{quote} Did you set the second one that I no longer use? http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...64#post8689764
I have it set like this. If I disable the jumpstep, it won't move my SL to BE, regardless of it's settings. If I choose 'true', than it starts trailing the stop. I am quite confused.

No wonder!!!! You have it set to move to BE+15 @ 0.0 pips in profit, and to trail 1 pip behind the price, the poor thing is confused.

It is 20.40 pm here, I am off, 2morrow is my hospital day so CU all Monday

I found out CII works better on time charts. In renko it's almost the same as MACD 7,10,5.

Thank you for the help, I set it up. I want it to move my SL to BE when price moved 15 points in my favor then do absolutely nothing. We'll see how this works tomorrow. Thanks again.

2 more trades, for +40 and +42
Entries are not very sharp, need your advice to be more accurate. I was about to close them as one was close to -25 in drawdown. This part is killing me.

I also note that MACD repaints, so no mater I have a green with closed candle, if it moves further back it vanishes the signals, and this is hard to deal with.

Any ideas and advice is very welcome.

Best regards and have great weeken all

MACD does not repaint. It does change color on the current candle until it closes, so does every other indicator.

GER30.+2+2+52+64. 1st one long I was pushing my luck for a long that late in the leg. 2nd one early short, I jumped the gun, I should have waited for the BRN, but the last 2 were perfect.. It is late in the day for a Friday so not sure about any more trades, vamos a ver.

GER30+49+40. There is normally a bit of a kick around 17.30 CET, I think it is the office boys cleaning up before going home. I hesitated on the first pullback which gave a 123 with the 200% expansion at the BRN, hence my target at the BRN 9800, the second pullback to the 200EMA (5pip chart) with Divergence, helped clear the cob webs out.
That will do for me, pays for the weekly shopping.
CU Monday. Have a good weekend.

You are very in-consistent with your entries at the moment, but it does take time to hone the skill, i certainly did not manage it over night.

yes that's what I thought. Although Islander uses it with different settings from the default but they are secret.

Set "SLMinDistanceToPriceJS" to greater than your TP, then it will not trail.

EDIT Just corrected my mistake. Sorry. it should be "ToPriceJS" not to "ToPriceBE"
