DislikedHi Steve,
I have noticed that OrderClose function in CheckForHiddenStopLossHit function has hard-coded slippage of 5. Being part of reusable code, I thought it might be good idea to fix it.
I have copied your code from init() to adjust it for 5-digit criminals (attached).
Kind RegardsIgnored
DislikedWell eventually The Beast did open a hedge trade but at -330 pips not the -300 that I set in the parameters, it added 30 pips from somewhere, BE pips? jumping stop pips? I don't know.
Anyway as soon as the hedge trade opened Sods Law came into play and GBPCHF started to retrace which meant that the (double lot) hedge trade was going bad at twice the rate at which the original trade was coming good, so I baled manually from the hedge. As I type it looks as if GBPCHF is going to ruin my first week of live trading with TB.http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon9.gif...Ignored
DislikedRan it on demo for 2 weeks with no problems now running live with microscopic lots so only like another test really.Ignored
DislikedFor everyone else complaining about the DD, I've been manually closing trades every 24 hours or w/ a stop loss of 100 pips. Whichever comes first. Takes a few losses here and there but enough winnerse to more than make up for it.Ignored
DislikedHedging will not kick in unless the D1 Rsi defines the market as trending in the direction of the hedge trade, so add the multi tf Rsi to your charts for now.
I will add a D1 Rsi trend notification to the screen feedback.

DislikedOK, so I finally got caught up with you all on this thread
I don't mean to preach to the wise, of whom there are many, but I was surprised to have reached the end of the thread and found no discussion of how to handle the really bad rogue trades. Don't rely on the bot completly. If you have a plan, you can execute it without emotion and any event will then fall within your system, rather than being outside it's control.
Cheers, Beastie.Ignored

DislikedHi,
attached is a simple multi-pair "SIXTHS dashboard" indi.
It shows where each pair in the list are compared to their SIXTHS Lines.
It shows a "cursor" that helps you locate where price is in the Sixths range: left side means bottom, right side means top, of the Sixths range.
The color of the line tells you in which "Sixths zone"it is:
[color=RoyalBlue]- blue means it is beyond the Gold Lines -- not yet entered in the Sixths trading zone; or it is TRENDING!
[color=Orange]- Gold means it is now inside the Gold zone, but has not yet reached...Ignored
DislikedNo problem. I wouldn't presume to tell anyone what to do. All I am saying is please think how you will handle bad trades before they happen. If you plan to leave it to the EA, then that is fine and shows that you have considered it, but bear in mind that 'unbreakable' in backtesting means just that. Backtesting has zero emotional influence. Watching your account dwindle before your eyes is the exact opposite.
A fantastic system is presented here that works superbly. Couple it together with a little common sense and you have a winner.
Cheers,...Ignored
