Hehe. Optimisation is great fun. It is also bollocks. Hey-ho.
Spider: an auto-trader for spiderforex's VQ system
One of the things I hate most is having to read queries from people too lazy to read post 1 properly.
Ouch !!
"AlsoManageMartingaleTrades tells Spider to apply your chosen management functions to the initial trade in the sequence, and not subsequent Martingale trades should the initial trade fail. "
I did read this ...promise !.....but this tells me that it will manage the first trade in the sequence and not any subsequent Martingale trades entered afterwards so the trades should have stayed open for me to manage (right?) but they didn't stay open they closed so i wanted to know what Spider looks at at this point ? .....am i being thick or what ?
Maybe someone else who has used this feature would enlighten me so as to not bother Steve

Great, I'm experimenting too this one, but I'm thinking to add some tweaks to the bot.In fact, some of them are already added.
1.Dinamically calculated lotsize for Martingale,based on total sequence profit and individual position profit into the same sequence.Haven't figured yet how to properly get the closed orders profit from history(just for the orders from the developing sequence, starting with base lot)but it already works like this:
* if the previous position profit (base lotsize 0.01) is > than a given
value(I use -1), but TP wasn't hit - next lotsize is the same;
* if previous pos profit(let's say we had level 3 mart, with 0.04 lotsize)
plus closed orders profit(from the start of sequence, so from base lot
0.01) is greater than BE total + a given value(I use 5 pips x actual
lotsize), the sequence is resetted to base lotsize, even if TP wasn't hit;
* if the actual position(lotsize 0.04) is closing at a value greater than
(-7 pips x lotsize), next lotsize is the same,so we avoid escalating mart
sequence too fast;
* if total profit is negative, mart sequence is continuing as usual;
2.Improved TS, calculated from the SL, not from the OrderOpenPrice, also tightening to half TS, when price has travelled to the TP more than a given percent(I use 65%).
3.I intend to add also a minimum range for opening positions, acting like if we analize previous 5-10 bars and the price is ranging into a tight area, we don't trade, until this is broken.I've tried to use also SMA_Angle for this to determine this by the angle of SMA, but the indi I got is really weird, so I'm pretty stuck here at the moment.
4.Also I'm analizing if it's worth adding to this minimum/maximum distance from AA, like in the other bots, or some Trumpcard candles close sequence to confirm, but in this case, the bot will become really complex and complicated, lol.
Hahaha, so, if you like to have a look at it, just pm me, I'll send it to you.Just give me a few hours, as my other comp has decided to crush it's own video card
.
I test this atm with 1st TP 150 pips, 2nd TP 60 pips, with 40 SL and 20 BE(2 BE profit), with 45 pips TS, Mart multiplier 1.5, on 15 min chart, 24h trading.Obviously,I do manage even the Mart trades, but I'm gonna test it with no management for those, but in this case, mart sequence will be free to develop with no control and I don't like this
P.S. Don't shoot me, I'm just learning the coding stuff...I was able to do all those tweakings just due to Steve's work! Thank you, Steve!

correct, this is my latest M1 setting which I'm testing on 24h, hopefully the BE profit setting will help with trades that were reversing and hitting the hard stop after being positive in the + 8 to +12 range.
So far today,
5 TP = +60
2 SL = -7
