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.
Actually, if you have an account that allows hedging, then all you have to do is open two separate charts, and on one chart open only buy orders, and on the other open only sell orders. That way it's not so risky and you don't have to worry so much about margin calls. But, then again, I'm not sure the EA is setup to do it this way? I may have to modify it a bit so it only recognizes buy orders when in buy mode (for closing and deleting orders) and sell orders when in sell mode. I'm also thinking I might be able to create a hedge option where it opens both buy and sell orders this way from the same EA. Will have to take a look at both options.

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...

The thing about this though, at least with IBFX, I can request transfer of funds, and it only takes one or two minutes. So, if one account starts to get low, I can transfer funds from the other account. The main thing is that I'm making money overall, otherwise I'm just wasting my time.

And of course I generally try to stay away from setting the stop loss. Keeps the stop loss hunters away.

Not necessarily. It depends on how you set it up.

That's not the best way to look at it though. I'm doing the best I can to minimize the risk, even without or, especially, without the stop losses. Although I may ultimately have to go this route but, not until I exhaust some of these other ideas. I personally don't like using them. I think they're a waste of time ... unless maybe they are progressive (with timeouts) and you keep them to a minimum of 5 to 10 pips. Also, the way my system is setup, just about every trade is a potential winning trade, so long as you are prepared to wait for the price to come back around and keep the drawdown as low as possible. This is what I am focusing on.

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.

hi ec,

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...

Yeah, so long as you have enough money in your account and don't set the lot sizes too high. Then you should have nothing to worry about.

Hey, I'm only about $1.00 down now ...

hi ec,

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...

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

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....

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.

hi ec,

oh yeah about the news, do you think it will help when trapping the price action base on opening candle at certain time frame? it will open only after the candle open...

right now it work trapping the price action tick per tick, it open after the position it close because it hit SL or hit TP....

it's just and idea related about to avoid the news...

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?

No, I'm not sure what you're saying here? I keep hearing folks referring to opening and closing candles, but I never did pick up on that?

Which of course has nothing to do with opening a new candle, right? Are you saying this is the best time to catch the spike, when the new candle opens?

Am not sure it would make much difference than varying the preset but, we can always try it. Maybe after I finish this latest update? probably sometime tomorrow.

Oh well, so much for that. Not much of a spike today ... not unless I missed the time?

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.

Hey, where have you been?

Did you download the two indicator files and forget to compile them perhaps. That's what it sounds like to me if it can't find (I guess?) the .ex4 files. Did you put them in the indicator folder and compile them there? I don't know, I'm not having that problem ...

Quote

Is this when you set it up with the indicator option? (option 3). Currently I have it setup so it sets Max_Trades to 1, but only with the indicator option ... not unless I did something wrong? Will have to go back and check. As for it opening only sell orders, I don't know what that's about either?

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.
