It just goes to show, life is like a box of money, ya never know what your gonna to get.
No one knows where it is going to go next, you just have to trust your strategy.
Maybe the strategy needs more of a trend to work the best, but all your back testing proved that it works in the past.
The losses really hurt.
I was in the postive but now in the negative.
I hope things turn around.
Happy trading everyone

Strange.. Do you have

PositionMaxOpenHours =7
PositionOpenHoursMinProfit =8

in Place???

And that's should bail you out last night. I also was short and

this close my trades with 2-3 pips of profit..
Mine is set like this but I also took 140x3 sl

Run backtest for year or more to date with 140 SL and 130 SL

results are the same.. In 3 orders this will save 30 pips, better than

nothing. 130 SL lowest I can go,

120 SL unfortunately don't work the same way.

I am manually back in on the weekly trend short as well as the pre-tokyo bar down and then the tokyo bar breaking that low. We will see how it goes. Better trading to come I am sure.

How did you do manually? I made back almost half of my previous day's losses.

No clue either, I looked at them and have in the past taken a small to little profit. Last night I got greedy I suspect thinking that it was going to run and if I moved the S/L to BE then that is where I would wind up. Next time no doubt after that large of a DD I will move it.

Will try this again...

I set my TP to tight as I was a little leary of the night before made back 25% of the total. Tonight the pre open is down but the open is up and hasn't broken it. We will see if I go short again.

Made few pips manually already...

I see your talking manual trade's.....

I saw the short term was possibly up so I placed pending buys at 1.5410 the break of the top of the range....right now Iam about +20 with profits locked in...
As the 1hour has now started to show a short term up trend I have targets at 1.5452 and if she breaks then the old high at 1.5490....a break of that high and Iam looking for a target of 1.5577...
trailing stop will keep me in pips either way....

I hear a game of Golf calling......have a good weekend...

Serious question: I did some heavy testing over the weekend

and found out, that for some period I got different results ruining

5m test or 1h test. EA supposed to be work identical on 5-15 or 1h

TF, but why while trying to illuminate losses I came across that for

2 month period I got 2 loses using H1 TF and only 1 loss using

M5 m15 TF, how that's possible?

Can't say I've seen that but what I have seen is, there was a loss I think back in June and 1 in July and 1 in Aug, but when I do a back test I catch the one in July but not the June or Aug using V17a Default settings v17a with Geoff 142 140 sma settings I get no losses Must be part of the 90%

There has been some damage control with the 8 hour limit

This ea works great and has the best results of any I've ever used but the 140 x 3 SL. If that can be reduced then there would be a better sense of ease going to bed and not waking up with a 420 pip loss

v18+3 I get no losses in backtest
I've been playing with v18+3 and I have the DD down in the 5-6% range and I working on getting the SL down to the 90 x 3 but still scary
see the advance GU thread for details

I have no losses in backtest on either 17a or 18 alfa, but,

Alfa did produce significantly less trades, twice as less at least,

so, to make up some I have to bump Lot size which also increase

drawdown (max draw down nearly 10%), so it's really win-lose situation.

Pip, can you guys, next time,

FIX Money Management, so it's calculate Approx Lot Size

for total orders and not Per position %? Or let user define % (Type in),

cause now we have fixed Risk 1% 3% 5% per position.. And I want

to be able to calculate 5% for all orders. so it's 1.66% per position

(for 3 order option) and there is no way I can define that.

Thanks.

Hi Sky,

This is already possible. Just set Vhigh_Risk to true and iRiskPercent to 1.66.
