Hi Maindrifriik Did you achieve those results using the EA or manual trading..... Great results there
​of course the problem is from Maindri choosing the trades that's why I asked him to show me his entries to fix the bug.

Hey mate, all those trades were done by EA when i was enjoying my nice deep sleep.

I will also post my entries and exits http://imgur.com/a/xmTSH

note that there is some error with EA putting 10pip TP 30pip SL lines sometimes but that might be my broker error. Does anyone know any other indicator or ea that will put TP/SL to any opened trades automatically ?

There is a very simple answer to that. Please if you are using the EA and you do not understand the concept of set files, do not use the EA. To explain, there is an option to use automatic Stop Losses and also an option to use automatic Take Profits. If you do not understand these concepts, please stop using the EA. As I have explained in a previous post, I am very recognizant that this is Lebaneese's thread and should not be clogged with posters who do not understand the EA options.

​first mistake for EG , the trend has started much before your entry, so u cant enter at the end of the trend and call it a loss , not logic at all, I always say we search trend start not trend end.

And Dave I want to add , such system very clear and easy don't need at an EA , if you are lazy traders this is not your job, deal with trading like any other job, give it time, respect and discipline.

{quote} Thanks for your input. It is very much appreciated. I chose hourly charts because the backtest results were better, particularly as I prefer to let profits run and I found that the NonLagDot color change on the 30 min chart was causing premature closures at the setting of 20. When I expanded the length, the paint seemed unrealistic in that really I was plotting a lagging indicator. I then started looking at the hourly charts and found by backtesting that I could reduce the length back to around 40 or 50 and still manage to fully capitalize...
Interesting progression on a side note!

At the very least, posters are hopefully starting to realise that this is a labour of love and before you post, some consideration and research needs to be given.

All trades are taken by EA and not by me.

Dave C: Fixed SL and TP is set too, which is wrong ?

A good basket will give you profit in less then 2 hours so why bothering yourself with an EA if u can do it manually.

Kind regards

​KasraFx first today I wasn't trading bcz yesterday I reached my weekly target .
For basket trading, the entries was earlier London session and we well know that when a big market open we could have a change in market direction, at first al basket was in profit so u had 2 options : 1- to close the basket at some plus amount u have to choose. 2- set all trades to BE and let it run.
So please the MM part I will not talk about it because it is each trader style.
( over trading will kill any good system, we trade for Money not for Fun so if u collect a good amount don't be greedy close the basket and spend the money elsewhere )

​Miho I told you the MM part is each trader style , for me I told you I trade one or two day in the week , when I reach 1k profit I stop trading and wait new week.
So as money management from my part I have a target of 1000 weekly which could be done in less then 2 hours.

The following diagram represents an issue which I think is indicative of the danger of using the last swing high or low as a Stop Loss point and that is why personally I am against that method of setting stop losses. The diagram indicates a potential exhaustion of the buying pressure nevertheless that was the first pullback on the chart and it triggered a buy. I would like to hear others thoughts on this issue. {image}
Here's a suggestion. How about the EA triggers a buy/sell with 4 consecutive dots of the same colour or at the first pullback, whichever happens first.
And you're correct regarding the SL because SL could be as high as 100 pips or more at times on highly volatile pairs, e.g eur/jpy. but that problem could be solved if the trader has an option to choose their sl at the time of attaching the EA to a particular chart. Sorry about my English.

Whilst I appreciate your observation, believe me I have been down the path of well meaning amendments many times previously and it only serves to complicate things.
