what lot size you thinking of?
Chi,
I'm using a .05 lot trading live with Bob's standard EA's (multi-level) on a 39K account. On demo I'm trading Steves auto trader(with a stop) with a full lot but if I go live with it I'd probably use .03-.05 lots.

Be careful trading the XXXJPY pairs and correlations at market open on Sunday as there could well be further intervention around 1.00am UK time on Monday.

read what you posted about trading straight up when 50:1 without recovering in main thread.

we should stick to low and medium volatility unless we are ready to chase it. i'm willing to chase it a bit. but it would be discretionary. like if it goes 80 against me. i use sl. then if 5 days later, i notice what i took a 80 sl on, ran for another 400, and the set up looks good, i would trade it again. but really, i wouldn't be chasing it. i would just be treating the same scenario with an objective mindset.

I am sure you know this but backtesting on a weekend using MT4 Strategy Tester usually throws the wrong result because of the massive spread. While the normal spread may be 2, pips on the weekend it becomes like 20. The MT4 tester will just use whatever spread is currently being reported. There is a way around it so you may have used that.

If this was done in the normal way today then I suggest the test is repeated after markets open.

Having said this, I've started to read the other thread with the aim of setting up the EA on a demo that I would like to leave running to see what happens.

i'm using a broker with fixed spread. (tadawulfx) yup i know that but i'm not really trying to prove which one works better. hoping fellow students could optimize or make improvements. This is why i'm sharing my results.

i'll try to give it another go once the market opens.

bluemele, what kind of tp do you use on the dashoboard panel?
Fixed, 500 pips, with TS. Here is my set file. Just take the .txt off the end of it.

The real achievement will be doing this every month. I think we've all tried new things that work great at first then stop for whatever reason.

I do believe this is sustainable though, but it's usually the person who screws it up rather than the system so I have my work cut out and targets set for next month.
Well, almost 6 months is pretty consistent. Even though I have moved it through accounts, the only thing I have changed is going from 4.0 to 5.0 system.

I had been 'lurking' for a couple months watching this thread as well and the results really haven't changed.

I think the big difference is that people have gotten more aggressive in just taking more trades. Using the recovery system etc...

Per Toothman, still no time on EA, but I am thinking I can drum it up this week. I am thinking a simple one is best and no bells/whistles. I couldn't get Steve's to really work as he has a lot going on.

Running with an 80 SL should be interesting! It would have cost me a bit this week doing that, but I am sure that is better than a huge drawdown.

I have downloaded and installed the 5.0. Wondering if I need to download the new EA from Nanningbob thread, or your software already have the latest versions of EA's?

thanks in advance
If I were you, I would go to the platform tech area, and check out the interface created by MART. It is about as badass as you can get and much more effective.

Max's EA sounds great, but I have yet to have luck trading an EA (besides blessings) without too much risk. I just don't feel that comfortable yet, but will take a look!

Hi bluemele,

just had a look into your settings and I think the trailing stop will not work as you have planned...

You set the paramter "TS_StartAtTPLevel=1" and "TPmode0.TakeProfit1=500"...so the trailing mechanism starts first at TP level 1 after 500 pips...I think this is not really what you had in mind.

I suggest to set the TakeProfit1 to a value of 40 pips to let it start from there. After 25 pips the stop loss will then be trailed in 5 pip steps. The final TP level of 500 pips is set in your level 2 anyway.

Take care,
Oliver

Hi blumele. Just to avoid any confusion, I was referring to myself by my comment. I want to remind myself that to have good results in the first month can be dangerous as the usual feeling of greed can creep in.

IMO finishing one month successfully is a small milestone. The next real one is achieving 6 months of consistent growth and you have achieved this successfully. The next big one is 12 months. I am sure those of us still going strong after one year will have cracked it. I'm confident you'll be one of them.

Phanti,

Unless there is a way to do it through the code....

You have to do it each one.. Sorry... I think Mart may be adding a master select all from the main screen etc.. We will see.. That would be nice.

I typically avoid skype most of the time, along with TV, periodicals or any other distractions that keep me from learning and expanding. haha... I would enjoy talking with you though and will send you a greeting as you are someone I can learn from haha....

Yes, you caught my error. I had just updated my file on Friday to move my Trailing stop down and was playing with the recommendation from Mart, so you are correct.

However, I will move this to the other thread, but I did see my blue tp line @ 40 pips. So that is why I changed it last minute before market closed. Sorry, didn't mean to forward that one on as I haven't used it yet, but using one with a much larger TS.

Sorry for the confusion, I believe you are correct!

I have spent days/weeks studying charts, doing backtesting, creating EA's around this method. Honestly, I am burned out on the EA's, so the idea of heading over to the other thread makes me feel a bit sick in the stomach. haha...

No joke, probably 80% of my work & free time has been spent doing historicals. That is why I avoid the pairs I do, trade the way I do etc... It takes a ton of time and energy and yet I seem to make mistakes daily...

For me the biggest mistake is always being either too lazy or too eager. I have to find that middle ground...
