Yes..15min chart is showing a retraction.. you can always re-enter if she breaks the low again.

your trailing stop should have taken TP 1 and 2....it did on mine....whats your set at.?

Mine is set at 22

Popped +$205.10 on the Cable this evening. Love it! No pressure or monitoring. And like Geoff, even after 8 years I'm still a bad trader manually Going to have to change my Avatar pic.

Hi

On my Alpari UK demo, trade triggered at 1.4525.

Both target 1 and 2 achieved.

If I had those smilies with different emotion, I would be giving Geoff a few of the ones clapping, great job so far mate.

Will keep forward testing before going live.

Cheers

I'm now with Go Masters. I closed the 3rd trade early as it popped an additional $54.60 and I was very happy with that. They're the same time as Alpari UK - GMT+2 even tho they're in Australia.

I'm sure most of you follow "Simple H1 GBPUSD EA" as well but just in case:
No trade using broker Tadawul tonight for myself and a few others reported same for Simple H1 GBPUSD EA, not sure if the other people are testing this EA.

I don't why there are all the zeros in the "lot size" when I pull out the .set file, because they don't appear on the mq4 file. And backtesting shows no errors!

Where am I wrong????

Thanks.

All 3 trades in TP on Alpari UK live. Sweet! I wish I could wake up this way every morning.

I left by mistake 0.1 lots in the options and got over +120 euros on my account. If I ever become rich I swear I'll donate to charity, I'm feeling like a robber right now.

Hi Orcinus!

Earlier today I added a few notes in post #1 on the other thread about manually trading this strategy however, I must re-state my own position, I am no expert at manual trading so, true to form, I have passed the buck (no pun intended) and asked people to look out for posts from members such as calstock who have found success manually trading the strategy.

I hope you find what you are looking for!

Thanks geoff.
