I will wait for Frankfurt and London before deciding!
You manually close iof you think the trade needs it ?
Wont that make any back test of the results questionable
ie you closed for 20pips but it did make 70 in the back test
or you closed for 20 pips but it made a loss of 140 in the back test
With a huge stop how can one judge when 100 pips away whether to close or not ? what looks bad now may look good in 10mins
cheers

I tested geoffs EA for several weeks now and didn't have one losing trade. I followed all versions since the very first one, updated and tweaked everything.
Testing time is over, now it's time to optimize profits and play the game. There is nothing wrong in closing bad trades.

My problem on Fxpro
It took at 23:00 GMT 1.4818 on demo and 23:15 GMT 1.4828 on live
it makes a huge difference
the charts are the same and no problem in the logs
Geoff, do you know why?
thanks
formation, my Fxcbs live account traded at 1.4828.

I always had a similar issue between Alpari Live and Demo. When looking closer I found small differences between live and demo. Right now for example the spread for GBPUSD on live is 2.5 and demo is 1.6. So I do not think this has anything to do with the EA>
whereas their Classic and Micro accounts are "manipulated"!
