Disliked{quote} I've been trading the CloseAfterProfitPct from the first day and have never had an issue with this. Besides, if you are using MACD for your trend indication, THEN USE IT. If it is showing you a sell, then you probably should be selling. If it is in disagreement with the 20/50 EMA, here's a NEWS FLASH: one of them is wrong! If you want to use BOTH the MACD and 20/50 EMA, then select BOTH of them in your EA settings, and it will only take trades when they are in agreement. Some of you people are making this way too hard. This EA is working...Ignored
DislikedI'm a little bit worried about CloseAfterPctProfit parameter used with d1 macd method, but maybe a parameter to automatically disable the EA after all trades are closed by CloseAfterPctProfit function and manual activate again the ea could be a nice thing.Ignored

DislikedHi TallCoolOne on dynamiclotsize2: if(DynamicLotSize2 == true) { int LotSizeMult = AccountBalance()/LotSizePerBal; LotSize = LotSizeMult * LotSizePer; LotSizeMethod = "Lot Per Balance"; } I see you used int LotSizeMult= ... instead of double LotSizeMult, did you purposely used int type ? because with int type LotSizeMult is truncated to integer for example 5.9412 become 5.0 so LotSize = LotSizeMult * LotSizePer; become with int LotSizeMult 5 * 0.01 -> after normalization with precision of 2 it is 0.05 lotsize with double LotSizeMult 5.9412 * 0.01...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Yes, that is how I designed it, because if balance isn't $6000 yet, we don't want lot size of .06. Thanks!Ignored
DislikedHi TCO & others TCO: I found my own answer to lot size calculation using acct equity. Your EA logic also took into consideration the SL (which I forgot is the correct way to calculate risk based lot size.) I thought u simply used Acct Equity then cal the lot size based on pair's EP Others: I am not sure whether this makes sense. 20-50ema trades Gold better, 3ss will just pancaked it, I have tried it for 1 mth and ALL my 3ss gold trades went to SL without a single surviver (worst than Titanic tragedy). Whilst using the original 20-50ema, I had 8/12...Ignored
DislikedHi TCO, Here are the settings that I am using with your EA. I am manually intervening occasionally to take profit. I close all profitable positions at the end of the week. I also increase lot size at the end of the week. Regards Neio {file}Ignored
Disliked{quote} I'll be completely honest with you here. For you to have made over 70% on the account in less than 10 days means your lot sizes are way too large to be sustainable. That is a recipe for an account crash and burn. TFIgnored
Disliked{quote} Yes. a lot size of .75 is a lot unless you have $75000 account.Ignored

Disliked{quote} I would describe them as volatile and disorderly. A lot of chaos. Been a rough week for this method, even for the most conservative of us. Just gotta hang in there during these periods. TFIgnored
