My SELL GBPJPY just closed out with trailingstop being hit at + GBP 838.77 profit.
What a crap trade that was.

Steve,
My KG is about to open weak JPY basket on my live a/c. Should I cancel that out in the light of this scooby Ea theory? Or is it in sync?
Having said that, I think that xxxJPY Range trading will soon become a thing of the past. Other triggers will survive and prosper, but what we have learned here explains why so many of our xxxJPY baskets get stuck.

hehe I just closed my left over position at another $25
Total for the day = $65 that was fun
correction : $15.43 was the early trade and $55.19 was the combination of the pending sell order
i also had a strong GBP basket open and close in between giving me $11.30

Probably not. The robot will pick up the direction the individual pairs are moving.

As soon as this EA is certified fine, I'll just disable the JPY trigger.

$65 today. $650 next month? Next year, wow.
It feels like we are in at the start of something lovely.

My mistake, i set the trailingstop too high, i was expecting + GBP4,000 or so. Which is where the market is now moving too.

Shouldn't be long, mind. This is a very simple robot to construct.

Scooby, you also deal with 'dealing desk' broker?
They increased the spread before accepting my order because of the 8.0 lot size.
That is very bad. bucket shop retail brokers.

You, me and everyone else here. Just hang on until we are sure the robots are bug-free. I am a pianist by profession, not a programmer; my software usually has a few probs to overcome.

You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
