Very risky indeed short the bottoms. So far it's going wrong direction.
I have been thinking that for a while, as it has taken more than one trade "at the bottom", but tbh with cable i think the 20odd pips tp that we use, (often) gets absorbed in the noise

Any specfic reason for triggering EURUSD earlier than GU ? please commnet.

How about other pairs, like EJ or GJ ?
I backtested a lot and came up with the following set up to be the best with 6 losses over the course of 2010:

t/p 1 31
t/p 2 47
s/l 135
tr s/l 31
GMT offset 2
start time 22

so you start 1 hour earlier than GBPUSD

I am just abt to test the beast and eur/jpy for different start times as in asia opening this does not work too good with the definitions in the current ea. Additional point is that I want to increase uncorrelated risk and not correlated one......I will keep you posted...

Using V7 with no changes on 5 currency pairs. Real $ and loving it.

No trades last night, but tonight I had 8 trades on 4 pairs. Only the $/J did not trade. All closed in profit, with all but one over 20 pips. In all, I took down 206.71 pips. At $2,000 a night, I can easily afford to skip a night once in a while. Roll on.

Hi Dick, no changes at all to any parameters (TP1, TP2, TSL, SMAs) on all pairs?
Just want to confirm!

It's quite amazing if that is the case.

Please Boxxie, I wonder if you can help out with this?

On the other thread I have had a couple of people having problems getting the 3 order EA to trade on TDFX, they get "invalid lot size" error.

They tell me that they are allowed a minimum lot size of 0.05 yet this is rejected and even 0.1 lot size is rejected.

Obviously you don't have a problem but can you throw any light on it?
Geoff,

For those who are having a problem with invalid lot size with TDFX, here
is the set file I use with v7 and .1 lots. I hope it helps.

Especially when you consider that the strategy was only developed for GBPUSD!

Hi Geoff,

there must be something wrong with the code in either the V7 ea or the 3order EA. I use both EAs on 2 charts but the same account with different magic numbers. But the stop limits from the V7 were modified by the 3order EA and vice versa. This morning the stop limit of the 3rd order was still at 140 although the first 2 orders ended in profit. So I had to close the 3rd order of the 3orderEA manually not to get in loss...

Could you please check this?

Thanks and greetings,
Olarion
