{quote} Thank you for the answer. I was looking in FXCM api trading for scalping, because MT4 lag very bad and I have a very very good PC confirmation, but for scalping and watching on 28 pairs , you can experience lot's of problems with MT4 no meter what PC you got since the platform is limited and old, but there is no too much information around about peoples trading via api. Do you experience any latency or naked orders that don't close ? And I more question if don't bother you, for example aeseme dashboard has most...
First of all your English is readable and to understand, hence don't worry because "nobody is perfect"!

Once again, maybe I've mentioned a hundred times already, I don't watch any charts (except Gold & GER30)! The screens you can see here in my posts are for illustration purpose only.

The delay can be in worst case 1 second. Nothing to complain about order execution, no empty orders or something like that (unless there is a bug in the order module). A small video taken on Thursday after the speech of Draghi you can see >here<. Two orders are in play already, hence have a look on NZDCHF. Imagine you have 2 screens, one shows the PTP and the other with MT4. How much longer it will take, after determining a respective signal, to switch the head from screen 1 to 2, open the respective chart on MT4 and click the buy / sell order button!?

We like to use our own tools. We simply can add features if needed. We simply can analyse the code if something is going wrong. We neither have to wait on bug fixes, nor to ask someone to add / change something. We love our independence and we love to see how nice everything works together!

{quote} Nothing has changed, the range for TP is still something 4.2 - n Pip depending on market conditions. What currently we analyze is the fact that the first move has become smaller. That's why the hard earned profit needs to be protected. The trailer uses a 0.5 Pip step from being in profit. Edit: This is to confirm my above statement. I just read it in the user manual (guide) of another (commercial) scalping system. If you increase the volume size while scalping, do not go for more than 5 pips even if the indicator shows a perfect trend. Or...
Regarding to your contributions Nr 83, 271 and 620

With the 4.2 TP depending on the market conditions and a Trailing Stop in place as protection you have a very high strike rate. No doubt! But even 99 Percent is not 100 ;-) and sometimes you have to bite the bullet. I would like to know more precisely how do you handle such situations with the GAP strategy according to Marialuiza.

In the context of another strategy in the Dashboard Trading forum ( Post Nr 7865) you have stated that only Take Profit is market oriented and the SL is fix at 35 pips. And in contribution Nr. 10690 (Dashboard Trading) you reinfored your statement above. "SL at 35 pips no matter what". But there you traded with the trend, strength/weakness There it makes perfect sense because you have to give some breathing space. But here you want to grab a few pips on a small correction and run away. Do you leave the initial SL in the market or do you have rules in place to throw in the towel if designated rules have fallen short of?

Many green pips

hey LFN any updates on running v5i on auto?

thanks

Quoting LFN
Is this for real? Less than 2 hours since I started the new 5i, full auto. Default settings, but TP8, SL17. Showing all trades, both opened and closed. Lets see after some time what filters we have to enable. But it looks stunning on this VERY short period. Of course I am not drawing any conclusions yet. {image}

Don't nail me on that 4.2 Pip because this is not a fixed TP! The WSD uses an algo for TP, hence we never know what it will be, but the smallest is at least 4.2. The PTP starts with a ratio of 1:1 (35/35) always and all depends on market how far it will go. Until today it has never gone till the end but ~50% is >4.2!

If there is no profit at the end of the month, we had to think about this system / strategy!

Btw great start with +70 Pip. Have a nice week all together.

Hello,
Can you please explain the exact moment you chose to enter? Do you wait for 3 positive Sell signals, or just buy/sell near δ. Some times the signal remains for long time.

Don't worry :-) I really like the idea to vary the TP depending on the current market situation. At present i'm using a fixed 5 pip TP .
