{quote} do you use expert or all are handy?
Just in case you are still looking for an EA to close out your trades when they hit a certain profit or loss, try going onto MQL5.com and search for the PZ balance guardian, I use it a lot to close out winning baskets.

here I think.

If you are using this to trade, do bear in mind that you are taking on a disproportionate amount of risk corresponding to a less significant amount of potential profit. Most of the martingale-based strategies rely on the same principles. Quadratic DD curve with a linear equity curve. Not ideal. If you are taking on significant risk, it's worthwhile unlocking the upside as well (i.e. Quadratic risk curve and quadratic equity curve). Let the profits run. Ideally using a systematic approach so there is minimal discretion involved.

What you want is equity explosions. See the image for examples. Good luck all!

This is me. All is steady and linear until I get DD. Then I start hedging. The explosion happens when after all the hedging I get to zero open PNL.

Looks like nobody is interested anymore in trading both ways at the same time. I also abandoned that way of trading but I was busy with other things anyway. I've done a very little trading in the past few weeks but managed to add to this account 2.5k profit. I kind of like one way of trading more but everyone is different. Everyone needs to find their own edge but patience is needed for everyone in this business no matter the strategy.

This shows how patience in trading is very important. Yesterday I went short on EU but this morning I almost gave up and went long. In the end I'm happy I stick to my plan and it paid off.

{quote}…but if someone makes use of the posts already posted then that's a good thing
I’m definitely still hedging/averaging… slowly but surely adding small consistent gains to my account with very low DD…small trade size (0.5%) relative to bank..the trade management side- extremely flexible and no stress… just need patience to trade this way…Bigger gains will come when I deposit more $$ into my account..

But I am definitely in awe of traders like Biscus, ForexSaint, and FxSayWhat who seemingly add huge %gains on almost a daily basis…

It'll be a shame if this thread doesn't continue, I've read through a number of times and must say it appears genius if applied correctly. I've been trading shares (succesfully) for a number of years but have always struggled to be consistent in Forex. I'm practising this on a live, albeit small, account with good results so far. For me a micro account is invaluable as it introduces the reality of how your emotions and lack of patience can be your undoing. I've a few comments/questions from trading this so far, which I might throw in at a later date, but for now all I can say is thank you to all the positive contributors in this thread.
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.

I will start posting some trades again, but have decided to go back to work just for my sanity... sleeping in my van with only phone and poor internet during the week, so keep an eye on this thread, any questions you have please ask, someone will respond ...eventually.......maybe post your live trades no one will judge you only here to help
