for thirst day, after such huge move upward, will test run the other setting, which post will open at new candle, this will reduce post numbers at a spike, but will reduce potential profit and draw down. may switch mode from scalping to swing at certain trading hour. will need to open 2 platforms of same broker for the 2 different mode and timing.

did not manage to do the switching, plafform frozen, spread widen from 20 to 200, luckily ea were working behind the frozen platform. was fine with another broker, no platform freezing, no spread widen.

So I have tested this EA for 3/4 weeks now, the first 3 weeks were profitable and worked well.

Last week the account was up $4769 trading @ 0.04 lots - Weekly profit
This week up to Wednesday morning it was up around $1800 - Weekly profit

Then we had the massive spike down on Thursday which by now it was nearly 10k up, then the drop which had a few positions in draw down.

Today there were new positions added in draw down, for some reason the positions would only allow 0.04 and I could not lower this, everytime I changed it reverted back after 1/2 trades.

Today the account had $24k in equity and due to the further draw down, each position closed down one by one until the account wiped completely.

This is not anything negative has for the first three weeks it was working well, luckily on a demo account to test, but I feel there needs to be stops or some rules implemented?

This has been run 24/7 so I guess during red news it should be stopped?

Stops are needed to manage losses?

Maybe this EA only works in a bull run?

{quote} As the title of this journal, gold investor trading, this system is developed to increase return in gold investment a bit faster and higher than physical gold investment. I have been investing in physical gold and silver for more than 5 years. Last 2 years gold collected about 110% (50 and 60) return in value, and silver more than 150% in last few months. I am preparing this account for a reversal of 10,000 pips ($1000 drop), I have experienced 9000pips drop, and I have spare same $ outside trading account to top up...

{quote} As I said, I am prepared for 10,000 pips drop ($1000/oz), and I have prepared spare capital outside the account for another 10,000pips drop. I have calculated the maximum total lots I can open to ensure my current capital can withstand 10,000pips drop. This calculation is very important. If not calculated correctly, your account won't last that far. I know there is no guarantee price will not drop beyond 10,000pips. I am only making assumption based on current situation that as banks as required to hold gold in their...

{quote} the basic is the system in the gold investment ea, except that my version is a bit more advance and bit higher risk than that provided ea. I only use for long only, with TP at 1000Pips in case of lost connection, and ea able to close at 100Pips and open new post (same as the provided ea). I am using it for gold and silver, sh 300 (30pips) for gold, 500 (50pips) for silver. But I am using small lots to ensure my account can withstand a 10,000 Pips draw down. I saw that you are using a bit big lot size for your account,...
You have to stop saying that as the market is taking it as a challenge!

All eyes will be on gold after this week is the biggest range ever, with Friday being the biggest range day ever, which also reversed; is it just end of the month profit taking, panic, true reversal?

Let's see how it goes, good luck.

top up my account, activated sells at the end for hedging a bit manually with space between entry at about 400-500pips (feel like trading btc now). this has to be done at another pc where a backup is installed with almost no ea there. this has to be done because platform on main pc is jammed/frozen/not responding, but ea seems still working behind it. so just close the platform. enter manually for sell for hedging a bit.

the platform is back to normal, maybe because market is off. need to change my setting for distance between entry and the tp. distance at least 100pips or 200pips, tp 1000pips.

if it is a live account, you may want to ask me for some consultations in the progress. if you read all my posts slowly, i have indicated to change the entry distance and TP and activating sell option.

anyway I really hope that is not a Live account.

It was a demo as I was playing around with your EA, which as stated before that drop was working quite well.

It entered 4/5 positions quite fast I don't think your new version has an option anymore to limit distance between trades.

Had a great run with your ea this morning. set it going just before the market opened and went back to bed. Three hours later acc
up by $1400 + Demo only . would like to show statement but I must be doing some thing wrong as statement comes out as a long
string of numbers. I am using the 251018 cl1cl2cl3ma sl v4 but it is not showing any stop lose on the trades.
Great ea thanks for your input and thanks for sharing. running on 15 min chart

4884 H 4401 L. range 4830pips. they are playing rough.

my platform frozen again. maybe too many indicators used/charts opened/post opened.

luckily it was ok during weekend. manage to set ea to run buy and sell, pipstep 100pips reverse with additional 100pips every reverse, and 100pips forward (this is 2 way entry setting bit higher risk than normal setting, function not available in the free ea). tp set to 1000pips.

are you using default setting? range is about 5 times larger than normal range the last few days.
