SKyzerFX.... you're bright and VERY competitive. You're also very arrogant and I would not trust you with $1.57 US

You seek to demean those who seek to learn. That makes you much less.

To call you brilliant is egregious.

The brilliant will lead the fool until the fool has naught.



I will never make a great politician.
most humble regards,
TR
Say what you like, but we all have come to love and appreciate Sky for who he is and when you see the selfless side of him, you know why. He has been instrumental in our lives as traders and gives of himself when ever any of us are in need of assistance. For what it's worth, we're glad he's here.

According to Geof simple H1 which this is based on, the slope of 10 and 197 sma should be going the same direction. The 197 sma is definitely still at a steep + slope, so no shorts.

Using Sky's suggestion of setting the EA with a buy limit order, I was able to absorb the drop even though I cut the SL back to 80(giving me actual stop loss of 65 with PendingOpenStep set to 15) and ended up with a winner on TP 1, 2 and 3. Ea just took another buy limit at 1.5890.

Cheers

Sky,

What settings are you using on the buy/sell limit version. I have just loaded this on demo for testing. Been using the buy/sell stop so far with very good results, live but only on micro account.

Thanks.

What will happen if the buy limit is placed and go back into settings and choose buy stop and the ea now has both triggered. A buy stop and a buy limit. can the ea manage which ever one is executed no matter what the settings now are?
Or if the buy stop was put in later, can it only manage the buy stop?

Looks like the first order, the buy limit might just get deleted rather than get filled since the ea no longer is set to manage a buy limit. Does that sound right?

Sky,

Thanks.
I got

tp1 22
tp2 25
tp3 28
SL 130

PendingOpenStep 40 ( buy limit taking 40 pips below trigger price)

TSL2
TSL3 Don't matter cause They are not in use since TP is pretty tight

nothing to trail there.

TrailinStop 2/3 FALSE

PlaceStopOrders = false (using Buy Limit )

That's about it.

Sky 2 questions
1- how is the ratio for your lot sizes for the 3 orders+
2- when you are looking at fibs do you look at daily only or other TF's

Thanks

Sry again about the dumb question, but when I try to optimize, I get thei message:

There were 126 passes done during optimization, 126 results have been discarded as insignificant

Any ideas about what could be wrong? (data, parameters, etc..)
