FOMC Minutes:
FOMC minutes on its history is not been a market mover, but today I will set my setups to closure mode, starting now, just in case.
The last Yellen's speech moved the market against USD, I do suspect they will do something to stimulate USD pairs.
stay tuned,
bauta

Hi Bauta . How we set one pair (ex. all usd pairs ) to closure mode in one time when other pairs are running ? Thank you.

  1. Download ApplySettingsToAll.ex4 in post one, save it on Scripts folder.
  2. Setup one pair with the settings you want to apply. For closure mode you can schedule it using start/end time or changing CONTINUE to false.
  3. Drop ApplySettingsToAll to the chart you configured (master)
  4. Go to inputs tab and select the currency you want apply it to.
  5. done.

What ApplySettingsToAll do is save a tmp template and load the template on the charts. it's mean you can execute ApplySettingsToAll on any setup, it is not EG104 only.
thanks,
bauta

How do I calculate the minimum account balance per each pair to trade symmetry?
first, StartLotQty parameter must be equal or greater then account minimum lot size. you may use i-MinLot script in post one to get values.

account_balance_per_pair = StartLotQty * 10 * Contract_Size; (double the amount is best)

example:
standard account, lot size or contract size of 100,000 and minimum lot of 0.01, StartLotQty=0.01
balance = 0.01 * 10 * 100,000 = 10K minimum needed per pair.

Cent account, lot size of 1,000 and StartLotQty=0.1
balance = 0.1 * 10 * 1,000 = 1K per pair.

Cent account, lot size of 1,000 and StartLotQty=0.01
balance = 0.01 * 10 * 1,000 = $100 per pair.

let's guess you are in cent account, lot size 1,000 and minimum 0.01 (StartLotQty). You deposit $500
you should start trading 4 or 5 pairs with target of about 0.03, it will average 1% per day.
every 100 profit, you add one more pair up to 12 pairs.
after 12 pairs you start increasing StartLotQty per every additional 100
if you target 25K, move to standard lot account.

for accounts smaller the 25K, never withdrawal more than 1/4 profit.
Got it,
thanks

Closure Mode Suggested:
For LIVE accounts I do recommend closure mode 3 hours before this event, and effective for 5 to 6 hours.
http://www.myfxbook.com/forex-econom...07-2016/651848

start at about 4 from now up to 9 hours from now.

I will keep Demo explorers unchanged to be able to measure the effect.
stay tuned,
bauta

I do recommend at least double the balance,
one alternative is to use symmetry as scalper,
do the following:
activate symmetry and set TakeProfit = StartLotQty * Contract_size / 10,000
note that EG104 has an PipsOffset=1 parameter to offset slippage. I do recommend keeping it at 1.

this scalping method will scalp both sides at the same time, it will open and close many orders.

I know there are many peoples here that believe in the idea of saving the spread keeping the order open longer instead of closing and reopen. Well, do the math. Trying to take all the money from the table makes you lose money.

for your cent account you need to know the contract size (lot size) and the minimum lot. All cent accounts are not the same.
if you provide them to me, I may help you to calculate optimal parameters better.
