It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

Here is the EA slightly modified to make it easier to display the stopLoss in the parameter table; there is no longer any need to put the minus sign (-) in front of the number and this number will now be the one which will correspond to the % of the range which will be subtracted if it is a buy or added if it is a sell. Example: previously for a 55% stop it was necessary to display - 45. Now just display... 55.{file}

{quote} Thats ok and I appreciate your reply. I do prefer the pending orders over the market orders, and you one works very well indeed. Thank you
I have made only a few modifications so that it corresponds to certain needs, this within the limits of my (weak) skills.
I am also the first surprised that what I did works!
Also, if real coders can still improve it, go for it ...

{quote} Hi Transmat, I had coded this in an old version of an EA for other system, I don't remember full testing it though but you may if you want to. double CalculateStakeByEquity(int stakePercent ) { double oneLotMargin = MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_MARGINREQUIRED); double lotMM = (AccountEquity() / 3) / oneLotMargin * stakePercent / 100; double lotStep = MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_LOTSTEP); return NormalizeDouble(lotMM / lotStep, 0) * lotStep; } Note: I don't know why it's dividing by 3 there, it might be related to the system
I'm going to look at this and see if I can make it work.
But I'm going to be pretty busy elsewhere today so I'm asking for a little time ...
Nice to see you again, sangui.

I kept checking the thread almost every day to see how it was going and finally decided to start trading it this week...what a bad desition lol. It was painfull to watch the stoplosses being hit on wednesday morning after going to sleep with all orders in good profits and I just manually closed all the remaining ones. Did it perform better later?
I guess we need to add a break even to fire after small wins, we could place the orders again if it goes down to the high of the range or a percentage.

But it's alright. It's a sequence of up weeks and down weeks, it just so happened we started on the down week. Proper money management should allow us to last through this.
Also I trust my analysis. I'll keep doing this until June and reevaluate. 
Unfortunately it hasn't gone better later. I kept my trades and did not close. 5 pairs has hit SL, 1 BE. I don't plan on re-entering on them this week. 
Just sticking to the plan. I still have 11 open trades and 26 Orders. so either no trade, 2R TP, 1R SL, BE, or closed at end of London Friday. USDCAD SELL seems to be the only trade doing well.
