I just want to share one indicator I've used to take trades with HedgePanel32 which I've found a 90% positive strike rate by following the alerts which pop up.
I'll post indicator if you want to trial it.
I think it would be great if Hedgepanel could read and take those trades.

All brokers are reasonably good these days and if you don't analyse your trades you won't realise that there is anything wrong with them.
Since you mentioned pepperstone, I still have 1 account with them too and it is copy traded (my trades are duplicated in several accounts from 3 different brokers)
Anyway, one day (April this year) I was following my daily routine and was checking my open trades and noticed that in the pepperstone account 1 EURGBP buy stop trade had been triggered. I thought that it was odd because the same trade in the other 2 broker's accounts had not been triggered.
When I compared the data feed for that day, the pepperstone EURGBP bars opened with a gap down and triggered my order.
The other 2 brokers did not have such a gap
Price never went there.
So there you go, if you are not watching your trades and have some other account to compare them against, you won't see a problem.
Have a nice day

I don't believe that trading any indicator blindly will be profitable in the long run.

This is exactly what I intended to do billv. Came across two commercial copy trade EA's, that looks reasonable to me (tadecopier and duplikium).

Well, can you please recommend a reasonable one that does a good job with copying trades? If there is one with open code, that would be nice but I guess most of them don't release the code.

I have not come across any which are open code.

Live I've only used forexcopier and fxsynergy
Forecopier is simpler to configure and use and it is also cheaper

Friend of mine is using Tradecopier, I haven't used it myself but he says its easy to setup and use.

I see that your trades are closing using symbol basket TP1 with 50% trade closure (the default setting of the latest set file).

This method of taking profit is perfect for trading these particular alert signals (following the direction in the alert messages and not the arrows) so I can see why you are excited about your success rate.
Please post your daily trade history so others can see your results.

Knowing how this type of TP works, I'm confident that your success will continue even during ranging periods
but you might need to fine tune your settings a bit.
I would set the SL to the same number of pips as your TP.
Since you are taking small profits, perhaps set your SL to 10 pips for now.
In future versions I'm planning to introduce a variable SL which adjusts itself to the ranges of each currency pair (much like the ADR TP)

New version 32, INSTANT BE: When the break even button is pressed, if a trade is profitable, the EA will place a break even at a distance specified by input InstantBE This is done in cases where we are not comfortable with the price action so we can choose to quickly secure our trade by pressing the BE button. This feature is independent of the Automatic BE which is specified by input MINProfitBEL=10. ADDED TP When Autohedging=true When Autohedging=true the EA Will place a TP if the new input EnableTPin_Autohedging=true Also, when Autohedging=true...

No SL enabled?
I suggest you should enable it.

Thanks for the recommendation billv. Went through them carefully and yes agree with you, the forexcopier seems to be better. the good part is, they do have a working free version to try out.

Glad you opened this topic.

Cheers

You can if you want, it depends on your strategy.
A hedging SL is an opposite trade at a fixed distance which is like a Stop Loss (it stops further losses)

Don't forget to keep the slave MT4 accounts bare, i.e without fancy indicators and to keep the number of history bars + chart bars to their default setting (or to reduce them).

Thanks Bill, yes the direction of arrows is stuffed and shoud be fixed and irritating but I obviousl go with signals. What I like about the Hull MA (HMA) it's non laggig.
I'll keep eveybody posted.

It is our cost of doing business.
You should be able to get a discount and pay $5.50 per lot commissions if you sign up through the HFT group website (google it)
Since you already have accounts opened, contact HFT and find out their IB number with each broker,
then email the relevant brokers and ask to have your existing accounts linked to that IB number.

When your account size grows and you trade bigger volume, you will be able to get even better commissions
Pepperstone will not discount easily below $6 and you don't get a direct discount, they will give you a rebate into your account.

Hi Bill. Just a warning: neither forexcopier and tradecopier mentioned here will work with the OrderCloseBy function. The former, after contacting them, said they don't support it and actually trying to use it will actually lead to disabling the copier, which then needs some tricks to be restored back (following their suggestions). The latter gave a me a suggestion; I got a coder to insert a delay in the closing orders, but that didn't work either. I can't speak for the fxsynergy one.

Thanks for the heads up.
I never thought to check compatibility with other EA's because I only use the hedge panel for manual trading.
I was planning to use the function "Close order by hedging first, (OrderCloseBy )" in my automated trading,
but I changed my mind because it can interfere with the partial trade closure (which is very important to me).

USE OF THE HEDGE PANEL WITH TRADE COPYING EA'S
Anyone who intends to use the hedge panel together with trade copying EA's should know that the trade copying EA's might not be supportive of this (Hedging+Closing) function.
It is likely that the hedging trade will not be duplicated or that it will be copied as a normal trade so you will be charged commissions for it (or the trade copying EA will stop working). Please try your trade copying EA and let us know how it behaves when it is used together with the hedge panel EA)

You can test this function yourself and see if it works properly but if you are not sure, then don't use the buttons HEDGE and CLOSE HEDGED.
And also have inputs CloseTradesByCloseby4,5,6, =false
(If you are using the set file I uploaded with EA V32 then these 3 inputs are already set to false).


USE OF THE HEDGE PANEL WITH ONLY 1 MT4
If you are using the hedge panel EA with only 1 MT4, then you can disregard the above warning.
The function ""Close order by hedging first", (OrderCloseBy )"
can be accessed as normal with the HEDGE and CLOSED HEDGED buttons (you can use these buttons as required).

This OrderCloseBy function is also used in Symbol basket Trading 4, 5 and 6
but if you are using the set file I uploaded with EA V32 then these 3 inputs are set to false and this feature is switched OFF.

If you are interested to use this feature in auto trade recovery (using symbol Basket Trading TP4, 5, 6) ,
then you can switch it back ON by setting the inputs CloseTradesByCloseby4,5,6, to true
but remember to also set the input PercentageOfTrade1ToClose to 100 in all 3 TP levels ( TP4, TP5, TP6) so that 100% of trade 1 closes at the same time.

Can you move HedgePanel to right of screen?
I tried to drag it but didn't work.
