Hello guyz, i just need to ask this, if i am to start an acc with $2k would be alright to trade 5 pairs but only take profit on the 1st target point only or should i only trade one currency pair and follow the trend on all target points.
I'd love to hear someones opinion pls. thanks

Really glad to see some of you still posting on this thread, as I am convinced this is one of the best ways to trade the forex. Ive only been using this EA for a little while, but was wondering if the EA has a buffer built into it? Just to avoid some of the fake outs especialy on the Gbp pairs. Maybe I have missed it.

Thanks guys.

Crazy day !
- 56 pips one test coz a beautiful mistake I did : Unchecked Expert Advisors icon = red= NO trade... But a good mistake coz on the other test I got a -798 pips !!!! Fortunately a + 195 pips floating
Well same problem: Touch Up/Touch Down levels = 2 SL !!! Bingo !!!!
I am really thinking of a 3 TU/TD Level for Guiness Book ! Who can do a 4 ???
Joking... but sometimes Fx is crazy !!!!

After 10 days some stats

On both Alpari UK and IBFX entry/end settings according GMT serveur TP30 SL30 BE 5 no martinguale others set ootb.
Be carefull about spread.
Worst curs : e/y, au/y,nz/y, u/cad (no win 0 trade, only losses !)
Bad : eur/gb, chf/y (one test good other :bad)
= : e/us, gb/us
Good : aud/us, us/jpy, us/chf, eu/chf
Excellent : gb/jpy
My 2c
Always thinking about the TU/TD Levels problem
Ask creator to allow a "channel" of X pips after Levels before Enty ?
Possible way... coz if the level i right on a S or Resistance, PA will go one, 2 or 3 times in a day after breaking OR not breaking. And if PA runs backs we are another time in the TU/TD Levels problem until...

Well well,
Nothing like live trading ... today while filling orders 1-2-3 here is what happened:

OpenPrice3 < OpenPrice1 < OpenPrice2 With
OOP3<BuySL and BuySL<OOP1&[email protected] ... quite unexpected right !

Thus, considering the modification I proposed, Order3 got triggered @BE+ although TP1 was not hit (makes sense from the programatic point of view), thus leaving Order1-2 in quite a nonsense.

This is not a bug, it's actually an unhandled live experience.

For that reason, the only "fix" I could propose would be the following:
1. Fill the order as currently performed in the EA.
2. Set TP1, 2 and 3 as currently done.
3. Validate that OrderOpenPrice 1 < OOP2 < OOP3
3.a. if yes do nothing
3.b.1 if no reorganise orders accordingly if min (OOP1-2-3) > BuySL
3.b.2 if no & at least one OOP<BuySL, reorganise orders based on their respective OOP but most importantly adjust every TP based on the min(OOP1-2-3)

or simply readjust the TP based on the min(OOP)?

What do you guys think ? Do you think this should be modified/handlded so that we preserve the order 1-2-3 concepts, or should this be left as-is (not a problematic bug) ? (I did not loose money on that one, and actually, this would have potentially saved from hitting 3SL in a worst case scenario as Order3 could have closed at TP but Order1-2 hit SL ... OR ... this would/may still have cut TP3 profits short !)

X.

PS: that is only for long orders, same applies for short.
PPS: SQ, I hope you will come across that post. That may be some kind of issue that may affects other strategies we are developping.

Dear all, here are 2 bug fixes I found trading live the EA V2.0.

Bug1: Accounting for slippage, closing at TP1 may not trigger the MOVE to BE+ due to slippage and thus not enough pips_to_lock. Here are a fix to make sure that each time a TP is hit, then the rest will be moved to BE+...

Here is what I implemented in my code. I know, the logic falls one-tick short in terms of MovingSLtoBE+ if handling slippage and TP is necessary as explained but despite if you are really not lucky, one-tick should not matter ... this is not scalping right ... and makes my life easier in terms of programming.

Please let me know any shortcoming or error in my code.

Does anyone try this EA with gold? What are the settings please?
I try many put nothing seems to work.
Thanks!

Nope!
You have to study the gold PA. And see if there is a "connection" with London market or NYC market
(perhaps go to Mataf site il they have something correlated between gold/us/eur/gb/yen)

Week ends with some lost going back from 25 % profit to 22 % on Alpari account. On IBFX big mess : my fault...
On other hand market has been VERY crazy. Near holidays better to stop.

FOR A NICE AND HELPFUL CODER
(Or father's of this thread but seems they all went to Bahamas after earning HUDGE $$$$$$ !!!!!!)

Would you please "add" into 3 Tier London Breakout EA V1.3
(and if Creators allows it !)

a/ In user settings : "Channel" (or "Deviation" or Entryplus") in pips.
b/ In market order, Entry trade will be :
Level + "Channel"
Example : Cur XX/ZZ, Level at 1.2530, "Channel" : 8. Long Entry price at 1.2538 , Short at 1.2522 short
(in London BO V4 the other thread and system there is this possibility to "adjust" the Entry trade level but no 3 trades at same time. I am testing now this EA)
This to avoid a bit the TU/TD problem : PA coming back to S/R
Thanks
Good WE

Could anyone please explain me precisely how does the MaxRisk work with this EA? I put LotSize 0.1 and MaxRisk 5% (just for my own use) and still my orders are opened with 0.1 Lot. Even that my account is much bigger... I don't understand that.

Don't know Jacenty.
Perhaps Phreddy knows and, as Creators/Gurus/Fathers of this EA are still fishing/fiestas in Bahamas, we are a bit blind.
Ideas : can you increase lots to 0.2, 0.3, 0.4.... ??? If so forget about Max Risk ! And increase manually your lots : yes I know not beautifull but... simple !

Ok Holy. You can't stop the 3 trades at TP1
You can : or reduce LevelResizeFactor or reduce TP3Factor. (TP5Factor to 0)
Chose a cur, SendTrades to : false and play with these 2 settings and you will see where TP1,TP2 and TP 3 lines are.
Choose the settings that you like...
Be carefull that some brokers don't like scalping (less than 10 pips)
My 2 c
Bert
PS Other alternative is to go to thread A simple London Breakout in FF, download Indi + EA : they "play" together (same creators)
In this version of London Bo you can have an "Entry Channel" to avoid direct entry trade (very nice) and a stop at middle of TP.
It should be EXTREMELY INTERESTING in this version to have 2 trades at Entry : one can stop at middle, the other one at TP...

Another some nice coder ?????
(Seems that all coders went to a "congress" with Mer and Squalou in Bahamas...)

No the ea can't work ! But the prices are still running ! It is NOT because your turned off your computer that Fx world stop !
And at the moment as you turned on your computer, open your acount : throught your Internet connection you received 2 ton of quotations... with the consequence you had...
Look at closing time of your trades : it will be near the moment your opened your MT4 plateform
Perhaps somebody who knows better can give you other explanation, but it's mine point of view.
In the meantime : good trading !
