{quote} Dave , It is totally logical and it is far not a contradict i will explain it as detailed as possible so you can get the point. Example: 1. A buy order is opened lot 0.1 SL 50 TP 100 2. the buy order was closed by SL so we have a loss of 50$ approximately. 3. Now according to our progression the wager is increased lets say for example by 1.2 so the lot will be 0.12 SL 50 and TP 100 4. Assume now that the second order that we just opened with 0.12 lot was closed out by breakeven with a profit of 0.01 cent or more no matter the only thing...

Nice to hear that are great news. So back to testing. I really not gonna suggest anything new , only some tweaks can be done after testing but i insist on my saying this EA is totally profitable without adding or tweaking anything more , it is only for testing and exploring reason. But i can see that the code is already too large and even a small tweak takes valuable time to implement it so i don't expect that every suggestion can by added to EA , it is more for discussion reasons , i really realize your efforts.
But as soon as the thread is an ongoing project i will only suggest not demand or claim lets add this and we will get 50% better results , because i think we have more than needed to make EA to bring some money.
As soon as it is your EA please let us know in which direction you want to dig , in order to help you.

Thanks for the input Alex. My first priority is to make sure that there are no issues with the EA in it's current form as I think that there were too many changes previously. I'm all for money management ideas and I mentioned that lot scaling was on the agenda. The other matter is improved CandleStick recognition. Working on the example .set files at the moment.

Dave ,

I can you suggest some links for the lot scaling i have heard of lot sizing not sure if they are the same ? Also what do you think about hedging , becausse on MT5 platform i know it is not allowed , and according to my exprience if something it is not allowed by the house it seems promising , just my thoughts.

Lot scaling means scaling out of trade positions. for example take 1/3 of lot size out at 50 pips profit, 1/3 out at 100 pips profit and let the remaining 1/3 run to full take profit.

There is also scale in concept , but need some time to come up with some reasonable ideas

Hi Dave

Just loaded all the updated files from Post 1 but as soon as i start MT4 orders are getting placed and then immediatly deleted and this just keeps happening in a loop at a rapid pace the only way i got it to work was by stopping the close trades EA.

Is there maybe an old setting files somewhere that the closetrades EA uses and thinks i have hit my profit/loss target already today

Hi Dave been testing all afternoon and notice that the USDJPY MACDCross was set to SL Break even 20 the trade was about 33 pips in profit but the SL break even hadn't been moved it was sill at the original stop loss, I then moved it myself.

I am still watching other trades but all the others seemed to have moved the SL Break even as they should have, so was wondering could it be a specific JPY issue

I will look into this because I had seen this behaviour previously. As I matter of interest, I went to the demo I set up last night which was on Trade Explorer and noticed it had done exactly what it had been set up to do: close down all trades at plus or minus $150. There was only the 1 dummy trade existing so it had worked there.

I've got about 3 hours left before close of trade so I'll see if I can replicate the behaviour you describe.

I had a look at the USDJPY 15 Min pair and I could not see any price action where the pair would have moved 33 pips into positive territory. On the demo I have set up, there was only one sell trade at 118.837 at 0930 GMT which meant that the price would have had to drop to 118.637 before the break even to cut in. There was only 1 brief spike at 1300 GMT to that price (+25 pips) and in my demo, that trade has been closed by then and I can't see any 33 pip moves.

Could you look at your trade journal and confirm the open price and confirm where there was a 33 pip move.

I looked at your account and noticed it had only traded continuous straddle trades, because my demo had other trades but after seeing the time of your post, I now realise it has just recently opened. Could you please post your results at close of trade?

I have now tested the Close Trades EA successfully 3 times so I suggest that there may have been some residual problem. Could you please open a new demo account and load the concept file settings and report back.

I'm re-enabling the 21 strategy Trade Explorer and will now let it now trade continuously. Also added the RSI strategy which has been trading continuously and will load the MACD and Continuous Straddle so you have a comparison on the 3 included strategies plus the combined strategy. The only one so far to have traded continuously is the RSI so that will appear at the top of each page. The others will be in my profile.
