Goeffb,
Is V9 better than V8, and in which way, please?
problem with the slippage that could have resulted in missed orders!
I would advise you to upgrade as soon as possible.

There are no changes to the basic algorithm but there was a potential
problem with the slippage that could have resulted in missed orders!

Thanks, Geoffb ... I will stay with V8 and V4 for some time to see how it works
First of all I congratulate you for the wonderful work they are doing with this system. I have several weeks following their advancements and am currently doing business with Alpari.
Someone could say they saw the picture attached because the EA does not close the trade when it reaches the trailing stop or when the price later exceeded the stop loss and not close to operation?
You can see how trading losses clearly exceed the level of protection of the stop loss.

It would be safer to have Hide_Targets set to false so the trades will be
closed by the brokers server.
hi Jeoff, maybe i find a problem in the v9 version (or more probably i'm doing some mistake).
i use your money management.
in the v8 version, if i set money management true, manual lot false and risk medium to true with a 500 euro account i have lots 0.01. if i set risk to high I have 0,02 lots. it works fine.
i've do the same things in the v9 but when i set medium risk i have 0,26 lot and more for high risk.
is normal?
thanks

and set the % to whatever works, the problem happens when going from
5 digit brokers to 4 digits it multiplies by 10.

Did you have your computer on throughout the trade?
It would be safer to have Hide_Targets set to false so the trades will be
closed by the brokers server.
I will try to leave it on during the trade to keep hide targets.
Thanks again.

I would appreciate it if any IBFX users could backtest V8 for March 2010 (1st March to 31st March) for comparison with my results.
I am getting 2 full losses during this backtest period.
My settings are default and I attach the chart showing failed trades and their corresponding detail report (22nd March failed buy order and 25th March failed sell order)
From how price moved for these 2 failed trades, it is unlikely that other IBFX users do NOT see the same thing
.
Price basically reversed full time after order is placed. So it would be interesting if you guys could share your results with me. It would be good if you can attach the same info that I did here. I am really curious to know.
Thanks in advance.

overall, there should not be that much difference between IBFX and any other brokers, for ex i remember when all (or majority of) brokers did not get trades, IBFX got and was in profit.

Hi Geoff,
I've been following this thread pretty much from the beginning, but only recently started to use your EA (v7) on my live account (Alpari UK). Last night was the fourth night it traded and the forth time trades ended up in profit. So far it got me 251.4 pips
So a BIG 'THANK YOU' to you and God bless you.
