DislikedHave you checked with IBFX as to their min lot size? Why are you not using a later version?Ignored
All three profit levels hit..+22, +24,+26! Thank you Geoff.
Yours didnt hit any trailing stops.
Your setting sound different than the default.
On my ibfx i hit first tp at 22 and other two hit trailing stops.
My tp are set at default 22, 50 and 80.
You did better than i did.
I got 22 pips tp, 11 pips tsl and 13 tsl.
Happy trading everyone

I changed my TP levels to 22, 24,26 because I am using 2 full contracts ($20 per pip) live and don't want to prolong the trades. All three TP levels were hit within minutes of each other. I'm out with over $1400...no stress.
Maybe you have a smaller stop. I just noticed this and wonder what happens IF/WHEN you get a big run against you?
I was fortunate and it worked tonight for me, but I think it made me about 20 bucks.. haha..
EDIT: I guess on most nights, it will only run to around that range anyways, but why cut yourself short if there is a big move? TSL not working as well then use MPTM.

V15 not closing the 2nd trade on FXDD; nor did it modify the stop loss on the 2nd trade...
(not complaining; made money on the 2 trade set file; just closed the 2nd trade manually 4 hours after trade initiated..)
Appreciate your hard work!!!

Yes, minimum lot size is okay with IBFX. I'm not using later version because I wanted to stay with V9 til things settled down. Ex.: I tried to figure out how to trade Ver. 15 and the changes I needed to make for a small account with IBFX raised too many questions for me to get answers to without being told to "read the thread."
If you want to ask your questions, I will gladly answer them. Ignore the "READ THE THREAD" alpha males. This forum is free and supposed to be a place where people get help, not feel like an idiot.
----Oh, and it worked beautifully for me tonight with 22, 24, 12, 13, 12 on 3 different EA's, v11, v14, v15
I still don't understand why L2 and L3 will get entered, but no L1 on some of the EA's.. Different each time and sometimes not at all.... IBFX...

hi, guys, i am new here, I found this thing better work on 4hr chart with sl of 50 , more profit, lower drawdown and I even back test it on 2008, it survived the year 2008 through out up to now with the new setting of sl and performed kind of safely and stably.
On live, sadly no
