got slipped 20 pip + 21 pip of spread , after realizing how far away from the candle open my order has been filled i closed it ASAP, which was a mistake, the price kept going up for 40 pip more. i got out with +8 pip. how much slippage do you guys usually get ?
Hey Tylerbose

It depends what sort of broker you are with. An ecn broker you can get large slippage (20 pips on big news releases isn't uncommon) but the spreads are still reasonable. MM brokers are almost opposite with huge spreads but smaller slippage. Then you get the real shitty brokers that hit with massive spreads and large slippage.

The EA is working and for 20 seconds keeps trying 3 times to open a trade. I think the broker has disabled using EAs. Everything else is set correctly.

You have to speak to your broker

Dear Alan
when I change tf on the chart, the ea deletes the pending orders.
I think this is maybe work of the DeleteOnShutdown,
(I dont operated the "disable automated trading when period has been changed" in the "options", and the face in the up right corner is still smiling).

what do you think?

Yes that's on purpose. Set DeleteOnShutdown to false and the orders will stay open.

I have read and translate your amazingEA manual but has many features that still do not understand, and therefore leave disabled. I wonder if I can configure the EA so that when the price touch a pending order and open an operation, when the price floor on our side, the SL moves to the purchase price or sale and stay there if the price return against my orden, I do not lose nor gain money. Example: I bought asset to 1.3500 and the price rose to 1.3501. I want the stoploss move to 1.3500 pledging not to lose money if returned against me, disregarding the spread =).
Thank you Allan

{quote} oh, come on! how did you got this precise information?? is it an avrerage of historic results??
using my spike deviations, i analyzed the move (spike as well as continuous movement after a short retrace) of each news from 2012 (may have changed cos i did this about a year ago)
calculated the average, and subtracted 10 from the average (since i use PointsAway=80).....& used the result as my TP
US GDP & Core Retail Sales were below 40 after the 10-pip subtraction, so I just used their averages like that

amazing work
thank for sharing.

just a layman's question:
if for exemple we have once a spike of 100 pips, and afterwards nine times it was just 10 pips, so we got average of 19 pips, is it makes sense to put tp 19?
so how can you trust the averages if the spike happens not so offen?
