@100pipsaday

Hi, i would like to make a suggestion. Maybe you can include it in the first post if you find it useful.
MQ tried it with the OneClick improvement, but still did not done it right.

Its a simple indicator that colors the SL and TP Line and shows the adjusted SL & TP in Pips directly at the Chart.
I like it. Useful, especially if you follow more Charts at once.. Found it also here in the FF.

Cant find the link again, but all thanks go to the developers. Thanks.

Hi 100 pips, what to do ? actually I got ea disabled on all pairs ... wait for reversal ? but reversal seems still far away, indeed I took some manual trades long on gbpusd, eurusd since some days and today long on euraud (trend resume) ... the last one maybe last juice? ;-) who knows ... anyway I didn't have nerve to re-enable the ea on resumed trends.... only manual: few trades and I felt more confortable with them ....
it seems an indecision period
let's see what will happen ...

I'm still sitting out all of the pairs with this particular strategy. Am going to patiently wait for confirmed trend reversal. I already squeezed out over 30,000 Pips in the first 2 months so even if I have to wait another 1-2 months before trading with this strategy again it is fine by me.

Most fund managers would be happy with 50% per year and I have already accomplished that in the first 2 months... Like I said, I really don't mind waiting this out for another month or two if that's what it takes for a solid confirmation of a new direction.

Hi 100Pips !

Market is not trending very much these days...
Nethertheless I'm satisfied with the outcome of this method.
I will test it some more time and then will go live with my futures account.
I'm using Ninjatrader for that.

Good night

HI 100 pips what stop loss are you using are you still using SL 250 & TP 350............
I have changed quite a few of my Stop Loss and Take Profit parameters. Below is what I am currently using. Feel free to use your own SL & TP parameters, just remember that we need to keep stops wide enough so that we don't get knocked out of our trades from temporary "news" spikes. Also, try to keep a 1:2 risk:reward ratio if possible.

We are definitely in consolidation mode, however, I think tomorrow we will see fireworks with FOMC. I'm patiently waiting for new trends to develop then I'll enable the EA for quite a few pairs.

All we can do now is hurry up and wait...

Hi 100 P,

Great looking strategy. Obviously a lot of thought went into this. I'm interested in anything that keeps me from spending hours in front of the screen so this fits the bill.

Problem downloading the EA. it's an ex4 file but should be a mql4 file or am I missing something? I've done this a million times BTW.

An ex4 is the compiled version of the mq4 file. Just put the ex4 file in your experts folder, and your good to go.

Well I see, thank you for your answer, yes we can afford to wait for and enable again the ea when conditions are good.
then in the future for the sl and tp settings is it possible to find a formula like for example atr(14)*3 or something like that
cuz I would like to be autonomous in choosing them, you know in the future you can not update anymore the current sl & tp on the thread and I don't want to use incorrect sl & tp, for example like now I was using the old sl & tp settings now I updated with the new ones....
thank you again 100pips for your efforts....

I'm sure some sort of formula could be made for SL and TP but I don't think I will have Khaled do any more programming as it isn't really 100% necessary.

However, if I do decide to change SL and TP parameters I will definitely post them up here for everybody to see!

Glad you're still around Claudia! 38% in 3 weeks, can't complain with those kinds of results.

I think everybody trading this system has been doing pretty good and understands the rules and the concept of this type of strategy by now. I've seen so many different D1 20 EMA & 50 EMA trade explorers ranked pretty high up on the FF trade list! Demo and Live...

not needed more programming from khaled for the ea now,
I didn't mean for the ea, just define a rule for sl & tp for example sl=atr(14)*2 and tp=atr(14)*3 for all pairs.... (it's anyway easy to do manual calculation of those values also without ea) but if you actually are trying and experimenting with values and still didn't find a unique formula it's good the current fixed sl and tp, it was mine just a suggestion for the future.
anyway I'm also a mql4 coder ...

I see what you're saying, I wouldn't know where to start with that type of formula... LOL

The SL & TP parameters are more there from "experiential" learning more than anything.

I found mine but, it is so unique only I can use it, so no use even to tell you, not even if you give me the third degree
