Anyway, the only real drawback to hedging like this, is you are not hedging on the same account, so you have to be a lot more careful about margin calls. The hedging won't help you in this regard.

hi ec,
you're right, i try a few times, it still never work, the risk is more bigger when open 2 account only doing buy or sell, it happened always one account is blow up and the other account is won, sometimes still losing, i think maybe it's not a good idea it can work for long time run....
the only one can do a long run only the setup that have small SL with working with trailing and time out pips with target point is bigger than SL...
with too much SL, only waiting a times to get it blow up the account...
but if you're lucky you can get the money first to witdraw...

By the way, it's been about ten hours since since I placed the original 14 trades, and now I'm about $2.00 down. However, I've had about 28 successful trades (at $.55 each) so, it's not like nothing has happened There's been a lot of activity, which is what I like.
Right now I have 20 orders open, as some pairs are two orders deep (and one is about to open a third) so, I'm really not doing too bad. Plus, once the prices start to swing around, I can start making some money ... hopefully.

The thing about this though, at least with IBFX, I can request transfer of funds, and it only...
you're doing the best with the ea and this ea is great
actually the key is the start up equity, when use a big SL...
first time i see SL=1000 is really safe but a few times it will blow the account in different currency when start up is too small, it means there will be a risky too...
but i think must put SL maybe around 250 is enough because the equity is still gradually up...
ec, the way you make the ea it's great even with small SL, one won can cover a few times losses around 2-5
even with ten times losses SL=10 can win 100 when there is break oh, i understand now, just transfer the balance between two account, that is one of the key too if using a big SL doing a real...

i try like this,
when do hedging, with 2 account, i switch the plead and plag and no use...
example :
buy plead=20 plag=40
sell plead=40 and plag=20
if use the same setup it will have the different result, the worst case is one blown up account, one can get a won with the same leng time frame when the other account is down when get margin call after 3 open do average...>> i try it at euro/jpy and gbp/jpy to see the risky...

hi ec,
i forgot to tell you with the 1.1D oc, i never can get it work when do power lot=true, is it working for you?
and i hope you're doing well with the account right now
i think with all the setup it will tune by it self every setup, especially with the small SL around 20-30 because there is reset roving and time out roving and slip adjust....
is there any way to move buy and sell pending modified=roving with certain pips? i think you setup every 1 pips to move when the price action is moving... i am just asking...

Did you try spreading it out over several pairs? That should help minimize the risk.

Well, I always leave it set to "true,'" and haven't noticed it not working. Of course if you set the lot size too small, you will hardly notice it. This is how it is with the way I have it set up now. The lot sizes are too small that it probably won't make any difference.
So far so good. Am only about $1.50 down right now.
Do you mean like opening the gap in the opposite direction if it starts trending away? Am not sure what you're saying?
when i set power lot=true, it only open at the first time when do back test.... and later no more opening...
i mean maybe it can choose the moving with certain pips maybe 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 pips everytime moving.... an optional to select, it can choose how many pips it moving...
right now it setup moving every 1 pips for every tick....

Oh yeah, they have this FOMC (News) meeting coming up tomorrow. I wonder if maybe I should have held off opening the trades until afterwards? I think what I'll do is suspend all trading before, and wait and see how many orders clear as a result of the spike. You never know, it might clear them all. Well, hopefully it won't mess things up, and I can resume trading afterwards.
Currently I'm about $3.00 down, after processing about $30.00 in wins. So it could be a lot worse. Yesterday it got as low as -$15.00, which is about what I expected (or hoped). If it doesn't do any worse then I'm doing pretty good. Although it would be nice to actually see it grow on the profit side.

Oh, did you download the V1.1E_0A version from the third email that I sent? That was the only one (I think) that was setup correctly.
