Hey heytwok, as I said I am running an other version live and can't optimize due to my poor cpu/ram. You can run some backtests with different ATR tp/sl and fast and slow ma and see what happends, I'll try to upload some tweaked setfiles asap

Random backtest on the 9 first months of 2015 using dynamic settings (dynamic SL/TP, lot size) and loss recovery, I could only do it using control points so if someone could do proper backtests I'd be grateful

Hey, which is your broker? try setting the freeze zone at 5 or 6 instead of 2, it should work better.

There is a bug related to dynamic SL/TP in the version 2.1 I am going to upload 2.2 in a few hours.
Regarding your sets, (and aside the diff SL/TP) your lotsize limitation should be slightly higher if you want to allow the EA to lose more than 5 times in a row and recover.

(De plus ton spread utilisé est de 15, ce qui représente une grosse différence pour des réglages court terme, je suis chez Pepperstone en live et je ne trade jamais un spread supérieur à 7 points hors commission)

Thanks for sharing Ed.

1 trade yesterday on my VPS but no recovery. Any idea why not please? Fixed lot setting at 0.01 and rest of the settings are default.

Just out of interest why Ludique in the comments please?

Happy new year.

Changed recovery to 2 from 1.8 may fix? EA went long EURUSD at 1.093 10 minutes ago with new recovery setting.

Hey Why Oh Why,

Are you using it live already? You should wait the time I get to proper sets. The default settings might be too risky for your account, and the recovery mode makes you recover over time, it is not instant (the future positions will be bigger untill the EA recovers it's loss)
If you are really interested in running it live, run some backtests using different settings before running if possible

Only pennies. I believe demos should only be used to get familiar with platform.

Ahh. Makes sense. Ty. So next trade based on triggers will be 0.018 for USDJPY and 0.02 for EURUSD?

Back tests are worthless IMHO.

I just released 2.2 which fixes the bugs related to SL/TP/TS, switch to this one on your VPS please. I am running the version 1.0 on my VPS I will publish results soon, and update it to 2.2.

I have a different opinion on backtests, I belive that curve fitting can be avoided and that it can help having an idea on the best set range depending on market conditions. I'm not saying I am entirely relying on it, but still.

I'll come up with a few set files soon, stay tuned

First trade of the year just now is USDCHF. EA colours on the chart have gone a bit squiffy. Any ideas Ed?
