while and had quite a high DD of around $1,000.
Very nice profit for the week.
Stats are from the beginning of running this setup a couple of weeks ago.
I have now setup for my live account which will be activated at some point after market open next week.

Nice work there Seller9!
I thought long and hard about including the GBP in my live setup - it has been a pain in my butt since Brexit and has cost me a fair chunk but I decided to chuck it in and it is now responsible for all of the drawdown which was a little too high for my liking given that I am only using a 0.02 starting lot size.
I perhaps should have waited until Tuesday before starting live, after the Labour Day holiday but it is what it is.
Don't need much of a retracement to close the current basket so hopefully this does not drag on all week......

H1 Basket_Trader_V9 HASex(1,200)+SWGex(2,2,24) : had some reversals coursing a DD, will leave it another day to see if it recovers.
m15 CycleV6(4,2,3,1)+Addons(9,2.0) : in DD, expecting some recovery today
H1 CycleV5(1,2)+89ema No Addons : had some DD, now in recovery hopefully will hit target today.
H1 CycleV5(1,2)+89ema+Addons(9,1.0) : new setup to compare with No Addons, hit Target once with minimal DD
H1 CycleV5(2,1)+200ema+Addons(9,1.0) : in DD, expecting some recovery today

BTW: I have just started a Live session with my most consistent setup H1 CycleV5(2,1)+200ema+Addons(9,1.0) with minimal lot size of 0.01, I had a profit for Monday of 140pips (I closed it manually to change my EL to 12/8)
