Max

I just noticed something strange and potentially dangerous. On V91g I have default lot as 0.05. I just noticed that some trades were at 0.3 lot!! There are three instances of these. See screen shot please. In this case it was good but equally it could be bad.

Not sure if this is a big or a feature. Can you please clarify??

By the way, it is working great actually. The account is 4.33% since Sunday night (including some manual trades).

Thanks

there is nothing harcoded for Lot, so you have run it without change the default setting I guess.

Possibly it happened while I changed over the EA before I applied my setting. I'll keep an eye on it.

By the way I very much like the way it closes all trades at a certain point (although I am not sure I understand exactly the condition). It forces bad trades out and does not let them linger. I suppose it will cut some profitable trades but overall may be safer (I hope

yes, it's my main idea. DD occurs with old bad trades lurking. Better loose some potential profit but keep DD small, safer to bank small profit everyday.
I really think it's the key of the success.

Max, I tried to find more information about what triggers the closing of all trades . Can you clarify at what point will all trades close and is it configurable?

Thanks

Well, it seems like it took care of itself? No files there anymore and no more messages. Strange...

I believe it is based on new daily profit.

For instance, my trades don't get closed out because I haven't been in profit for a week. However, once my DD gets to a point where it would be in profit x%, then it will close all trades and start fresh.

Max, I am curious if let's say a big 200 pip move against several currencies happen at once. And, an L2 trade occurs and it is the beginning of a 1,000 pip move without enough retrace. What then?

The thing that sucks about this EA is that I can't trade it with my American brokers anymore or even most good foreign brokers.

No it's rather complex and not configurable. For moment I writed this code for myself and i feel confortable with it. Look at the code in order to understant it.

This the latest version.
Now I am able to detect when a news is (or not) with "Speaks". In this case I add an extra delay for not trade after a such news is released (when a high impact news where a guy "speak" I don't want open a trade during one hour....)

Arbinka,

I also have a demo with 86d, abd it trade much more that the latests versions. I don't know really why, although there is a check now in order to avoid take a 2 nd KG or trix order in the opposite way of the 1rst order.
Anyway I am happy with the latest version.

Hi Max,
unfortunately I'm quite busy at the moment so I will start forward testing your latest version tomorrow.
as I can see is that 86d doing more trades then 71c. I think this may be due to improvement of NB and the addition of Trix.
