If I am not totally mistaken, a while ago you wrote in the 00-level-system thread that you use a special script for order execution which makes it very easy for you! Hence, you shouldn't have any problem with it!

Don't think every day is like today but sometimes the pips are very easy to collect. We have to be prepared for it.

Maybe using 2 broker accounts inside same excel? Like that you're system statistic doesn't interrupted by manual trades. Since I am guessing once the trade was been taken this is banned from automatic trading.

Or different approach, intends of banning the manual trading automatic reduce it lot to 0.01 , so the automatic trading will take the same trade but with 0.01 and you can still see all you're system trading's .

Just by using different comment's , TP/SL for you're manual and auto trades and then see them in a sheet is not good enough if you're manual trading is preventing automatic trades. You basic overwrite the system and take trades with different rules that the system has been write.

You are guessing the right direction. If a trade is taken already, the same pair is prevented from taking another trade until the next session or I clear the buffer manually. I always can override / trade manually, only the automatism is affected. And there is absolutely no need to change anything. The system and I, we are doing (almost) the same since it was developed accordingly to the statistics of my thousands of trades. I got some precious tools and the only thing I have to do is to read it like others read a chart.

Oh my memory again, I eat a lot of chocolate that's why probably can't forget thinks that fast. You are not right, not even in theory. Of course a system automatic trading is trading based on our rulls, our trading style and what we have write in it. But when you prevent an automatic trading by doing it manual before X,Y filters to be reach

" I guess they all would have been executed automated as well but why to wait if I'm already here at the desk and see my opportunities! "

When X and Y could be reach an reversal could happen or market move in other direction.

An example that has been posted few pages ago, would you system take the trade later few seconds it would end in a lose one. Maybe that trade was automatic or manual that is not important.


I am just trying to learn from you here, so please don't feel offended that I argue my point of view that clear, but I use something similar to what I describe upper and I want to understand why is not much better.

Guess, the system wants to take the same trade but a few tenths of seconds later than I took it already, it will not happen! So what's your problem? The system might become faster in execution if I switch it from moderate to aggressive mode but why should I? Everything works fine here and I am happy to have a daily challenge if I want it.

And sometimes it just happens opposite. I am fixed on a pair and just in the moment I want to press the buy / sell button it's done already. I am happy for this and how everything works together.

Thanks JibalaPasan for snapshots and comments. I remember you were pointing DO Line filter as one of important. And this trade is ignoring this rule. Was it a mistake taking this trade or were there some other more strong reasons for ignoring it?
