ATR is one way ......
Can you share how many% ATR (14) give PT and SL? If necessary, shift the SL according to% ATR. ATR is the best 14?
Please excuse the bad English via Google Translate.
usually i have seen many that use ATR between 0.5 to 3+
others change also ATR (14) to something else

if you search there is a indicator that can print the SL or TP in the screen

you choose that you want .. from how much you can loose ...
also search ATR in youtube ...

Results for this week using EG on MoTuBo: 10% loss

There were a couple of things that contributed to this: firstly the range was very small on a couple of pairs and trades were entered which, in hindsight, should have been avoided; secondly, things were going great into Tuesday when there was a major news spike which dipped my equity down to the 10% max loss I had specified, triggering EG to close all trades.

The market subsequently recovered, and I believe that had I not already lost those two trades that shouldn't have been opened, I may have come out of this week with a nice profit.

So...I've added a min range filter to MoTuBo in the hope to avoid that scenario again.

I will be checking into a couple of bugs reported (above) and hope to have a new version of EG shortly.

My demo turned out even worse. It may be set incorrectly. It's hard to find the same settings as yours. I will attach my settings.

Mine would have ended up in profit if I had not interrupted with the trades. It's all a matter of settings. My stop loss was 100%.

Over all, it's a very strong performance. We're close to the end of the 2nd quarter of the year, so you can expect the markets to stall as financial institutions draw up there statements.

Hello Paul. Thanks for the improvements on the equity Guardian EA so far. Kindly look into this observation I made today. Initially I had set my profit target to 20% on demo account. And, at a point during trading, I realized I could achieve 25% profit target easily. So I decided to change it to 25%, but noticed that it still showed 20% on my chart(information panel). That on it's own may be a bug. But further more, since it didn't reflect the change I made on the chart(information panel), I opened same version of the equity guardian to input the...
I have been going through the code and trying out various scenarios attempting to reproduce these bugs, but have not been able to do so.

Although, I did get it to close all trades early, it was only because when I applied a new version to the chart, I forgot to set the date for the opening balance - could this have been what happened for you?

{quote} Also, I tried using Equity Guardian with with the Profit Target set to zero but it immediately closed all trades without the Loss Limit being anywhere close to my setting. Thanks Paul. Keep up the good work!
As I suspected, I hadn't taken this (perfectly valid) scenario into account.

I have now coded this in, so you should now be able to leave the profit target as zero, and simply let Equity Guardian close using the trailing profit.

Equity Guardian EA This little EA is designed to protect your account from unexpected drawdowns and/or lock in profits. Note: It does NOT place orders. It does NOT amend existing orders. It can be used alongside any other EA or manual strategy that you care to use. Features Monitors EQUITY, not simply floating profit/loss. Can monitor all trades, trades submitted by any EA or trades submitted by a specific EA. Closes all monitored trades if equity falls below a specified loss limit (expressed in either an amount or a percentage of the opening balance)...
Does this EA use the balance or equity to determine when to close the basket? The reason is, sometimes I close some trades at profit which increases the balance but at the same time I'm still floating negative equity so I don't want to close the entire basket until there's an actual equity raise.

Yes, It is. I didn't change the date. Thanks. But what about the issue of changing the profit target while it fails to reflect on the information panel?

I tried to replicate this too, but no matter what I did, the change was reflected in the info panel. If you can force the bug to surface and can tell me exactly how you did it, I should be able to find it, but as of now, I can't seem to get it to go wrong.

Place it on a separate chart.
