{quote} Add Breakeven + Xpips option ( i.e At BE lock Xpips) ---> Would this be different from Trailing Stop ? Yes. This is different. This works if I don't want to trail the price but I just want to lock Xpips and let the price run till TP or hit the BE point. Addition: * No Hedge option: If buy trades are running and a sell signal is generated, let EA close all open buy trades and open the new sell trade. If set to true, system will close all opposing trades before opening a counter trade. If set to false then the EA will hedge trades.
* profit lock ---> OK.* Hedging Option ---> Already scheduled for next release.

that no hedge option is really a close on opposite option. No hedge would mean do not take an opposite order until the current trade(s) in the other direction are closed.

Not too big a fan of a TS, but it works sometimes. One can see how the early part of this test would have benefited from different TP/SL settings likely.

I had some spare time, so I ran this backtest just for shits and giggles. $2K to $62K in three months. M15 signal on M1 chart. Latest version with fixed TS. Completely insane to watch in visual mode. 25% is the best MT4 can normally do on M1, so I'm sure the test would be a lot different on 99% data, But, what the hell, we can dream, can't we? {image}
I tried to replicate ChicagoRob test but with 99,9% quality (for what it's worth):

My test was run with the 34MA set to 0(deactivated). Would you mind running one more without the 34MA, just to see if there is an overall improvement?

I know my results are not very realistic with 90% modeling, but I'm going to test it out, anyway.

OK, 34MA = 0 and period extended 1 day to match original.

Only diference should be that I'm using spread=10 and comm=5.23 instead of the original spread 20.

Thanks for taking the time to run these tests. It's apparent my settings don't work out very well on 99% data. I'm going
to run a demo for M15 signal/M1 chart and compare to my current H1 signal/M5-15 demos(which are doing very well).

Hi ChicagoRob. Under entry type input what did you chose : Pyramiding , Averaging or Both?... Entry on M1 tf will create too many transactions that make the spread/commissions hard to overcome.

I tested on M1 as well. The account usually hits 0. But i don't trust MT4 on M1.

Hi, abokwaik. I used "Both" for the input. I noticed, though, that Pyramiding yielded less profits, but had lower DD.

Hi I am reading your methods and I understand that if USD JPY AND GBP USD IF BOTH IS GOING UP THAT MEANS THAT GBP JPY WILL ALSO GO UP BUT PLEASE EXPLAIN IN DETAILS THE TIMING WHEN IF BOTH IS GOING UP SHOULD I ENTER THE TRADE

Usually GBPUSD and USDJPY move in different directions.Entry time is the time when they both move in same direction on the Signal time frame using one or combination of directional methods (previous number of bars, moving average, RSI .. etc.).

what do you mean by saying previous numbers of bars as I understand you need to look on current bars not previous because previous is something in the past please explain with arrows and chart

Previous number of bars is the value you enter in Loop Back Bars input. Current price is compared to the price that was at previous number of bars to determine if current price is up or down. In Version 4 the current price must be higher/lower than the highest/lowest price within previous number of bars (i.e. breakout). In version 5 I provided a selectable option to either use high/low price (as in v4) or simply use the Close Price (new in v5).
