Ask me when the market closes on Friday Alsup . Too soon to tell now. So far I am 30 - 0 with about -1430 floating pips.

So, whats your overall opinion of that version compared to the standard g.
Or is their not enough time yet from the testing to make that determination??

Try changing your percent value to "0.05" and use 1min charts.

TraderSeven,

I found this script in one of the forums. It goes in the script folder.

Set the date range and I need to set input MagicNumber=0 for it to work for me.

I have been reading this thread with some interest. It sure is a long one isn't it

With all the reports of bucket loads of pips this thing is generating I was just wondering if anyone has traded it yet with real $, not just a demo. I'm curious to see how it deals with the negative equity when a margin call is looming.

Cheers,

A few people are using various versions live at IBFX. Read the other Firebird threads.

Put ReportTSD v3 OpenTrades script in the Script folder, which is in the Experts folder. From the main platform screen, open the Script folder in the navigator window. Then drag the script to any chart. An alert "Done" will appear. You will find this report file in the File folder inside the Expert folder and can be opened with your Browser, such as Explorer.

I haven't seen a lot of difference between MA_timeframe of 15 or 30. My chart is M1.

Yardie, mr.trader, Mono and others have tested different timeframes, chart selections and their comments are back somewhere in this thread.

its ok, i think the reason was that you had 0.01 in the lots field my broker of choice wont do micro lots - changed that and it's took its first trade - lets see then

Must admit, i like the idea of the hedger but it still does not hedge every trade - with that when you think about it the only time you would lose would be if you had a 300 pip run without a single retrace - one or two 30 pip retrace's would make you around break even and more would mean profit -seems like a no brainer to me but then so many things look like no brainers till you actually run them!

with the trailing stop version would there be any reason for the stop to tighten?

reason:

had a usdjpy long trade and trailing stop suddenly jumped up but jumped up just 10 pips from the high and then trade got caught.

does it have anything to do with hitting the opposite band also?

I believe the TrailingSop works alone and has nothing to do with the envelope (band) . When t/s is triggered, it sets s/l to 5 pips below bid on Buy order and 5 pips above Ask on Sell order. Then if t/s is triggered again, the s/l is reset again by this same method.
