Okay, I sent you a copy of both.
too many times order modified, it make empty the TP, and later put TP again... it is repeating at back test...
and the hedgefund =false, it is still work.

Hey, it looks like you're doing pretty good! Yeah, the Take Profit issue doesn't appear to affect anything, but it would probably be a good idea to figure out why it's doing it. It may explain why I can't get the trailing stop to work, possibly.
Oh, I just opened the Profit Manager on a demo account with seven different pairs, and it actually closed out the orders when it was supposed to. This is good.
However, it didn't tabulate the earnings to the overall target so, I had to modify it. Hopefully that fixed it. If so, I will repost the EA to this thread.

Dear, ecTrade and Tulipevierge!
I really enjoy this Shake and Bake...
In this week i didn't see any updates on Shake and Bake...did i missed it?
Owh, i've read about Profit Monitor too...
What is that?
I didn't found any email from you, ecTrade, about this Profit Monitor.
Does it work?
(update) Ups, after reading backward of this thread i realize that you shared Profit Monitor within this thread.
I've downloaded the latest version.
And i've read all of your discussion (ecTrade & Tulipevierge) about Profit Monitor.
Thank you very much!
I never dreamed that my idea will improved so much like this...it inspired you to make Shake n Bake and even Profit Monitor.
I know that it's not all about me...but it's all about our teamwork, friend!
I apprecited all of your work and your ideas, ecTrade.
And all of your ideas and your great effort of testing our EA, Tulipevierge.
We will never make it this way without teamwork.
Let us continue moving forward together, friends!..
I found out that this Shake n Bake worked great in my forward testing.
Thank you very much!
I think it's really really great!
for ecTrade!
Also for Tulipevierge!
and for me!
About what Tulipevierge reply in this thread, i never faced that problems.
My forward testing worked very smooth without any problems...

hi ec,
thank you for new update
i run back test/forward, everything working fine(trailing etc, SL, TP) except when we put SL or TP, it will double in the terminal...
example put SL=100 TP=25, it will put the number SL=200 and TP=50
after price action, hit one of them pending order... the ea is trying to delele both of them, because one pending order already became market order it can't be delete ( i know it is not a problem because the ea only delete one pending order , i just let you know ecrade) ,it is just a notice action in the expert...

Okay, there a couple of things I didn't mention in the email. I got the trailing stop to work, although you might think the default settings are unusual. But, if you set the first value to "0," and the second value to whatever you set a trailing stop to, say, "15," and the third value to two times the second value (15+15=30), it will behave like a regular trailing stop. This way though, you can set the "minimum" value above or below the break even point, which is "0" (I have it set to "12"), and then set it at the point you want the trailing stop to start (which I set to "19"). From there, you can increase or decrease the distance of the trailing stop with the third value. If you want to maintain the distance you already have, then add this value (19 - 12 = "7" ... or, 19 + "7" = "26"). Or, if you want to change it to something else, change it. (I set it to "31" ... or, 19 + "12" = "31").
Also note, I preset it to the values I selected, because it doesn't appear to work that well with the way it is currently setup. I thought it would make a bigger difference but, thus far it hasn't.
Another thing, is I set Option_0_4 to "0." So, unless you select another option it won't work. This way though, if something happens and things get messed up, it resets the EA and suspends all trading. That means it deletes all pending orders but leaves the Buy and Sell orders open. The status display says it's in "IDLE" at this point. It's also a good feature to have (or, good to know about) by itself.
Oh yes, I forgot to add it doubles the Take Profit value when you set Trailing Stop to "true." So yes, tulipevierge, I did that on purpose ...
Although at this point it doesn't matter, because it's relying on the trailing stop to close the order. But, if you're lucky enough, it might go all the way.

No, I'm not sure what you are talking about? Where is this showing up, in the Journal? It can't (or won't) delete it if it's not a pending order. Maybe there is a "redundancy" in the code somewhere that I don't know about?
that is not an issue anyway...
it is showing up at the expert, i can't find it in the log...
example :
it put buy and sell pending order... price action hit one of them example buy.
the ea will try to delete buy and sell pending order, because buy pending order already become market order( it can not delete) but will delete only sell order pending....
both of them i think is not an issue anyway... it work fine... hehe i just let you know... everything working great
one of the best new versionyes,
trailing stop already work... also Stop loss.

Hey, thanks.
I still have the hedge to work on, and get the indicator option working. Hopefully sometime in the next couple of days.
I also forgot to set the Power Lots to "false," although I prefer to work with it when it it's set to "true."
Oh, I also added two new lot options on top of the Power Lots. It's still kind of preliminary, and may wind up being changed. You can still experiment with them though. I found that if you use option 3 the way it is (it craps out if you mess around with it too much), it will double the profit (or more) over what you made previously. Wow! ...
There's also one or two other ideas I would like to try with the lots, that I think will make an even bigger difference.

hi ec,
this version you really optimize SL and TP, about power lot that is ok... i will use it too when do real.... i have no worried anyway....
even with out indicator, this one almost perfect already....
absolutely with this trailing, that optimize everything....
i am still running back test and the result amazing too... and no error yet

So, have you tried it with Option 4? (the switcher). That's mainly what I've been working with lately. In one case, where I was using Lot option 3 (current setting), the profit factor went all the way up to 12 practically (11.8 or something like that). Wow!
Of course I'm looking at the lot values right now (as I test it) and I think there's something wrong with it. The lot values are jumping up way too high too early. So I think I'm just asking for it (trouble) unless I change it. I still wouldn't be too surprised if I could achieve the same results if I went about it differently though.
