sasha ...

first of all BIG THANKS!!! for willing to share ....

to limit the risk, I'd like to choose for example:
first trade 1 full lot, second 0.5, and the last .1,

instead of 1,1,1 or whatever ...

what do you say guys???? it's a good ideea? many time I freaked out and I close earlier ..... I think you know what I'm talking about ...
hard to code?

thanks.....

What I'm thinking right now it's a potential to place those Buy

Limits in spread.. Let's say 3 orders scenario trigger a buy,

Place 1st order immediately and place 2nd 20 pips lower and 3rd

40 pips lower (Limited Buys), if pair never goes down, fine, we still get 1 order

in profit and if it does we going to average down sort off..

So far just testing limited order version and see how to do that

in better way..
An interesting read in line with Sky's suggestion of scaling into the trades.

HI Guys,
is it possiable to enter trades on semi automatic/maual and then switch to automatic to manage the trade or is this asking a bit much of the wee EA beast.

I think the EA manages every trade you enter, automatic or not.

Hi Dryclean

I have just woken up (in Queensland where it was 28oC a couple of days ago - its mid winter!!). It appears that GU is stuck in a range having just nudged above the 1.5900 - got to 1.5907. The system likes some more volatility than GU is showing at the moment but in the last 24 hours, between Geoff and Sashasan, I have nailed over 400 pips - long and short - using GU, UJ, U/CHF and EU. My TPs are 22,50 and 80 with 140 SL but I admit to some manual fiddling with the GU trades as I moved the stops up on TP3 to lock in the increasing profit. Demo only unfortunately but live soon I think.

Sash, I wonder if we could have the option to switch the screen display on/off. I am trading with 4 screens (4 pairs) and the writing on the reduced size charts makes it difficult to see the candles!!
I am just coming back to FX (I like to trade index futures) - but reading Geoff's thread (over 500 pages) and now yours, I am ready to do some serious testing/trading. Thank you and those who have contributed to this very interesting thread. I for one am very grateful for the amount of time you have put into this and your generosity in sharing with folk like me who are far less capable. Well done.

Zeroing in on the best entries using the trailing pending orders is absolute genius. Whoever even heard of such thing, trailing pending orders...

I am referring to the detailed information written on the chart. Its useful reference, but obscures the candles. Once read to confirm settings, it is not necessary and I would be happy to be able to switch it off. It is not important, particularly when trading the robot, but I like to follow the price action.

The present situation on UJ is a good example of what Sky is suggesting. Reading the article Krunofx linked to helps understand the idea. Since the trade was triggered on the UJ pair, PA has gone against the trade some 20 pips. Entering the second stage of an order now would lower the average entry price and if the trade takes off in our favour, this will improve the end result. I would like to be able to test various entry levels though, as this could vary with different pairs.

One way to do what you are asking is to use Steve Hopwood's MTPM to manage the trade automatically once the trade has been manually entered. It is a masterful piece of programming. It will look after any trades on a number of charts on the same platform.

Sasha, exactly.. 1st Market order will insure we take a position

and in case of pair move straight up, give as a profit..

and second and third order should be placed on decided

Variable spread, let's say for example second trade 20 pips below

and third 40 pips below first order, STOP LOSS and TAKE PROFIT,

Calculating from MARKET ORDER #1. So, basically

If we have 1st TP = 22
second = 25
and Third=30

then basically if all orders get triggered

TP going to be as following

1st = 22 pips
2nd 25 + 20 (If triggered) =45
3rd 30 +40 (if triggered) = 70



STOP LOSS FOR ALL ORDERS must be calculated from Market Order #1

P.S

And I don't think we need a trail those orders at all..

Perhaps a screen shot of my charts will show what I mean about the writing on the screen being a bit too much!
