that will not change anything
you can try changing risk to 0.1, or 10
the problem is likely in the math, its a digit off somewhere

maybe changing risk_pips will fill it, try 10 or 1000 or 10000

ok I have changed lot size to 0 and risk to 1.0, want to trade minimum 0.10 lot size

its probably not going to work, what if it trades 0.25 lots, is that valid on your broker?
if not, it wont work

maybe i should have taken that profit earlier
im tired of small profits, iml try n stick to that

its looking like a downward channel is forming
which isnt good, maybe?

about the only thing im thinking about, is where should i concider these trades failed

It is valid yes, I am just thinking if it's not maybe because of the digit broker, I wanted to test it on a 4 digit broker but have a 5 digit live account.

it doesnt matter about the digits, it works on both

this is what the lots code looks like

Inserted Code
int start()
  {
 lots= ((AccountEquity()/100)*risk)/risk_pips;
    if (lots<MarketInfo( Symbol(), MODE_MINLOT) )lots=MarketInfo( Symbol(), MODE_MINLOT);
   if (lots>MarketInfo( Symbol(), MODE_MAXLOT))lots=MarketInfo( Symbol(), MODE_MAXLOT);
   lots= NormalizeDouble(lots,2);

if you simple delete that, the ea will allow you to choose your own lots

delete this part
Inserted Code
 lots= ((AccountEquity()/100)*risk)/risk_pips;
    if (lots<MarketInfo( Symbol(), MODE_MINLOT) )lots=MarketInfo( Symbol(), MODE_MINLOT);
   if (lots>MarketInfo( Symbol(), MODE_MAXLOT))lots=MarketInfo( Symbol(), MODE_MAXLOT);
   lots= NormalizeDouble(lots,2);

other than the fact that my trades are negative, and price moved down on a small tf
i see no reason to change my direction, if anything this looks like a good areah to start buying

we are at the h1 trendline

h1 candle closes in a few minutes, its above the tl
iml remain long for now
im watching for something to change my mind

edit;
the trades on my candle charts if a diferent account, they have nothing to do with the strategy im using in this thread

i think i made some bad choices today, i need to learn from them

when price went up earlier, i shoulda thought as all 3 trades individually
i should have exited the third trade at 30 pips when ha changed colors
i should have exited the 2nd trade also, because it is a failed trade
the first trade to, it was also a failed trade
i should exit failed trades at a swing high regardless of the profit
