geoffb65It is not a good idea to give investment advice especially with my track record in manual trading! http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/smilies/yim/doh.gif
I would be looking to see any sign of a down move in the next couple of hours because, if it goes below 1.5120 ish it could drop much further!
Please be aware, I am not good at this!
Looks pretty good advise to me.....bang on I would say....with a nice exit at 1.5071...
It's 7:15 am here Pacific Coast Time. My demo FXDD opened but didn't close (now at 38 and 38 (was 41 and 41 a min ago) and falling. Should I exit manually? Version 5.
Good Job Sellog!!!, I got ancy and though that GU was going to reverse at 12:00gmt i set the EA to Breakeven AHHHHHH
I should have kept my hands off my computer
what you should do the next time you wish to interfere with your plan is think of the following:
when your pilot set the aeroplane to autopilot does he jump back n the stick the inute there is a little turbulence.
No he does not, the plane flys it's self and has mechanisms to cope with the turbulence and so on.
You are letting the EA run or are you.
Do you accept and understand the stop loss, is this part of your plan.
If the stop/risk is too much for you too handle then you should not be trading this Ea, you should manually trade the system...
Okay, will do that. I can't see where my tiny account is going to set any broker on red alert...
It is possible that the close order instruction was missed by the EA.
When hide_targets is used it relies on the EA to close the trade at the TP whereas, when hide_targets is false the TP and SL are passed to the broker at the same time as the order is sent.
This could be broker dependent, you will have probably noticed when you try to close an order manually, if the price is moving they ask for a re-quote and you have to try again.
The EA can't do this so it may be better for now to set hide_targets to false.

come to think about it, ECN has no re-quotes so it should have gone through so we're back with ECN brokers!
hapipipin!

Does V6 and V7 with the retry 10 times bit also retry when looking to close?

Godmorning
Tonight I studied what happens between GMT23-24
Alpari UK demo:2 orders 23.33 correct (wait for fractal5 to confirme)
sell 1.51322
order1:tp 01.00 1.51102 (low on that candle 1.51061)
order2:still open
IBFX demo:2 orders sell 23.35 correct (wait for fractal5 to confirme)
sell 1.5130
order1:tp 01.00 1.5108 (low on that candle 1.5105)
order2:still open
IBFX live:2 orders 23.40 (have to wait 5 min extra for fractal5 to confirme, depending on that the 5 min 23.15 candle is 1 point higher on demo than on live, why should IBFX do it lower...
All trades closed in profit but different result because of different entry.
Difficult to optimize IBFX last 12 month because it has only wins. I´m not gtoing to use ver7 on IBFX, the only reason to use it is for filter loosing trades and IBFX does not have any loosers.
I will continue to use ver5a because the possibilite to experiment with start time. But if I miss second trade I will change to ver6.
I will try to optimize it for the last 12 month but I think its god as it is. Three trades last week (only tried three times), one this week, all...
