By the by guys, fwiw I set up the EA with the 10:10 tp/sl today and it lost heavily.
I have gone over to the 100:50 that I found in backtesting. We shall see.

Hehe. I know exactly how you feel.
There you are way ahead of me. My copy/pasting is bollocks.
without your mptm what i am doing would not be possible.
for years.

My pleasure. Without all the help and support we receive here at FF, not many of us would be doing any trading at all.
until i find one i can relatively place any amount of trust into... looking at the aussie ones - IBfx Aus like you recommended and GO Aus.
beat the broker
beat the market
beat yourself/your setup
i seriously believe not enough press is given to the shit that we have as retail traders to deal with - it might as well be a rigged one arm bandit in a shitty amusement arcade.
back on topic - im trying to remedy the extremity trades this EA takes - ie trades to far into the move so will limit to within bbands and add an MA so it keeps on trend.
im an indie whore - that isn't an indication of what you think.

That is why most of us use the term "Criminals", first introduced by Steve to describe these people. I am afraid there is nothing we can do to combat their criminal activities. If they did not engage in such practices, scalping would be the most profitable system. Many of us have given up any notion of beating them and have moved to higher TFs with larger TP and SL in order to be less susceptible. If you have a TP/SL of 10 pips and the criminal does you out of 5 pips that is 50% but if your TP/SL is 100 pips then 5 pips is only 5%.
[b]I know...
Until then, buyer beware.
Dear Steve,
First of all, thanks so much for your effort and dedication in coding the EAs and sharing with us.
I'm pretty interested to try Trumpcard out, and so I took a quick look at the codes. Here are some feedback for your consideration:
Inside Bar check
Should it be Low[1]>=Low[2]?
Comparing the previous closes
The EA could be a bit more "sensitive" when comparing closes for 5-digit crim. It appears that a bar is considered a trigger bar for a long trade when its close >=0.1 PIP of the previous LookBackCandles bar closes. May be a non-issue...
Thanks!
