Thank you for the test results, they show losses where the market was
ranging and profits where it was trending!

I use different optimised settings on my live accounts:
Fast MA 10, Slow MA 135
Exit time 7 (hours) Exit pips 7
TP1 31, TP2 40, SL 142 and TSL 31.

The Exit pips gets hit quite often, which reduces the profitability but
it is a safe exit and I have not had a losing trade since last October.

Regards
Geoff
Geoff,

First of all, thank you for this generous contribution.

If you have time, I would appreciate it if you could answer some more questions on your settings.

Does your post imply that you only use two orders?

Does exit pips = PositionMaxOpenHoursMinProfit?

Again thanks. Good luck in your trading!

i use hedging 1/2/2 ratio .
hy . i have not familiar with the set up tokyo_gu_h1 ...
it seems that most of time the slow ma has no direction .
i consider more the relation between the Pa and the TMA .
i am now testing the hedging strategy with tokyo session .
so far :i set up 75 ,-150 long gbp/chf 2 positive 75 pips
yesterday : 1. gbp/chf short with 50 -100 because the price is on up channel so i took carefull profit point . so the long hedging hit together
with the stop and we goot BE .
2. eur/aud short 50 -100 hit the profit with out open the hedging .

so i think that the hedging idea is more critic than anything else .
another important thing : for example :
we can take the gbp/usd to long when we have set up
and we can take the gbp/jpy or gbp/chf or other if we see a chance of
short . so : if the gbp go short we are profit on the second
and the first position will have a good chance to BE ..
so we got protective corrolation position
and hedging on the week position .

this ea is meant for the GU only it has not had good success with other pairs..I've tried

My plan of not trading long or short depending on the TMA and PA position has resulted in no trades this week so far. Although 2 buys a couple of nites ago would have made nice pips as GU is trending right now and is at the top of the tma

could you explain your hedge more 1/2/2

could you explain your hedge more 1/2/2
the main position is 1 unit
the first hedge is 2 unit
the second hedge is 2 unit

now on the daily the gbp is above the red tma and overbuy zone .
if we take short today let say 50 -100 we will see if the hedge will
open i think not .

No trades tonight.
Hi Inquisitor.

Sorry to ask such a basic question, however I'm having trouble with my GMT offset.

I believe you are also using Alpari UK and I notice your trades are being opened just after 11pm GMT.

My trades are continually being opened at just after 12am GMT (so just after 1am Alpari UK time), however no matter what I change the EA settings to I can't seem to get the trades to open earlier, it's rather frustrating!

Would you be so kind as to tell me what you have set your GMT offset too?

Kind regards

I have always used 2 orders set file and traling stop has worked perfect.

Tonight I used 3 orders set file. When the first order reached TP, only the third order whas trailed. The second order whas trailed to BE.
Is there problem with trailing stop if we use 3 orders. Works perfect with 2 orders.

When the first order closes the second and third order stops move up
to break-even, then the second order stop trails the price.

The third order does not trail, it stays at break-even!

Hi,
when I backtest this EA, it didn't put any trade. I guess there must be something wrong with my timezone and the GMToffset. I am in Beijing, China,GMT+8;my plantform is FXDD. Would anyone help me handle this out please? I am really jealous with those guys successfully running the EA.

Thanks very much!

Have you changed anything else in the presets? Make sure ECN = true. You may also want to confirm that your FXDD server is GMT + 8 byrunning the EA on one of your open charts. It will display on the chart the GMT offset of your broker. Make sure you have Expert Advisors enabled when you do that.

I am a control freak I don't like eas I wish to keep an eye on my hard earned cash at tyhe start of the thread is a PDF on manually tarding this system is anyone using that method with success???

I think the PDF you refer to was the one I put together, It was to show how it is possible to add positions when the EA opens positions at High/Lows and then retracts.
In that instance you look for a support/resistance point for the price action to bounce off, placing pending orders between the support/resistance level and the entry point of the EA .
This method is now included in the last version of the EA, where you can change order 2or3 to either a stop or limit order and you can adjust the amount of pips you wish it to place the order at.
May i also add that this thread has always been about a EA, so if you dont like EA's as you say, maybe you should look at another thread.

Many thanks for the work on this Geoff

I decided to try this out on my SLM UK demo account

I loaded the EA last night but didn't get a trade ( or anything in the journal/EA log , to say why it hadn't traded ) is this correct?
