HI All EA or script to manage SL Does someone use an EA or a script , to calculate the size of the position based on fixed Risk % ie : SL is 5pips from entry or SL is 8 pips from entry , so the position size has to be different if i use a fixed risk of let's say 2% if the EA or script can include TP and BE+1 solution it will be perfect i'm looking for the MQ4 file , even a paid solution thanks in advance SB
@Slowbrain, Got this script from Sangmane's thread, http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=281772 its been very very useful in calculating position size on fixed risk.
you can check it out if it will be of any use to you.


This thread has really helped shape my mind towards trading in the lower timeframe, thanks TS, PTG, L, MichealG and all. And of course I've learnt great philosophy from Bruce Lee.

I've been having great trades but haven't had the time to post some of my charts, also having some losing ones and learning from them.
I wanted to know if trading with a stop loss greater than 20pips is ideal for HOLO trades, this is in case the high or low of the day is more than 20 pips from the HO or LO. My frequency of hitting BE+5 is high from my trades and I've had few trades above 11pips, mostly when I close it out. (wanted to get certain things right, though my trades are still good)

So is there a max SL for HOLO or do you stick to the rules irrespective of the SL size?

Morning PTG,
Just to clarify rule #1: If any M5 candle makes a new daily H/L during the Hour (or M30 in your case), we have to wait until the H1 candle closes to consider an entry? In other words, we cannot enter on the hour even if the new H/L happened on the first 5 or 20 minutes?

I ask because I see that scenario happening quite often.

Cheers,
Keen246

Thanks for your question.

I have gone back and checked it.
A breakout happens when price breaks through yesterday's high or low. So rule #1 refers to price breaking through yesterday's high or low.
If price makes a new high or low today, but not beyond yesterday's extreme, then that is not rule #1, but it is best to be careful because if price returns to the open line it may bounce instead of going through. But that is not rule #1.

Hope that helps.

I will have to check my postings to see if I haven't mixed things up in some cases.

Actually, it IS rule #1.
Breakout is making a new daily high/low or
Going above the previous day's high or below the previous day's low.

Currently way above PDL.
It must have pipped you out by a fraction.
After such a violent move down, it's always a good practice to be very careful and be ready to quickly kill the trade. Better 0$ than -$$$
This move down may not be over.

Textbook entries on Bars 10, 9 and 2.
When you understand this, practice it over and over.
Nothing to add.
Nothing to subtract.
Nothing to change.
You can make this your own.

OK. Time to end the confusion.

I re-read post #1 and it says this: "When price breaks through yesterday's high or low or makes a new high or low today, that is a breakout! Trade the reversal with caution."

This post says http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...17#post8921517
"When price breaks through yesterday's high or low, that is a breakout!
Trade the reversal with caution." I don't see "today" but I suppose post #1 overrules in all cases, right ?
By the way, the last sentence alone deviates from Rule #1 since "with caution" is something else than "no entry".

But here's the kicker afaic:
Notice that the first time price goes beyond the previous' day extreme it is bound to also be a current days' extreme, so in that sense there is no need to refer to yesterday. It is covered by "today".

I think it should be this: "When price makes a new high or low today, that is a breakout! Trade the reversal with caution."
Forget about yesterday
