unless you got internet disconnection, it should be only by this way
or, ea (in case if too many of them work at the same time) spontaneously terminated its hard work
(what sometimes happens)

Now you've got me worried, it must look bad to you, I never heard you say anything like that before!
drop 1.4251, could mean nothing of course..
If Swing at night is not so large, let's say within 100 pips, EA could
take profit from either side. I'll leave it on and see what's up..

Thanks for that thought... This MT4 instance has been crashing much over the last 2 days. I have downloaded another and am re-testingjust V7 and canvovoo (3 order)
I will assume it was a crash that caused the trade to miss the TP

so 1st tp should be closed @ 44880 by 7am candle, right?

LONG doesn't look promising and Short too close to the last
drop 1.4251, could mean nothing of course..
If Swing at night is not so large, let's say within 100 pips, EA could
take profit from either side. I'll leave it on and see what's up..
extern int TakeProfit1 = 17
extern int TakeProfit2 = 30
extern int StopLoss = 150
extern double iTrailingStop = 15
extern int fast_sma= 10
extern int slow_sma= 175
don't think it would work any better then Geoff's, but the idea about 1st tp of 15-18 pips looks reasonable in really bad market conditions

Morning/evening.....day shift reporting for duty..
Iam looking for the current down move to target around..1.4265.. which will leave us with a small gap to the low of 1.4249..
Assuming ( a) the target is achived and (b) it hits it before the EA opens a position...
Iam assuming the EA will open short, or subject to a sudden reversal in which the 10 SMA will turn up and give us a no trade..
We are then looking for a breakout of the low....1.4249..
May I sugest anyone running the EA today keep lots low as we may see a bounce of the low before it breaks, it which case look to enter at a better price and put yourself in profit before it heads back to the EA open position.
Just my view

Good evening/morning Mr night/day shift!
Looks like a tricky proposition today!
Maybe...however if she breaks then.......it will be like a ATM machine...
It will depend on volume...will Tokyo sell the GBP or will we have to wait for London....
AS per yesterday...the overall trend is still down...To everyone that went short yesterday from the break of the daily pivot...well done.

Hey guys, i haven't really followed this thread since I have been using the simple 3.
Am I diversifying with the ea over here or is it the same, just a different amount of lots traded?
As far as I understand it..the only difference is as you say the amount of lots it opens.
btw, always forget to say, when i did an optimization for IBFX, got the following results :
extern int TakeProfit1 = 17
extern int TakeProfit2 = 30
extern int StopLoss = 150
extern double iTrailingStop = 15
extern int fast_sma= 10
extern int slow_sma= 175

lets see here:
TF..Indy..........Direction....Remarks
H1..Stoch(5,3,3)..bearish......oversold
H1..MACD(12,26,9).bearish......strong
H1..ADX(14).......bearish......strong
H4..Stoch(5,3,3)..bearish......almost oversold
H4..MACD(12,26,9).bearish......almost crossed down
H4..ADX(14).......bearish......strong
D1..Stoch(5,3,3)..bullish......not really strong
D1..MACD(12,26,9).bearish......strong
D1..ADX(14).......bearish......strong
W1..Stoch(5,3,3)..bearish......oversold
W1..MACD(12,26,9).bearish......strong
W1..ADX(14).......bearish......strong
so, the rule is: lot 0.01 and pray

Do you clearly understand what 150 pips in terms of 2 orders means?
300 pips loss and 3 orders version will lead to 450 pips loss.. It could take
months to break even, assuming you don't have another one around
the corner.. Sure it's easy on DEMO.. on 1 full lot 300 pips is $3000,
do you have spare $3k to lose in 1 day? You sure about that?
