Would it be possible to externalise (http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=7008884#post7008884) the hedge feature, Magix?

{quote} May be the multiplier is ON?
Hello bluejack, I wish that the multiplier was ON, but like I said every other setup are set on False.

{quote} For some reason, your account looks a lot different than mine on closed trades. The size of the DD is also larger due to the multiplier vs add on increment. Different brokers do have marginally different prices, but we aren't exactly comparing apples to apples. I have mine set to: Increment TP_In_Money=1 AutoProfit=false TrailStp=false. Running as a true SWB trader.
I compared your settings with my, the only difference the lot_multiplier.
Your: lot_multiplier=0 and my: lot_multiplier=1.
But I see on your account 0.01...0.02...0.03 etc. Thats not the multiplier parameter?

Sorry, I find the answer in the documentation:

lot_multiplier FALSE


if true, lot size for each order added to a basket will be the lot size of the previous
order multiplied by this. Also, if this is true, multiplier is used instead of
increment.

Replaced them with other versions of STOMA that take longer TFs into consideration.

The new ones are linked in my FF trade explorers, never did get around to swapping the myfxbooks out.

Hi Magix,

I had an idea for another way to try to trade Stoma2, so I set up a demo to test. I basically wanted to apply it to all available pairs and set it up for sl 11 and tp 11 with nothing more - so we either win or loose the .01 lot trade each time. Here is how I set the options:

Comments=STOMA_Filtered
magic=77
Trade_Lot_Settings=Money Management Settings
RiskPercent=100.00000000
start_lot=0.01000000
increment=0.01000000
tp_in_money=1.00000000
range=15.00000000
level=10
lot_multiplier=False
multiplier=2.00000000
use_sl_and_tp=true
sl=11
tp=11
AutoProfit=False
tp_factor=2.00000000
trailStop_std=0
MaxSpread=5.00000000
Stochastic=Stochastic Settings
k=12
d=3
slowing1=5
OS=20
OB=80
lot_multiplier_2=1.50000000
lot_multi_2_level=3

Using this file set the EA sets up a tp of 11 as it should, however it does not set any sl as you can see on the screenshot. Am I missing something? I think this will be an interesting experiment particularly with this EA and the H1 filter. Seems to me there are more wins than loses and with the H1 filter employed, it stops the EA from jumping back in on a loosing trade after the SL is hit.

I can always set up a trade management EA but we start to get into a lot of charts this way!

Thanks

Hi Bluejack,

I used to use pepperstone and they were excellent. Very fast deposit and withdrawal and very tight spreads. I paid commission per trade to get the lower spreads.

The only reason I moved is that they did not do a Mini account, only down to micro and I wanted to trade with mini so I could keep my starting lots smaller. Other than that I would still be with them.

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers, Matt

Hi,

as I kwon there are 3 ways to take profit:
tp in money
use sl - tp
autoprofit

In your setup 2 of them was set to true: tp in money and sl+tp
Maybe there is the problem, try to use only 1 setting

Its draw down.. if you have 1000$ and your open trades goes to -100$, your account draw down will be 10% .

BJ, I think he meant why there is a difference between the Acc Max DD shown on the chart (95.14%) and the DD on the Myfxbook (8.88%).
