Ahah! Yeah, for this reason my first doubt was what really mean "right in start place". I thought like could be a way to get out early with some profits. Then you explained to me in a brilliant way how it should work and i realized that it was not working well, at least on my platform because no one reported this before...
I'll wait for news...
Really thanks for the support!
Let's the week-end begin!

Question.

How I make EA to take equity and not balance.

I opened a cent account

And I have 50% credit, but it keeps taking balance and not equity, so it doesn't take the 50% credit I have, and I would like to have it.

Or is it safer to take balance?

Hi all! Finally i'm back home, so i can back to concentrate on this amazing EA. I'm still using Stop Order during London Only with nice results. Almost 100% return in just a little more then couple of months. {quote} I noticed that almost everyone is using Limit Orders now, they looks more stable. With Stop Orders i got some scary DD a couple of time, so since 3 days I put a demo with your GTLIMITEURUSD2 settings. I would like to continue use STOP orders, reducing my risk factor, the morning during London, and put on LIMIT the evening when London...
Yep I am pretty tech savvy for an old bloke but sometimes it goes right over my head but i get there

Thanks for the patience am on track now will star a new demo next week

Aaaahhhh...
OK. Yes, some broker does give bonus as equity.
Wait a sec... is your broker XM?

I will add it on v1.8. Be patience...
Typically balance would be safer. But I don't deny that this is a good option to have and less efforts.

i am on a new demo test spree having a similar profit multiplier as yours (but with 0.01/100 lots used)...

do you believe limit orders are better than stop ones*?

which pair are you trying your setup on?




*to be honest i never truly understood the real difference between stop and limit orders (although i know what they "stand" for)

I mean friday on our time... it should be trade as usual right?i saw your TE open trades too yesterday.
Remember Last week (friday our time) we turned it off due to FOMC, as yesterday I saw no red news, I let it roll, but why no trades?

hmmm just curious bro

It s depends i think on trending and ranged market. If EU will go almost straigh in trend wiyh small corects gtlimit will bring so many lose trades i think f e. 19.08 - 24.08. With my settings in that time I would have call margin at 80%.Next week I want try vertical line stop trading at time of important news with gtlimit and start trading with gtstop at this time.Yes slianto I also think that is crazy profit

Did you managed to get to see in experts tab or journal tab, is there any errors?

or have you checked the global variable to stop the EA whether it is enabled (1) or disabled (0)?

Let me try to help explaining it.

LIMIT, you have to use if the market is ranging, which typically this happen when it starts near end hours of London time and ends at near end hours of New York time, and continuing until Australia time. Why choose LIMIT, because essentially LIMIT will be used when you want to place a pending order which you will expect market price will retract back.

If you notice (and this is common sense, but no one realized), people tend to avoid trading on the ranging market. They always look for trend, trend, trend...
But, we are looking for a ranging market, so we can catch the profit. It is very rare a situation where market is trending. The most common situation is, it is trending but it will retract back in the Australian time, or before EU opening.

STOP, you have to use when the market is trending. So this is the opposite. When LIMIT you look for ranging market (sideways), STOP you should look for a trending market, which typically happen during the opening time of each affected currency, or when a huuuuuge d*mn mother of news is coming out.

I would say, not better in terms of profit, because this can be vary. In terms of manageability, LIMIT is slightly better. When you apply STOP, you would expect market to break through. But when it is not, you'll stuck in your position quite a long time. But LIMIT, although it is designed for ranging market, sometimes we got trend over the ranging market. But at least, we can avoid trading by looking at the calendar and say no to trade today.
Also in terms of stability, since the control is on your hand, it is much better compared to STOP.

That's my point of view.

{quote} I've set the setting not to trade on Friday.
Ahah. Me too having little troubles understanding the GTLIMITEURUSD2 hours setting...
I'm try to translate your settings to GMT so that everyone would be able to arrange to their global position.
Talking GMT which days do you trade?
We understand the trade window, you start trade when London Close for 5 hours:

GMT 17:00 -> GMT 22:00
GMT London Close -> GMT New York Close

Now, again speaking in GMT time, do you trade this session which days?

Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday - Thursday (??)

Do you NOT trade the last NY session of the week (Friday in GMT time) to do not have trade open in the week-end?
Thanks mate! Just want to solve this problem so that everyone could have a GMT map of GTLIMITEURUSD2...
