[/quote]Thanks for the inquire
I'm using FXDD.. The time stamp is so variable... it's crazy. There is my local time GMT-5 DST there is my broker time GMT+2 but they are based in GMT-5 DST???. Then myfxbook has it's own time. So when the bot places a trade lets say at 00:00 broker time who has the time to calculate what time its gonna put where.....the only thing important is the correct time in the bot.
Like I said I'm GMT-5 DST so now in the bot I'm 18:00 and 2:00 was 17:00 1:00 before DST time
I also have the profit multiplier set from 200 to 250
I also set short trade true and long trade false for the 1st trade
and long trade true short trade false for the 2nd trade and I have no time
limits, also Hedging off. My 2nd wave longs have been hitting TP way faster then the 1st wave short.
I'm tempted to adjust the lot size and multiplier for the 2nd wave but for now I'll just sit back and be a nice little pig and collect pips
My only 2 losing baskets have been from the time limit being on and a long basket for the 1st wave. The time limit one was a small loss but with in 30 min more it would have hit TP. The long basket one was the killer it hit 10% SL
The only thing now with the bot is I have to manually go in and change the first wave to .....short true and long false.... then just before I go to bed and hopefully the 1st wave has hit TP I have to reverse it and say
.......short false and long true.
Wish there was a way to make that automatic
But last week was a very nice trading week[/quote]
Dryclean,
Thank you for your reply. It helps a lot.
Cheers.

Early days, but Monica is looking good. I have added a half-close and move stop to be at open price +- ATR. Post 1, as usual.

I saw her, what a woman, she has so beautiful legs.
I been seeing her on demo since past week and got her number:
154 orders - 25% upl. If we keep going on as this I will date her live
to see if those legs are for real.
Steve thanks hooking up the mm techniques, that is the key to this relationship.

Wow, so many wins! Looks full of promises...
However, why are there a few trades losing hundreds of $? total profit is 660$, but the maximum loss is 470$, if another such a loss comes, profit is gone then.
is there a way to avoid that?

getting to know her
The atr of those pairs is huge, hence the huge sl. I didn't touch her, just let her run with the market.
At first I thought the same, but after seen her behavior, I'm not so afraid of losing. If she's in the mood you'll have a lot of gains, that you'll begin to expect the worst, but in the the end she's just offsetting the losses.
Again, Steve's mm is the key to success in this relationship. Scooby said it before, expect losses, accept them. At the moment, I'm just flirting with her
to understand what make her smile, so I can smile too.
