Guys, been testing this week the v5 and always been in one direction or another, ending up in positive pips. After the jobs report today, the EA opened up and ended up hedging itself. First time I've run into the EA hedging itself. Anyway, what would you do if you were me, if anything? Should I close out with a small loss that it's at right now or let it run its course? Very impressed that it hedged itself disallowing huge DD from taking place. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

hmmmm.....Wonder how much lower it will go...... {image}
I am a momentum trader, trade only during Asian hours in one pair GBPJPY, and depend on three factors for my trading with a target of 60 pips a day .

I have to estimate probability of pip movement by using Session Average and previous volatility figures posted on free sites: finviz forex performance.

My trade routine:

(a) Identify momentum drivers : Your EA captures momentum drivers (pair count) in real-time and I rely on it.

(b) Time it will take for the group (GBPJPY co-relation is 90-95% most of the times with the 14 pair basket) to achieve pips movement. Your EA is capturing that by way of weekly, day, 4 hour and one hour. I am looking for one pair which has close relation with 5 pair basket. I am not sure which one has.

(c) I do trading on M30 frames and enter market normally during last 5 minutes of each M30 candle during Asian Hours hoping HTFs will push the momentum during that time so that I can get out with 20 pips on GBPJPY in 10-15 minutes time of trading. These days it is working. Last Thursday I traded for 20 pips but instead got 80 pips in a matter of 7 minutes. Whether it is a regular pattern or not is yet to be determined.

I estimate how long the momentum time (15m or 30m) may take to reach my pip distance and then I jump into the trade in M1 tf and hope to exit whenever my target is met. TP is posted along with the trade itself.

When the market makers/HTFs unleash their volumes is not known to anyone but time marked (seconds/minutes ago) for each pair as well as the direction by way of an arrow the 14 pair will give an idea of whether to jump in the trade or not.

Risk/Money Management

Quick Top down analysis is given by your EA and I develop some bias for short-term trades based on my fundamental views and the economic calendar events.

Since I average positions into 5 equal lots instead of stopping loss to reduce my breakeven point, I apply my bias for preparing stand-by short-term trading in case my momentum trades go in adverse direction. More like a back-up system for me.

I feel the probability of pip making will go up by your addition of minutes ago against each pair.
I am eagerly looking forward for inclusion of these two features in your EA.

You can put the EA on a different chart.......just change the magic number....

Pair count = how many pairs in positive and how many pairs in negative.......
