Bro, I'm just testing on mini account, using micro lots. Mainly I'm waiting
for Sasha to finish that spread Limit Orders option...
2) For Fibs I only looking to get general Idea (using Daily)
This EA does have SMA 197 and SMA 10, so it should take care of the
Trend things.
Here is another Buy Limit, let see, if Cable will run to the Pivot again
I got
tp1 22
tp2 25
tp3 28
SL 130
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

Alright, well, the reason I ask is because I got this Robot on for quite few
days, I don't see where you can grab 130-140 pips drop, probably with
Buy Stop Version Then?
But maybe we should just let you do all testing......Ha, just joking friend

But I had 80 pip SL with 15 step.
Reading from page #1 original GEO EA"
"The SL is large at 140 per order but anything less gives more losing trades,
if you are not comfortable with 140 stoploss then your lot size is too high
and should be reduced to a level where you are comfortable."
P.S
Basically we are duplicating Original EA strategy, which means 130-140 SL is a must.

I prefer to place 2 orders with half the lot size, first order to close at +22
when TP1 is reached move the second order SL to BE and let it run.
Yes I've read it many times, but Geoff also uses trailing to gather in the large gains. Hmmmm, didn't I read a post earlier with you expressing doubts about such a large stop loss? Maybe I dreamed it
Maybe I'll go with that but nothing wrong with testing for better results......

reached 1-2 times a year
I run backtests.. 3 Orders withlike 22-25-29 will give you 70 pips and that a lot... when you going to have
like 22 -50-80, most of the times only first TP will be reached and others bailout
at TSL... But of course, you can do whatever you want, cause it's your
money..

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.
