Helo got a question. The 2protectaccount EA am I suppose to use it at both the 15m n 1h offline chart at all time? Or enable only after I got into a trade?
And the settings for it, if the size is 0.01, -560 means it will close all trades when floating p/l reaches -$56 right?

The way I understand it, on a mini-account, you'd be lookin' at $5.60 (560 pennies).

Just closed buy at +822 (two five-pair baskets: GJ, EJ, AJ, CADJ & CHFJ), based on Yen weakness. Was in an 'iffy' long basket from late NY session yesterday and added a second basket about an hour and a half into Asia, when HAS went all-green & stochs were synched up.

EDIT: Shoulda left it open. It just blasted up another 70 pips while I was making this post.
Dear Pinhead
I wonder if you can post your STO indicator.
Also can you tell me if you still use the offline chart? And if you still
use offline charts, how you put only JPY pairs on it ?
Thank you very much for your time
Best regards
Dan

Here is a visual HA backtester with some breakeven capability. I figure this is what you were most interested in with my chart so I just modded the Heikan ashi indicator. You can use this on your offline charts or really any chart. You just need to hardcode your pip size and expected spread.

NOTE: The BEUseHighLow parameter only controls when it checks for profit on the BE. I still use High Low for BE exit checks because it is the only thing that makes sense to try to approximate realtime decisions.

DISCLAIMER: There are issues with history syncing in these basket charts that effects how accurate the chart is around old bars, highs, lows etc. Please be an adult (ie do your homework) about interpreting the results of this tool.

I am testing some 1m scalping and it seems to be quite good if you see the HAS change colour then wait for a pull back for your entry. I use stochastics that I have customized.

Hi, Dan. The Yen pair setup, at first, was just something to use as add'l input and/or confirmation after learning that T101 was using his "core" pairs in place of the 12-14 original pairs. I just created my own set of core pairs, which is a slight variation of his, to more selectively trade the risk on/risk off sentiment. And since it shows the Dollar/Yen relationship, it makes it fairly simple to decide which pairs and which direction to trade. I'm guessing that the Core5 offline charts mirror my pairs pretty closely, so that's the one I watch. Modifiying it to match the pairs I'm using would be way beyond my capabilities, so for now it'll do. In fact, what I'm doing is probably inferior to the Core5, but it allows me to see what's going on in a 'paint-by-numbers' kinda way, which is how I like it.

This is still in early stages, but I like how it works so far. Time will tell.

Closed long (-12p) as Obama's speech got underway. His telepromptings tend to have a negative affect on markets. 4H offline is overbought and showing signs of heading down. Same with 1H. Will wait for a retracement on the 15M chart before selling. Yen and Dollar pairs are all rolling over, too. Looking for the coveted 'harmony'.

I have been trying to figure out how to use the various ea's that have been posted here but to no luck. Does anyone have one that can secure a break even and then profit at a chosen profit either in pips or $?

I can't find a really clear explanation of how the protectaccount EA works. No source code is offered, so it's impossible to know exactly what it's doing behind the 3 user inputs. kos put up a screenshot of the EA displaying the status of the basket in the chart window, but there's no display when I use it. I'd like to go live on a penny account, but need to know more about this EA. Haven't seen kos around for several days now. Can anyone help shed some light?

No offense, dryclean, but I've been here from the beginning. What I haven't seen is a CLEAR explanation of the EA. Do you fully understand how it works? Cuz I'd really like to know.

EDIT: Nevermind. Was able to find mq4 version. There's some controversy about whether this EA is legitimate. Otherwise, I'd post it.
