Just got hammered by the Euro, I then went and did some reading up on it in the EUR/USD thread. I am going to set my SL at 40 pips for the Euro, and the others will stay at 20. I should of bailed out on the trade when I knew I was in trouble, but I thought I could tame the savage beast. The beast won this round, I lost. I also did some reading up on the ATR and have been trying what I learnt on the Euro, just to get some pips back (well its the only currency that I trade that at this point in time has an ATR between 15 - 20).
Can you post screen of the trade? Thanks.

Hi Tread, thanks, another thing I learnt today, didn't know there was a calander in the forum, a loss can only make me stronger.

Hi Badass didn't get the screenshot of that trade but will post my trading results and the time of the trade will be on that, it was a bad enty point so I learn't many lessons from it.

Finished trading for the night so will post my profit soon.

Had a really bad trade on the Euro, it was a bad entry point so my fault, didn't follow the rules and paid the price. The last 10 trades were on the EUR/USD. I was trying a different entry method based on the value of the ATR, when I was doing these trades the EUR/USD was between 15 - 25 ATR.

Here are my results for todays trades 5.11, I made 23% profit today.

Nice results. Is your initial stoploss 40 pips and then if 8 pips positive you enable the EA?

Loaded the template. Any idea why the indicator on the very bottom are all green? Sure would seem some should be red on the smaller time frame.

HI Icfxtrader, for the EUR/USD it is 40 pips, for the other ones it's 20 pips. The E/A is always running S/L can be set in the EA, it is easy to find in the EA, I didn't put a screenshot of the SL in the EA. With the 8 pips positive, yes it is activated at 8 pips but your trade has to drop back to 5 pips before it will close the trade at 5 pips. There is also the Advanced stop which activates at 2 pips and if your trade goes back 90% from those 2 pips it will activate and close your trade in profit, but not much in profit.

Now you have me stumped, your correct it shouldn't be all green. You could try deleting that one indicator and loading it again just remember to set it to true on the higher time frames.

Most probably an indicator/s is missing. To be safe install the V3 and V4 from the installer on the THV Thread and also the support indicators for the SwissArmyHisto.

Or to determine which indicator is missing, Click on the Experts Tab in the Terminal window, you should get a list of errors with the missing indicators

Not bad, probably most of them are small gains about break even, but the Cave Manager is taking care of you well. You keep your pace up, you will be trading multiple full lots before you know it!

But i don't like your risk-reward ratio, how often has that come into play and would your results be drastically different if you used a 15 pip SL?

cheers

I was asked for my Cavemanager set, so I will post it here for everyone. When trading on the EUR/USD I change the SL to 40. The set file SL is 20 for all other pairs.

Hi Goldsurfer, yes the cavemanager has saved me too many times to count, I am very reliant on it, this sort of trading would never work if it wasn't for the cavemanager EA. I went back over my trades and out of those 7 losses, 5 trades I closed manually because I knew I was in trouble, and 2 trades hit my SL of 20. From what I remember a few trades ended up in profit which if I had a SL of 15 would of ended up losses, so a 15 SL would of added a couple more losses.
