Great! I will be interested to see how it goes with you and FXDD... Sorry - I have had personal things that have taken me away from doing much with this. I do have it loaded up and just need to get it configured correctly and am ready to go then. Hopefully by tonight - we shall see... thanks for all your work on this...

Sorry Chief, but none of my rockets fired today at all. Nada, zilch. Checked the EA settings 4 times now, it's active and pinging away but hasn't found any trades it liked. Wasn't using MM at all and set my GMT to 2 (should it be 3 now since daylight savings time or does that even matter?). Still on ForexMeta (step child of FXDD).

Hey Wolf -

Do you have your ea set on the M15 charts?

Afirmative Gary. Now...I originally had them attached to the daily but switched to the 15M once I saw Damon's post. Do you have call up the 15M chart first and THEN add the EA to it - does that matter?

Well my home internet went out at some point today, so I am not sure everything worked, but I only had 3 trades..

usdjpy -73.78
eurjpy -5.96 (at .01)

Then when I get home to fix internet the gbpusd was still in with a stop at +100, but I took the profit because I wasn't sure..

gbpusd +239.40

Damon, you are right that I did not have eurjpy MM set to true.. I thought I did..

L3,

When reporting your results, can you give us a pip count rather than a $ amount? This will be much more helpful to us.

Thanks...Damon

ok

gbpusd +133
eurjpy -58
usdjpy -29

Now the question is should it close trades like the gbpusd on its own or not until it hits the modified stop or tp? Cause I closed gbpusd manually.

Here is the results of today's trading...

UsdJpy -30 pips of loss
EurJpy -2 pips of loss
GbpUsd -2 pips of loss
AudUsd + 39 pips of profit

I know that you guys did not have your AudUsd trade trigger, but I had a dikens of a time getting the EA loaded onto my auzzie chart and so consequently entered at a lower value than you did. Because of this my threshold was not hit and was able to trigger a long trade.

L3, was your eurjpy closed when you got home? Because there should not have been that much of a loss today on that pair. I am thinking that the trailing stop feature of course did not move when your interenet was down. All in all, the trailing stop feature is working correctly.

You made a judgement call and grabbed pips. Shouldn't second guess yourself for that. Also, was your Eurjpy closed when you got home while your computer was turned off?

UR = 98.35
LR = 96.50
LTP = 98.50
STP = 96.50
TH = 60

2nd Set

LR = 97.00
LTP = 98.50
TH = 49

I set the threshold lower in the 2nd set so it did not overlap trading zones with the 1st set.

Hey Wolf -

You will be fine doing it the way you did. I know several of us had trades so something isn't setup right. When you setup your first pair tonight, would it help to walk throught it here to see if we can catch anything?

Hey Junior!

Open trades are closed by the order hitting the sl or tp. These trades are continued over into the next day.

Pending orders are closed by one of two means:
1. At 2000 gmt all pending orders are cancelled.
2. If the threshold is exceeded, the pending order is cancelled. I think Damon explained how the threshold works in post one.

Version number is the same as yesterday's. That made it easy to lay on top of prior file version (do you want to replace the file dated...with this one dated...? Yes).
