Looks like we have support @ 1.4961.

S/L @ 1.4958.

Fingers crossed

I have $500 acct. Applied v14. It will not take .01 lot, error says it requires at least .03 lots. This would be too large a risk it seems. I have MM to false so I don't understand the reading, it it does go away if I change to .03. weird.

Just loaded V14 on my live account with .15 lot size. No problem for me.

Try 1 Order Version Settings!

But if you are talking about 1$ per pip 0.3 regular lot still to large for $500 account

You need mini account like at IBFX.. 1$= 1 lot. You can even play 1 penny with 0.01 lot

still better than Demo.

Yes. True.
and sky, I see what you are saying, but if MM is set to false, how would it read what size is too big or too small? shouldn't i be able to put whatever lot I want?
this broker I can even go half a micro, like .015, but says it needs .03.

with 0.03 that's 30 cents you should be fine

$500 Account (here is calculation of your risk):

0.03 lot = $0.30/pip

3 orders v * $0.30 * SL 140 = $126 = 25% risk

2 orders v * $0.30 * SL 140 = $84 = 17% risk

1 order v * $0.30 * SL 120 =$36 = 7% risk

You choose.

To use V3 with 5% risk on $500 account you'll need $0.06 per pip with 140 Stop Loss

0.06 *3 (orders) = 0.18 * 140(SL) = $ 25.20 = 0.05 % RISK for $500 account

Yeah, just curious how it's getting that error.
Never done the 1 lot. When does trail kick in on it's way to 80 tp?
Understand the 2 lot method.
Thanks, sky.

V14 has some small changes which will hopefully fix the "order modify too soon"
problems that lead to trailing stops not getting modified.

If you want to see the H1 SMA's on your M5 chart you can use the following:

For H1 10 SMA on M5 use 120 SMA
For H1 16 SMA on M5 use 192 SMA
For H1 197 SMA on M5 use 2364 SMA

The files in post #1 have also been updated.
Thanks Geoff!!
Thanks Piptician!!

Cable breaking down, it should stop around 1.4905-15

Economy really sucks world-wide.. NO sign of recovery only growing debt pile..
