DislikedHi Dave, As per our email exchange, I will post here a public request for you to add a partial closure function to the EA. This feature would allow traders to close portions of a trade at different take-profit levels. Additionally, I personally would like the function to allow a choice of stop methods for each portion of the trade. For example, one portion might use a fixed stop and the other a trailing stop. If your strategy has a positive edge, the use of more than one stop method can help smooth your equity curve and reduce drawdown. To other...Ignored

Disliked{quote} I think you're saying that if there's a position open, close half or so after it reaches the target, then let the others ride? I'd be open to this idea. Depends on Dave of course, if this is complex or not. It could be something like if your TP is at 150pips, when target is reached close 60% (or whatever), and let 40% ride? Where would the SL be for this remaining 40%? To the trailing SL that has been on since the position was opened? I like this concept.Ignored
DislikedDave, your EA and success are great! I have been trading using the OOTB settings on the pairs and strategies in the setfile folder, but am not having the same success. Can you tell me are you tweaking your pairs you are trading on and the setfiles a bit? I d recognize that brokers can make all the difference. I use Forex.com in the US. Thanks for any input everyone. SDIgnored
DislikedHi Dave On the above chart are you testing different strategies or have you just not changed the comments field as it appears you are using MACD_RSI, RSI and BBands which are different to the traders concept. Also if you could give a bit more incite into optimization as i have now downloaded your minute data and have been trying to run optimization over a 3 month period and then running the optimized strategy for the 4 month to see if it would have worked I am only on the AUDUSD pair so far but am struggling to find good optimization. But then i...Ignored
Disliked{quote} I am testing different strategies as per the comments on the above chart. The EA is still the same but I started a test on the 9th March and let all strategies run continuously from the beginning. My own observations to date are summed up very briefly. No opening trades on Mondays. No opening trades outside of Euro and US Sessions. Minimum 1 hourly charts Indicators RSI MACD EMA & BBands with Candle, Volume filters. Use Money management - SL Multiple, TP Multiple, MinPipGain, BreakEven, DecrStopLoss I will investigate pairs outside the majors...Ignored
